Ok due to your last comment about how I am ignorant I am thought should maybe back up my mouth.

Here is a website on dehydration. You will notice that pretty much every symptom that people complain about on a Water Fast and sometimes juice fast is on this list.click on the individual symptoms for more detail. the head rush one has more on dizzyness,lightheadedness for example.

http://www.symptomsofdehydration.com/

Fatigue,lightheadedness, dizzyness,dark urine, etc all can be scientifically explained by dehydration not by some mythical unproven detox explanation.If you don't believe in dehydration please dry fast for 30 days. I think you will become a believer.

It is one thing to believe in something,it is another to put your head in the sand like an ostrich.

Fasting I am sure has many benefits,possibly even can "detox" and eat up dying cells and cure some illnesses. But really you don't get weak and dizzy from detoxing. If that were true why would I have no problem for 20 days at all then all of sudden get it when dropped down on my water then have it go away almost instantly when rehyrdrated?And same for wife.She was not drinking water and barely any juice. She got dizzy and weak,she upped her fluid intake of juice and water and she was fine same day.Detox doesn't explain it.

SORRY BUT THINK YOU ARE WRONG ON THIS. And so is Shelton.
Thirst is a poor measure of when to drink and many that drink when thirsty will already be into dehyrdation and it dont' take much dehydration to cause these symptoms.Like 10%.Urine is good indictator of dehydration.Darker the more concentrated the more dehydrated.

So believe what you want. But when you don't drink enough water and pass out and possibly crack you head on the cement or something similar dont' say you weren't warned. Simply drinking a bit more water would likley have prevented both the weakness and dizzyness,black outs.

One last thing, Natural healers may have some good points on some things. But they have extremely stupid and dangerous ideas on healing many things that absolutely require proper modern medical care. You don't treat a heart attack with natural healing.You don't not take important immunizations because you think immunization is wrong and unnatural.I don't 100% trust in doctors or modern medicine,fact doctors can be very wrong on diagnosis and there are sometimes good alternative medicine treatments that may work as good or better than conventional ones. But you don't throw out all modern medicine and go back to living like we did million years ago.

One last thing there is not much evidence to show drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water or even bit more hurts anything and some to show it helps some conditions. Gout that I have if you don't drink sufficent water you will be quickly hit with kidney stones or gout attacks both of which are extremely painful conditions. Simply drinking 12 or more glasses of water can usually fix an attack in day or so.

Yes you can die from too much water intake but its a very high amount and happens very occasionally. Its much easier to die from dehydration. And if you don't take in enough water you body will use up critical bodywater stores just like when you don't eat it uses up fat stores when it has no food.How did Sheltons fasters lose like 3 pounds a day of bodyweight when its scientifically impossible to burn up 3 lbs a day unless you maybe weigh 1000 pounds?Yeah not a misprint at 3 lbs day is 10000 calories.Answer there were losing 2 lbs of water weight and 1lb of fat. Amazed more of his patients didn't die but at least he did let them drink when thirsty didn't try to dry fast them for 30 days.
I think some of you need to keep a more open mind. I try to keep an open mind on God,am more agnostic than atheist.Detox while not much hard evidence could exist you can't see air but it does exist.
I obviously think fasting can be beneficial fact think fasting is natural for humans as it isn't natural to eat 3 or 6 times a day obviously. And think fasting can fix several health conditions.

I just think that lots of you have turned Shelton into a divinity and supreme guru and have lost the ability to think for yourselves.But since once you start talking about detox and mystical benefits of fasting then of course it moves into the realm of personal opinion and belief.

Like the artifical sweetener debate. Most arguments against it are internet hype. And the artifical versus natural is not a good reason for anything. Many many "natural' subtances can kill very very quickly. Eat some rhubarb leaves, eat some death cap mushrooms just to name a few.Natural is not always better or safer. Artifical is not always better or safer.
