Yup, read most all of Braggs book and yup, did many short fasts and yup, did many longer fasts on distilled water only. Your reading way too much into my post which is basically stay away from Water Fasting and any fasting without colon and Liver Cleansing first. Then an individual can determine the why's and wherefore's of their fasting lifestyle after much experience. On the 21 day fast I was weak at the end, never said in the beginning. Also, I was honest about trying Bragg's lifestyle but never achieving his stated slogan of "painless, tireless, ageless body". From what I gather neither did you. Also I never instructed anyone to start out with a longer fast just stated that I would not recommend going more than 10 days on water alone and certainly not without other forms of cleansing first. And another important point regarding fasting is that juice fasting achieves the same benefits without near as much strain(as also mentioned in passing). In fact, many newbies use juice type fasting with mineral broths combined with colonics or colema boards and report doing great on longer fasts. As you know,the Fasting Debate rages on.

In 2001 I completed all of the Richard Anderson's cleanse spending 22 days on the Master phase, eliminating huge amounts of MP and being tireless during the process, working my normal 10 hour day. That was at least 25 years post my Bragg experiences, unlike you who stated didn't do so well 30 years later. I think we can all gain something from everyone trials, and although I won't go into detail about the RA cleanse, good or bad, all experiences are valuable for learning.

Some guru bubble bursting info can be had on Chet Days's site, where I learned about Braggs fondness for animal protein, much more than his stated "my body telegraphs me when it needs meat" rhetoric.

Regarding FIR, again it's FIR (Far-Infrared-Sauna) with sauna not just FIR (Far-Infrared-Sauna) with any device. It's also a huge amount of information put out by a equally huge marketing machine for expensive saunas that in no way ever started with sauna. Common sense will indicate that in order to heat an area the size of a closet or small room is going to take a lot of heat and not just FIR. Why do you think HTE sells the hothouse unit and other smaller units abound. As one poster stated, there's possibly cheaper and equally satisfactory way, I don't know. He seemed very experienced and stated he no longer uses his Healthmate either - go ask him. Maybe it's a bad manufacturing job, don't know.

Regarding my FIR (Far-Infrared-Sauna) sauna use, yes I understand, extrapolating that my going up to 140 degrees at times means I don't use it properly is your spin. I'm sure the devices are much better today then they were when I purchased the Healthmate 5-6 years ago, but I'm also convinced that a handheld FIR device, is cheaper, more effective and is cost-effective to upgrade in the long run. In your view because I don't think FIR sauna has been proven at a level that matches the marketing machine, nor based on personal experience is any better or worse than conventional hot therapies I must not be doing it right or reading the "correct" literature is again, shooting the messenger. Like another poster who cut and pasted all the standard market literature and many un-controlled studies, it does little to help an uninformed individual make the right choice.

I've got a sauna manufactured at least 5-6 years ago, in technology world that's ancient, but back then there wasn't anything else.

<Alkaline Water this loosens and flushes the toxins out of your body>>

How many ways are there to releases deep toxins - many and many are just as effective if not more so than FIR sauna. The volume of FIR devices sold would not be the sauna units, but more the handhelds, mats, and the HTE type hothouse, which aren't designed as sweat machines. The whole FIR sauna and toxin issue is highly debatable subject, I'm sure it release many toxins, but so does any sauna and hot therapy in general.

Thanks for sharing and good luck to you and your health odyssey!
