Re: Water Fasting Question (Health Concerns)
Thanks for the tips guys.
Is there any chance I could be doing myself harm here? I haven't been tested for hypoglycemia yet, if I were, going without carbs for extended periods of time can lead to coma or death (going to extremes here, not what's likely).
Short of buying a glucose tester which are expensive and really would be thrown out if I didn't need it, or waiting months for hypoglycemia testing (I live in canada, it sometimes takes 9-12 months to get special testing done).
The other problem I have is information based on another thread a fellow reader believes I may have mercury poisoning. Again, forcing a cleanse with this condition can lead to more harm then good.
I'm trying to find a way to safely fast (water or juice. etc.) that would allow me to establish if it's standard "toxic" symptoms or if I have a more severe underlying problem here.
Juice fast sounds like it would rule out hypoglycemia, but what type of diet/fasting could I do that would be cleansing but not dangerous if I did in fact have mercury poisoning?
Again, mercury poisoning isn't something my MD will test for me, I would have to use my own resources using online lab services etc.
