Broke a 28 day water fast today
Wanted to go a little longer, but my body was telling me it was over. As opposed to my last lengthy fast when I was about 1/2 my present 64 yrs of age. I lost energy instead of getting more. Not sure if it was the age or the fact that between the metals and candidiases that I was trying to get rid of this time it took everything out of me.
My last 21 day fast I started gaining energy on the 5th day. At the time, I was working a minimum 8 hrs of heavy work every day. After the 5th day I could hardly wait to get home to go run 21/2 to 3 miles at a good 7 minute mile. I just couldn't seem to run down. Not only that, I could take my family out to dinner and be content to sit there and drink water while they ate.
This time was totally different. This last week, all I thought about was food, and the dishes that I was going to make when I broke the fast. To the point where it was keeping me from going to sleep.
I did manage to lose 48 lbs, and my tongue was 98% free of the white coating. All my physical ailments seemed to have gone with the exception of the ringing in the ears, and that has subsided 80%. I understand that sinus infections can permenently damage the nerves in the ear so maybe that's why.
I don't know if I have eliminated the candidiases, but I plan on continuing with the
Clarkia tincture, the liver flush, as well as the Flora balance and Probiotics. Also I plan on fasting 1 day every week or so and maybe a 3 or 4 day fast every 2 months.
The hardest part is ahead of me. That is changing my way of eating and the amount that I eat. There are some incentives that keep you going. Mainly, being able to dig out those clothes of yesteryear and seeing that they fit. I will have to buy many new clothes. My Christmas present to myself I guess.
All and all a grat experience. Whatever all of you are doing I hope all goes well and that you make your goals.
PS:
Contrary to what some have posted here about having to take salt or your blood pressure and heart rate will go up, I drank only Distilled water and did not have any salt for the 28 days. My heart rate slowed down a little if anything and I had no high blood pressure.
I knew this from my last fast, but wanted to keep track of it this fast. Don't believe everything you read by people who make statements of fact without showing any source.
