for me the water fast was a net positive. I know msot md's and naturopaths are against it but also 1) it's hard to make a buck off of it 2) they go in save my ass mode cuz it can be dangerous.
I got into electrolyte issues doing it on my own but relatively got through unscathed and got me huge bounds in recovery. It for sure is risky though and I was so desperate than that I actually was willing to die for recovery cuz I felt so shit. I have so much gratitude today from where I came from.
that's good that your penis is getting better bro lol hope your soldier is back to stand in full attention soon. I'm sure it will be. one thing I learned from this is how resilient our bodies are. feel like I came back from the dead at times.
