Does Prolonged Water Fasting Affect Human Frequency?

Water fasting has gained significant attention in recent years as a detoxification method, marketed for its potential health benefits such as weight loss, improved mental clarity, and purportedly a ldquo;frequency increase.rdquo; The concept of ldquo;frequencyrdquo; in this context often refers to a mystical or metaphysical state of heightened consciousness. However, what does scientific evidence actually tell us about the impact of prolonged water fasting on human frequency?

Scientific Evidence and Studies

Despite numerous claims about the benefits of water fasting, there is a distinct lack of robust scientific research specifically addressing its effects on human frequency. A recent study [1] did find that prolonged water fasting can lead to a decrease in frequency as it is related to the physical breakdown of various substances in the body. However, such claims often lack a solid foundation in empirical research.

Claimed Benefits and Skepticism

Proponents of water fasting often cite anecdotal evidence and personal experiences as proof of its benefits. Some claim that it can increase ldquo;frequency,rdquo; which they equate with a heightened state of consciousness. However, this concept is largely undefined and lacks a scientific basis.

Dr. Hyman, for instance, suggests that frequency is more closely related to the vibration level of one's consciousness, influenced by factors such as the Law of Attraction. His book, Paradigm Busters, expands on this idea, detailing a personal journey of releasing barriers to achieve a higher vibration of loving energy.

Health Considerations and Contradictions

It is important to note that the claim that water fasting can improve frequency is often contradicted by the risks associated with such practices. [2] Fasting can lead to negative health impacts, including constipation due to the breakdown of fats and toxins. Moreover, there is a significant risk of harming internal organs or even death in severe cases.

Dr. Hyman suggests that humans can go for prolonged periods without food but not without water. The body requires water to maintain vital functions. Fasting beyond a certain duration can be dangerous and may not be suitable for everyone, especially those with specific body types such as Vata (air).

It is crucial to approach such claims with a critical mindset and consider the risks and benefits carefully. Fasting can be part of a coherent spiritual practice when prescribed by a trained teacher but may not be right for everyone.

Conclusion

The claim that prolonged water fasting can increase human frequency is insufficiently supported by scientific evidence. While it may offer some benefits such as weight loss and improved mental clarity, the concept of frequency in the context of water fasting remains largely theoretical and metaphysical.
