Re: Water Fast-Day 2

Hi Hopinso,

I've been preparing to do a deep fast for a while now and have been reading alot about fasting in the meantime, helping me with the preparation. The most informative and in depth book i have found on it is ''The Fasting Path'' by Stephen Harrod Buhner. It is only today that i read a section about quality of fruit to use if doing the lemonade juice fast (master cleanse), and also quality of water. He specifies in that to use the freshest, wildest spring water. To quote :

"Make sure you use only healthy spring water for your fast. Do not use distilled water. Distilled water has been technologically altered, and many of the minerals and nutrients have been removed. Do not use tap water. Use the healthiest, wildest, most natural water you can."

I thought i would pass this info on to you. I have never yet experienced a water fast, so cannot comment from personal experience what type of water is best, but i am finding that Stephen Buhner educates on fasting in an unbiased way. Being a master herbalist and expert on indigenous and contemplative spiritual traditions he is also experienced and knowledgeable.
