Re: nkm83...Re: Please help with my brother's very complex and chronic gut illness.

nkm83,
44Kg is probably a very low BMI, but even people who are considered to be grossly underweight have been known to fast safely and with distinct benefit for up to 20 to 25 days, when from the outset it appeared only a few days would have been considered a safe margin.

I would also ask the question as to WHY he has lost weight, and where the answer lies in his body being unable to digest or utilize food very easily or at all, (for one reason or another) as opposed to someone who eats very little and still gains weight quite easily.
I am sorry to say that even though he continues to eat (and however little) he will most likely continue in losing weight. This is a serious issue that needs to be resolved as soon as possible.

Where IS the exact location of the pain he is experiencing?

If as you say it could be related to Liver/gallbladder issues, then the fast will not only cleanse these two organs but also repair their vital functions. Even Gallstones are known to be dissolved on a water-only fast.

If I were in your brothers shoes I would strongly consider a consultation with a Qualified Natural Hygienic Practitioner, who is experienced with the fast and the fasting process, and other physiological remedies based on natural law, as a matter of priority.
