And now, the news
Had another meeting with the thoracic surgeon at the U. He recommends surgery (imagine that). I REALLY don't want to have surgery, as there's actually NOT a guarantee it'll fix the problem, and there a 6 week recovery period. And they'd want to do one arm at a time

Dr. Furhman's story is interesting to read: as a college student, he participated in the Olympics as a figure skater. However, somewhere along the way, he got this weird knee problem doctors couldn't fix. Things came to a head when his doctor essentially wanted to open his knee, poke the cartilage several times, and sew him up in the hopes that this would fix the problem. (Interpretation: doctors didn't have a fucking clue what they were doing.). His father had undergone a lengthy fast while he was growing up to cure something (a heart condition?) and Dr. Furhman looked into that. After a lengthy fast (3 weeks? 4?) his knee problem was fixed and he went on to compete in the Olympics and won third place.
Preparing for a fast is important (several weeks of a particularly healthy diet), and breaking the how you break the fast is also imporant. But alot of people with blood sugar problems (feeding you in self-defense) have had significant improvement in their blood sugar management through fasting.
Of course, all the books will tell you that you should undergo fasting only with doctor supervision, but mostly I think the lawyers make them say that (and because they run a fasting clinic). I've fasted for a week (a fairly short fast, in this context) and had noticeable health improvements.
