Re: watch out for the adrenals

water fasting can be a tremendous strain on the body and specially the adrenal glands!!

A.
This statement is of course complete nonsense.
Do you have any evidence of this strain on the body & the adrenals ? and if so, I think you should share it with everyone.


Water fasting should be done during a period of complete rest and stress free environment otherwise it can do more damage than good.

A.
The first part of this statement is something I would completely agree with, as Water Fasting is a period of Physiological rest. No one has ever suggested that a fast should be undertaken unless PROPERLY CONDUCTED ie...Physical and sensory rest, free from any emotional ties with the maximum amount of sleep; plenty of fresh air; judicious sunbathing; and water bathing.
Any risk of "damage" from fasting would only occur if the above is not strictly adhered to.


We live in an extremely toxic world, and Water Fasting can be a real stresser on the body.

A.
Fasting does not cause any stress on the body; it is the ONLY method employed by Nature for a physiological rest, internal cleansing and healing: despite our more polluted World; the more toxic a person is, and the more severe the symptoms ....the more need for the fast in the first instance.

Most Water Fasting books were written at a time where the toxins were much less than right now. Please prepare for your fast and do it at a time when you can completely rest.

A.
Yes. I would agree with this statement.
