Re: Dr. Schulze's liver/gb cleanse and fasting

[Guest guest]

Hi

I have done several variations of liver cleansing - including Dr. Schulze's 5

day cleanse. Yes, it does seem that most people talk about Dr. 's

cleanse, but there's also Dr. ' version (www.relfe.com) as well as

others. I've done a bit of fasting in my day, so I'll do my best to

offer what support I can. As for exercising during a fast, I would suggest

that you listen to your body. Don't overdo it - I mean, I wouldn't go for

any intense aerobics classes or kickboxing or the like! but sure, some

exercise will help your body with the cleansing. And the elimination will

happen when your body is ready for it. Were you having regular bowel

movements prior to this? Your body is getting a great rest and your bowels

will resume when you resume eating. I know there are others who will

strongly say that you need to do enemas during the fast, but I'm not in that

school of thought. If you feel the need for one, then by all means, do one.

But for a short fast like this you should be just fine.

As for websites and books - well, there's a ton of them out there. I'd

really encourage you to do a search for fasting and check out what the

different sources have to say. They will differ, but you will find what is

right for you.

I hope some of this makes sense. I didn't get much sleep last night and am

fighting to keep my eyes open!

keep us posted, okay?

is red meat bad?

Hi :

You may feel weak or dizzy during the first few days of a juice fast, but

this can be a good sign. It often means your body is releasing toxins, which

is one of the objects of a fast.

If you are trying to fast and work in a restaurant at the same time, all I

gotta say is - WOW! Good luck.

Well, it's bad if you're trying to do a fast!

Thank you to those who have shared their wisdom. I'm on the 2nd day of the fast.

It's not so bad. I'm a massage student and have been doing massage as well as

riding my bike to school and so far, I feel fine. I got a little dizzy in class

yesterday around noon, not sure what that was about, but I'm fine today. I did

do a search for fasting and found some interesting and helpful information. I

think the hardest part might be tonight...I work in a restaurant. I don't really

want food, but if I am around it for the night, you know. Just a little

mental/emotional discomfort, no biggie.
