detox and fasting

I've been through this battle before with others over this topic on numerous occasions. I do water fasts for 3 days every 1 - 2 months to purify myself and I have even been given the green light from my nutritionist AND my doctor to do this. Since then, my blood pressure has dropped immensely, and I find I sleep better, digest food better, and just overall feel like new. When I do my water fast I drink nothing but water for those 3 days and ease back into eating RAW foods like fruit & veggies, or it can make you very sick afterwards going back into just eating how you were before you did the fast. I took 2 daily multivitamins, and i take green tea, apple cider vinegar, and b12&b6 supplements. If you really feel like you need a change, try infusing your water with frozen fruit gives you a nice fresh taste Happy Detoxing!

I don't bully anyone. I sit on their heads until they calm down and accept I'm right. Or stop breathing. Then I give them CPR and they owe me like forever.
I think OP deserves a rap.

Got sludge in my colon,
It's makin me wack,
Wanna shoot salt up my *kitten*,
Nature finna put me back on track,
These hoes on MFP diss my salt,
I'll pop a cap, get charged with assault,
So tired of these chomos who hate on my detox,
Hex these mofos and hope they get the pox,
I'm too thug for advice, dat shiz is fo chumps,
Now let me put in my enema, pump, pump pump!

For the love of god STOP DOING THIS RIGHT NOW. This is NOT safe.

"If you're consuming seawater, the results of osmosis are spectacularly disastrous. Remember the salinity of seawater is almost four times that of our bodily fluids. If gone unchecked, the net transfer of water from the inside of your cells to the outside will cause the cells to shrink considerably -- and shrinkage is never good.

Unless you drink a lot of freshwater, the body's regulatory mechanism in this situation is potentially fatal. With seawater, the change in sodium concentration outside our cells is the main culprit. In order to regain an isotonic state, a must for cell survival, the body attempts to eliminate the excess sodium from its extracellular fluids. It secretes urine. However, human kidneys can only produce urine that's slightly less salty than saltwater. So, in order to remove the extreme amount of sodium taken in by saltwater, we urinate more water than we actually drank. And dehydration sets in.

So, if you're guzzling seawater, you actually aren't taking in any water but are incurring a net loss, leading to depleted body fluids, muscle cramps, dry mouth, and yes, thirst.

The body tries to compensate for fluid loss by increasing the heart rate and constricting blood vessels to maintain blood pressure and flow to vital organs. You're also most likely to feel nausea, weakness and even delirium. As you become more dehydrated, the coping mechanism fails. If you still don't drink any water to reverse the effects of excess sodium, the brain and other organs receive less blood, leading to coma, organ failure and eventually death."

I did a medically supervised 10 day detox through a major hospital in my town. The detox was this:

3 vegan protein shakes a day, 3 spaced scoops of psyillium (a fiber supplement which is the major ingredient in Metamucil) and all the steamed veggies I wanted. I also drank detox tea (you can get it at Whole Foods or most healthfood stores.)

The first 3 days were tough, but by the 5th day I started to feel incredible..I had terrific energy, I slept like a log. This was 4 months ago and that detox got me off of artifical sweetners, white flour and sugar. It also taught me to eat veggies and I eat l lb of veggies a day now.
sounds to me as if you are doing a self-designed detox.

It sounds to me as if you designed this detox yourself and you might be doing your body more harm than good.

Which hospital? Because any hospital full of medical professionals who think this is necessary is not a hospital I want to ever go to for treatment.
