"Universal reactor" starting "deep" Urine Fast

Hello, UT-ers,

I am hoping to do a urine/water fast that will go pretty deeply into fasting mode - I hope to do at least three weeks. Last Tuesday (the 21st Dec.) I broke a 15-day water fast; however, on Days 9, 10, and 11 of that, in despair because water alone was having "no effect" on any of my tormenting symptoms, I did take some urine, so it is not either a proper urine fast or a proper water-only fast! The urine did not seem to be helping, either, so I finished up with a few days of water-only again.

I ate lightly the days that I ate - however, I did have some cooked grains and potatoes. I am forced to fast again, because I get extremely severe reactions to every I ingest. In fact, during the "water fast", I still got day-long, night-long symptoms from the distilled water I drank (I even tried distilling it three times, but it made no difference) - I get severe asthma, seizures, stomach pain, head pain, paralysis and numbness, itchy hives, welts and rashes all over, and insane urinary frequency or results-less urinary urgency!, as well as many other symptoms, simply from a sip of water - or urine - let alone supplements of any kind or juices/liquids/foods.

Today I have had a trickle of urine and some distilled water and already have had severe itchy anaphylactoid swelling of throat and chin from the water and horrific seizures. This is what my usual life is like. I have a slight hope that if I went deep into a fast - anyway, deeper than the 15 days I just did - something, something of this, might get better. I really have no choice. My parents have dragged me to an array of doctors and everybody denies having ever come across this. I suspect it has something to do with infectious diseases like Lyme and Bartonella, for which I blood-test positive, and/or heavy metals/candida, but specialists in these areas also have not heard of my problem and I do not seem to react to treatments for these complaints (either in a die-off/Herx-ing way or in an "improvement of symptoms" way).

Things are indeed desperate. If I do not figure out how to get rid of this hyper-reactivity to everything I ingest, I will surely die, because I can't stand the constant agony and torment any longer - those seizures, for instance, and the itchy hives and welts that break out all over my body at the merest sip of anything - a single drop of anything. Plus there is a very frightening seizures-in-my-sleep disorder....I am always amazed when I wake up alive after them.

I am sure that there are nutrients I should be giving a good long try (like certain minerals and essential fatty acids), but I just can't, I can't. I may be doing harm, fasting so much.

Nevertheless, I am off on another fast today. Maybe the course of this will run differently because I will be doing UT on it from the start, but I really doubt it. I think it will be three weeks (or more) of the usual extreme pain of my usual hellish life, punctuated perhaps by moments of fasting exhaustion or fasting-derived high-pulse-rate. This happened a few times on my recent water fast. I did not detox per se, not that I could notice, but there were periods of great exhaustion and weakness (I expect that to be somewhat different on a urine fast) and times when my pulse was racing quite fast. I took my blood pressure every day with a monitor that showed whether my heartbeat was regular or irregular. It always showed on the monitor as "regular", which was a psychological comfort when I was worried about my heart on a fast. I did not have any signs during that Water Fast of low blood Sugar or electrolyte imbalance, so that will probably be okay on a urine fast too, like this present one.

I did not have a bowel movement the whole time I was fasting, and I expect that to be different on this urine fast as well.

What I don't expect is any alleviation of my symptoms the whole fast long. I expect another long haul of feeling exhausted and "like not doing anything" and rather fragile in terms of "safety" and all the time fighting the hell of the symptoms whenever I drink water or urine - I often had to urinate every 5 secongs or so - every 30 seconds at most - during the Water Fast - that is usual for me when I am not fasting as well, and I expect that not to get better during this fast either, so that's very exhausting to have to urinate many times every minute when you are weak and tired during a fast.

I can stay home and rest, but I have to look after my own cats who are also sick, and I have stupidly taken on a foster family of mommy and surrogate kittens because they were about to be killed at a kill shleter. I hope they don't need much from me and are pretty "autonomous", self-sufficient, as long as I manage to plop food and water down for the surrogate mommy. It's diiificult enough just looking after us!

Anyway, if you are interested academically in the question of whether UF might be effective in a case where a 15-day WF was not remotely efficacious in any way; or if you want to do a long-ish UF of your own and to have company, or if you are interested in the idea of UF but need to read more real people's real experiences with it (there is still an amazing dearth of real report on the subject of the UF experience, and, no, I do NOT count Armstrong as evidence; it could all have been made up and I wouldn't advise anyone to fast on urine just on the strength of that one person's one book), I will try to send out dispatches during the fast if I think I need help or might be able to be informative or supportive for other UF pioneers. During the "water fast", I did not often feel like being online, so did not weblog much on the fast, particularly since nothing hopeful, helpful, or interesting was happening.

Let's all hope something of real note happens - it'll be a whammy of a testimonial or UT or at least UF - but...I am very, very doubtful that anything good will happen. However, as a UF from the start, there is that difference between this fast and the "water fast" I just did; also 15 days is not really considered long enough, so hopefully I will be able to make this more of an "extended fasting" trial, a deeper fasting experience of 21-30 days. But I do have some anxieties about going that long; I'm just anxious about it. In a sense I'm more anxious than I would be about doing a Water Fast that long; although one does get nutrition of a kind on a urine fast, there just is not the precedent there is with water fasting. If you go on Curezone Water Fasting forum, or other sites' fasting forums, you will indeed find real people dong well on true long fasts; pleny of support and proof that other people have done it and are doing it or have just done it. It is NOT like that at all with urine fasting. And because I suspect heavy metal toxicity, and because I know I have very acidic-pH urine, I have special fears about this urine fast. If I could do anything else, I would!!
