Hi Fonty, I was wondering if you could share some of your fountain of knowledge :0).
I have been attempting to start a fast...was going to start with juice and then transition to water. I have had somewhat of a difficult time, going beyond 48 hours, thus far.
I was thinking maybe to doing a dry fast (on my off days) and the other 5 days of the week, eating raw...fruits, veggies, mostly. Although I do have several raw recipes, I have acquired of recent.
I am thinking that on my off days, when away from work, it MAY be easier to do a fast.
1) So, here is my question, will I benefit from doing a 2 day dry fast and 5 day raw food 'diet'?
2) Will I notice a difference, within a relatively short (within 30 days) span? Not a completion but a difference. Others seem to have 'seen' some difference from the 48 hour fast I did.
3) Also, when I do the dry fast days, does that mean no water, as in Showering?... and brushing teeth? I know NO water or otherwise, as ingesting for those 2 days, though.
Thank you for your help and knowledge! Have a superb day!
Peace,

This is a reply to # 1,179,334Thanks Chris, and everyone else it means a lot to me. And I wasn't fishing for praise honest! ;) I just meant there's no point adding the same advice in different words, when it's right, it's right.
I just click 'Agree' and move on. :)- Re: Fonty, ? about dry fasting, plea... mouseclick

This is a reply to # 1,179,350Your welcome Andrew,
my first choice reading of ANY post is usually yours, for the reasons I have given earlier.
You have always offered information and advice that has inspired many a member here, including me!!
Your daily contribution is highly regarded by all of us, so don't even THINK about just agreeing and moving on. That is not your style or what we expect after so long.
There is a definite "VOID & VACUUM" on the forum if we do not see your posts for as long as 4 days or longer.
Enough said my friend.
Regards

This is a reply to # 1,179,607Thank you #96036,
That is very kind of you, and heartwarming to know that.
I have had my own very serious health problems in the past, and just "giving" a little is very rewarding for me. If I could have helped just one person: that in itself is very worthwhile.
This is also a very difficult time for me.
Not only did I lose my father to Multiple Myeloma (Cancer) on Boxing Day last year, but I have just lost my closest and lifelong friend to Colon cancer which metastasized to his Liver. My father was of the "old school" of traditional medicine, and had closed his mind to any alternative, despite the evidence of his own eyes.
My friend was more "open" and agreed to follow an indefinite course of "Oleander", a proven cancer remedy, where his health improved immensely, forcing the cancer to recede; but he gave-in under pressure from his family and Oncologist to abandon it as hogwash, giving preference to "chemo'".
If they had both listened, I have no doubts whatsoever that they would both be alive & well to this day.

This is a reply to # 1,179,616Chris,
My heart goes out to you in your time of grief. I can only imagine how you must be feeling because you, of all people know how our bodies heal themselves if given the chance. I read your story in the link your provided in another thread on this forum, Natural Hygine: The Greatest Health Discovery. What an amazing testimony you have. I'm sorry your friend listened to "medical professionals" instead of you.
Each of us have the free will to make choices and I can tell from all the reading I have been doing on this forum that a lot of people have made the choice to heal their bodies because of you Chris! I hope you can take comfort in that. I understand about your father being from the "old school", its hard to tell elderly people something they have believed all their lives is wrong or that there is a better way.
Just know that you did your part in telling both of them and that was the best you could have done. Again thank you for being here for all of us Chris.

This is a reply to # 1,179,334Fonty.....I also agree with Chris. I have been reading the posts here for months and the knowledge and insights I have gained from you and Chris have been immeasurable. I have had a lot of health issues resolved and have grown spiritually from the fasts I have completed so far. My experience has been that when I mention fasting to anyone they immediately start telling you that you will end up harming yourself or worse. I have learned to keep it to myself and avoid talking about why I am not eating. My last fast was for 18 days and I never would have been secure enough to make it without the info and advice that I have obtained from your posts. Thank you both for taking the time to share with everyone.- Re: Thanks jennalee n/m Fonty 16 y 3,519

This is a reply to # 1,178,677Hi Beth. Yes you will see plenty of benefit in 30 days! You'll feel much better I can almost guarantee it. Raw food and fasting is the perfect combination, it's how we should really be living anyway. And it will give your body a chance to rebalance and heal some at least of what needs healing with the rest and high nutrition you'll be giving it.
Some people say not to bathe while dry fasting. It's certainly true that we absorb water from showers and baths, though I don't know how much we do. It would be interesting to find out how long a bath or shower would have to be for example, to absorb a glass of water's worth. I myself love my showers and baths so I don't make a point of not having them while dry fasting. I did try it a couple of times last year but didn't notice any great difference in the fast itself.
As for brushing teeth, I'd never miss a day and I always wet the toothbrush for lubrication pretty much is all. And I spit out a lot more than sits in the toothbrush! lol Same can be said for many of my showers while fasting too come to think of it as well.
I hope this helps Beth. Good luck and keep us posted! :)
