IP Itinerary: Water Fasting

Once a week at the Incurables Party we are "hosting" a water fast!

Why?

For six days, we are getting nutrition and herbs to the places they need to go in order to heal just as fast as is humanly possible without resorting to feeding tubes and IVs. lol What Dr. Christopher found was that after a while of having these great herbs in the body, the body got a little lazy and complacent about these healing herbs being available. So what he did was to take the herbs and nutrition away for a day, replacing these with distilled water and some "fun" herbal teas for a day. By "fun," I mean cozy cups of spearmint or chamomile with a teaspoon of raw honey to just sit and enjoy throughout the day. Or iced green "sun" tea if it's the summer.

What happens is that our bodies start to "miss" the herbs, just like we girls miss our sweethearts when they are out of town or overseas. :-) So if we choose Sunday as our fast day, Monday is the day when the herb and juice programs "come back home." Our bodies respond with grabbing these herbs and nutrients with gusto the way we greet our sweeties when they come home. lol

Now Dr. Christopher said to do the six days on, one day off nutrition program for six weeks. This constitutes one round of the IP. Dr. Schulze divides the IP into 30 day segments. Either way, taking a day off once a week is a part of the program.

On this day off, it's supposed to be a full day of rest and relaxation. In MY world, I have to do the weekly shopping and chores, errand running, and church activities. Such is life. But if you can farm out the shopping and kid chauffeuring to someone else or a bunch of someone elses, then you can actually have a day to relax in peace. Again, you'll find out who really loves you and supports you while you are on this program. Fire the ones who don't. We can't have any negativity in our lives right now. We are literally rising up from the dead, taking our mats, and walking. Try to make Sunday (or your chosen fast day) a FUN day of PLAY!

Relaxing by the still waters while the Lord/YWEH restores my soul,
