Why you should consider fasting... (Again i am not a doctor ir scientist. Just sharing from other sources, referenced and linked below) From  Web MD "Fuhrman, who has supervised hundreds of patients' fasts for medicinal purposes, disagrees. "We know that the body is unable to rid itself of toxins when we eat a diet low in  nutrients ," and that applies to most Americans, even those who think they are healthy, he says. "Americans eat 51% of their diet from processed foods and foods low in phytochemicals and  antioxidants ," he says. "So you see a buildup of waste products in the cells -- AGE, advanced glycation end products -- that build up in cellular tissues and lead to  atherosclerosis , aging,  diabetes ,  nerve damage , and the deterioration of organs. This is basic science and physiology every doctor learns in medical school."..... "Fasting allows the body to most effectively remove these waste products," he says. "T...

My reasons for fasting are simple and complex all at the same time. There is no single reason greater than another that i decided to take on this fast, except that as i prayed a out what to do about many issues i will discuss in a moment, the feeling was strong that I should fast. And as I prayed to know for how long. 40 days came to my mind and it felt right. So let me tell you what brought me to this point... In early 2013 i spent several month caring fir and watching a man I didn't know but a few months, but loved already, pass away. The day after he passed, my teen nephew who had been staying with me, and I felt like he was a son. Broke my heart and left. With no reason or excuse. The timing was bad, I was an emotional wreck. The next 2 years caring for his wife, who became a very close friend like another mother. These two years became very stressful, and i lived on pepsi and beef jerky a lot. Towards the end, her care became completely on my shoulders, as she was un...

            I will write other posts on the why, and how of extended fasting. This post is exclusively a journal of my journey. TUESDAY, APRIL 25TH, 2017, 11:59 PM             This is my official start. For the last three days I have been preparing for the journey by progressively eating less solid foods, citrus fruits, then just juice.             From this point on, I will only drink water, lemon water, Himalayan sea salt, and an occasional bullion beef or chicken broth if feeling my electrolytes are off.           I have installed a counter on my phone to help me keep track of days, and to give myself encouragement​. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 26TH, 2017 11:30PM            Day one. This is a breeze, not hungry, feeling driven and full of confidence. Not my first time fasting for a day or more, so i expect the first couple to be easy.  ...
