Usual practice is to taper off the medication gradually over the first week.

Dr. Fuhrman does not allow any of his patients to take medications while fasting. I was lucky enough to attend one of lectures last year and personally spoke to him.

Here is what said about fasting and meds.........

Dr. Fuhrman says that complications can arise when medications are taken on an empty stomach. Those fasting should avoid over-the-counter drugs such as Tylenol, and people taking medication more regularly are probably not good candidates for fasting.

“If you’re requiring medication on a daily basis, you should not be considering fasting,” he says.

The exception, he says, is when a person fasts under the observation of their physician, who will work them off their medications in the weeks prior to the fast.

He also says that nutrition densed foods are the best way to cure diseases. Please read this in its entirety..........

After you don't need to take the meds, you can fast to clean your body.

You may choose another type of fasting - fruit&herbal tea fasting; juice fasting. In all these you can have some medication, then you will either discover you don't need your full dose of medication or you need to break the fast due to some interference between the fast and the medication.

I've done the first kind Fruit&herbal few times, but opt for Water Fast know, because it is simpler to do and faster in effects. Fruit&herbal is less tasking, but with slower effect. Ketosis develops if having a total of 800-1500 g of fruit daily and 3-4 tsp of raw honey (maybe you can go with light mapple syrup if allergic to honey; but honey is esp good for mental health) in the warm (but not hot) herbal infusion - depending on the activity level. Expect to be hungry every 2 hrs (and even in between). Should be done about 14 days, max 21 days, since minerals will be in imbalance after that period.

You can also go on a raw food diet, in which case you will experience more gradual effect, but you can continue your meds as long as you have to.

BTW have a look at Orthomolecular therapy for mental illness or schizophrenia and particularly the legacy of Dr Hoffer.

Hi,

if you don't know "The Life Regenerator", Dan McDonald, from Youtube, you might like to check him out. His path has been one of raw and living foods and he walks his talk.

Water fasting is premature for someone on the meds you are on.
And you would not be on these if you were not firstly, mineral-deficient. It is a kind of catch-22. But remineralizing, which is crucial,
with juices and smoothies and living foods
would prepare you to be able to Water Fast AND get off the meds safely, and to not need them.


Also, you might check out "visual centering." Just to see someone do this, in a short video, is to be inspired to what the human being is capable of--which is to be totally present, balanced, to feel safe and happy and fully alive, and
at peace within.
