Need Advice and worst case/best case...

I have been fasting for chronic digestive issues and "mental" and "emotional" issues that I have had for over a year. I am currently finishing day 24 of my Water Fast and I want to continue to fast until hunger returns or my mouth and breath are fresh. None of these things have happened yet, but I am beginning to see some real improvements in my health, however, they are incomplete. I'm very optimistic about the whole process and want to continue to heal. However, the caretakers at the family home I am staying at want me to limit my fast to 28 days and will not allow me to continue past it for fear of my life. I would have to leave these caretakers and look for another place of residence if I continue. Do you think it's urgent that I fast to completion thereby receiving as many of the benefits as I can or can I end it even if it is early and still receive the same benefits? Thank You
Also, if I do end it can I still maintain even more benefit and healing. I have had chronic headaches for many years and I see that this fast is dealing with it. If I break the fast and continue with a raw diet like I plan on it can I expect to continue to see healing or will it take a much longer time?
There number one fear is that hunger may not return and I may be seriously harming myself.

This is a reply to # 1,491,555by rights, there should be no harm either way i.e. if you end it at day 28; or if you fasted to completion - because hunger always returns (but you already know that).
if it were me, i would choose the path of least resistance and finish after day 28 - because the last thing you need while fasting is stress. seriously.
in your current circumstance, are you able to break your fast with fresh juices and fruits? i'm not clear how much control you have?
the biggest issue is *how* you break your fast, not *when*.
you need to have a plan in place for at least as long as you fasted, but preferably 1.5X the length of the fast. healing will certainly continue if you break your fast correctly and continue to follow food combining principles and eat raw, fresh, seasonal fruits and vegies.
and hey, big congratulations on your 24-days - more power to ya

pk11687,
that is an excellent reply to your post from L*u*l*u.
I would heed her advice to the letter.
The only thing I would add is listen to your body and eat only what is dictated by appetite; being abstemious with your raw food diet that is hopefully properly combined to minimize digestive energy.
Your appetite will be slow to return if genuine hunger does not occur before day 28, and needs to be re-nurtured.
L*u*l*u is spot on with her advice, and where the healing will continue post fast: in fact Shelton always said that the breaking of a fast, and the post-fast lifestyle/diet is the difference between success and failure.
Bear in mind that the fast does not heal.........it only allows your body to do so, and where this is an ongoing process after your fast is broken.

that is *such* a crucial point - bless ya chrisb1.
it's not just the fast.
it's not just the re-feeding, either.
it's an ongoing process.
and it's called 'wellness'.
so, please. believe: your fast will help you heal. and you *can* heal.
you need to break your fast correctly. you need sunlight, fresh air, fresh foods, a fresh, healthful attitude. and NO stress!
i'm sure you know all this. but we are your reinforcements! and your support.
fasting engenders a mind/body connection like none other. if you let intuition be your guide, you will be rocking.
and it seems like you and your intuition are already good friends, otherwise you wouldn't be here on day 24 ;)
peace + blessings

This is a reply to # 1,492,555Thanks guys for your help. Do you think you could help me out with how to re-feed myself as far as the first few days go. I have a good regime for when I introduce whole foods again, but for the first few days I'm a little stumped. I think the only thing that I can get a hold of is fresh Orange juice, which I hear is a good idea. How much should I take and how long should the intervals be?
Answers to questions like this would be very helpful. Thank you!
Oh, also...I feel pretty drained on energy. Can I expect that to return with vigor over the next few days because that would rock!Advertisement
