Notes on fasting

I want to quote a website that speaks on fasting using only water because it is a really good source but I just want to mention a few things it said.



Distilled water is the best for cleansing because of its inherent, magnetic properties and ability to absorb and suspend large quantities of toxins, flushing them from the body. The perceived value of mineral water is misleading because the inorganic minerals are like huge boulders to the cellular membranes, making them impossible to assimilate.

I think this is pretty fascinating. The magnetic properties of water without minerals are increased. So I bought two gallons of distilled water.

What about herbs? I have been drinking herbal tea. Peach Detox and Easy goes It. I gave up meat three weeks ago but not coffee or alcohol, so I had some sick headaches to deal with yesterday.



"There are no calories or nutritional value in water. On a water fast you have given your body no options but to turn to itself for fuel. This can create a problem when you have spent years depositing counterfeit fuel. Living exclusively on dirty fuel during a fast takes tremendous courage & strength. To ease into water fasting some recommend juice fasting with periods of water fasting. For example 3 days on juice, 2 days on water, 5 days on juice, then 3 days on water. You can juice when you have to work and water fast on the weekend when you can rest. "



This is a pretty good cleanse, and you have plenty of energy and emotional release. I originally intended to break the water fast with juice and the master cleanse.
Vamos a ver.

Master Cleanse Fast
The Master Cleanse or Lemon Cleanse is between a water fast and a juice fast. Basically it consists of drinking a mixture of freshly squeezed lemons, water and maple syrup for a period of 8 to 40 days. It is easier to do than a water fast because you are still getting nutrients and energy from the lemons and the maple syrup. This fast can be done while still maintaining your normal work, yet is less calories than what you would get from a juice fast. It is normal to lose weight on this fast and it is excellent for cleansing the colon. For full details on how to do this fast see the following link: Stanley Boroughs Master Cleanse "

Actually I folded over a cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin.

So sad, so delicious.
