No you will not die unless you have some serious heart issues then it could be possible. The wds you will have is dependent on many factors as your age, how long you been using and how much, what you will be taking to ease the wds etc.
Bottom line if your young and have been using less than a year its not that bad and you will bounce back fairly quickly. If your like 45 or 50 been using for years the wds will be harder but still not a health issue but will take much longer to bounce back to normal.
You can do it all of us here have and we are still posting so I think we are still alive, the real issue and the most important one is staying cleaning after your clean.
Peace

I dont think so.  I think what happens is WD's are just flat out bad, that people think they are dying.  often depends on the person, some take   it better than others.
