Thanks Gill, for your encouragement! Well, yesterday, I was sick, sick sick! I must be terribly toxic. During the day I did a lemon juice enema. That helped some. My headache was so bad that last night I had to eat a few crackers and a piece of bread and wimp as I am take some asprin. This morning I drank the quart of saltwater. It has been very cleansing. I think I may eat some raw fruits and veggies and try again. I see that I am going to have to do this very slow and build up. I just wonder what these anti-depressants are doing to me! If they are a big play in being so sick. Prior to the fast I had a swollen knot (maybe gland, but did not seem to be the same spot) right below my right ear. Very painful to touch and seemed to have fever. I used some lemon theraputic essential oil and it seemed to recede, but that whole right side of my face, head and neck hurt like the dickens yesterday. Today not near as bad, my ear is stopped up. My neck is still sore, like sore muscles around my ear. Do I need to be concerned about this? I am open to any feedback.
