Hello everyone,
My second
Water Fast began today. Last time I did a 9 day water fast, which had great benefits, and I'd like to do it again (with a much greater emphasis on proper refeeding).
However, last time I had a lot of bad detox effects, most of which started after I stopped taking a crushed multivitamin (on the board's advice). I'm apprehensive about experiencing the same vomiting and back pain again. Also, I have one morning and one evening medication which I must take orally; I cannot avoid taking these, the effects of stopping are wretched. Will my having to take these medications harm my fast, or worsen any detox effects? Will taking baking soda in water break my fast, when the nausea gets bad?
Also, last time I experienced low body temperatures, and we're having extremely low temperatures in my area (the high was -3 yesterday, without factoring in windchill). How doomed am I?
Anyway, I'm grateful that this board exists. The support on my first fast was invaluable. Hopefully as the light-and-free-ness I experienced last time kicks in I'll have a more positive outlook. :)
Thanks for your responses!
