For healing: Water fasting cleanses the body aggressively removing toxins rapidly. Water fasting can be more beneficial in combating more persistent forms of cancer as it cleanses the tissues aggressively.

For weight-loss: If you are juice fasting, a few days on water occasionally will intensify the fast and assist with weight-loss if you have a slow metabolism.

Water fasting is not recommend for a first fast as toxins are released into the blood very quickly. This can be a problem if you are toxic and have never fasted before. The quicker your metabolism the harder it will be to water fast. If your metabolism is slow you will usually find water fasting easy, unless you are toxic.

Water Fasting Tips
Avoid water straight from the faucet. Distilled water is the best for cleansing because of its inherent, magnetic properties and ability to absorb and suspend large quantities of toxins, flushing them from the body. The perceived value of mineral water is misleading because
the inorganic minerals are like huge boulders to the cellular membranes, making them impossible to assimilate. Plants are able to break down the minerals from the soils, allowing them to be completely absorbable to the cells of the body. The best water is distilled, secondly, spring or filtered. A Brita Filtration System is inexpensive and effective,
but change the filter regularly.

There are no calories or nutritional value in water. In a water fast you have given your body no options but to turn to its Life Bank for fuel. This can create a problem when you have spent years depositing counterfeit fuel. Living exclusively on dirty fuel during a fast takes tremendous courage, strength and prayer. We recommend short water fasts in intervals, either while juice fasting or eating a raw-food diet. Basically, take as much pain as you can bear. It is the most efficient, yet difficult way of cleansing the body. It is not advisable to water fast under the conditions of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, schizophrenia or a chronic heart condition—but God rules over hyperglycemia, diabetes,
schizophrenia and chronic heart conditions. Hence, if you are called by the Holy Spirit to go on a water fast, in spite of how foolish it may seem to the world, we encourage you to be obedient.
