Re: My digestive system has failed to start up after my last fast. Help!

since mh is mentioned as a possible source of wisdom in this case...


MH (whom I respect a lot, for so much of what he does/knows)has NO appreciation of the Water Fast whatsoever. (He thinks it mainly a great feat of endurance; but that's all i've ever heard him comment on). Personally, I think he's sadly missed out on some of the experiental wisdom of the Hygienists, ansd what the WF might accomplish, if undertaken after proper reading,
(as with his 108 pages he encourages people FIRST read!!!)

The orange juice fast is what he promotes; (yet I don't see the current "fruitarian" doing that without a lot of additional assistance in the way of the "longevity spices" "Mrs. Barefoot", "Pica"...
(all good stuff, mind you)

For me however, this is not a "fast", so much as a genuine re-building, remineralizing feast, and cleansing.

I wonder if MH can even fathom the benefits of a water fast. I don't think so--and to be fair, so few undertake it even here, having done any proper studying beforehand.....

The "oj fast (which, the "pure way" as he has told it was a pint a day, and nothing else, no herbs, etc.) might be (or could have been) very good for some...might be hard to even envision, for others


Just saying...

yet the water fast, not being any kind of feast, can provide a deep rest, if undertaken properly. Tweet
