And lost hair. I promised Wombat on the VWT forum that I would post again here for those who wish to look back on some posts of mine. Read the whole thread, and you'll know what I mean. All you have to do is click on my name, and look to the right to check for the small words in dark grey to look for fasting/water only forum posts. It was a scary time for me, and I don't really want to "go back there" - but they ARE there for anyone who desires to check back. God bless you all. And may caution still be your guide.

This is a reply to # 1,125,976hello HoW!
i have actually already read many of your posts across curezone because i have also experienced drastic hair loss after fasting - more than half my hair. i have that regrowth-mohawk thing going on too! it been pretty distressing.
i have absolutely no doubt that i have vitamin and mineral deficiencies, despite having a very good clean diet (i am actually one of those people who truly thinks a brocolli and cucumber juice is a kick-arse meal!). however, my problem stems from chronic toxemia and i have acute systemic imbalances, so my body's ability to absorb nutrients (or supplementation) is severely impaired. i have had hair analysis done before, as well as applied kinesiology muscle-testing, both of which have indicated magnesium and potassium imbalances. however, taking specialised supplements has not proven to be beneficial to my condition, nor have they corrected those imbalances.
fasting so far has gone a long way towards ameliorating many of my underlying symptoms, where no other treatment protocol or healing modality has been able to.
i totally agree with you about exercising caution. i have made an appointment this week with a renowned natural hygienist/fasting doctor in sydney. i am planning to fast again, this time through to completion, but want to get some experienced advice before i do so. hair loss and recurrent periods (i get my period again 5-7 days into my fast) are some of the issues i will be discussing with him. i really, really, really don't want to lose any more hair!!
i will post again on this forum after my consultation.
thanks for posting/re-posting your experiences HoW - and i am REALLY pleased that your hair is growing back!

This is a reply to # 1,126,105In one of your posts you said that you were 'mega dosing' on Iodine and became hypothyroid and your hair started falling out, do you think this was the main reason?

This is a reply to # 1,126,105I didn't take megadoses while fasting, but you ask a valid question.
I honestly don't know - I'm just trying to cover all bases here and give fair warning. I still believe in fasting!
I just want people to be aware that there IS a stopping point.
Be well, and well educated before starting anything.- Re: I had fasted too long bling

I took 50mg Iodine for 4 months last year, iodoral tabs and then lugols. I also have hypo, but before i started the iodine, i did not have vitiligo, which developed whilst on the iodine.
I have not touched Iodine since, and on hair mineral test, my boron was non existant, where it was alright before, and found out Iodine can purge this from the body. Boron is needed for pigmentation. I took Boron tabs for awhile, but still have white dots, no large patches.
I personally think taking large doses of anything is wrong, as it is bound to unbalance other minerals, causing other problems, in my case Vitiligo.
I have not heard of iodine causing hypo though. Your hair could be falling out due to mineral inbalance due to taking iodine. You say you weren't taking megadoses, but maybe you were still taking to much
Vit E is good for hair, a few years ago i noticed loads of hair in sink everytime i combed, and i have very thick hair, i read about vit e, and after taking that for awhile it stopped the hair loss.- I'm presently taking 50mg of iodine ... High on Water

This is a reply to # 1,126,175I'm presently taking 50mg of Iodine daily!
My alternative doctor said my potassium and magnesium levels were low, and low potassium was "most likely causing the hair loss".
As you can see from the picture, megadoses of Iodine does not "continue" to be the problem - IF it ever was....- Re: I'm presently taking 50mg of iod... bling

Scary!
I suppose that is why fasts should in a ideal world be supervised. I don't think i will go longer than 2 weeks at a time. If i want to do a longer one, i think i will go to a fasting retreat, don't know how much it costs though. They don't have to feed you, money for old rope lol.
I already plan to take my bp couple times a day, temp i do anyway.
I was reading that if you vomit and have diarroah, and it gets very bad, where you can't take water, you just vomit the water back up, you may be unable to break the fast, and have to go on a drip.
I've heard quite a few people say on this forum, they have vommitted, but i will not ignore this if it carried on. Doing a fast on your own, you have to be cautious don't you, as you have found out to your own cost.
I've also read, that some people are lacking in a certain enzyme, and are unable to go into ketosis, and sometimes they are aware of this for the first time when they do a fast. And this is dangerous for them. So we must not be to complacent, and say everything is due to detox etc, and be aware of the risks involved.- Re: 32 days Fonty

This is a reply to # 1,126,368I think you're getting too scared off because of a fair warning. High on Water has admitted she went past the point where she was actually given a sign to end the fast. So I would suggest she is warning us not to ignore the signs, rather than to avoid the fast altogether which she still says is a great thing. Longer fasts are very beneficial, no matter that some books and fasting doctors say they aren't. The greatest achievements I've read about through fasting have all come from extended- if not completed- fasts.
Go to a retreat if you can, be supervised. But don't become afraid of the fast! We learn more and more about our bodies each time we do fast, we become in effect our own doctors. That doesn't mean complacency- far from it! It gives us great responsibility!
Most people know by now that I dry fast and most would consider biofeedback even more urgent while water fasting, and rightly so- the body can last for longer without food than without water. But the rules for me are no different dry fasting to water fasting. ALWAYS err on the side of caution. I have ended more Water Fasts for safety reasons than dry fasts. My first 30 day fast was preceded by a 10 day fast which I broke because I thought I was hungry. The detox symptoms I got immediately after breaking the fast- correctly- proved me wrong. So I recovered for a time and then embarked on my 30 day fast, which I again ended when I felt hungry. I have also ended fasts because of ennervation and stress, but never fear. Fear is only justified if you are going to ignore any symptoms that should not be ignored. Learn to know your body, how it is while fasting and while not fasting, and if something is going wrong you will certainly feel it- then you just need to be prepared to act accordingly.
Andrew.- Thank you, Andrew High on Water

Thank you my good man.
Yes indeed.
Fasting is a wonderful tool.
But get educated, and be supervised if need be.
Blessings to you

This is a reply to # 1,126,743high on water,
i was reading one of your old posts from Iodine supplementation where you said that you were losing your hair whilst mega dosing on iodine.
i was just wondering if this was before or after the time where you were fasting and losing your hair.
I just wanted to know as im using Iodine at the moment too.
Thank you.

This is a reply to # 1,125,976The hair loss could be evidence of hormonal shifts. After women have babies, their hair often thins out and then comes back.
I wouldn't take the hair loss as a sign of too much fasting. That doesn't make sense. If hunger had not yet returned, you hadn't gone too far.- Re: I had fasted too long High on Water

This is a reply to # 1,126,511You titled this post "I fasted too long" and your first sentence was "I lost hair".
If you began refeeding as soon as hunger returned, then you didn't fast too long.
I think it's well established that hair loss can occur during a long fast, but you seem to link the idea that you fasted too long with hair loss even though it sounds if you began refeeding at the correct time and the hair loss was a byproduct of normal healing.
Anyways, if the hair comes back better than before, maybe you can redact this post.- Re: I had fasted too long Fonty

This is a reply to # 1,126,528She admits to going beyond the point of hunger returning golthing, that's what the warning is about- not to ignore any sign to end a fast.
