I did a water fast several years ago. It was the best fast I have ever done. I felt so good after 3 days that I did not want to come off of the fast. I had an enormous amount of energy and my skin completely cleared up. I felt better than I had in years. I have fallen off the wagon and after seeing this video, I think it is about time that I started doing this again. This will give me the jump start I need to get back to a healthy lifestyle.

That was truly a fascinating interview! I have to agree with everything Dr. Goldhamer said and will conduct some more research about his methods. I will give this post 10 out of 10 stars!! Excellent Post! Thanks

i’ve done many, many water fasts, and they have always been helpful and rather easy. the shortest was five days. the longest for purely spiritual reasons was seventeen days. but the longest water fast i ever did was a month and a half, because i had come into contact with hundreds of toxic little critter bugs in a cave i was staying in. i had been told it was a dead cave, but the critters sure found me, and fast. i pulled ticks off my toes in the morning, and many other things. it happened very fast, and i became extremely ill. thankfully, it hit me in exactly the right place, the home of a dear friend who knew and appreciated fasting. so i water fasted, which was the only thing i could even attempt to do (big pharma is worse than useless and toxic). i went to bed and barely moved except when necessary for the next month and a half, until i felt ready to eat again. that one was challenging, but quite effective. (i was down to 75 pounds by the end of it, and quite weak.) it was not my first fast by any means, so i was familiar with it, and i was not alone. and though i never felt i needed it, i did also have phone support from someone knowledgeable about fasting. i had already been vegan for many years, and ate as much raw and organic as was ever available, so i never really experienced much in the way of adverse reactions, except for the symptoms of the toxic critters, which eventually went away. most of my water fasts have been for mostly spiritual reasons, while also helping me cleanse my body. i think water fasting is really wonderful. i need to do another!

I have not tried water fasting since going high raw, but would love too. I am very thin and was told that due to my thinness, fasting is not recommended. Even when I go to the doctor for blood work, I always have to be retested after eating as it shows negative results. Any suggestions or similar experiences any one?

Years ago I did a 7-day water fast. On my no – no medical supervision. It wasn’t all that difficult in terms of “symptoms” of fasting or cleansing, but it was hard. I was told later that a water fast for that lenght of time can be unhealthy.

40 day water fast a few years ago. Interesting experience. Next time I’ll drink more water.. lol. I’m looking forward to doing some fasting over the summer months. It seems easier over the warmer months.

Hi Kevin

I did try a few years ago and I could not water fast with the headaches etc,.. Even going on Dr richard schulzes foundation program was hard enough.

Floride Question

I noticed that you have Tulsi Tea. Is this from India? I have read a lot of sites/info on the horrors of Floride and the bone damage.
Do you know how much floride is in tulsi tea?

I find it hard to get reliable info on this as I am trying to take as little as possible to try and reverse my bone condition.

((I was diagnosed with Oesteoporosis and was still horrifed a yr later when my bone density had not changed much, and my back was worse.))

Great show, great interview and great comments above. I tried to water fast once and had such a horrendous headache by late afternoon that I gave up and made a smoothie. I haven’t tried it again as I have believed I’m too toxic. I just started my conversion to a healthy lifestyle a year ago and, as livingandlearning said, I will also continue to try to get healthy enough to water fast; but, it is a long ways in the future. I’m very interested to hear the rest of the interview. Thanks, as always, for the great things you two do.

Having successfully water fasted for 12 days on my own without monitoring….I felt wonderful the entire time; my energy increased; my mind was clearer; strangely, my hair thickened up and I lost 18 pounds.

I will water fast again. In my experience on this water fast, and other shorter ones, day 2-3 were the toughest to get through, but after that, it was smooth sailing

I recommend Daniel fasting (fruits and veggies only) for 2 to 3 days prior to a water fast, this helps kick start the detox and lessens the likelihood of negative symptoms such as a severe headache, etc. during the first few days of the water fast.

The only negative symptom which I experienced on my longest water fast was slight dizziness during day 10 of that water fast after taking a hot shower.
