OK, thank you, but that still does not change the fact that Water Fasting has been around for ever, and that Water Fasting was available to any one who wanted to do it with out furman. People have their own definitions of Water Fasting and I think that should be respected. I also think that their reasons to Water Fast should be taken seriously. If people could cure their weight problem with diet or exercise they wouldn't be showing up here for weight loss. Sincerely, Sandy.
