Hello,
I have been posting my experience here and there but I didnt have a consistent thread where I would post my fast log, so its going to be this one. there are a few very important events that happened to me that I didnt share with anyone yet, I will summarize them below:
1. one very inspiring email (cant say who because I didnt ask for his/her permission) mentioned that hot baths and saunas may not be recommended. On day 4 I took a hot bath. And sat in it for like 45 minutes. Started feeling dizzy, only slightly though, but my warning bells were going off telling me that it will get worse. So I got up and showered. When I got out of the bathroom, SOMETHING STRANGE HAPPENED. My heartrate went up soo fast. I can hear it out loud, and I can feel it. I didnt know what the hell was that. It must have been two hundred BPM or something. I have run marathons before, and this was worse.
I quickly grabbed my water and gulpped gulpped gullped and, all of a sudden, it dropped quickly, back to above average. I have a close friend who is a professional doctor (in standard western medicine). he knows what I am doing. I told him this happened to me. He asked me whether I started sweating or not and whether I can function normally or not. I said I was fine, just heart rate went up. He said then you dont have much to worry about. he said if i sweated and started to lose focus with this, I would be in big trouble and would have to eat anything sugary immediately, even if it is unhealthy candy or chocolate.
2. I went to the gym on day 3 and day 6. Fast walked for half an hour, and did one set (12 reps) of any exercise for each muscle (chest, back, shoulders, bicep, triceps) except the legs. I figured I ddint want the muscle to sleep or go eaten. I want my body to realize I still need these muscles. I plan to go today too.
will talk more in the next post.

This is a reply to # 928,167Hello again,
As for enemas, I believe that I only need to take them when I believe i need to take them. I have been going for the first week, very little but still once every two days was good for me. On day 7 I took one (anal enema) at night because I hadnt gone for the past couple of days. It worked. Weird enough, i kept going the next two days after it (8 and 9).
Has it helped mentally? I cant tell the difference so I dont know. In general I feel great. I do feel hungry once in a while but I feel good overall. I go to work as normal, usually from 8 or 9 till about 5 or 6. My work is very flex time so when I wake up late, its ok with the firm. I work as a mechanical engineer and project manager in an engineering and consulting firm. my job is somewhat demanding mentally. My duties vary greatly. I do find it boring to work sometimes, but thats with fast or not lol. But I used to find only the management side boring cause its trivial (my scope hasnt grown to my ambition yet). recently, however, even the activity i enjoyed most, pipe stress analysis, also seemed boring. This used to be fun for me. maybe because my brain is not getting the glucose rush it used to get with all the food i used to eat (the company provides free lunch and dessert many times...i have been resisting since this fast began!)
or maybe its boring because its about time it got boring. i dont know.
so how was day 10 today? my infection i had in day 9 is almost gone. i slept most of day 9 to recover so i ended up waking up at 5.20am today. I was also able to go to work. but i wasnt very productive at work. i dont blame the fast directly, i think its the infection, and coming off of it.
my tongue is also very coated. it feels disgusting. it was never like this before.
I plan to go to the gym for a fast walk. maybe do one set of exercise for the major muscles too.its going good for me thus far.

This is a reply to # 928,180Hey.
I just woke up. Its noon, saturday, july 28. Its the morning of day 11 for me. I would post later today but there are a few things that happened that I want to share.
First I was getting back pains in the later half of day 10 yesterday. And i was really feeling my kidneys working. Very fimiliar pains with what "Michel" on Yogayak mentioned. I felt my back/kidney pains continuously. It wasnt really painful. I just felt them working. I believe, i hope, that these are signs of detoxifications!
Second, I was feeling very ill this morning, like I wanted to throw up. This was in bed though. I didnt get up from bed because I thought I would wait until it went away, but it didnt. I got up anyways, and it went away when I got up. Very wierd.
Third, I was planning to go the gym yesterdayafter I posted my day 10 posts. I ended up sleeping the whole day and didnt make it to the gym. i will see if i can make it up this weekend. I dont know about today because:
Overall right now I feel ok. Not energitic, but I just woke up. But I feel that this is how its going to be the whole day. I feel that calm and rest are going to prevail today.
thats all for now. I will post again tonight if i have more to say or something to share with you all.. later then

This is a reply to # 928,809Sorry to hear you are feeling ill. The good news is you are probably processing something toxic from your system. Make sure you flush your system with water, drinking half your body weight in oz.
From what I have read and to people I have talked with, I would go really lightly on the gym exercises. I understand your wanting to keep your muscles in shape, but it might compromise the length of your fast, and or expedite the loss of minerals from your system.
I would also consider re-evaluating the use of enemas during a fast. If you cleaned your colon prior to your fast and maintained a raw food diet for a week or so the enemas are less likely needed. If you are toxic, have health issues, constipated on a regular basis, then it might be an important consideration. I think colonics are more gentle and more effective if you can find someone near you. The natural hygientists seem to be divided on the use of enemas. Perhaps the enema board may be able to address the frequency and type of enema you need during a prolonged fast.

