Before Dr Shelton, there was Arnold Ehret. The body can have a great deal of mucus in it that it dumps into the colon. Have you ever seen a lot of stuff in the toilet that looks like jellyfish? Also a lot of bacteria grows in the colon and that comes out in the toilet.

I have read about people having to evacuate waste during a fast but it never happened to me. You cannot evacuate waste if there is no peristalsis. So maybe no one ever said that peristalsis can stop during a fast because it does not except in me.

Maybe if I was examined by anthropologists they would find that I descended from a race of humans that died out. The theory of enzymes is that you need them to digest the food you eat and if you cook the food, it does not supply those enzymes so the body needs to use one that it has stored but then they can be used up.

That is the theory but no one has ever heard of the following that happens to me. I was eating at a health food restaurant 5 days a week. I would eat my 5 favorite dinners (cooked food) each week. So I was eating the same meal once a week. After a year of this I could not eat those foods anymore. I lost all taste for them. So then I would have to eat specials on the menu that they do not usually have.

But with raw fruit, I can eat the same fruit every night and not get tired of it. Also many years back I lived next door to a pizza place and ate pizza 4 times a week since I loved it. After over a year of that I lost all taste for pizza and never had even a slice for over 2 years.

Maybe the peristalsis can start up again during a fast and then after evacuation stop again. I do know that you cannot evacuate waste without peristalsis.
