How long will it take before you become fatally ill and risk of death from starvation?

Starvation is very painful.





If the degree of malnutrition is severe, the intestines may not tolerate a fully balanced diet. They may, in fact, not be able to absorb adequate nutrition at all. Carefully prepared elemental diets or intravenous feeding must begin the treatment. A formula consisting of 42% dried skim milk, 32% edible oil, and 25% sucrose plus electrolyte, mineral, and vitamin supplements is recommended for the first phase of refeeding. The treatment back to health is long and first begins with liquids. Gradually, solid foods are introduced and a daily diet providing 5,000 calories or more is instituted.





Death by Starvation is cruel. I have researched this topic and found that this is the most cruel and inhumane way for someone to die. Do you remember when the Terry Shiavo case was going on?





When a person is starved to death they suffer a lot of pain. They have bad stomache pains, bad headaches, their arms and legs cramp from not eating, and they try to cry out from the pain but they can't shed any tears because there is no fluid in their body. A person can live 10 to 14 days without food and water. Eventually they will go in to a comma right before death. Their kidneys will shut down and then from there own everything in the body starts shutting down.How long will it take before you become fatally ill and risk of death from starvation?
If you are anorexic then there is a big possibility that you also have autism, high functioning or Asperger's Syndrome as anorexia in girls/women with autism is very common. Please seek some one who specializes in Asperger's Syndrome and if possible also specializes in women with AS. Having autism can give you many reasons to want to end your life. I know from first hand experience as I have Asperger's SyndromeHow long will it take before you become fatally ill and risk of death from starvation?
IDK but if you are thinking of trying it then please don't because it will take longer than you think and death will be painfully slow with other internal organs shutting down.
I was taught a good mnemonic for this:


3 minutes without air


3 days without water


3 weeks without food.
I was actually going to say what old fart Frank said above; it's what old school Dr's like my mom and Dr Frank where always taught. But it's good to go by
i was told the same as Dr Frank...


3 days without water/drink.


3 wks without food.
