Re: starting water fast for 10 days tomorrow

#77446,
I realized that your post was not addressed to me in person, but when you or anyone else makes a post on a public forum such as this, then anyone has the right to reply to it.

If you search my posts on this forum spread over the last 3 to 4 years, then you will understand that I do not spread "fear" (as you put it) but sometimes address the need for caution; fasting is a Scientific process and not merely the abstention from food.

My input is based not only on my own experience after undergoing two protracted fasts of 25 and then 30 days in the recovery from Leukemia, but also based on the vast experience of Herbert M Shelton and other Qualified Hygienists, where I have spent the last 30+ years in the study of the Science of Fasting.

Your comment #77446 that................

"ppl here have come to the decision to fast based on valid self-assessment and self-knowledge and you have to respect that".

.................is largely incorrect, as members come here for advice from more knowledgeable fasters such as myself, as to how to conduct a fast and for how long they can do so, with little knowledge of the process prior to posting; if members knew enough about the fasting process and its benefits, then their posts would be pointless and unnecessary.

You are very observant, as this IS a support forum and this is what we are good at.
What concerned me was your original comment on "bingeing" which has implications and connotations of an eating disorder: this is NOT a support forum for people suffering from "anorexia nervosa" or "bulimia" or any other eating disorder and where professional help should be channelled elsewhere.
I noted that you evaded answering my question on your relationship with food.

There are repercussions to your type of behaviour and tone of post on this or any other forum, and where my original post in reply to your own was made in your own interests as sound experienced advice.

Please refrain from using the "tone" of language in your posts, as I found this to be quite insulting after trying to be of help to you.

This is your first and last warning against similar behaviour in the future.
