That's a good point Matrix, about chewing the solid to a liquid. That's something most of us forget to do.
The main thing is not go give up on the fast altogether. We don't need to be purists about it. It's more important to pay attention to what our body is telling us IMO. If a person gets overwhelmed by too many toxins and too much mucus that can't get eliminated, it can be dangerous.
The longest I've fasted so far is 21 days. How about yourself, how long have you fasted for?
