Re: Becoming crippled?

I read 'Fasting Path' by Stephen Buhner which i found very illuminating scarface. It outlines not only the physical benefits but the emotional, mental and spiritual benefits of fasting. He strongly believes that Water Fasting is miraculous - yet, depending on what stage your diet is at, it is not wise to begin a 7 day Water Fast straight off the bat.

Have you explored fasting? What results did you get? I would highly recommend getting a juicer. I have been trying to get into me the green juice of equivelent to 2 kg of greens. One day on and one day off so far. I dilute it abit to help with the strong taste!

Currently my symptoms are going crazy as i fell of my strict regime while on holiday. I don't think i have felt so ....lifeless. It does create a vicious circle when we get to the point mentally of feeling so low with it, because it requires alot of mental will and strength to get onto a regime we believe to be good for us. The physical and mental effort some days makes us want to not bother with anything.
I was going to lay down earlier to rest because i felt so fed up - lately i have been enjoying sleep and dread waking up because my reality is currently about feeling so fed up. But i didn't lay down, i knew if i did i can kiss goodbye to a couple of days of Depression getting at me. I got on with some chores...and it sounds pitiful i know but just resisting the mental inclinations that these symptoms bring on us, i felt stronger and more in control of myself and ultimately stronger in a small way towards the path of healing.

Very small steps are all that are needed to make quantum leaps in getting better. I'm finding that if i can tackle my mental symptoms relating to the candida or whatever it is that's attacking me, i'm in a better position to deal with the physical.

I've read alot of your posts and i really wish you all the luck in the world with making those small steps towards feeling like yourself and fully enjoying life again :-)
