Alright, now you're going to make me cry! Thank you for the kind words. :)

Cherryrain, can I have your e-mail address again? I'm curious about how things are going and what medical problems you're facing. I hear you speak about the whites of your eyes being like snow and I've wondered where you've heard that this happens during juice fasting. This is something new to me.

Fasting is a wonderful time to draw nearer to God. All throughout the Bible there are stories where God asks His people to fast during times of crisis and tribulation. Sometimes the answers come quickly, sometimes they take years. Like the woman who fasted for 18 years due to a constant "cycle". There was a reason it took long for her and only God knew it. Whatever reason you have for fasting, God will honor and answer. Sometimes, the answer is not what we expected. Sometimes, it's God showing us areas that we need to grow in.

This time will benefit you. Stay close to God. :) Make sure you're listening to Him and your body as to when this fast is done.

PS Where are you from cherryrain?

Yeah, you don't normally experience the thinning during a 30 day fast. I remember the first time it happen to me. I actually thought it was the shampoo I was using because I had just switched shampoos. I called the company, sent back the shampoo and got my money back! But I kept losing hair.

So, then I went on a wild search for any information I could find on why I might be losing hair. Then, I came across it in one of my juice fasting resources, that long term fasts (over 40 days) could and most likely will lead to hair loss/thinning. It had to do with the lack of protein or oil intake. I'll have to look through my books and see where I found that info.

Sure enough after I stopped fasting my hair started to grow back, full force. I had new hair amongst all my older long hair. It was crazy. It was nice too because years before I had almost melted my hair off, experimenting with professional dye. I think I had actually destroyed hair folicles because my hair never grew back normal, until after this fast. Now, I have a healthy, strong head of hair, even with me dye/weaving it every 4 months.

My hair has started, in the last couple of weeks, to thin again. It's scary but at least I know what's going on.

Oh, and I remember reading that if you're concerned about the hair loss that you should stop fasting for a week or two and start over again. This will help stop or slow the thinning process.
