Fasting to fight disease!

[Kym]

I am going to jump right in here. This is my background. Diagnosed with thyroid cancer in Dec of 2004, (was pregnant) choose alternative medicine and shrank the tumors. Fast forward to last month, weaned the baby! (We are both doing great) and am interested in putting my healing on the fast track now that I am done with baby so to speak. I have a few hurdles to overcome. First off, my blood pressure is high. I am working on an iodine suppliment as I have covered every other possibility as to what is causing it to go up. It was low all through the pregnancy and something caused it to shoot up after I had her. Anyways, I want to be sure a juice fast will improve the blood pressure seeing that I am 30 lbs overweight. I am concerned about the strain of a fast on my body. I am young though, I think I can take it. I would like to do a 20 day fast, as I figure that will take off some weight and curb my appetite. (and possilby shrink those tumors more) I have been vegan now for about 18 months. I have a green star juicer and plan on doing most of my own juices, primarily carrot, apple and wheat grass as my base, along with some other greens etc.

Thanks for your thoughts.
