The Miraculous Power of Fasting

Whatever your urologist told you doesn't mean cranberry juice causes internal stones.
....

When an expert in the exact field tells me something, I tend to believe him over someone who is not anything like an expert in the field. Again, you are more than free to believe what you will. I'm really not bothered.

....

You don't drink enough water, do you? ...

I drink tons and tons (and tons) of water.

Apparently you are bothered.

I've never had stones, and cranberry juice doesn't cause stones. And I doubt your expert told you they did.

It's more likely he told YOU to lay off everything but water. Right?

You don't just drink it. You eat it, breathe it, you think it, you dream about it.

You are water.

...

I'm really, really not.

...

I have and he did. And for some reason this seems very important to you. Since he was the guy who cut me open and yanked a couple of them out of my kidney, he earned my trust in his professional knowledge.

You are water.

Thanks Bruce.

 

[Oily Dragon]

I'm really, really not.

Uh, yeah, you are.

You're the one with the stones, dude.

It's OK to say it hurts. You know it does.

....

So I've been told...

 

[Unkogami]

....

It's OK to say it hurts. You know it does.

I do know it does. You have no idea.

 

[Unkogami]

Thanks Bruce.

The need for water permeates this entire thread, doesn't it!

 

[Gerry Seymour]

Clearly it does not, because here I am.

Yes, and I don't believe your claim.

I suspect you misheard your urologist.

 

[Unkogami]

Believe what you want. Doesn't change anything.

 

[Unkogami]

I am sure I didn't. Again, you are more than welcome to disbelieve everything I have ever done, said, heard, or otherwise experienced in my life. Enjoy.

Believe whatever you want. Not sure why this particular reality is making you so defensive, but that's up to you. It was not particularly unusual among the highly competitive back in my day and days before that. Not every young man was as fragile and frightened as today's youth.

Because BS is BS.

BTW, you seem to have confused several of us with "today's youth".

What you describe - had it been "not particularly unusual" - would have been the cause of the deaths of a large number of "highly competitive" people. Bodies don't work that way. Period.

You vastly overestimate your importance if you think I would bother to lie about anything to you. But keep on trolling me if it's important to you. I can take it.

During my college wrestling years I knew of several deaths per year due to extreme training/weight cutting. I didn't say it was healthy or wise, but it was done. I (foolishly) did it myself. Older guys told me it was even more prevalent and extreme in the generations before mine.
