Soliciting Opinions and Recommendations

[Guest guest]

Thanks for that. Some of the earlier posts suggested that if I

didn't start at 10 days I'd pretty much be wasting my time. I like

hearing that the shorter fasts may be beneficial for someone, like

me, who wants to start.

I have only been able to fast for 48 to 70

hours at a time. I have done this every week or 2 weeks. I got away from it

around the holidays but just got back into it a couple of weeks ago.

 

I water fast. I have noticed that I have

felt better overall and I have lost some weight. People have asked me how I

have done it and I tell them that I water fast. Most reply “Better you

than me.”

and when they do I don’t tell them any more. If they looked interested

and seemed interested a have advised to look up more info online and if they

had any questions I would do my best to answer them.

 

I let them know that I am no expert but I

do have some experience. My manager did a 5 day juice fast and it worked really

well for her. I plan on doing a 21 day fast sometime this spring or summer and

I know that it will be a really big challenge but the more I fast the more I

know that I will make it through it fine.

 

I have never tried a juice fast but I know

they work well too.

Its just amazing isnt it Robert. And these newbies

dont have to enter the

fasting olympics to start just a day or three and

they will

see some results once a week.

Whenever a new thread is started, the originator can't help what

direction it goes.

 

I had no intention of being contentious. I just wanted to make sure

that it's clear that a juice fast IS a fast.

 

But I'm a newcomer here and if my remarks were perceived as

contentious, then please feel free to disregard them. They weren't

intended that way.

A one day fast is beneficial. Most fasting sources I have read

encourage people to start with a one day fast and build up to a longer

one. It's very individual.

 

Shorter fasts are very beneficial.

No, thank you. I appreciate you bringing it back down to earth.

Harvey Diamond didn't include fasting in his Fit for Life book. The

closest he comes to prescribing fasting in his book that he called a

" high energy day " , in which you ate only fruit. That could be a kind

of juice fasting.

Harvey diamond is a lite version of natural hygiene.

He does not include fasting. Traditional hygienists do.

 

Ellen Whites Naturals 8 doctors were

 

Water, air, rest, nutrition, exercise, sunshine ,

trust and temperance

 

All the conditions must be in balance or someone could still

be sick fasting and eating the right food

 

www.getwellamerica.com

 

Heres Victoria Bidwells list culled from Shelton

 

Cleanliness inside and out

Pure Air

Pure Water

Adequate rest and sleep

the ideal diet of fresh faw fruits and veggies nuts

and seeds in the proper combination

right temperatures

Adequate Sunlight

Regular Exercise

Emotional Balance

Nurturing Relationships

 

I like Harvey Diamond. He gathered info from NH and TC Fry

took the ball with what could be presented to the American people

and ran with it. He sold over 12 million

books. In his latest Fit for life not fat for life he

mentions fasting and its benefits- in mice- for 2 paragraphs.

If hes a true hygienist then Billy Ray Cyrus is Elvis.
