The pre-fast Diet is most important to establish Regularity before beginning the long Water Fast (of 21 days or more).
In addition, I don't want to go through the pain of Detoxing during the Fast. I want to detox first.
When the Bowels start eliminating every morning soon after arising...it's time to start the Fast.....WY
P.S. O...I'm sorry you have been through so much pain.
