First, do you have a history of ulcer? If you suspect ulcer don't fool around. Talk to your health pro.

It certainly does sound as though you have every reason to be carrying a big toxic load! Barring a serious problem like ulcer, don't stop your fast--never break on a low! Fast through, drink LOTS of extra water and lemonade (sounds like you do that).

You need to keep your colon very clean, every day you fast. If the salt water flush and tea are still leaving you feeling congested, do a plain water enema. This will help clear your intestines so the tea and swf can work efficiently. It is critical for you to clear your intestines! I have had a plain water enema stop a nasty detox crisis in its tracks on many occasions while fasting.

I would highly recommend you look into a series of professional colonics (usually 3) to help get your intestines clear of debris. I like to do a colonic every ten days of a long fast (I did 60 days last summer, colon cleansing my major goal). If you are in good health (that blood concerns me), I believe the MC, hopefully supplemented with professional colonics, could be an excellent program to help get you back on track!

There is an excellent enema & colonic forum here at curezone. These are indispensible tools for anyone serious about body cleansing and detoxing.

Another BIG item: LIVER FLUSH! You can flush tons of toxic gunk from your liver very simply and effecitvely. Visit the excellent, very supportive Liver Flush Forum , click on FAQs at the top and browse through. Any questions you may have will be answered by the wonderful gurus there. Fasting, colonics and Liver Flushing have given me back my health (and of course, following up with good diet and exercise).

The good news is... it IS possible to offload all that junk and replace it with vibrant good health! I am a living example. It took me almost four years, but it definitely can be done! Keep at it and start now to plan your post-cleanse diet and exercise program!

Best to you,

Hi!

With regard to your migraines (and I don't suggest you do this during a cleanse!!!!),I used to get them regularly, too, including regular headaches. Back in 1985, I changed my diet radically overnight. First I did a 4 day Rotation Diet leaving out all foods I was allergic to (wheat, corn, dairy, yeast and eggs...obviously any food products that contain these items in some sort of processed form...for example wine, chocolates, corn syrup, etc.). Gradually, I took it further and went vegetarian (but still no dairy!!). Once in a while I would have a buffalo burger and salmon (wild caught only)...maybe once a week or sometimes not for months. We eat a lot of raw fruits and veggies...organic mostly. Anyway, after about 8 years, all headaches and migraines disappeared completely. Last migraine was around '93. My last illness was winter of '94...pneumonia believe it or not. I figure it was my last mucous crisis...didn't go to hospital..just rode it out (at the time I did not realize I had Pneumonia...just thought it was a real bad cold). Anyway, doing all the detoxes, etc. takes time and patience. But well worth it!!

Back to the migraines...when you are not in a cleanse of some sort...and a migraine starts up (I assume it's gradual?), try walking up and down some stairs for 20 minutes to half an hour. This is a great aerobic exercise...but it also gets rid of the migraine...at least it did for me. For me, it gave relief...sometimes permanent and at other times temporary. The moment I felt the migraine returning, I'd get back on those stairs (carpeted stairs). I know this is the last thing you want to do when you have a migraine...but for me I opted for this protocol because otherwise I would have the pain for 2-3 days. I felt that a lot of pain for maybe 20 minutes (by going up and down the stairs with a migraine) was a good investment in preventing the pain for 3 days or so. Keep in mind that I was back then and am now in very good physical shape...not overweight, cholesteral around 180, blood pressure as low as 90 over 60, but typically in the realm of 100-110 over 70. Exercise for me was and is a normal habit for me since I was a teenager. What I'm saying here is be careful about doing this type of exercise...be your own guide...you don't want to get a stroke doing this if your body can't handle this. 20-30 minutes up and down stairs can be brutally exhausting for some. For me it was no problem (a 2-5 mile run is no problem for me...). I hate to say this, but check with a health care professional first before you start hopping up and down the stairs to be sure you won't do harm to yourself. That said.....instead of treating symptoms, get to the cause and cure it...eating properly, cleansing and moderate exercise worked for us...probably work for you, too!

Best wishes!!
