Ask yourselves why you lose your appetite when you are sick. Ask yourselves why wild animals rarely touch food, even water, when suffering from injury or disease. Ask yourselves if you've ever really felt true hunger, which is said to be present in the mouth and throat, and not the stomach. Ask yourselves how much money is made from useless pills and costly, and even injurious, therapies every year, while doctors and family and friends alike urge you not to fast because they're convinced it is intrinsically harmful for you; most likely, they are referring to famine, which occurs after the depletion of your bodily reserves.

Would Nature really be as uneconomical as to urge eating three sizeable meals per day, threatening you with death or vital tissue damage should you fail to find food on time? Look at your anatomy for reference, and study the animals in the wilderness who are not possessed by human intellect. A better guide than that is hard to come by.

Primarily morbid growths, damaged or harmful tissue, to begin with; autolysis, at least in humans, is designed to safeguard the most vital organs until the very end, until lack of stores from which to draw to sustain the organism leads to starvation; this is the only point during the fast to be afraid of, if at all, but it is only because the cue to begin eating again - real hunger - was disobeyed. Tissues are lost in the inverse order of their usefulness.

A great book to read is The Hygenic System, Vol. 3 by Herbert M. Shelton, it's available for free in .html and .pdf format online. It actually goes into detail about fasting for even longer periods than a few days, which is why I brought up famine/starvation. Most humans have reserves to last several weeks, easily, if they make sure to rest and aren't too spendthrift with their energy. IF is great, but it's only the tip of the iceberg.

When I'm talking about this, I'm mainly referring to cancer cells. If the body is left to its own devices, cancer really doesn't stand a chance; assuming the faster maintains his or her health after the fact, by not overeating and by eating mostly raw and nutritious foods.
