No headaches, a few sniffles, tongue coated, thickness in the back of my throat. I have had an issue with my hip and back and everyday it feels better and better and it has only been 3 days of fasting. I am doing a water fast. I was about 97% raw vegan before the fast. > > Great job Kay > > Linda Sue > NO - NO - NO ! You must learn about fasting before you embark on these procedures! Please learn more about correct fasting. x A fast MUST be broken on juicy sweet fruit or you will put great burden on the body. Dried fruits are not a good choice at the best of times, soaked or not. I would suggest a good ripe melon - but dont eat a huge portion. Just a couple of ounzes to begin with. Or a little mango or half a nectarine, eating a little more an hour later. Don't eat any fats for at least a few days. I have no idea what kind of diet you are eating at present and I have no knowledge of your health circumstances etc so I safely advise you. I would suggest that when Elchanan returns you get in touch with him about this subject. It takes the body a few days before it even " realises " it's fasting. By the 4th day the metabolism is lowered in order to preserve energy. Absolute rest is required for the body to have any chance at cleansing, healing, balancing etc. Because you will be breaking your fast after a short time I suggest you continue on sweet, juicy fruit, minimal fat (only avocado) and a good green salad with fruit veg each day in general. It's the best idea to NOT be using the internet whilst the body is resting, which is why you need to learn about what you are doing BEFORE you start. I am sorry I cannot help you further - It is not my place to advise on fasting supervision - I DO suggest you contact Elchanan and I hope he will be able to assist you Namaste Kay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
