Ummmm....He was a bit put out but when he got some food this evening he enjoyed it and he's gone to sleep tonight without begging for treats every 5 minutes.
A lot of my Doctor colleagues at work swear by fasting and two of them who were chronically I'll with rheumatoid arthritis are now off-treatment :)

woofgang, for most of us on protracted diets. I think that quality of food intake and watching what goes into your body goes hand in hand. I've been on a min carbs for ten months and recently relaxed it at the edges (still no bread, rice or pasta and min spuds), over 3 stone down but very attentive to what goes into me, a lot more greens etc and way over the 5 or 7 a day....
Woofgang, I'm presently reading "Fasting and Eating for Health (A Medical Doctor's Programme For Conquering Disease)" by Joel Fuhrman. It's fascinating and the book explains what actually happens at a cellular level once we embark about a fast. Nearly all cases where there have been years of self-abuse are completely reversible with fasting.
Tests have been done on various animals and fasting has been found to be beneficial and prolong life in all species.
A lot of Doctors now believe that fasting is the future in fighting disease as systemic medication does not cure chronic illness, it only ameliorates the symptoms. Fasting has been found to cure and reverse disease, eat tumours and scar tissue and remove the need for biologic and cytotoxic medications.

Joel Fuhrman. is a Quack whose 'Scientific' studies are based on less than 500 'willing patients'. (buy his hardback book on fasting to health at the bargain price of $255.
If fasting cured RA the NHS and even private healthcare providers would be using it as a 'cheap alternative' to costly biometric and main stream DMARDS.
until last year I was a very fit athletic slim woman who ate very little meat and lots of healthy fruit and veg. My auto-immune system decided to fight me - so are you saying if I fast for so many days a month I will be 'cured'? ...Tell me more....

Ah retro has arrived with her considered opinion.
Furhman is not the only Medical Doctor to do years of research into fasting.
As for your assertion that the NHS would be using it by now if there was any stock in it, the Medical world is really only just waking up to the incredible healing powers of fasting which is why many Medical Doctors believe this is the FUTURE of fighting chronic illness.
As for whether you'd achieve a cure through fasting...There's only one way to find out.
Oh and fasting once or twice weekly is purely a maintenance regime. You would have to undertake a much more prolonged initial fast, supervised by a Medical Doctor, with a strictly controlled dietary intake prior to the initial fast, to make a difference with a condition like yours. You can't expect your body to repair itself in a day!
