JUICE FAST WAY TO HEAL - THE TIMES APRIL 14TH 207
Can liquid diets cure bowel disease? It helped one woman.
Heather Auty-Johns fell ill with ulcerative colitis, an inflammatory bowl disease and was helped back to health with a fruit and vegetable juice fast .
"In March last year, under Shaw’s guidance, she came off all medication and started an initial two-week fast, when her only food intake was fruit and vegetable juice, such as carrot, spinach, beetroot, celery, apple, orange. She says that at the start she missed the social aspects of eating, but generally she found the whole thing quite easy.
Then she moved on to a one-week vegetable juice fast, and then a three-week vegetable juice and water fast. In total, she fasted for six weeks. Every day, she took her own blood pressure, pulse and temperature. Some days her blood pressure was very low and her blood sugar levels were so erratic that she felt really weak, and couldn’t get out of bed"
