Re: The Liver Flush Is BS

Hi. Thanks for your interest and comments. I enjoy reading what you have to say.

I've no doubt that the symptoms produced by a 36 hour Water Fast would be a genuine marker for a toxic body.

Here's the catch: "when the starvation period begins: between 30 and 50 days, depending on the quantity and quality of internal food-reserves."

Not everyone has high quantity and quality of internal food-reserves. It's my thinking that people can be both highly toxic and highly deficient in internal food reserves, at the same time. It is not "either/or". That is why some people need a slower, gentler method of detox.

In my 30s, I decided to eat a good, clean diet. After a few years, I was able to go with very little or no food for many hours and experienced only a natural sort of hunger by 6 PM, after coming home from work. Prior to this slow-healing method, I had symptoms of what is generally called "hypoglycemia", where you want to eat quite often or you feel awful & cannot function (as you describe).

I do not think that 30-50 days of fasting should be the standard to judge people by. There is something called "a weak constitution" (low prenatal Jing in Chinese medicine) where according to my interpretation you will never, ever be able to fast for days and days only on water just because you are detoxified. Here is some further info:

"At conception, the Prenatal Jing is passed to the fetus from the parents.

Prenatal Jing (together with an energy derived from the Kidneys of the mother) nourishes the fetus during pregnancy.

Prenatal Jing determines basic constitution, strength, and vitality. It is fixed in quantity, determined at birth: it cannot be added to, only conserved and used up more slowly. It is stored in the Kidneys.

The way to conserve Prenatal Jing is by striving for balance in all life activities. Balance meaning moderation in diet, work/rest, sexua| activity. Irregularity or excess in these areas wastes Prenatal Jing.

Certain exercises help conserve Prenatal Jing, such as breathing exercises, Taiji (Tai Chi), and Qi Gong."
