" What I DO know is that fasting eliminates nearly all inflammation, and is much easier to follow than any diet."
You may know it, but it is a very personal opinion. Not accepted in biology.
"Perhaps a crippling level of this disease is not enough incentive for some people to fast, and I cannot deny that VERY few doctors know enough about fasting to recommend such a discipline."
John, what doctors know about fasting has nothing to do with why doctors don't generally recommend fasting for AS. Fasting is not a currently accepted medical treatment for AS.
Please John, you imply that those who don't fast are accepting a crippling level of their disease. That's not fair. It is your own idiosyncratic belief.
Fasting is not a safe thing for many people. This website bills itself as a great source of information. Please put a disclaimer on this.
Would you kindly put the disclaimer on the bottom of your post?
