Water Fasting and Medication

Water Fasting: What if I am on Medication?
Medication relates to water fasting in two categories: (1) Medications that are critical and cannot be safely stopped, and (2) medications that are optional and easily removed without severe or dangerous potential repercussions.
I am not a doctor. Its generally safer to navigate this area with the help of a trusted health care professional for obvious reasons. I recommend the team at True North Health in Santa Rosa California.
Medications that cannot be safely stopped are a contraindication for water fasting. Juicing, time-restricted feeding, intermittent fasting, SOS free vegan, rawfood, etc are all alternatives for someone who wishes to improve their health yet is unable to give up some meds - and therefor cannot safely engage in a water-only fast.
These alternatives may end up forming a "stepping stone" towards one day being able to be med-free and water fast safely. Again, a trusted health care professional is well advised :)
