No. I live in the desert too (Arizona), and do two 8-day dry fasts every year and I'm still around, healthy as ever. Oh, and needing to drink any large amount of water is bad for you and a sign of your body not getting the right food. I go weeks without drinking water. But that's no surprise, my diet is 100% fruits and vegetables for the last 8 years. When your diet is nourishing there is no need for water. An alternative to water/dry fasting is organic grape fast, where you drink grape juice and/or eat grapes for 2-3 months.
