Advice for first-timer

Hi,

I want to Water Fast to experience some healing and for religious reasons, but this would be my first time and would like some advice.

I drank only cooked vegetable juice yesterday and am wondering how many days I should drink just juice before I start a water fast. I heard that by drinking juice before the Water Fast reduces the uncomfortable symptoms of the water fast.

School starts January 4, so I would like to finish my fast by then. I'm wondering what schedule I should take - how many days of juice and how many days of water fast.

I'm also on medication for schizophrenia, depression, and anxiety. I'm thinking of taking the medication during the fast because I need them. I'm going to ask my psychiatrist on Monday, but I feel he'll say I shouldn't water fast. Tweet
