A water fast means you only take in water (and nothing else).I know someone who tried a water fast (via "breatharian" fasting), and lost his eyesight in the right side of one eye, due to retinal damage.
I don't have the full details, but a doctor told him that without water, the kidneys cannot perform the normal detoxification processes, leading to a toxic build up in the blood which destroyed his retina.

Roy what was your response to your 30 day fast? Were you ill with CFS/ME at the time?
