"An inappropriate fast forces your liver to release too many toxins at once. When the toxins flood the bloodstream, the kidneys and bowel can still only eliminate a small portion at a time. The rest floats around in the bloodstream.
This sudden barrage of poison in the bloodstream causes two kinds of problems. First, the toxins can wreak havoc on your pancreas, spleen, nervous system, brain and heart. Second, the spillover puts your liver in a state of alarm, so the organ works on overdrive trying to gather up and seal in the toxins once more. It’s exhausting to your liver, which makes it harder for it to heal later and potentially more reluctant to release toxins in the future. After all, like the child who was pushed off the diving board and now fears jumping off, the liver that was pushed might hold tighter to the toxins in the future (which means the liver itself becomes increasingly toxic).
When Not to Fast
One important thing to know about fasting is that doing it right takes preparation. If your liver is really toxic, it’s not the time to do a fast. If you’ve been eating a standard American diet, a lot of animal products, or a high fat, high protein diet, or if you haven’t been eating many fruits and vegetables, it’s not a good idea to do a fast. Even if you’ve been eating a clean diet for a long time but you’ve inherited poisons or been exposed to a lot of chemicals or pathogens, it’s also best to not jump into a fast right away.
[...]
In all of these cases, instead of doing something intense like a fast, you’re much better off making continual, gradual changes. This way, your liver can safely and continually flush out toxins. With time, you’ll clean things up to the point where you’re ready to consider a fast." - https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/truth-about-fasting
people want quick solutions. they want to eat poorly and then turn to a quick solution to make things up, but it usually just causes more harm, whether it's a counterproductive fast or turning to toxic pharmaceuticals for health issues, etc.

if you don't get glucose for an extended period of time, you die. there have been studies on carb restriction where people literally died. the same way governments and many sectors of society are corrupt, so too is the health sector. there is an incredible amount of harmful misinformation. for example, the recommendation for high-protein, high-fat diets.
why bodybuilders, who are supposed to be peak physical fitness, get heart attacks so young: "All that fat intake [high-fat is synonymous with high-protein] leads to higher fat content in the blood, which leads to a lack of oxygen in the blood. Over time, diminished oxygen levels getting to the heart and brain contributes to problems like strokes and heart attacks. Too much fat in the bloodstream also triggers the adrenal glands to shoot off adrenaline as it tries to clean up your blood to protect you." - https://www.medicalmedium.com/blog/truth...genic-diet
