Man Goes Mad After Prolonged Fasting And Praying (photo) by dre11(op): 7:09pm On Dec 29, 2018

A middle-aged man has gone mad after embarking on 14 days dry fasting and praying.

The man whose identity could not be ascertained as at press time was said to have been married with five children.

He was said to be returning from the church where he carried out the fasting and praying when starting behaving abnormally.

Witnesses said he demanded for a plate of fufu and meat but started making incoherent statements saying he wants to kill himself.

Several efforts by sympathizers to make the man go home were resisted as he rushed to lie down on the busy Upper Sokponba road.

The pastor of the church where he carried out the fasting came to the scene but refused to give his name.

He simply advised the people to allow the man rest and eat.

A former member of the church who pleaded anonymity said she left the church because of the manners members were subjected to hunger in the name of fasting.

Prolly has cerebral malaria ,or some _shit like that.

It could also be low blood sugar, or some _shit like that.

Or has been demonically possessed because he was fasting to edify man/self, not Christ.

Long and short is improper and misguided fasting can fvck you up in so many ways. He is even lucky to be alive.

If a person does not have the energy to fast, that person shouldn't fast
If a person dies because of hunger or malnutrition while fasting is suicide

Blame Ketones.
Nothing spiritual there.
You people should read about the biochemistry of fasting and starvation.
Been long I read that sha but to summarize, when you are fasting the body tries to still provide energy to the body and brain. It starts with converting glycogen in your liver to glucose.. On day 4/5 of fating, it goes to fat converting it to ketones and sugar..
If you are still foolish and still fasting, it jumps from fat to proteins all in a bit to keep u alive.

The primary source of energy to the brain is glucose. In periods of starvation, ketones to take over and this can reformat your brain(lol)...

Nothing spiritual about it at all.
Blame the ketones.

Lmao.

His pastor probably told him to fast and he did.
In my opinion, the pastor should be caught and made to revert him to sanity since he caused it

Re: Man Goes Mad After Prolonged Fasting And Praying (photo) by boss1310(m):
I once had a sales girl who was ill with something either malaria or something of the like cos her body temperature was off the roof.I told her to take a break and advised her to visit a hospital but this girl boldly told me that her church doesn't allow medicine and that she is fasting,I now force her to stop coming to work and called the person who brought her to me who in turn fixed a meeting between me and her parents but her parents insisted she must not visit the hospital even though I offered to pay the bill.as for me I angrily walked out and told them she won't come back to my place till she visits the hospital
long story short the girl died three weeks later and this was in 2015.the idiotic parents came to inform me it was God that took her and I told them to the hearing of everyone that they and whoever owns their church murdered their daughter cos God knows nothing about it and if there is hell am sure their daughter is there now.
people are so stupid when it comes to religion always thinking about"divine"help,how can you starve yourself for 14 days and expect to be alright nonsense
