I’m wondering whether a 48-hour fast once a month, forever, would keep you safe from all the major diseases. My reasoning is that all the major diseases — heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. — start with oxidative stress that damages cell DNA with a free radical searching for missing electrons. The 48-hour fast would induce a very intense autophagy that would pretty much put a halt to oxidative stress and any chronic inflammation. The fast would also strengthen one’s immune cells.

I am a voracious reader and also enjoy writing. I often have a very different point of view than the popular one. I do see value in debate, and thought it might add to the public debate on controversial issues if I were to express my contrarian opinions. I also started keeping my poems recently (I've written little pieces my whole adult life but never kept any); and I've been a photographer now for over 25 years. So I will be adding an occasional poem and hopefully interesting photograph to the blog along the way, just to spice things up. View all posts by Henry Barnard
