Finished DAY 11: hurting everywhere

Well, obviously member "on-a-mission" hit it right on the spot. She had pains and now I have em too. On the same day even! My left thigh is hurting and I can really feel it when I walk. My lower back is constantly aching and kept me awake most of the night. I haven't been able to do much today because I was too tired (because I barely slept)
In a nutshell: today sucked. To add to the misery, one coordinated individual bumped into me while I was descending the stairs in a public mall. Result: I took a dive down the stairs for everyone to see. And it was a pretty long stairs. So now, added to the list : my head hurts, my right leg hurts, my right shoulder hurts but I'm still intact more or less. *grumble*
Ugh, and I have to work tommorrow.... yuck. I'm not sure that's even such a good idea now every movement is painful and I'm kinda light-headed but we're short staffed and the manager said I can't bail out because there is no-one to cover for me. One piece of advise: if you ever plan on getting a job in London, do NOT, I repeat do NOT apply in The Queens Park hotel. They will drag you out of your sickbed if they have to. The management doesn't care for their staff, just about money. Don't book a reservation either. Everything happens here: from broken beds to water coming down the ceiling and doors falling out. I'm happy I'm going back home in October. There, now you know where NOT to go ;)
Back to the fast. Ofcourse I'm downing my fair share water as usual. And another effect can be added to the list: my ears are closed. You know, the feeling you have when you've been swimming under water, or have a bad cold. It's irritating.
So, notes for today:
The good:
- not hungry
- weird taste in my mouth seems better
The bad:
-muscle pain in my thigh and back
-closed ears
I hope tommorow will be better!
Keep on going fasters!

MoreThis is a reply to # 946,057I'm curious. Would you be willing to try the salt-water cleanse???
Your low back pain could be stemming from toxic overload in the kidneys. If there isn't enough salt in the body, the kidneys will not release the toxins into the urine. The kidneys actually need salt to release toxins!
Having said that, you want a good quality salt, (not tablesalt) for this.
Personally, every time I did a salt-water cleanse, with this kind of salt found at my health food store, I felt LOADS better.
I did 4 or 5 ONE DAY salt-water cleanses during the course of my 32 day fast.
Hope you feel better soon.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 946,101High on Water, Will you please share with me where you got your information on doing salt-water-cleanses during a water fast? Not how to do them, but in the advising of it. I know it will help with toxicity, but I am wondering if it interferes with the healing process or makes it not as effective.
I have read books written by Sheldon, Fuhrman, and Bragg and don't recall them addressing it. I will be doing an extended Water Fast soon and am interested in more info on how it effects the healing process of the fast. Does it take away from it in any way?
I really appreciate your knowledge on the subject. I followed you on the Iodine forum, but not the fasting forum while you were fasting.
Thank you...- To be totally honest with you High on Water

This is a reply to # 946,137it was an answer to prayer.
As one who has had digestive issues for years, including constipation, I was simply Led to DO the salt-water cleanse.
The subsequent info about the kidneys came during the learning process about iodine.
It just "clicked" and made sense to me, especially when one realizes that "salt" is a very natural part of the body, and natural Seasalt is closest to the natural salt found IN the body, with all the minerals intact. It also made sense, when I looked back and realized that I learned how switching to the RealSalt brand of salt from table salt , actually LOWERED my blood pressure, in a day and age where allopathic medicine says "salt is BAD - salt is BAD" - well yes, TABLEsalt is bad, because it is bleached, and DEmineralized. It is straight salt, NOT the salt in the form that GOD (or mother-nature if you prefer) intended for us to consume.
Then, when one realizes that long ago, when our waters were pristine, that there would have been a more natural amount of natural salt IN the water, WITH minerals, and one realizes that the water we drink NOW, is actually more UNnatural for our bodies.
I simply put "two and two" together.
And, natural Seasalt has NO calories, and NO carbohydrates, so it's really not going to effect the state of ketosis that the body goes into when fasting. I believe I "received" an answer to a prayer about what I needed to do at the time.
I did not abuse the salt-water cleanses. I did not "plan" on them. I only did them when I felt an "inner" need for one. Like when I bloated, or got un-naturally "pained"...if that word makes any sense...lower backache...severe headache, that sort of thing.
So, no, you will not find the fasting experts advising on the salt-water cleanse.
It is a personal issue, and why I said it was something that helped me personally. What you do to your own body still has to be your own choice, based on what "sounds" right to you personally.
Make sense?
If it does NOT, then do NOT do it.
Love to you!Advertisement

This is a reply to # 946,247I agree that the body needs salt. I have been adding Celtic Sea Salt to my distilled water ever since reading the book "Your Body's Many Cries for Water."
I would like to try the RealSalt brand.
Thank you for your explanation! It does make sense. I will listen to my body.
I also think God intend for us to consume natural mineralized salt.
Love to you also!- Re: It does make sense. High on Water

This is a reply to # 946,305HoW, I know it will work. It will help with detox just as you say. I am concerned how it will effect my fast. I did a salt water cleanse every day on a 21 day Master-Cleanse last year. I do not have any weight that I want to lose. I want to heal some areas of my body.
If I decide to do it I will post.

This is a reply to # 946,330I did a SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) after having pains everywhere in my body a couple of days ago and I was really glad I did it. Usually I would have just done an enema, but just wasn't up to it. The SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) hasn't seemed to affect my fast at all, although I don't plan on making it a daily thing. I think it should only be used as needed.

I agree, for that lower back pain be SURE your colon is April Fresh! It could be kidneys, or toxins in the lower bowel. In either case a good old SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) could help.
It only took me four years to figure out how to work it:
Dissolve 2 tsp. UNIODIZED Sea Salt (available at health food and gourmet stores) in ONE cup drinkably hot water
Have THREE cups plain water standing by
Chug as much salt mixture as possible, chase with fresh. Chug and chase til all water is consumed. Voila!
About 1-2 hours later the entire mixture will exit, carrying everything within its path!
Alternately, a plain water enema can do miracles in the case of a crisis.
Best to all,

This is a reply to # 948,156I want to do this but am scared. Does it hurt? can it shock the system? Did you have to work up to doing it, gradually? Is there a version for wimps?

This is a reply to # 948,157You either do it, or you don't do it. Guess which version is for wimps?
Of course it doesn't hurt; you are merely drinking a quart of salt water, for pete's sake. It does exit in dramatic style, so is not recommended for the commute (lol)! Best to try on a day when you have nothing on your agenda. Once you have done it a couple of times you will know how your body reacts.
The SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) is an excellent flush of the entire digestive system, stem to stern. I like to include it while fasting, and sometimes after a liver flush. I do not use it every day as I find it a bit harsh.
A good substitute while cleansing is a plain water enema.
Best,
Somer
