The last time I fasted was the summer of 2005. I guess it cleaned out my system pretty good cause I didn't start feeling bad again till 2008.
Before that I fasted 7 days (actually starting when the second Iraq war started) in 2003. I had been in the hospital a few months and they had forced me to take antipsychotics. They were convinced I was mentally ill. At least they believed my wife when she said I needed a gluten free diet. So, anyway, I was trying to clean out all the drugs they shot me with against my will while I was in the mental war. That lasted me till 2005 when I fasted again.
Before that was my long 30 fast in 1996. I read a book called fasting and eating to conquor disease. Medical doctors are oriented to major things like heart attacks. They aren't so oriented to what health is. So the doctor was dismissive of my complaints of over all ill health. Then I started the fast and upset him a little but he humored me and sent me for blood tests and was surprized I was turned new like a baby. I fast with water only. If I had did apple juice I would probably have ended up in the hospital.
Before that I had done some one or two or three day fasts. But the real cleansing comes around week one or two depending on how toxic you are.
I had a horrible smell (probably full of undigested fructose or mercury) BM around day 14. After that my hair went from dead to alive. After that all the little nagging things went away that the doctor just chalked up to getting close to 30.
The book says you should be fine as long as you get your blood tested and don't stand up to fast and feint.
Even with the warning I did get dizzy and fient twice, but I wasn't so out of it that I couldn't half way catch my self.
