Re: Questions About My Current Grueling Water Fast! Help Please!
Fasting on just water while your adrenals are depleted isn't generally recommended. I tried it and went through the hell you're describing.
Detox pathways need to be working well and they don't necessarily open up just because we stop taking in food. If you have a detox issue (like a slow phase 1 or 2 liver pathway) or perhaps a deeper physiological detox error genetically like mutations in your methylation pathways, then fasting will stir-up toxins but they won't get eliminated as they should , and do, in most fasting people who talk of a 'high' after so many days.
No amount of fasting will fix a detox issue, that you may or may not have.
I learnt this through juice fasts, cleanses,
Water Fasts and gaining no benefit at all except feeling worse and losing weight i couldn't afford to lose.
See how you go but if you don't feel the high and continue to get worse, i personally would forget the fasting path and focus on improving liver clearance and methylation, transulfation pathways.
Just some ideas why you are struggling with this, as always we're all different. Follow your instincts :-)
