go for it, Life, good decision. start documenting it here and we will support you all the way.

Hello lifebeginsrightnow,

Endometriosis is apparently less severe when hormone levels are more constant, and usually totally absent before the advent of menstruation, and after the beginning of the Menopause.

There is nothing but nothing that will regulate and restore your metabolism and endocrine system that a water-only-fast. However, this must be of sufficient length to gain the max' benefit: 21 days may be an insufficient time period for the body to self-heal.
The good news is that this will go a long way in achieving that aim and where a strict plant-based diet that is properly combined will most likely finish the job.
If not, then a second and subsequent lengthy fast after a month of refeeding as above, should most definitely suffice.

Your skin conditions should also be eradicated this way as well.

My family did some shopping today and oh boy, they were all congregated in the kitchen cooking and eating! My dad cooked King Fish which is my favorite. My nephew is munching and I can hear him happily biting into something crunchy. Aaaaah!

I am not hungry at all but my nose is picking up food smells! Every hour somebody is eating and I get so jealous! They are all overweight btw. We have poor eating habits, and I seem to be the only one with some sort of control. That's probably because I didn't live with them for 4-5 years, I was with my ex and his family who all ate healthily (lots of Mediterranean food).

Anyway, mentally I'm suffering. I know I need to do this for my health!

Physically, my left knee is aching (always had trouble with this knee in the past, but it's aching now even though I've been inactive. I have no headache. My biggest problem is this heavy heavy period flow (sorry if TMI) and the blackish blood that is being released. I know this is part of the symptoms of endometriosis (the heavy flow) but the dark color of it is scary.

I need support guys...Day 2 is done in just a few hours...but everybody is feasting on some delicious food aaaaaaaaaah!

As usual, people cooking, eating, constantly in the kitchen ugh! Physically I'm not hungry, but mentally I want to eat! But I didn't.

My flow is still heavy, I wonder if I should take iron supplements during my period? And can I take birth control pills during fasting?

My right ovary is a little sore...no pain but it's letting me k ow that there's something going on in there. This is the reason why I am still strong and going forward in this fast. I need these inflamed tissues to go away!


I am thinking about lots of food today, baked fish, sandwiches, cakes, chocolate....but I remind myself that food will still be there after my fast.

Looking forward to Day 4. Hopefully I have energy to take a little walk tomorrow. Or do some laundry.

Tips guys?

How to combat this weakness? I am bored being on the bed. I've been reading a lot, but I want to be out and about. When is this bursts of energy going to manifest?

I've been hiding my fast from family but they are noticing my lack of food of intake. My mom gave me a banana to which I said "Thanks can you put it in the freezer?" She said, "Are you killing yourself?" First of all I am not doing this for weight loss but I just didn't explain. I kept quiet. My mom is 5'1" and 210 lbs. A food addict.

My overweight nephew started giving me popcorn (he never does, he's selfish with food). So he knows I haven't been eating. Now he munches in front of me. Grrrr!

I am experiencing pain in my left ovary. What the....? I have never had problems with it and now it's tender and sore. I will never have kids if this doesn't get sorted out!

My skin is breaking out in my chin and chest area.

I need my strength back.

Why am I still so weak?

And I've got pimples on my chin, yuck!!!!

And my heart palpitates just going to the bathroom.

I'm still bed-bound. =(

First few days my left knee hurt. Today it's my entire right leg. And my left hand. Tomorrow my right will probably suffer.


Still no BM.


Hope Day 6 I can finally walk around.

When will the weakness end? I've been bed-bound and miserable since I started this fast.

A little stronger today.

Tomorrow I have to go to NYC. I hope I am strong enough to commute.

From most of my research I gathered that Water Fasting is to hard on the body it is not recommended, Water Fasting is not as beneficial as a juice or broth fast. The broth fast is alkalizing as well which is very healing, I read this book by Airola Paavo called, Are You Confused. The book advises doing long broth fast with coffee enemas daily so you do not become autotoxemic. By the third day of the broth fast the body goes into autolysis which is the body kicks on this ability to burn up diseased tissues when this kicks on it stays on while you are on the broth fast and then your on your way I think it is best to supervised by a ND . I would first do the mini beet protocol that is wbat I did then I did the broth fast the recipe is on line I did the fast on broth for two weeks no food and it was a piece of cake I loved it

Research about blackstrap molasses and apple cider vinegar (with mother)
You don't need to fast

I wonder if you succeeded, I see this was from 7 years ago now. My wife has an ovarian tumor and thickening of the uterine wall plus a few cysts. She did not want surgery so she (and I, to help her) did a 10-day fast in Feb. 2017. She had the tumor and other things measured with an ultrasound the day before we began the fast. Two days after it ended, she asked her gyn for another ultrasound. The gyn said, "No way, it could not possible have changed in just two weeks!" My wife was very distressed by this so I suggested, let's see if the oncologist will do the ultrasound. And she agreed.

We found that in 14 days, the tumor had shrunk from 466 cubic centimeters to 190 cc. It went down by 60%!!! In mid-April we wanted to do another fast, hoped to do another 10 days, and she had it measured again. It was continuing to shrink. The benefits of the fast continued after the fast. It went down another 13% from where it was after the fast.

Unfortunately, we did NOT have the ability to fast more than 3 days this time. We just could tell our reserves were too depleted. We were fairly good with our diet all through summer and then tried another fast in Sept. of 8 days. She had the tumor measured again. This time, it was back up slightly in size to where it had been right after the first fast. The benefits that had brought it down to where it was in April were not retained. She was rather upset so we tried another fast in Nov. (during Thanksgiving!) for 3-4 days, I can't remember if it was 4 or 3. And another one in Dec. that was longer, I think 7, maybe 8.
In March we did another longer one, 8 days. We seem to have a hard time going past that most of the time, when I look back and think about it. Today we happen to be on the 8th day of our only fast since March with the exception of 8 days in Sept, which did not feel like it did much for our health because we had gone "off the wagon" and were eating too much junk food since mid-July. Candy, chips, and other such crap. Not too much dairy this time but some.

Well, she has resisted getting it measured again and was feeling it definitely was getting worse lately, for over a month. She was having bleeding as she had right before we did the first fast and several other times, but she feels it is not necessarily a bad thing for this to happen, that it seems to be helping to clean out the affected organs and components and helping to get the tumor down. I am not entirely sure I feel comfortable with that when the bleeding goes more than a short time. Usually not large amounts of blood, and some are very clotty so she may be entirely right.

Based on our experiences, I think if you CAN do a longer fast and want to and have the determination to, you probably should. It seemed like only the 10 day fast really changed things. But the 8 day fasts definitely also helped for awhile, at least, to keep things from getting much worse. My wife is normally only 107 lbs and she is 5'3, so it's hard for her to go too long fasting or she gets into what feels like a danger zone. I would recommend contacting the True North Clinic in California, Dr. Alan Goldhamer, and to go do the fast there if you possibly can, under his supervision. And if you are still here at curezone, PLEASE post a reply and let us know how you are doing!
