Re: Water question

Let us keep in mind that Juice Fasting is not the same as Water fasting. The need to drink water while juice fasting or eating is bigger.

Any way, this question of "to drink or not to drink" can be solved by reading, and reading, and reading more the works of the known experts on the subject.

However, we have to consider our personal philosophy, which often gets in the way:

1)Are we to help the body to do its job? (Allopathic Medicine belief) This attitude is based on the assumption that the body needs our help to do its internal job.

OR

2) Are we to leave the body alone to do its job? (Natural Hygiene belief) This second attitude is based on the assumption that the body knows what to do better than us. Our help, in this case, to try not to bother IT (the body).


Water Fasting, obviously, belongs to the realm of Natural Hygiene. But sometimes we are so brainwashed by Allopathic Medicine, that we can't tell these different approaches apart.

These are both scientific disciplines with its own laws, very useful. They complement each other. For example: Orthodox medicine is what you want in an ER after a trauma, the result of a traffic accident, for example. It is also the best for Diagnostic purposes, etc. Not to good for treatment of most diseases (they admit to it by confessing they can only "manage" a disease, not "heal"it)

Any way, a person who does not understand nor believe in Natural Hygiene should not try Water Fasting. Why now? Because practicing WF with a conventional Medicine mindset can be dangerous. These disciplines, which complement each other, are based on very different premises.

Practicing WF as defined by most classic authorities is not being a Purist (nothing wrong with being or not being a purist any way)If one feels eclectic in this field, the results can be alarming.
