Re: chrisb1?
Hello nomoreMS,
we should bear in mind that in Sheltons day the food quality was much more nutritious than it is today, and where the nutrient reserves would be much more sustaining then, than now.
It is also very possible that anyone can fast to completion, or have their food reserves exhausted even if they appear to be of a normal or above normal weight with ample fat reserves still in place.
Fasting to completion is not an option if electrolytes are low and/or if sudden prostration or weakness/emaciation (although not a danger signal in itself) is accompanied by a sudden drop in blood pressure to abnormally low levels, AND difficult breathing in heart patients also accompanied by the above abnormally low BP.
Shelton referred to breaking a fast before the return of hunger as an "abomination" on the system, and where not all of the cleansing and healing had time to be completed, but only if the fast was broken incorrectly was he referring to the above; the breaking of a fast correctly/incorrectly would determine its success or otherwise.....return of hunger or not.
I have strong doubts about the safety of Nadias third long fast WITHOUT proper refeeding in between, AND with insufficient time to rebuild her reserves.
