Re: Nutrition stores
Interesting about the malic acid. that's often used as a pre-liver flush, to dissolve
(or shrink)gallstones. It may be that your liver/gallbladder is being quietly worked on. I know this isn't part of the protocol with water fasting, but since you know you're not ready to jump into the WF, you might look into the liver flushing. It can have really dramatic results, after even one. Personally, I've found it easy and painless, and everything works better in the body. All sorts of hormonal and adrenal issues have just dissolved away. The liver is at the centre of the whole bodily system, and the liver is where reserves are stored too, and freed up for use during the WF--but this can't happen efficiently, if its clogged with old toxins, bad fats, old emotions, etc.
(i think i mentioned that after my 29 day WF a
Liver Flush (still) produced a number of stones and small stuff. I'm sure it was what the body was now able to work out after the WF.)
I don't take any supplements right now, besides whole foods like kelp and blackstrap molasses and lecithin; a bit of
Epsom Salts , and feel better than I did through all the various on/off experiments with (non whole food) supplements.
