Re: question (edit)
Of course no one here is medically or health-qualified on this forum to offer advice on water fasting, but fortunately we do have members that have a lot of experience and knowledge with this method of health care/recovery.
I think it is in the interests of everyone (especially those offering advice) after all this is a support forum for fasters, to know as much as possible about the person requesting advice, as in this way we can offer the most accurate and relevant advice peculiar to their situation.
We are also not in the business in being able to offer a "diagnosis" of anyones health condition, because this is only within the realm of someone who is able to do so, and where allopathic medicine is in a much better and stronger position to do so; the potential faster should be informed of this as a prerequisite with any health condition before undertaking a fast of any length.
I can understand completely how Steve is reticent to offer any advice for someone who is suspected of deliberately concealing a health condition, and where I think he is fully justified in seeking further more comprehensive information before doing so.
