He'd have to back that statement up and be a bit more specific. Let's face it, aging, over time, damages kidneys too. And it's pretty much a guarantee that too many calories will harm the kidneys. And...anyone with diabetes or other metabolic diseases cannot and should not attempt a fasting life style.

Just like most things, you have to do your homework and decide what's right for you.

You may want to look into the work of Dr. Valter Longo. He's been working on this since 1992. He's done work on fasting and cancer you might find interesting.

I have to agree with you on second opinions. A few years back they busted some dermatology clinics in Florida for cutting out skin cancers that didn't exist. These clinics had in-house pathology labs. So....find out where your biopsy is sent and make sure they don't have a connection to the doctor. Better yet, get a second pathology report too.

Can't let your guard down for on minute can you?
