I'm attempting a 30-day long Water Fast & am wondering whether I should be taking trace minerals as ppl with heavy metal poisoning typically have little to no mineral reserves? The gums around my teeth are receded which apparently is a sign of under-mineralisation & have long been like that since before starting my fast.

Other concerns I have are:

From what I've read, the consensus among the pioneers of fasting seems to be to avoid all forms of colonic flushing & supplementation during a fast, however I wonder how applicable/beneficial these tenets are to the plague of more modern diseases such as lyme, CFS/ME & autoimmune disorders. An absence of threat of autointoxication seems to provide the counter-argument, but for most ppl afflicted by these issues today, they suffer from severely compromised intestinal permeability (leaky gut syndrome) alongside virulent candida, dysbiosis & the presence of countless other pathogens, meaning it is not uncommon for one to have in the ballpark of 30 IgG food sensitivities & the perfect route for autointoxication. Couple this with heavy metal toxicity, chronic co-infections like streptococcus, mycoplasma, helicobacter & typically several concurrent parasitic infections, all of which protect themselves behind Antibiotic (even bleach) resistant biofilms, from the GI tract to even the brain in the case of lyme, it seems to me like it would be imperative to incorporate enzymatic formulas designed to break down the biofilms, probiotics to rebalance the microbiota, supplements to bind to the heavy metals to prevent redistribution, & colonic flushing (enemas) of some sort to ensure that all of this stuff doesn't linger in a stagnant gut for weeks during a prolonged fast, or tempt reinfection. I'm relatively new to the paradigm of water fasting, but as someone afflicted by the aforementioned, I can't get my head around how it overcomes these mechanisms.

Also thinking of taking pecta-sol to bind to heavy metals, with Bentonite clay & doing probiotic implants.

What are your thoughts?
