Guest guest Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Dear Fellow Raw Fooders, Thank you for your concern and your posts. I slept about 7 hours last night and awoke at 6.30am. I felt very well. My sleep remained unbroken. I still remain physically slow, broken by moments of intensity as I read the newspaper. I must admit the fresh sultana grapes at the Fruit Market looked delicious, but they will have to wait. It took me a while to get into this fast because it was only on day five that I was able to completely relax with a muscle relaxation exercise. I am feeling so well I may extend the water fast from 9 to 10 days then come down very slowly with vegetable juice for 3 days, then add fruit juice for 2 days, then fruit and vegetables for ever. It's lovely to be able to write to you and lovely of you to read it. Victor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2003 Report Share Posted February 15, 2003 Victor, Three days to come off a nine day fast seems very conservative. If you come off too fast you will get pains in your stomach, for which the cure is - drink water! The idea is to come off with small nibbles which are frequent: every two hours or so. My apologies for sounding frivolous about medical opinion. I take medical opinion and I respect it. There are few of us who would not be alive without it. Doctors are experts who give treatments which they have not undergone themselves for conditions which they have not experienced. They put whole teams of their profession into refining and testing everything from the rarest substances to common salt. And such is right. Yet it seems that fasting is not an approved treatment for anything in the medical profession. We can be sure that if fasting were dangerous there would be medical papers written on the subject. Water would carry health warnings. It should therefore be fair fodder for a raw food forum as there can be no swifter or safer method of removing cooked food from the body than by halting the intake thereof.
