Speaking candidly with the audience, Jeff answers questions on parasites and worms, the distilled vs. spring water debate, fasting physiology vs. juice cleansing, blood work on a raw diet, and how to share this lifestyle without being preachy. His central message: fasting is the most powerful tool for deep healing, and the body's intelligence does the rest.
