Hi Kask,

first you should know a few Things.

Dry fasting is not a kind of fast that works well for every person. Some People have high toxic load and need water to Wash all the toxins out their bodies. Especially People who have history of using prescription medications or artificial hormones. Any fast can make you sick if you start the fast with unclean colon. You should always start any fast With very clean colon.

If you take water enema, and everything that comes out is clean water, than you know Your colon is clean.


Symptoms you just explained may also have a lot to do With Foods you ate when ending Your fast.

You should know Your body well, before jumping on eating Foods that may trigger similar symptoms.
For example, similar symptoms may be triggered by nightshade vegetables like tomatoes, in people who are intolerant to nightshades.

Another problem: You are treating Your toe from outside, when in reality, it is an internal problem projected just on your toe. You can not fix toe pain from outside.
Instead of treating Your toe, you should take a clean water enema, or a liver flush, as Your left toe is related to the function of Your liver.

You Write:
"I have had lemons and apples in some juices."
What if you are intolerant of lemons ?


Try eliminating all highly acid fruits and vegetables and any highly acid drinks like ACV, including all acid citrus fruit, and all acid nightshades like tomatoes and peppers.

And, consider a liver flush.

The pain in Your left toe is related to the liver meridian, and also spleen meridian.
Liver meridian is on the left side of your left toe, spleen meridian is on the right side of your left toe.

Google Charts of those meridians.

Good suggestions above.
ACV could make it worse if acidity (uric acid) is now your problem. I'd do like up to 3 tsp a day in water of bicarbonate. Even best if you have sodium-potassium bicarbonate, not just sodium bicarbonate. It is melon season here, I'd go for plenty of melons due to their high pH. Citrus is used to treat arthritis, but too much (combined with other acid like nightshades) may overwhelm the body capacity to transform organic acids into bases.
If it is gout it should subside within a week w. or w.o. great measures.
In order to feel better you may look into homeopathic remedies such as Arnica gel.

Anna and DL,

Thank you for your replies.

I do not even remeber when I took any medications, may be 30 years ago. My parents always used home remedies. I eat raw vegan foods with occassional cooked foods.

Tomatoes are definitely my problem after a fast. Everytime I had gout after a fast I had tomatoes. I eat lemons everyday so I do not know if that is an issue, but will stay away from that for now. I also had been taught by my parents about nightshade, but I have ignored that in my adult life.

I did clean my colon with Vitamin C flush and did very well with my fast, I just did not do well with post fast feeding.

I love those meridian charts. It makes sense to me now.

I was planning a Liver-Flush anyway, which I will do asap.

I will look in to Arnica gel and NA-K Bicarbonate. I have mineral concentrates I can mix with baking soda.

Thank you so much.

Another suggestion: juice of freshly squeezed parsley - 1 bunch parsley makes 30-40 ml shot with a good juicer. If no masticating juicer is available, cutting into tiny bits and infusing at room temp. in distilled water should do - you need to eat the "soup" in few hours.
To be done daily. Parsley is alkaline and anti-inflammatory.
And, yes you may just have more uric acid than others, keep going.
I believe that lavender can be good locally, or rubbed from oils, but tea of lavender can be dehydrating - not good for gout. I believe there is also slight toxicity, when drunk regularly.
