Yeah I wasn't terribly clear :) My argument is just FOR getting a check-up, not against doing IF. Especially if you're practising it long-term, you want to make sure that it isn't something that's uniquely harmful to you.
To go back to the original comment, it's probably less about 'talking' to your doctor literally; sure there's nothing they can say about IF that you can't find out yourself, but they can get you blood tests and perform the right physical tests to make sure you're suitably healthy to do IF correctly without harming yourself.
