Dear Boys and Girls,
First, a disclaimer: I don't pretend to be a medical expert. But, I did some basic searching on the internet to find information from a medical expert on fasting.
A lot of the stuff out there on fasting seems a bit hocus-pocus with all its promises. Fasters beware is my first tip or word of caution.
However, I liked Dr. Elson Haas's perspective and insight on fasting. He is the author of
Staying Healthy with Nutrition: The Complete Guide to Diet and Nutritional Medicine

If you'd like more information on fasting, you can get his book or read an excerpt from his book on the following site:
