The medically supervised water fasting model is antithetical to big pharma profit and revenue, and here's why:
The pharma model is essentially that "bad genes" necessitate intervention with laboratory made "artificial" substances (not organic, not food) to control and mitigate flaws in nature. The premature killer of most developed world humans is heart disease and the corresponding condition of high cholesterol, and that we can (and must) address those conditions with artificial substances.
But it's a whack-a-mole game because all artificial substances (not food) have certain "side effects". In other words they are all toxic to some degree or other.
The medically supervised water fasting model essentially disproves the theory that most "incurable" disease is caused by "bad genes", by the rapid and sustainable reversal of chronic conditions.
Pharma tells us: "these disease conditions are life long, with no complete cure possible at this point in time, and caused by bad genes that are the luck of the draw, we are sorry to say, and unfortunately, to be as healthy as possible under the circumstances, you will have to take certain medications for the rest of your (unfortunately degraded and shortened) life".
And let me also gently point out here that the capitalistic business model of increasing profits to benefit stakeholders depends on an increasing consumer base, and allow you and I to deduce the insane paradox of that situation within the context of health care.
The medically supervised water fasting model, which is not a sustainable lifestyle (we cannot live on water only), can also be transduced into a lifestyle that is sustainable predicated (in the most simple terms) on three basic things, sleep, food, and exercise, in that approximate order of priority. In other words, good sleep of sufficient duration, non-toxic energy inputs of sufficient nutrient composition and quantity, and regular movement with sufficient rigor of the body.
These are the conditions that create optimal health, which itself is the condition of ideal levels of energy and mental clarity, and the absence of disease. This is also one of the fundamental foundation planks of "happiness" (to put it simply). Other fundamental foundation pieces are constructive social relationships, and a life with "purpose".
If/when optimal health is achieved medications are no longer needed, and in fact become counter-productive due to inherent toxicities.
So we know what good sleep and exercise are, but highest quality non-toxic food is hotly debated. However, a consensus has been forming around one particular point of view that the non-toxic foods of sufficient energy and nutrient composition are all "whole foods", ideally without the added toxins of modern mass production technologies. Or as one of my mentors says "whole, fresh, ripe, raw, organic, in no particular order... select those foods with the highest combination of these qualities."
Other things can be said to flesh out the picture, I'll suggest you view a recent interview with an individual with arguably the most experience with water-only fasting, and founder of True North Health Center in Santa Rosa, CA. He is visibly excited about what he does, and I think you will enjoy him and what he says.
