Hi Nathan,
I would try an enema first as that can reduce the pain quickly. Higher toxin levels in the colon can enter the lymphe and somehow and trigger pain at the lower spine.
But the kindneys are also affected by higher toxin loads. If the pain is higher up and 3 to 5 inches from the spine then you need to slow your detoxification rate of break the fast and do a series of short fasts.
Have you had any kidney problems in the past. For you it is better to have lots of sweet juices to slow the detox.
Old back injuries have a tendency to become painful during the fast due to healing.

Hey Tom,

I’ve been reading your site a lot lately and have a question that has been touched upon a few times. I am on my 4th day of juice/water fast. I had juice for the first 2 days and then water for the 3rd. End of the 3rd day I experienced extreme lower back pain. I feels more like its in my kidney region than my back. Slept only a few hours last night. I thought maybe it was a reaction to only water so I had some juice this morning but still about the same. Any ideas of how to get rid of it? It makes to very hard to sit for even a few min.

Thanks!

Hello,

I started a week ago a juice fast for 40 days! I have a dermatitis on my scalp. I like to know what fruit or vegetable could help to get rid of it knowing that I live in New Caledonia and there is not fresh spinach only frozen! Also, I don’t seam to loose weight! Thank you for any input!

Actually, I tried drinking less water, only when I’m real thirsty and that seemed to solve the problem. Thank you. Didn’t know that drinking more than the needed amount of water will actually dehydrate you.

Hi tate, Are you very over-weight? Are you taking any medications? Do you have any medical conditions? Are you just water fasting, or are you having juices too? Are you taking any supplements or vitamins? How much water in liters are you taking per day? Have you done any cleanses (salt water flush, enemas)? What is your goal in days?

I’m not sure what you mean by what I’m doing and what am I not doing? I’m doing this fast for detox and weightloss reasons and to maybe balance out my hormones. Currently I’m taking walks as for physical activity. I’m not sure if that was the kind of info needed or not?

Hello again tateyanah, I still don’t have much information from you. “”MAYBE”" you are taking too much water, which has a negative effect. It can dehyrate and reduce electrolites, that hold water in your body. But you have given us scant info to review. Ron

Hello. Well I stopped the previous fast. And am starting again. I’m on day 3 or my juice fasting and feel fine. Afterwards, I wanna do a week long, maybe more water fast. I did this before and for some reason, always have a dry mouth and really chapped lips during the water fast. I’m not taking any meds and before drank about 4 liters of water. I think I’m drinking more than enough water but it’s still not helping with the dry mouth and chapped lips. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi tateyanah, Are you taking any meds? How long have you been fasting? Give us some more info about what you are doing, or not doing? Thanks. Ron
