Can Fasting Save Your Life? How Diet and Fasting Can Reverse Chronic Diseases

While intermittent fasting is on the rise, less is known about medically supervised water-only fasting — even though it has been used for healing for millennia. In fact, it’s possible to treat and reverse high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, autoimmune disorders and many other chronic and persistent health issues on water alone. But is it safe, and who would even consider such a thing? 

For the past 35 years, Dr. Alan Goldhamer has been the director of TrueNorth Health Center in California, a multi-discipline, 70-bed inpatient facility specializing in medically supervised water-only fasting in the treatment of chronic conditions. Over 25,000 patients have undergone fasting of 5 to 40 days at TrueNorth, and over 300 doctors have participated in TrueNorth’s internship and residency training programs. 

Plant Powered Metro New York is pleased to welcome Dr. Alan Goldhamer to the New York area this September to share insights from his practice and research as explained in his new book, Can Fasting Save Your Life?

Dr. Goldhamer will explain how fasting reverses metabolic disorders, hypertension, and obesity, and share evidence on the safety of fasting. He will also discuss the importance of improving diet and lifestyle choices in order to maintain the benefits gained from fasting. Join us to learn more about this amazing natural and successful approach to restoring and maintaining health.
