Hi Chippers, i just made a post in the Water only Fasting Support forum and then i saw your post here. Some of the post i had just made is at least tangentially related to some of the questions you had asked and the link is here: https://www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=2436617#i . I’m not sure if you are still around 16 months later to even see this, but if you let me know you are here and that you remain interested in receiving a response, i will do my best to provide my thoughts on each point and/or question you posited.   [End]

In my humble opinion and also as backed by research and personal experience, you can definitely lose weight utilizing water-only fasting as a tool. More importantly and more specifically you can lose fat. In addition to being able to burn fat as the primary fuel source throughout a water-only fast, there will almost certainly be a fairly significant amount of temporary water and intestinal content loss, most or all of which will be added back to the individual’s weight within 1-3 days of ending the fast at which point the weight will relatively stabilize.

Outstandingly informative video for sure and so concisely and eloquently presented. As Archus stated, amidst the amazing info of what is going on within the body i question whether it is wise to add any supplements and myself i would prefer not doing so. Also to address something else Archus mentioned, i believe Dr. Berg stated that Autophagy begins at 18 hours, not ketosis. I don’t recall him saying anything about when ketosis kicks in. In any case i agree with Archus that Ketosis would likely kick in for most people at about 48 or 72 hours.   [End]

Part of what this system has done is to train its followers to look upon the bible as being "the word of God", "the word of the Lord", "the word of YHWH", "God’s word" etc, when even the bible itself is not referring to itself when it uses these expressions... and rather it was always referring to God’s living voice and/or the Holy Spirit of the Living God.

Excellent answer and i agree.

This is amazingly encouraging whether you believe Katt has been to Heaven or not. I have 3 personal friends (two are very close friends) who also express having been caught up, just as was John the apostle and revelator. I pray the Lord will bless me in the same way, but i am still eagerly waiting while thoroughly enjoying all of His other many blessings :). iframe width=”560” height=”315” src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/wr3BebbnvvM?list=PLBg3XJMdBFwMSP3auR [Video Embedded Here]   [End]
