Re: Day 14 water fast

Congratulations on completion of 14 days of water fast!

Here is what Dr. Shelton said about breaking fast......

"The care that must be exercised in breaking a fast is in proportion to the length of the fast and to the general condition of the fasting individual. The approved plan is to break the fast on liquid food, using for this purpose fruit juice, or tomato juice, or Watermelon juice, or vegetable broths. Fruit juice--usually orange juice--is used most often.

Orange juice, grapefruit juice, or fresh tomato juice are excellent with which to break a fast. Watermelon juice or the juice of the fresh pineapple or of fresh grapes may also be used. A half a glass may be given at the start. After an hour, another half glass may be given. Juice may be given every hour the first day. The second day a whole glass of juice every two hours may be employed. On the third and fourth days give the whole orange or grapefruit and on the fifth day other foods may be added. Large meals should not be attempted in less than a week. These instructions are for the long fast. A short fast requires less care in breaking and is usually followed for several days by an eliminating diet."

I have been to several Dr. Furhman seminars. He has similar thing to say.....

"Break your fast with citrus fruit, even better with organic lemon juice in half a cup water. Lemon juice is a great balancer pH in your stomach. After a few days of fruits introduce raw vegetables, but very slowly. Increase your food intake gradually. You should do this for days equal to your fasting days. Your lifestyle needs to change from here on, eat one pound of raw vegetables, one pound of cooked vegetables and 4 fruits, one cup of beans, some nuts and seeds everyday. If you eat this the disease will stay away fom you."

Hopefully this helps.

Keep us posted about your progress.
