A woman was admitted to a hospital in Israel suffering from severe malnutrition and possible permanent brain damage after three weeks on a diet of only fruit juice and water.
According to the news outlet, she was put on the fruit juice and water only diet by an “alternative therapist.” The diet reportedly damaged her capacity to regulate the salts in her body.

No qualifications are needed in Israel for someone to adopt the title of a dietary therapist, according to the news outlet.
Local media reports make no mention of the purpose of the diet, but fruit-only diets are sometimes used as a “detox” or as a way of reducing calories.YouTube Raw Food Star Ditches Diet

Ayres said that the problems started after a 25-day water only fast in 2014. She said that she felt fantastic after the fast, but that her menstrual cycle stopped for two years.
