Water Fasting Anyone?

I feel that fasting is a great gift. Except it is a lonely experience especially if you need to rest a lot and you are fasting for more than a few days. I learned that fasting on water is the true fasting and that fasting without water is not safe. One should fast only if ideal emotional poise is there. The mind in very powerful and can prevent one from enjoying the full benefits of the fast. However, when life is a treat and fasting is going to save that person's life than there is no other choice but fast and the faster should overcome fear and find peace as the fast goes on.
A faster starts to detoxify immediately and if one is experiencing pain and he starts fasting than pain might vanish right away. In a recent fast as soon as I started fasting all of the back and kidney pain and cold symptoms ceased right away as I started fasting. I did eat after 2.5 days and symptoms reappeared again so I started fasting and symptoms vanished. The wonders of fasting.
