Re: Strange fasting experience

Boy, bummer! Sorry you had a rough time.

First, I would say you did not drink enough juice. You should shoot for 4-6 cups of fresh juice daily, plus a good 2-3 quarts of water/herb tea. I think you had a blood Sugar crash, which could have been corrected by drinking juice.

However, since the juice was nauseating you, and your time is limited on this fast, I'm sure you did the right thing.

Another question: Do you do a regular colon cleansing ritual every day while fasting? I have had a plain water enema bring me back from the brink of death on many occasions while fasting--if you don't remove the toxic waste your body is eliminating thoroughly and regularly, it can definitely create havoc.

In January I started a juice fast, then went to water for about 10 days. Never again! I wanted to have the experience, but in my opinion there is no reason to feel so debilitated while cleansing, when juice can do the job and keep you on a regular schedule the whole time. The weakness you describe is similar to what I went through on water. Bad idea.

If you wound up doing a liver flush, I hope you had a good one! And whenever you get back to cleansing, I wish you a much better experience.

Best,
