Re: End of day 6 Water Fast: feeling very tired

Congratulations on the 6 days! That is great! It would be difficult for me to work and do a long term fast at the same time. The more you can rest the better. I know you are aware of that.

I would not recommend taking vitamins or Iodine while water fasting. I think High on Water painted with iodine; I don't believe she took it orally.

Dr. Herbert Shelton states in his book " Fasting Can Save Your Life " "There is a great difference between a poisoned fast and an unpoisoned one....Likewise, dosing the faster with liberal quantities of synthetic vitamins and drug-store minerals ruinously affects the whole experiment."

Dr. Joel Fuhrman states in his book " Fasting and Eating for Health" "Vitamins are not generally required because within the body's cells are adequate reserves of protein, fat, minerals, and vitamins that can be called upon during periods of famine, food scarcity, or fasting. Even in prolonged fasts, (those lasting from 20 to 40 days) no deficiency diseases develop. Illustrating that the body has the innate ability to utilize its stored reserves in a highly exacting and balanced manner.

Both of these doctors recommend water only while doing a water fast.

I have taken Iodine and I would highly recommend that you check out the Iodine forum, however, I would not take any until after you are finished with your fast.

Wishing You Great Success and Happy Fasting!!
