Hi, Cap23 Not being a doctor I wouldn’t make recomendations re: fasting with health issues. I will tell you that back in the late 60’s and early 70’s I was hospitalized for a bout of Ulcerative Colitis. After being treated with with drugs for a few days the doctor said I should have the offending colon removed. I would then have to deficate in a bag that was attached to the remaing colon and hang outside my body. There was no way in hell that I would agree to that. I was still young and very active, not only that, but lived you might say a little on the wild side. Anyw ...

Hello, Read your post and wanted to share my fasting experience. I was once over 400 pounds. I yo-yo fast on and off for years but I found when I did it for 23 straight days, I cured some of my ailments that medication could never do. My high blood pressure was gone. I had Uterine Fibroids, gone. I also had, believe it or not, periodontitis disease where I had deep pockets as deep as 9, 10, 11, and 12. I didn’t fast to cure that. It’s just when I went for my 4 month follow up with my dentist, he was amazed and asked what did I do because he had never seen healing of periodontitis ...

Hello LivingBlessed, There can be occasions in life that can provide a powerful impetus and motivating force in pursuing interests and subjects that have had a profound influence over you: in my own case, the recovery from Leukemia 30 years ago thru Natural Hygiene & Fasting, when Orthodox Medicine had failed me. From that time onwards I have had an almost zealous interest in those subjects and Nutrition in general, and have spent that time in educating myself in true health care and wellness generally. As a result of these years of study, I mainly have contempt for what passes off ...

So... update! I had to go back on high doses of chlorella during fasting. Emotional symptoms and rage came on very heavy around 21 days, so the chlorella was necessary to remove the mercury while fasting and keep my emotions stable. I fasted for 73 days total and only decided to stop after becoming pregnant and some personal family things happening meaning I was going without sleep and having to exert myself a lot. I began to feel sick and weak from it and decided (primarily because I was pregnant) that I would stop fasting. By the end of the fast, my tongue was normal s ...

Well I completed my 60 day fast. And honestly once my electrolyte problem was solved I felt that I could have gone further but 60 was plenty. I wasn’t physically hungry but my mind was telling me I needed calories. Also had to replace a zirconium filling and didn’t really want to be fasting while I was going through that. (I get chipped teeth every now and then from kickboxing even with my mouth guard) ANYWAYS... what I’ve noticed after refeeding is that I have a slight, [VERY slight] numb feeling in my pinky fingers and to an even lesser extent ring fingers.

Okay everyone...I got the news this morning. I did it ... I healed my Hashimotos. It started last year in March 2012 I did an extended fast and stopped taking my Synthroid. I spent the past 13 months doing water fasts between 5 - 10 days. I did not take my synthroid during this time frame. Last year April 2012 my TSH = 5.29 Today’s lab results TSH = 2.2 (normal range is 0.5-4.5) So my TSH is now within the normal range. I am so happy with Water fasting I can’t explain my excitement.

Hi, Sorry for confusion. I went through only one 21-7-21 fasting session. First 21 days were easy, except for the initial 3-4 days which were pure (PURE) HELL. Every single cell in my body screamed for food. I felt that my brain and body were bursting, attacking me both at the same time, trying to trick me to eat: at least a little bit of a juicy peach, or a tiny slice of a bread crust, etc. (Things that usually turned to a binge.) I had a HUGE emotional breakdown and felt like the miserabli-est mess in the world and cried and cried … you’ve got a picture. On the fourth or fifth day ...

I must have mentioned this recently because someone who has never posted PMd me and asked me how I did it. It’s a reasonable question to ask, so I thought I’d do a little post for all to see. OK, back in the autumn of 2007, I was a mess. I weighted 18 stone 8 pounds, that’s 260 pounds, or 118Kg. I was Body Mass Index 42.3, that’s what’s called ”morbidly obese”. I hurt my knee getting out of the car and that dragged on for months, I could hardly walk sometimes. My feet were swollen up and I was wearing 2 shoe sizes larger than what I am now. I couldn’t buy clothes that fitted me. I could ...

My fasts last year to lose the 40 of my 140 kgs were short to medium length. I started with a 5 day dry fast, then went to a 14 day water fast and then did a series of dry fasts, the longest being seven days. I also did a one or two more ten or eleven day fasts as well. Over three months I fasted half the days and the other half I ate mostly raw foods- more than 90% raw. Starting out obese and with depression as well and being a single father having to keep up with two active young kids the duration of the fasts was mostly cut short due to my wanting to stay active with my children.

Alright, so as you know, magnesium is one of the three major electrolytes we need to be replenishing on longer fasts. It’s imperative for heart function, muscle recovery, and a whole scroll of enzymes and bodily processes it assists. Recently, I pooped my pants because of it. Yup. Taking Magnesium ORALLY and WITHOUT FOOD induces diarrhea in a lot of people - me included. Why am I telling you this? Because for the last year, I’ve been FASTING. A LOT. And it REALLY helped heal my body in ways I couldn’t’ve fathomed before undertaking this journey. But one thing I always dreaded was ...

