Tuesday, I went all day without eating, but drank plenty of water. Of course, I felt very weak the next morning. I've eaten each day since then, but my stomach is still very upset. Any clues why?- Re: SAGE mo123

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,341,399Fasting is great if done correctly. But when you first start fasting, it is difficult. I remember the first fast I did, I was so weak and sick for three days afterwards. Your body takes time. Now you had nothing but water, how much water are we talking? After you broke your fast what foods did you eat? Start a fast break it with something light. Too many break their fast with greasy, fats and breads. Mistake. You should break your fast with juices, soups or maybe some yogurt and fruit. Especially if it is your first fast.
So now your stomach is upset what can you do is to boil some water and add tons of sage to the water. Boil it like tea and drink it. This should ease your stomach in two different settings. You can add sugar or honey.
If you want to fast, start slow. Do not eat or drink for 4 hours and break your fast with a piece of fruit or a cocktail. Two days later, fast for 8 hours and break your fast. The next day go for 12 hours. Now you are broke in and you can fast as normal. Especially if your stomach is sensitive.
I will be doing a one week oj fast on Feb 1, join me?

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,341,403The first thing I ate was chicken noodle soup. Mostly the broth, plus some of the noodles. That was Wednesday morning, then in the afternoon I had about 3 tablespoons of rice. Yesterday, more noodle soup, then 2 eggs last night.
I drink water all day long. I always have to have something to drink beside me. When it's hot, I can drink 7 or 8 bottles a day. But now that it's cold, I've probably slipped back to 5-6.
I feel like I could get sick at any minute. But I did come to work, so obviously it doesn't hurt crazy bad.
Would ginger help? I'll have to check at the health store for the horn of rhino.
I'll take another look at your OJ fast. I'll let you know what I'm going to do.- Re: Horn of the rhinocerous mo123

This is a reply to # 1,341,416Yes, ginger tea would be excellent also but not as good as sage. Make yourself some ginger tea. Place a cup of water in a pan and add 1 t. of ginger powder and bring to boil. Let set for twenty minutes and then drink. The capsules are not as good.
Ginger is an anti inflamatory. There is no reason for your stomach to be upset from what you describe other than a virus going around or that you are pregnant, lol. One day of fasting should make you extremely weak and tired but not as long as this unless your immunity is extremely low. Make sure you place a hot water bottle on your stomach to ease the pain or a hot pad. This will ease the pain. Never keep on your stomach for more than 10-15 minutes at a time. Rest and then do it again.
Never begin a fast when you are sick. You must get over your illness before you can fast again.

This is a reply to # 1,341,431I have been fasting for over 15 years and I can tell you it weakens the body. Sometimes we fast so much that our body and our eyes get weak. A prophetic saying is that we should not fast for more than every other day and 3 days a month on the siting of the full moon.
I do not believe in extended fast. Start slow and build up. It will play tow on you in your later life.

This is a reply to # 1,341,446"fast for 3 days"
And the fourth morning you break the fast?
I have read the breaking the fast is very critical part of the fast and has to be done properly. What can you eat on the fourth day, for instance?- Re: Islamic Fasting mo123

This is a reply to # 1,341,521We fast on Mondays and Thursdays every week and we fast for 3 days on the 13th, 14th and 15th of the lunar calendar for Arabic.
When we fast we start the fast before sunrise and break it at sunset. Not continual. So no water or food. So this is a great cleanse for the entire body and it remind you of the poor.
So your question 3 days of fasting and then break with what. No, we fast sunrise to sunset and then break our fast and then again the next day the same and the following day the same.
We never unless for a specific reason fast everyday as it is bad for the body and the eyes as told by our prophet. The fast of David was every other day. But one of the companions of the prophet did this and stated he wished he had listened to his prophet as when he was old he lost his eyesight and became very sick.
We have many additional fast during the year also.
Ramadan - 30 days
After Ramadan in the month of Shaban 6 days of fasting
Hijr Month or the last month of the Islamic calendar 9 days fasting
Muharram which is the first month of the Islamic Calendar 2 days fasting
Fasting is good for everyone if done properly. It quiets you, this I need. It makes you be thankful for more and it brings you closer to our Lord.

This is a reply to # 1,341,631I think you misunderstood my post. Fasting is excellent and required for everyone but what I am saying is that fasting over a 60 or more year period every other day is detremental to health. So figure that you would fast for 180 days this year times 60 years that means you are going to fast for 10,800 days.
Now I know you are doing a water fast for a few days and that is very good but you will not be fasting the entire year and again for 60 years. See now what I mean. I guess I did not explain it well enough.
Now Prophet David did do this and he was in excellent shape. It is not necessary to fast that much. Fasting 3 days a month is sufficient except in a twice a year long fast. Just my opinion.
I have never done a water fast and never intend to. I am going to do a juice fast next week.

Maybe I did misunderstand your post, but I gave some links that state that fasting for a mere morning to night does little for health as the body is still using it's energy to digest, and expel the food you had eaten previously.
The information is FYI, not a critique of your beliefs, or way of fasting.

This is a reply to # 1,341,588I think there is a big black market and a lot are from poachers. Similar to the plight of elephants for their ivory.

This is a reply to # 1,341,607No, you are indeed right. I just did not know they were endangered, I just knew it was the best med on the planet.
Hey, they are endangered because they are the best in many areas.
I posted a piece on them on a thread above. Lol, I must be more careful.
