Re: Chris question about your response

Hi

Thank you sooo much for all this wonderful information you are sooo kind.

My first fast was religios and at day 23 I passed out right in front of my boss, she panicked I looked too underweight and sickly for her liking ,I just had to get away from all the fuss so just drove off, and still felt bad I had to throw up so just pulled up at the next entrance I could. Yikes... it was a CEMETERY... there I was amongst the dead bringing up all this green stuff, dizzy and weak and scared. I was freaked out was this a sign, I just got the hell out of there and spent the rest of the day at home in bed freaked out and obviously I broke my fast on homemdae vegetable soup it was kind of cold. Now I look back its kind of funny but I think it has always kind of implated in me that these symptons could result in death hence my being hesitant to push the limit. Also because this was a religious fast I wasn't well versed in the physiological aspect of fasting.

The next year was a health fast and I was more willing to push the envelope so went a day longer 24 days and had endured these symptoms for 2-4 days but had again given up mid detox.In all cases I was far from hungry,and it makes perfect sense cause obviously I was still detoxing so the fast could not have been complete. I only felt true hunger once a few weeks ago no craving but unmistakable true hunger.

Your'e right when health/detox is a priority then you are more willing to see your fast to completion as you did or as I tried on my 24 day fast. However my last year fasts were for weightloss and weightloss was the priority so at 38pounds lost in 21days I ended the fast as soon as that final detox started.I've lost a lot of weight and had plenty time to effect real change towards heathy habits that I plan on all my future fasts being detox/health; and equipped with all the information you and Fonty have shared with me I will be better able to cope when this detox crises I guess I just know have to find a balance between your advice to try my best to endure the detox as it will pass and Fonty's advice to try end my fast on a good not both of which are very good pieces of advice which I'll take into account next time.

You both really dont know how much light you've shared on this subject which has always bothered me especially since graveyards and the dead were in the picture the first time I experienced this I was spooked and surely convinced hanging in there would sure lead to my demise ha ha ha. But now I know its not just me others experience this and its a DETOX symptom not something exclusive to me or something I should fear a lot. LOL! You dont know how much you've helped me really you took of a burden off my shoulders thank you thank you thank you really I'm grateful.

Many thanks
