14 Day OJ Fast - Post Fast Reflections
My First and longest Faste.
I began my 14 day faste on 9 June and ended it yesterday.
In 14 days no solid food has passed my lips except the odd occasional teaspoon of Almond nut butter, or the odd almond nut until such time as my handful supply ran out.
Since I had chosen to go away on “vacation” for 14 days to do this faste, and felt that a retreat in Thailand would provide the least distraction, and the best support with juice on hand, and ample Thai massage to stimulate and encourage the lymph to clear.
Our cottage was situated up a hill in the jungle over looking the coast. The cottage has a covered landing, where we placed our mattress and bedding, and spent every night out under the stars. So enjoyable to get fresh air free relief from any aircon. This also allowed an hour of glorious sun bathing, in the morning, bring about a very nice tan and colourful look to my face.
The only fruit consumed has been the required daily quote of 8 Oranges juiced spaced an hour apart. Occasional I supplemented the OJ with juices from young coconuts.
Taking my water distiller with me allowed constant supply of distilled clean water. However their water was filtered rain water, treated with UV. Great for showers.
Nearing the end of the fast I would include the occasional wheat grass to my coconut water, for added nutrient supply.
In the evening prior to bed I would consume 1 tbsp of Virgin Olive Oil.
I continued to use the De-wormer and in conjunction with three passes of the Russian Zapper, got to see loads of different parasites being driven out. Initially flukes, then ascaris, then pin worms. Probably more if I had the inclination to examine the material under a microscope.
Initially my energy level where rather low, taking huge effort to walk up the hill to our cottage. However I managed the occasional long two hour walk to a local waterfall.
Interestingly enough, thanx to the work of the LBB, I continued to eliminate daily, most days twice a day, and to my utter dismay, each occasion produced 3-400grams of old mud/mucus/car tyre type debris. At the end of 14 days I am STILL eliminating this stuff, thus its not all out. I am truly in awe at the amounts that came out, and also WHAT CAME OUT!!! No wonder I felt like crap. More wisdom in our words than we know. W e often use the term “I feel like shit”, more than likely because that’s what is circulating in our bloodstream.
I made use of the Russian Zapper to do three rounds. I didn’t have any of the serious humorous abreaction that others have reported. I was aware of it making its way through my gut. As mentioned above it brought out much mud, also brought out numerous parasites, particularly on the first pass.
The first pass, it came out in 36 hours. The second came out in 48 hours, and the third also in 48 hours. I am sure that as my bowel continues to clear, that this transit time will improve.
Taking my PH any time in the day reveals a ph of just under 7.0 for both urine and saliva, which is a far cry from when I started. Strangely enough now, each morning upon arising, my urine is around 7, and saliva 5.8. The low saliva tells me the state of my alkaline mineral reserve, which I believe to be low, but not sure what the high urine ph means. Perhaps its an indication that less acidity is been thrown of in the night, the fact that its high tells me much acid has already been thrown off., Could this be an clue to progress having been made. Now to replenish the Alkaline mineral reserves with molasses/apple cider vinegar drinks , wheat grass etc etc.
My Weight started at a skinny 6ft 3, and 62kg, and as of this morning was down to 58kg, (128lbs) I look almost anorexic, however feel that it was a worthwhile cause. I hope that with improved diet and eating that this weight will slowly build up again, particularly if the intestine is cleaner and capable of absorbing its nutrients in a better fashion.
I’m still using the LBB to ensure daily eliminations. I’m finding that it takes 4 LBB capsules at midday and 4 at dinner time, along with 1 every hour to keep my bowel moving. If it doesnt move, within hours I feel all the groggy symptoms starting up, telling me that toxic build up was part of the cause of my initial distress.
I intend using the above quote of LBB, until I see improvement and then SLOWLY reducing the doses.
I will keep drinking the OJ in the morning and supplement it worth perhaps one fruit type until lunch, and then have a slightly larger fruit/nut/salad meal, followed by a largish evening meal, adhering the 4 principles in Hays book. Seeing the mud coming out of me makes me realize the IMPORTANCE of food combining!!!
My thinking has changed over the last month to believe that RAW HUMAN FOOD is the way to go. A huge paradigm shift occurring for me from a subconscious level.
Having taken a couple of yoga classes over the last 14 days , I believe this a great way to builds up strength and stamina. Thus will incorporate this into my daily routine.
Daily skin brushing with a natural brush, along with a daily quote of sunshine has brought a lovely glow back to my now tanned skin. Leaves my skin looking and feeling much healthier.
On our last night in Thailand we stayed a night in the Mariiot hotel, and I was nauseated to see what people pile on their plates for breakfast! No wonder they look like they do. What a waste of youth. We have truly become gluttons as we have supposedly advanced as a civilization.
In Thailand I found Thai massages great in assisting the flow of lymph and toxin out of the body. The Japanese Apuku massage, abdominal in nature has been the greatest benefit is helping to balance the bowel energies.
The days have been passed reading 108 material, the works of Dr William Hay “Health Via Food”, and Arnold Ehrets book “Mucus less Diet”. Both Brilliant reads, stating a similar message.
“Natures First Law”, an interesting read on raw food, drummed out the same valid message that cooked food is poisoned.
The Book “Naturalcures” surfaced an awareness of how the big corporations lace their food with addictive agents, all in the name of sucking money out of the unwary mass, creating and driving by their addiction.
The reality is that the body needs very little to get by on.
When fasted via fruit juice fast as I did, or a pure water faste it goes into a serious NATURAL detox mode, until such time that solid food once again passes ones lips. During this time it begins a purifying process.
The book
In closing I would like to express my sincere appreciation to MH for making the Herbs and knowledge available. I believe I am on my way, implementing good habits, to achieving a wonderfull level of health for years to come.
I am also truly grateful to my beautiful girlfriend Rebekah for her patience and open mindedness over the last couple of months as I have worked through the cause of my distress. She accompanied me to Thailand and bravely undertook a 7 days faste with Russian zapper/dewormer and LBB. She is seeing some amazing results. Her support, companionship, and stimulating conversation through all of this has truly helped me in keeping me on track.
