Dr. Alvenia Moody Fulton (1893-1999) was a world-renowned nutritionist and naturopath from Pulaski in Giles County, Tennessee. This is another contribution to our understanding of her views on fasting. Dr. Fulton recommended fasting as another strategy for losing weight because in many cases it eliminates physical aches and pains that we have had for a long time as it removes toxins from the body which have been the root cause of poor health for so many people. Dr. Fulton always recommends that one consult with experienced healthcare professional before going on a fast for more than three days so they can help prepare you starting and ending the fast properly.
