It's not about getting converts. That's the first problem here - that getting someone interested in a water fast as remedy to a disease is considered "cultish", some crazy conspiracy or religion. Seriously, have the pharmaceutical companies infected our minds this badly? That radiation seems normal and applauded as a great suggestion, but a water fast, simply the act of just resting and not eating.. is.. dangerous or some wild crazy tinfoil hat idea?

No, the first problem here is you are certain you have a cure. You will listen to nothing to the contrary. Anyone who has evidence or experience that contradicts yours is dismissed as not having fasted long enough. Your behavior is egomaniacal and casually callous. I have cystic fibrosis. I am getting well when doctors claim it cannot be done. I have been in your shoes in arguments. I am trying to give you the benefit of the doubt and be constructive. But, sorry I engaged. Carry on with your knowingly and intentionally trollish goal of getting converts to your totally not a cult.

  I have not seen or heard today of any evidence that says water fasting is either (a) harmful or (b) not useful. Do you have any sources? It is well known that fasts need to be from a few days to 40 days. I'm sure you've come across that 40-day number before if you're not entirely new to fasting.

    I am pretty new to fasting. I don't know of the evidence you are pressing me for. The request tells me you don't actually understand what I am saying. So maybe take some time to digest it and if you ever want to really talk, my contact info is easy to find.

  Also - why shouldn't I be certain that water fasting IS helpful and likely to cure many diseases? All the evidence I have and been exposed to shows precisely that. I'm not saying people should start it tomorrow. All I say is - research it, you will be introduced to an entirely different world of medicine. Yet you have no issue with people who have never even heard of this concept coming here and making definitive statements that this is all non-sense?
