Chris Wark Interviews Dr. Nathan Gershfeld On The Healing Benefits Of Water Fasting

In 2005, while studying to become an electrical engineer, Nathan Gershfeld developed a thyroid tumor and was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis. Nathan decided against drugs and surgery and instead pursued a holistic approach to healing. After adopting a plant-based diet and incorporating water fasting his autoimmune disease resolved. This experience prompted a radical career change. Nathan became a Doctor of Chiropractic Medicine, and now assists others in healing chronic disease with diet and lifestyle interventions and fasting at Fasting Escape Retreat Center in Orange County, California.
