Hello All, I am not completely new to the forum of water fasting. I have been undertaking water-fasting for a number of years. My longest water fast was 7 days. I was encouraged to break the 7 day fast (which I did) as the urine colour changed to a brown colour. I am overweight and have hypothyroidism. I take NDH (Naturally Dissected Hormone - metavite 111). I have to take NDH as my gene test (conducted by Qiyas) showed I could not effectively use synthetic Levothyroxine. I noticed that lugol's iodine has been mentioned for my condition it is something I know very little about and will do research on. However, I want to start the 10 day fast in the next couple of days and do not think its a good idea to change to much of my routines. I have a few questions. Firstly should I have carried on fasting regardless of the urine colour changing to brown as I felt okay? Secondly, colour change of urine was measured on a Keto stick, and it demonstrated that my body had gone into Ketosis. Is it good to be in Ketosis? Thirdly, I carried on taking my fish oil and NDH during the original 7 day fast, should one carry on taking medication/oils during water fasts? Fourthly, my intention is to undertake a 10 day water fast, is there any advice or signs I should look out for? Fifthly, how do I access the diaries of previous water fasters? is there a link? Thanks, U.K.

1. Firstly should I have carried on fasting regardless of the urine colour changing to brown as I felt okay.
Yes, Brown urine was a sign of toxins coming out through urine. I would look at past as an experience and not mull over too much.
2. Secondly, colour change of urine was measured on a Keto stick, and it demonstrated that my body had gone into Ketosis. Is it good to be in Ketosis?
Yes, Ketosis is good. This is one of the benefits of fasting. Your body runs on Ketones and not glucose. Body uses fat, scar tissue and other junk to manufacture what it needs, while affording it to cleanse it self. Most people when fasting will go in Ketosis in first two or three days.
3. Thirdly, I carried on taking my fish oil and NDH during the original 7 day fast, should one carry on taking medication/oils
No, this is called partial eating. You want to leave your body alone and let it heal itself. Nothing but water should go in your mouth.
4. Fourthly, my intention is to undertake a 10 day water fast, is there any advice or signs I should look out for?
A good goal. Simple rules should be followed. Drink filtered water as per thirst, preferably warm, not cold from the refrigerator. Rest plenty, no exercise or strenuous work. Stay warm. Break your fast with small amount of freshly squeezed organic orange, grapefruit or tomato juice. Build your appetite slowly, eat only when hungry.
5. Fifthly, how do I access the diaries of previous water fasters? is there a link? Thanks, U.K.
There are no diaries, but you can access previous posts. I suggest you read posts by Chrisb1, Fonty, Mouseclick, dessert lily and myself. You Can search the names in this forum, at the top search box and you will see all their messages.
You said you are overweight, fasting is no means of losing weight and keeping it off. You need to change how you eat. After you finish your fast and 10 days of eating raw fruits and vegetables only, you should do a liver flush. Also start taking Lugol’s solution everyday. You can find more on Iodine forums here at Curezone.
Good wishes.

This is a reply to # 2,406,345Thanks for this reply Archus.
I feel vindicated for believing I should have carried on fasting, after the urine turned brown on the 7th days. You mentioned that this happens to most people after 3 days. Does that then mean a) I didn't have as many toxins? b) or that there were plenty of toxins it was just much harder for my body bring it to a Ketogenic stage?
My intention for undertaking a 10 day Water Fast is to cleanse my body not necessarily to lose weight, although that perhaps would be a nice side effect. I realise I must change my dietary habits as I have only 4 copies of the AMY1 gene responsible for weight (according to Qiyas.me). I have been told you need 8 copies of AMY1 for optimal weight control. The reason I mentioned the weight is that I am convinced that larger fat stores must carry more contaminants.
Additionally, I am a little scared to come off my NDH-(for hypothyroidism) not concerned about the fish oils so much. Is there any adverse reaction during the fasting or after it, if you were to withdraw medication for an under-active thyroid (thing I should watch out for)?
Ideally, I'd like to get to a stage where I can Water Fast for longer and longer, have the hypothyroidism disappear, control the weight and become vegetarian. So I have a long way to go.
Thanks. U.K.

This is a reply to # 2,406,348You are most welcome. Don’t feel vindicated, you gained a lot from fasting for 7 days. The urine turning brown can happen at any stage in your fast. Your body works on different maladies with prioritizing what it needs to heal.
You should read Dr. Shelton’s book. There are many of my posts have a link to pdf of this book. Also I attended Dr. Furhman’s lecture a few times, he makes all his patients fast, but if they are on meds, he weans them off of meds first. You can easily heal your thyroid by eating right and taking Lugol’s with its co-supplements. When we take anything during a fast, your digestive system thinks food is coming in and nothing but partial foods come in, so it takes things from the your nutritive reserves that it needs, this leads to starvation. You want your body to eat fat and junk during a fast, that is why I always say no brushing with toothpaste, salt or anything in your mouth but water.
Your plan is good but upside down, you can be a vegetarian today, now, eat organic foods that heal your body and mind, then you can always fast easily because your nutritional reserves are built.
Also do a Liver Flush and you will improve all bodily functions including thyroid.
Best wishes,
Archus
