Ok,
First question.
Are you retaining enough or any water at all as there is a distinct possibility of dehydration. However, the body can withstand not having water for up to 10 days or more and this is known as "dry fasting" so I do not think that dehydration will be an issue.
Fasters drink but little on a Water Fast and much of their water is provided by adipose tissue from the breakdown of fat stores during ketosis.

Second question.
Over what exact period of time have you been vomiting? Is it only for a few hours each day and over how many days now?

Only God could break a fast during the period of a vomiting crisis without the risk of serious injury and inviting complications and even death if an attempt is made to do so.

Again this is Shelton, Carringtons and Dr Deweys experience................

"Mr. B, who underwent a 31 days fast in my institution in 1932-33, began vomiting on the 23rd day of his fast and vomited day and night for 7 days, or through the 29th day of fasting. Large quantities of mucus and bile were brought up. He was very weak while vomiting, but became strong again as soon as the vomiting ceased. This, however, is the usual experience.

Efforts to break a fast while the patient is vomiting are futile, even harmful. "Only God could break a fast," wrote Dr. Dewey, in a personal letter to Hereward Carrington, dated March 26, 1903, "where there is a sick stomach and there is no time to let nature perform the task. Taking food in such a stomach would be death-dealing. There is nothing to do but make the body and mind as comfortable as possible, and Nature will cure, if the seal of death is not set."

Speaking of the occurrence of vomiting during a fast, Mr. Macfadden says: "It is certainly inadvisable to break a fast at such a time. If food be administered at such a time, it most certainly will be ejected, and it may aggravate the vomiting all the more." Dr. Dewey records a case in which vomiting began after fasting fifty days. Food was tried, but promptly ejected. There was nothing to do but wait, with the result that one day after the last vomiting spell, there was a natural call for food--and this on the sixtieth day of the fast".
*****************************************

Do not break the fast. The vomiting and nausea will cease in its own good time. Listen to your body it is your only and ideal guide.

IMPORTANT.........
You MUST REST AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE and I mean BED-REST.
No physical activity of any kind.
Monitor your pulse and take the readings hourly and ideally your Blood pressure as well.

Nature will take its course and the outcome will be as desired.
Have faith.

Keep me informed at least twice a day and let me know the above readings of BP and pulse.

Chrisb1.
