i am not hungry anymore, distilled water satisfies me. i am having pains in parts of my body though, which i take is a healing effect...feels like broken ribs and needles.

oh, i am quite thin but i haven't lost any muscle mass, only much more toned now.

here's some fasting info;

Are you allowed to eat pussy on this fast?  Man, I would die if I couldn't eat that for a whole month![/size] 

[:MoD:Shade]

That website is...interesting...

Are you fasting for religious reasons as well Bronto?

[Mr.Mellow]

Stay strong, Brontho. First two days are definitely awful, but then it gets pretty easy, or so I hear. Sexiful parasites lol. I'm drinking this Guinness just for you.

i could, but i think that would destroy my sense of spirituality atm...i'm not really planning on going out while i'm doing this. although fasting is a good way to boost your skills, your energy level is through the roof and you're in complete control of your functions.

shade, i am not doing this for religious purpose, it is for healing my body back to it's original state of health and perfection. i don't even have a religion actually.

ty for support mellow. i am on day 3 and i haven't felt hungry since yesterday afternoon.

keep us posted bronto!  I hope you told friends about this btw so they could come by and check that you are still ok, in case of some FREAK accident.

[bronto]

people know i'm doing it. people have died fasting with only water, not orange juice. orange juice isn't considered a 'real' fast, but it has been used for healing on many many people. i still get all the energy my body needs, and apparently the potassium is the main factor. i do intend to do a water fast if all goes well with this.

anyway, it's day 4 and i have perfected my methods. i don't know when i will know if it is working, hopefully soon. i still have a bit of pain, and when i go to sleep my bowel area seems to be having a lot of action...i also noticed my heart was in pain last night as well. all's well other then that.

[DarK.]

remember bronto dont go to far, you dont wanna die by pushing it too far buddy (who knew I had a caring side)

[bronto]

day 11. still alive.

[(SiX)Sheixhundt]

Yes, but how do you feel??
Drop us a line on your observations...progress etc...please.
Im curious.

Pay attention to your body...if all feels well, then by all means, continue, but if you get signs...LISTEN for gods sake.  I would consult an actual (NOT holistic physician) for his thoughts if you still plan on the true hard-core water diet. Ive had two friends end up pretty sick from overdoing it. (not sure how exactly, but not good)

Good luck
(and I hope you didnt have major illness to begin with..but if you did..good vibes to you there, too)

OK, since yer not doing this to lose weight I won't scorn you, b/c as a Fitness Consultant, I will tell you right now, if losing weight was the goal you are doing it all wrong.

Having said that, I would seriously watch what you are doing considering you have some kind of health problem.  I respect your privacy, but if you care to share with me your problem (via PM) I could be better informed to help you.  In addition, I would do exactly what Sheix said and at least discuss this with yer family Dr., even if he disagrees with yer methods, he cannot stop you, but I would listen to him/her if I were you.

Also, the idea of cleansing the body is correct, but only if your someone who has a predisposition to a health problem that causes fluctuations is certain things to abnormal levels, ie. pH balance, K+ & Na2+ levels, etc OR if you are someone who doesn't maintain a healthy lifestyle including that of exercise & diet.  In addition, generally the fasting lasts only for 1-2 days and its only with drinking water, this is sufficient to clearling your system out.  For more detailed filtering, I would consult a physician (ie. MD or ND but not holistic IMO).

Now having the general info out of the way, lets dicusss your present state of sign & symptoms.  You are already expreriencing pain and discomfort, this is a sure sign, excluding info I don't know regarding your health, that you should definetly talk to your Dr.  Pain is a feedback mechanism telling you something "may" be wrong, its not the effects of healing (again without knowing your beginning health state) and DO NOT use the philosophy of "no pain - no gain" there are still coaches out there that employ this method of training and these coaches deserve to have charges brought against them.

Moreover, there is something else you can do.  Drink Gatorade (original formula) as it contains plenty of electrolytes (K & Na) which is what you discussed already, but I would not do any form of exercise, as that eliminates electrolytes through your sweat, and then consuming gatorade is NOT a good idea as your system then goes into electrolytic shock b/c you then consume high concentrated volumes of electrolytes that are in the gatorade.

Furthermore, the head trip you mention can be a combination of different things:

1) your current state of health (seek consultation from Dr.)
2) you are hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) b/c yer not eating anything which is expected but if you feel fine when you are standing throughout the day then chances are its most likely #3
3) It is a normal reaction everyone has when standing up from a lying down position.  Its called Reactive Hypotention or Orthostatic Pressure.  What happens is taht when you are lying down your blood is concentrated all over your body but when you abruptly stand up (say to grab the ringing phone or whatever) the majority of the blood due to gravity and force gets pooled to your lower body and less remains in your brain.  You may then notice that you get dizzy or go blind for a few seconds and see only black then slowly your vision comes back (within like 3-5 seconds); this is b/c your Baro-receptors (Carotid Arteries) located on the sides of yer neck being to do its job and pump the blood back to yer brain, as that is its function.

Hope this may shed some light, not trying to lecture you, but for myself knowing more seems to ease my anxiety, but to be safe I would consult your Dr.  Good Luck.

I appreciate the concern, but I can assure you I have educated myself thoroughly on the subject of fasting for health. what I'm doing is actually the standard for the fasting clinics all over europe. i'm actually feeling so good now, i'm shooting for 40 days. that's pretty much all the time my body would need to completely autolyse itself. my health conditions aren't serious at all.

in fasting, pain, nausea, headaches, lightheadedness are all symptoms of detox and healing, so i had expectations of certain pains (really dull aches more like). it's a feeling that you could distinguish from bad pain.

once again, thanks for the concern, but i've taken everything into account before proceeding.

Stay safe my beautiful burro.

i broke my fast yesterday (13 days) and shaved my haggard beard. i think i've never looked healthier, i have ZERO fat and my muscles are more toned then ever. my facial features became a little more gaunt and defined, my girlfriend likes it but i think i look like a twat. anyway, i'm making ready to fast for another 14 days very soon, but for the time being, i'm back to raw food. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

if anyone here is interested in fasting for health, i can tell you exactly what to do.
