gearing up to try this

I have been wanting to do a zero calorie fast for a long time, and have been feeling called to try it again. My first and only attempt at this was in the 90's before I knew I had hep C. I had a boyfriend who did Water Fasting periodically for 5 days at a time. He did it for health reasons, explained about ketosis and all, encouraged me to fast.

I knew I needed to do something because I was plagued with chronic health problems and felt tired all the time. I had done The Master Cleanser and the rise and shine diets, and found them helpful, but not helpful enough. I watched him go through to ketosis twice. He acted like he was on acid when he finally made it, marveling about how sensitive his smell had become.

Since I had seen him fast a couple of times, I kind of knew what to expect, and decided to try it on my own, when he was out of town. Well 24 hours into it, I felt like I weighed ten tons and could barely move. I suddenly became afraid that the building might catch on fire, and I wouldn't be able to get out, because I could barely move. With great effort, I picked up the phone and called a friend, who demanded that I get up out of bed and make myself a cup of tea. It took me 20 minutes to waddle from the bedroom to the kitchen. I have never tried it again until now.

I have been reading everything I can find here, and elsewhere about fasting. I am not doing this to lose any weight. I only weigh 107 pounds. I would like to get rid of the Hep C, but this is more than just a health pursuit for me. There is a spiritual matter. I would like to conquer the demon of fear.

Right after I tried fasting and failed, in the 90's, I did a Liver Flush and it was very successful. I got nearly a quart of stones, some an inch and a half in diameter. I felt so much better afterwards, and the pain in my side went away. About 7 years later the pain came back. I flushed again, and got a bunch of sludge. Since I found out I have hep C, I have flushed 4 more times, getting only sludge, including this morning. I have no pain in my side and my liver seems to be functioning normally, for me, which means regular constipation, which began in childhood, long before the hep C. The doctor recently said my kidneys are in excellent shape.

I fasted on apple juice and did coffee enemas for two days before drinking the olive oil and lemon juice last night. I resumed drinking apple juice with Epsom Salts this morning to help me eliminate the green pea sludge. I have been drinking herbal tea to assist my kidneys. I have freshly squeezed Watermelon juice for this evening, and fresh squeezed green vegetable juice that I will drink tomorrow. Monday I will begin sipping warm water only.

I have read that it is very bad to stop fasting out of fear, like I did the last time. And if you do, you will get to know the inferno. It wasn't long until I got a burning bladder infection that lasted for months. And then I got two hemorrhoids that hurt so bad I bent over and let the doctor cut them off in his office, because I didn't have any insurance. 6 years later the hep C nearly killed me. I guess I've been there, seen the fire. Seems like I ought to be able to do this. Don't know why it has taken me so long. Pawk Pawk Pawk like a chicken.

I have been taking home made Colloidal Silver in hopes that I won't have so much hep C in my system that I can't get past the heaviness that scared me so badly last time. Here's hoping the house doesn't catch on fire. Thanks for being here, all the advice I have been reading, and anything else anyone would like to add for a first time chicken.

I will feel tremendously successful if I can do this for 3 days, and hope that if I can make it for 3, I will be able to complete 5 days.

Also curious to know if the people who are fasting for 20 days and more are doing so with a regimen of a few days on zero calories, then taking a break, having a V8 or juice or whatever, and going at it again?

I read that some guy cured himself of blood cancer by fasting five days on and five days off for a year.
