Re: Minerals & Water Fasting : Avoiding Death
It sounds like this is your first fast. Loren Lockman is right. You do not need to supplement in any way while you are fasting. You should not put anything in your mouth but water. No teeth brushing, no chewing gum, no mints, no mouth washes, etc. Read posts here to educate yourself about fasting. Setting a high goal is setting up yourself for failure. You will not die, I can assure you, if you follow simple rules. You can drink distilled or filtered water.
I am glad that you want to fast and change your eating lifestyle and you are only 18, awesome. So welcome aboard.
My suggestion is take a day at a time and see how it goes for the first fast. First few days are hard then it gets easier. Another way to detox and go into healthy eating lifestyle is juicing. You can make freshly squeezed juices everyday and just drink juices.
I wish you luck. You are on the right track of going towards raw veganism.
