Yes, it would completely damage your system. Your body is complex and it has complex needs. Milk addresses very few of your body's nutritional needs. Carbohydrates are essential for proper brain function, and you need about 120 a day. That's just an example of one of the things your body needs in order to function. All the vitamins and minerals you get on a daily basis are essential for the function of your body, through vegetables, fruit, bread, dairy, protein, etc.
Like someone else said, you cannot start to do fasting for 15 days right away. There are methods of fasting. Please do more research.
If you're trying to lose weight, I would be worried that this might start you on a bad habit of not eating- which could lead to not menstruating and eventually infertility.
Its like trying to run your car on water instead of gasoline. You're going to have problems. You can damage your vital organs this way. I URGE you NOT to do a 15 day milk fast!

Yes, it might harm you. If you want to go on a fast, there are some good books on the subject. You have to start slowly with fasting. Try a three-day diet of only apples, to begin.
If you are an experience faster, you know already something about what happens when you fast, if you are new to fasting, you have to learn some of the basics about fasting or you can harm yourself.

My question is why did you choose to fast with milk? Milk is so hard for the body to digest. After all it is made for baby cows!! Have you ever considered fasting on fresh raw juices? I've done that several times and Wow! did I feel great and I lost 1/2 to 1 pound per day! Go to freedomyou.org and you can find alot of good information about fasting.

Why? =/
On organic skim milk?
When your fasting ain't you supposed to only drink water?
Fasting is a method for total body cleansing
your not detoxifying your body by drinking milk -_-
and if it's for weight loss, it won't work, well it will but you'll gain it back in a matter of 2 weeks or so
If your serious about the fasting I think you should try organic veggie juice instead =)

Are you nuts? What would make anyone think that consuming only milk is good for them? Unless you're a baby cow, you shouldn't be drinking cows' milk anyway. If you're trying to lose weight, you might want to eat more fruits and veggies, clear broths, salads, whole grains. Milk has a lot of calories and doesn't really fill you up.

first off why are you fasting? a fast longer than three days should be supervised by a doctor. Long fasts causes damage to your kidneys. Fasting with milk isn't a good idea at all. Milk causes mucus build up in your body.

YES THIS WILL EFFECT YOU.......
mostly because milk is not even supposed to be consumed by human beings. it is supposed to be consumed by only baby cows.
there are healthier and shorter fasts like there is this juice fast that i was gonna go on but my mom got pregnant and basically all u drink is water and vegetable juice that u squeeze urself and no food at all for 3 days if u want maybe a week or two u can go on for a month if u want

If you want to fast, I reccomend a JUICE fast
100% fruit juices, and vegetable juices
Healthier for you than milk, and the natural fructose in the juice will keep your blood sugar up, and keep you from passing out.. I've done it. (Okay.. 7 days, not 15... but I felt fine)...

Ummm, why don't you do a fruit/brown rice/vegetable soup fast? Skim milk is not cleansing to your system.
