Wow, that's really amazing. I never knew that about fasting. I am going to have to read up on that a lot more. I hope Melbo chimes in about his experience. Once of my biggest fears is losing too much muscle mass.
Sorry about that, Not sure what happened but I just re-uploaded another copy. Try it again. As far as further exposition on my experience, I promise I'll get to all your questions. Been slammed with a few other things right now. Read the Devries book first, it's short and answers a lot of these questions.
Easing into a water only fast can help you deal with g.i./bowel issues. Having a tongue scrapper [a dental health tool to clean your tongue] can help with the white coating that can get very thick and irritating. Some friends have used metamucil/fiber with their water fast to keep their bowels moving during ultra long fasts. I have been cautious about fasting after a friend broke her fast too quickly with the wrong proportation and types of foods. She ended up becoming very ill and it took many months for her g.i./bowels to recover. Some folks will use a short juice then water fast prior to a colon cleansing treatment. My question for Melbo is "How did your urine look and smell?" I have a friend who insists that our urine can be read for illness and toxicity. And that a truly healthy person has essentially clear urine and that one should void their bladders at least ten times a day. Have you heard about this train of thought? Thanks, Sis
