Day 10 Waterfast
Detox requires endurance of some terrible detox symptoms. But what is the alternative? How did I feel before I started fasting?
Date: 5/20/2017 10:14:24 AM ( 7 y ) ... viewed 460 times Terrible detox day. Mother of all migraines. I felt a shadow of it on day 8 and 9 but did not drink nearly enough water that day! And stayed up too late. Perfect storm. Oh regret! Maybe it was unavoidable. I get migraines associated with bipolar anyway so it's not like I would be better off not putting myself through this fast. It sapped me of energy. Any exertion made my head pound harder so I had lots of rests in between chores I wanted to get done. Two Epsom salt baths. My husband cracked my neck like I've never heard it crack before. Like keys on a xylophone. Went for a walk. But I started and ended Day 10 with it and it's still hanging on today.
I've noticed a lot of people put sea salt in their water for fasts. Rich in minerals. Has warming effect on kidneys that tells them it's not summertime which determines how they deal with potassium, vitamin k and calcium. So i thought I might try it. Maybe my salts are out of balance from drinking only water. Ugh! It was terrible! Heartburn and nausea ensued for hours. I'm sticking to my lime and water that I've used from Day1.
I'm rereading a book that explains thoroughly in layman's terms liver function and digestion. EATING ALIVE II by Dr John Matsen ND
I feel like after this fast I'll have clean slate so to speak. A fresh palette. So I find myself formulating plans on my next move after breaking my fast.. Even how to break my fast. Dr Matsen explains eating for your climate. If I were to only eat fruits and vegetables in season when I come off this fast there is very little to choose from. So I would eat local produce that is cooked or preserved. I'm favoring stewed apples and berries. Canned peaches and pears. Cooked squash, beets, beet greens.
Trying to not focus so much on future food I will consume. Enjoy the moment. Live the process. It is an awakening. Spiritually, physically, emotionally. And despite detox symptoms, I love it. I was not truly alive. I was numbing my feelings by any means possible. In fearful denial for so long. The walking dead. Today, I feel alive. Migraine and all.
