Re: Day 13, Considering breaking after tomorrow
In case you feel inspired to continue here is a bit of info as to what begins to happen after around 2 weeks of fasting where cleansing starts happenng at the cellular level:
The healing work of the organs is being completed. After the detoxification mechanisms have removed the causative agent or render it harmless, the body works at maximum capacity in tissue proliferation to replace damaged tissue. While a short fast will reduce the symptoms, a longer fast can completely heal. Homeostatic balance is at optimum levels. The lymphatic system is clean except for a rare discharge of mucus through the nose or throat. After day 20, the mind is affected. Heightened clarity and emotional balance are felt at this time. Memory and concentration improve.
Personally for >me< 21 days is my minimum.
When you fast and are not consuming fats so bile production has all but stopped. This creates conditions favorable for the formation of liver /gallstones so it's just a good idea as preventative measure to flush your liver post fast. This is more critical on the longer fasts. You should wait till you're back eating solids and your elimintions are back to normal before doing the LF.
The grapefruit juice or any other juice is only used to mask the acrid taste of the E salts so any juice will substitute. In the original Dr. Hulda Clark recipe it calls for using water.
