water fasting and my stupidity.
so i am a 26 year old male and i done a 24 day waterfast in april 2017.
my prep was 1 broccoli a day, patois peas, spinach, kale, all steamed with spices a big plateful of veg in a curry everyday for 5 weeks i did not educate my self or read any books just watched someone my age do a 28 day fast on youtube and thought if he can do it hes my age why not do it my self...
my problems also was gallstones, enlarged liver and spleen so not sure what 24 days of bile bulding up would of done i have done overdoses suffered from bulumia which caused my
Gallstones but i did do a gallbladder flush prior to the fast...
anyway day 7 i started having symptoms, i felt like i was going to pass out and on the verge of collapse and when i stepped out the bath it was hard trying to catch my breathe, my heart must of been beating 3 x a second so 160-185bpm getting out the bath, and when relaxing i could not really feel my pulse.
i added potassium only salt and drinking stock cubes, only a little bit on day 7 and increasing each day as i saw things started to ease off with the dizziness and heart but i still could not feel my pulse when adding the salt and potassium i was drinking 6-8 liters of water a day possibly more...
as the days went past the 7 i wanted to continue because my skin looked amazing so it must be part of the fast feeling like this, anyway i added potassium salt more and more i used to by the tablespoon load so i was probably having around 6000mg potassium in one soup x 3 at 3 grams of salt a stock x 3 salt so maybe 6 to 9g salt or more
by day 17 i added multivitamins which caused me ulcers by day 19 i woke up with froffy bloody salavia which could of been lungs or heart but i dismissed this problem i did not even think it was anything bad because sometimes i used to wake up with blood in mouth due to hard brushing the night before anyway after this happened i finished on day 24 the reason being i could not feel my pulse hardly anything and the burning sensation was like hot fire which turned out to be ulcers and blood test was very high cpr or crp...
after the fast if i got up my heart rate would go crazy as if it was an arrythmia and still get out of breathe i remember i was in a hotel and going to the toilet and this happened for a while.....
benefits skin looked absouloutly amazing must of been due to growth hormone
fixed my tmj tighter cheek muscles which in turn made me look very youthful...
downsides
abdominal distension enlarged spleen, enlarged liver alt high 100 plus going up to 500 which could of been a backflow of bile in the portal vein stuff i do not know much about but, it helped my neck muscles that was caused by tmj and i looked so much better
i have worked out and run and no chest pain.
still i do not know where to go from here i want to do another waterfast but need some advice?
thank you jason
