28 Day Medical Fast, Day 9
Date: 2/12/2009 9:08:24 AM ( 15 y ) ... viewed 1868 times I would love any comments from other fasters, I'm doing this blind without and prior experience. Let me know If you have any helpful information.
My mouth tastes metallic constantly. I'm now convinced I'm in the state of ketosis 24/7. I don't know if this is good or bad. I've read a lot about how it's beneficial for some diets, such as the medifast diet, I've seen the Medifast diet work and I believe it. Also there are some studies about how the constant state of Ketosis has helped children with epilepsy to avoid siezures for extended periods, as long as there are ketones running the brain function and not glucose. I've also heard of "starving students" who reach greater mental capacity while studying because of the ketones. Am I really far off base here?
When I lay down to go to sleep at night I've been having some strange sensations in my left leg. It's like my mind is telling the muscles to slightly jerk or flex, but stops short of actually doing it just as the signal gets there? It feels sort of electric/muscle contraction. If I wrap both of my hands around my calf, I can feel the tension as the spasm passes. It happens about once a minute until I fall asleep. It makes me think about the restless leg syndrome commercials we have on t.v. sometimes. What the heck is that? This isn't a new sensation, I've just beacome more aware of it lately.
I'm off for colon hydrotherapy this morning, I'll update when I've returned.
Hydrotherapy is more comfortable than an enema. Plus someone else does all the work! The hydrotherapist used refexology on my feet and stomach to get things working better. I cleared out a little bit, she called them "kibbles and bits", although there was a fair amount of matter purged, it certainly wasn't as much as I had anticipated. I'll be scheduling more appointments in the coming weeks. Bartering is free for everyone involved. I get an awesome service, and I work on repairs to her business. Good deal all around.
I shopped for my next two weeks of fasting groceries. Apples, oranges, lemons, parsley, zucchini, pineapple, mango, papaya, celery, and some probiotics for oral and enema application to keep the good bacterial working in my intestines. I have plenty of green veggies and carrots left over.
I haven't lost any measurable weight in the last few days. Interesting....Hmmmm.