This is a reply to # 928,809Hi Swordfast, Remember you want to give your body a complete rest so that it can devote its energies to healing. Try to rest and be at peace physically and mentally. I would do gentle stretching exercises instead of working out. The gym will be there when you are finished fasting. Don't push yourself. You are doing GREAT!!!
Fasting is mildly dehydrating. So no hot baths during the fast. As you found out, hot baths can be dangerous while fasting. Although, I have read of some people who take them and do well.
Wishing you abundant health...

This is a reply to # 929,032Today was a hell of a day. A HELL OF A DAY
The description below might upset someone sensitive so please if you think you don't like reading such things don't.
first, after I posted in the morning, my nose started running. My sickness/ill feeling came back strong and I couldn't get rid of it. My body wanted to vomit out something. So I said you know what, let me vomit it out. I go to the bathroom and try - no luck. It made it to my throat, gave me the sick after-taste, but I couldn't get the thrust and stomach contraction to get it going. I decided if it ain't coming up, its coming down. I drank lots of water, relaxed for a while, and decided to take enema. I took one. It worked but the sickness was still there. When I try to press my stomach with my hand, I get this weird stomach pain. I thought to my self what the hell is this about. I figured best to ignore it.
I relaxed, tried to lied down, covered my self and stayed warm for a couple of hours. All the while blowing out my nose. My sick stomach feeling was still there. My close friend (the guy i mentioned before who is a professional doctor) comes in without an appointment because he has the keys to my house. Now although he is a professional doctor, he knows that fasting can be good for you, especially that he also knows person A and B, and their story I mentioned before (those that healed themselves from a 40 day Water Fast I mentioned earlier in a post).
I told him briefly what I went through. He dismissed it, saying that you shouldn't have anything to puke, what are you trying to get rid of? I didn't know what to say. anyways I concluded that I have two problems: my flu, thats causing my nose and throat problem, and something in my stomach, which my friend finds surprising. Later on I couldn't take the stomach annoyance anymore and decided to trying throwing up again. I go to the bathroom and throw up. After numerous attempts, lots of vomit came out. It was clear, it was bubbling, and it had red blood blobs. Probably three or four. Another 5 minutes and I puke again, again same liquid, same red blobs. I showed this to my friend, and he told me that I have stomach abrasion, a condition in which I get an area of the stomach which has been attacked by the digestive acids and is causing this red stuff to come out. I explained to him the pressing pain i got when i pressed my stomach, he said this is all the more evidence to suggest that I have this. He said I must drink milk now to ease the acidity of my stomach.
I asked him if is there any fruit or vegetable juice out there that is alkali and not acidic. He didnt know of such a thing, and he told me this is standard protocol for doctors, you have this problem, you let the patient drink milk. I asked him if i can water it down, he said no. I reminded him i haven't eaten or drank anything in 11 days. I mean who breaks a Water Fast with milk! He then said drink watered down milk now and follow it with pure milk. I was very resistant, it got a bit dramatic. he swore to me that if he had endoscopy cameras to show me my stomach lining, i would see a red area that looks like its in big trouble. HE also added that its a reversible problem if I don't let this go to the next stage, which is something similar to permanent ulcers. I decided to go ahead with it since my ultimate goal is to be healthy, and I simply put, didn't know any better.
I added one shot of milk to 3 shots of water, drank that, and then drank one shot of milk. very small amount. I guess that technically ends my fast. However he said if this pain is gone tomorrow, continue the fast. But he said if it continues, he recommends that I start my ramp up away from fast into a healthy diet.
I don't know what made him think I can continue tomorrow without this happening again. Now I am guessing he reckons that its maybe that I had a stomach acidity surge because of my sickness / infection. I will ask him. Anyways After those shots of milk, I did feel better very quickly, which made me believe him 100 %. I continued consuming only water but then an hour before now (now is 1.20am), I started feeling the stomach abrasion again very lightly.
Currently, my dominant feeling is that I am sick from this cold/flu/influenza thing. My body has been warm all day, its still warm, and my stomach feeling has been reduced, but not eliminated. Come to think of it, I am gonna go take another shot of pure milk. as for what now? i haven't decided yet. I have to rid this infection and sickness and pain so I can get my head straight.
Thats my day. How was everybody else's?

This is a reply to # 929,318Hi Swordfast, I hope that milk you drank was at least organic raw milk. I'm sure you would not drink pasteurized milk or milk with added hormones and Antibiotics .....
Vomiting usually develops in those you have not been drinking enough water and are mildly dehydrated. If the vomiting is continuous and severe, the fast should be broken. About 62 hours into my first 72 hour water fast, I began throwing up from both ends. I could not get it to stop. My husband insisted on taking me to the emergency room, where they declared that I was dehydrated and started an IV. I swear I thought I was drinking enough water.
Flu like symptoms are very common during a fast. You are detoxing.
Have you read this post from momfor2manykids? She lists some of her detox symptoms.

I think you have done great! Are you ok? May I ask why you are fasting?
Please take care...

This is a reply to # 928,167In previous fasts i have noticed the heart speed rapidly increasing. That only occurs when you get up to fast, the blood rushes down to quickly. After sitting down or sleeping, i make sure that i get up very slowly, because it is possible to faint.
