thank you so much, chris and Fonty! your advice has been absolutely priceless to me. i don't know what i would have done without it!
just in these last few hours i have noticed a slight increase in my energy, though my pulse rate remains at 40 beats per minute. i will definitely take your advice and continue to fast for about two more days and then break with the juice and then raw food diet to prepare for another fast. (i will only continue past Sunday on this current fast if my symptoms of extreme weakness go away). i think i will juice/raw food throughout the 40 days of yoga, and begin Water Fasting again after that.