I used to have heartburn way back when. I took apple cider vinegar and that eliminated it ~10 yrs ago. Tums only makes it worse. Heartburn is usually not due to too much acid, its due to too little acid and the sphincter muscle at the bottom of the throat getting lazy and inflamed. ACV will cover the acid part till the muscle can recover and close properly. I used to take ACV on my water fasts along with vitamins and what not, but now a days I try not to unless I absolutely need it. Which I have not, but I’ve not done longer than 4 day fasts in a loooooooong time. Thanks. Srinath. ...

A very good friend of mine (aged 42) had absolutely shocking RA which pretty much shut down his otherwise very active and sports-driven life. Not even capable of doing the gardening that he loves. Though I personally don’t have RA, I watched in awe as my friend’s RA pretty much disappeared and he regained 100% of his previously active life back. He called it the Pattison Diet. From memory it was somewhere along the lines of the vegan diet you mentioned didn’t work but I’m unsure if there was more to it or not.

I was looking at the blogs and came across this one. http://curezone.com/blogs/fm.asp?i=1442954 It was refreshing to read about how great someone is doing that long after a fast. Usually I’ll come here and read all about how someone has messed up on their fast and gone right back into unhealthy eating patterns.  There are some who have done great after a fast but they are the minority not the majority. This is well worth the read, this faster had a happy outcome and is doing very well years later.   Willow   [End]

The body does renew the skin during an extended fast. The skin is an important part of the elimination system. I had stretch marks from my obesity before fasting last year and expected more stretch marks from losing the weight so quickly with fasting. The opposite happened in fact, my stretch marks all but disappeared- you just can’t see them unless you are really looking for them and moving the skin around a bit. My other scars have not healed completely, but have all faded to some degree. Fasting is definitely good for the skin. Andrew.   [End]

I hate to burst your bubble, but I am going to give you the blatant truth- like it or not. I have struggled with my weight for quite some time now. Over the past 6 months, I have experimented with fasting off and on thinking that it would be my ”magic” solution. While I did manage to lose some weight each time, it did NOT solve my problem. First of all, when you return to normal eating habits, you will gain most of it back. Second of all, everyone who is overweight is that way for a reason. There are emotional and psychological issues tied up in the weight issue. In my own experie ...

Hello everyone I have a couple of questions about water fasting, autophagy and muscle wasting. Preface: I have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, a hormonal imbalance which is common in women and leads to infertility. Basically, this means estrogen doesn’t work properly, more testosterone is produced, insulin resistance occurs. Higher chance of diabetes, heart disease, usually more weight, etc. I am lucky though, have it fairly mild in terms of weight, but my period was very irregular and my husband and I had trouble getting pregnant.

I was hypothyroid, with a visible swelling in the neck, (while never diagnosed per se, since I have long ago retired my doctor). Water fasting definitely played a significant part in ’resetting; or otherwise restoring the body’s innate intelligence; everything works better. Actual assimilation is so improved. No neck swelling...Before water fasting, I’d done supplementation, pH-balancing and re-mineraliztion via kelp, and other whole foods ways, etc. After water fasting, there are too many benefits to even recall. But assimilation is a huge factor--and water fasting can really change how t ...

Actually, I had a feeling a few times as if I will faint (fortunately I didn’t) but I realized it doesn’t make any sense pushing my limits any further. I lost total of 46 pounds. According to the (US) charts I’m still overweight 15 pounds, which is not bad, although, personally would like to lose 30 - 35 more. However, at this moment I feel as if I’m a model. I definitely gained confidence about my eating, and everything related to food. ...

I have been doing water fasting for the past two years. I have had several longer fasts (14 days and a 21 day). When I first started fasting I tried to continue with Crossfit. It didn’t go well. I was very weak, but I triumped through. Then I started reading more about the healing of the muscle mass, and this kind of strenuous exercise is actually depleting certain amino acids and other nutrients. I decided to not do Crossfit while fasting. On my 21 day water fast I was doing light walking or swimming (3-4x/week). I found this very helpful for me to minimize some of my toxic systems whi ...

There is no confusion. I had it happen to me and through research here is what I learned that I believe makes sense. The stomach wants to maintain a balance at roughly 4.0, which is pretty acidic. If your drinking alkaline water, and here is where I really learned to decrease my bloat, you are challenging your stomach to get back to 4.0 from an intake of 8.0 ph or better. With nothing to digest the stomach produces additional acid every time you drink ph water. Therefore an excess build of acid occurs and hurts, rather than helps the stomach. I found the best way to eliminate this is to dr ...
