Re: Is fasting the best option for me?

Hello Raj,
good to hear that you are beginning a water-only-fast on the 2nd July.
There will be a drop in blood Sugar of course, in the transference of glucose-burning to one of fat-burning for fuel, and many people will feel quite terrible in the first few days to a week during this time, but this has everything to do with the levels of toxemia and its elimination and toxic hunger, rather than a result of any adrenal fatigue.

True hunger symptoms give a certain sensation in your throat that increases salivation and provides a dramatic-heightened taste sensation in your mouth. Toxic hunger symptoms include: fatigue, weakness, lightheadedness, headaches, gas, irritability, nausea/sickness and even a rumbling stomach.
Basically the toxic hunger symptoms are the same symptoms we feel when we "think" we are hungry. The concept goes back to foods and their nutritional values. This toxic hunger is nothing more than a physical addiction to an unhealthy, low-micronutrient diet.
In basic terms, our cells of the body desire certain nutrients in order to function properly. When you neglect these nutrients to the cells, the body will always feel like its starving because in a sense it is starving. It’s starving for nutrients, NOT calories.

So the answer is yes, you will have to grin and bear these uncomfortable symptoms for a while (as I did on my own first 25 day fast) but these will depend entirely on your levels of toxemia: the higher these are, then the greater the likelihood of adverse symptoms. Low toxemic levels usually produce no adverse symptoms at all and a fast would be plain sailing and very enjoyable.

The Budwig Protocol is quite amazing in terms of health benefits, but like anything else including the fast it takes time for the body to heal/eliminate and repair itself.

In relation to your adrenals, Shelton had this to say and with which I am in full agreement..............

"Every gland depends upon the cooperation of the others. Glands are only organs, like the muscles, or the stomach. They have no existence, as such, in nature. They exist only in relation to other parts, or rather, in relation to the whole organism.
All the glands of the body, be they ducted or ductless, are under the constitutional or union of the organism (symbiosis)".

In other words, address the health of the whole body and you will achieve the optimum health of the whole body, including the Adrenals.

Q. Which health remedy affects and heals the total sum of its parts?

A. Water-only-fasting.
