Guest guest Posted July 18, 2006 Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 Hi Sandy, Fasting is a therapy that you should be supervised through if you have not done it before. You should certainly read up on it and be mentally prepared for a fast, and know how to start one and end one correctly before undertaking one. Fasting is a process that you should probably start out slow with, such as one day, and then work up to 3 days or more. I have done a 10 day water only fast, and a 14 day juices only fast. Both were very challenging! But I would definitely encourage you to research this thoroughlyy before you start. To begin a fast, you should stop eating processed foods several days before, and eat mostly fruits and vegetables. This will ensure that your colon isn't encumbered with alot of heavy, putrefying foods right before it all slows down. That stuff will sit in your colon if you are not doing colonics or enemas, so you want to make sure you have clean-burning foods in your intestines. Drink lots of pure water. Do enemas if you can. To end a fast, you begin with high water content foods, such as watermelon or broth. You slowly can add foods back into your diet that are more bulky, and try to avoid processed foods as much as possible. For the first two days, you will feel sluggish and icky. By the third day you will feel energized. Again, if you have not done this before, you need to read up on it and be supervised by a doctor familiar with fasting. Most doctors are clueless about it. There are websites full of info on proper fasting. Here are a couple really good ones: http://www.freedomyou.com/level%202/Fasting%20Page%20Guide.htm http://www.billbright.com/howtofast/index.html Keep asking questions Sandy! We're here for you!
