You throw up so violently that you think you're turning inside out. When you have nothing left to vomit you still retch... bile is gone, you still retch. You sleep, fitfully on the bathroom floor for a day or two. You can't keep down anti-emetics. You eventually get dragged away from your porcelain buddy to the hospital for an IV because you're so dehydrated.
People in the emergency room next to you grow tired of hearing the retching.
Your body is sensitive to foods for weeks and you're in a weakened state for a good month.

Now THAT is one hell of a "fad diet."

I don't have much to add other than having a "clearer mind and increased libido" is also an effect of fasting. It could have nothing to do with the eggs or the fact that they are raw and more to do with the lack of calories and nutrients being supplied. I'm a believer in occasional fasting to detox, but somehow throwing in some raw eggs and meat seems to defeat the detox purpose.
