Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Tina, I have done some fasts lasting 3 to 5 days. Lately I do fruit and water fasts. The first day is the hardest,. I feel great and a lot lighter. Physical ills like aches and pains, heart palpatations,you get clearer thinking, things like that are alleviated. Just do your homework with the fasting protocol and get lots of fluids (water/apple juice mainly) and if you have a health problem or are on medication you will want to check with your doc first. Best of health, Jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 HI Tina, I avoid fasting because i believe it causes gallstones. The gallbladder neeeds to be stimulated on a regular basis in order to empty out it's contents. the women in my family on my mother's side are underweight due to fasting for religious purposes and my aunt who fasts developed gallstones, the only logical explanation. I also due to my vegan diet and frequent believed it caused me to develop gallstones. --- Tina <frinh96221@...> wrote: > I'm currently reading " The Miracle of Fasting " by > > Bragg and am fascinated by some of his ideas.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 I've never read anywhere that fasting causes gallstones. Actually, it gives the body a break from all of it's work of digesting food. Your family members would have gotten gallstones from eating sweets, not exercising, stress, poor diet. Read up about the causes. Namaste, cathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Personally, I started having gallbladder pain (eventually had it removed) when I was on an intestinal cleanse and fasting. I suspect now that my gallbladder already was not working very well even before the fast, but the fast was the " last straw " . The surgeon said my gallbladder was full of sludge (no sizeable stones noted). I recall reading quite a few emails (don't recall which group) from folks who started having gallbladder pain when they were fasting or dieting. So does fasting cause gallstones and/or sludge? Maybe. Or maybe a malfunctioning liver/gallbladder came first and just got worse during the fast. It seems there is no one answer for everybody. Some people seem to feel great from fasting. Others, like me, got a lot, lot worse! ----- Original Message ----- From: lightwalkercathy@... gallstones Sent: Saturday, April 23, 2005 8:31 AM Subject: Re: Bragg I've never read anywhere that fasting causes gallstones.
