I believe it was November when i felt strongly that it was time to fast again. Unfortunately i was too busy with work at the time and was thus unable. I continued to eat with immense nutrition (including many vitamixed smoothies each day), and to engage in short duration high intensity cardio, perhaps 200 of these over the past 12 months, each of which i believe made me just a little bit healthier.
Then about 6 weeks ago, tragedy struck. In each of my 200 intense cardio sessions, each time without exception, my legs tired before my heart and the % of max heart rate i reached pushing as hard as i could in each workout was generally between 90-95%, never above 98%. About 6 weeks ago i took a run with extremely well rested legs for running having done other types of cardio over the past month to rest my knees... and before i realized what was happening, i looked at my monitor and saw 102% :(. At this point i slowed down but it was too late and substantial damage had been done.
For the first 3 hours after i walked inside, my heartrate which normally would have returned to about 60-65 bpm sitting (about 50 laying down) within no more than 3-5 minutes was holding steady at a racing pace of 100 bpm while laying down. I felt i nearly fainted a couple of times, but just tried to relax. Finally after about 3 hours, the rate went down to 90bpm, then after about another hour it was down to 80. Still about 30bpm over what it would normally have been laying down, but i was beginning to feel considerable relief at the progress i was making.
That night as i went to sleep, i experienced something i had never known before... a resting heart that would begin to race. To a person who has never experienced this, it felt like my very life was hanging on a thread. Several nights i went to sleep wondering if i was going to wake up.
Over the next few days, throughout the day and at bedtime i was repeatedly exposed to this unnerving experience. After a couple of days i had grown accustomed to it and was considerably less concerned about it, having as well by then read that this is common and generally harmless... and finally after about 4-5 days, the racing heart rate finally stopped appearing and hasn't returned since. The cessation of the intermittent racing heart was to me the 2nd stage of major improvement in my situation, the first being 3 hours after the run when my heart rate finally went from 100 to 90.
Since then i thought i was home free, but my heart has continued to be sore and weak over the following 5 weeks or so. I can barely walk up my (uphill) driveway without straining it.
When the problem first arose, i thought i had better continue eating for a while in case it was somehow electrolyte related and this is what i did. After the initial two breakthroughs, there has been about 5 weeks with seemingly no improvement.
4.6 days ago based upon the condition of my heart, i decided to begin my next fast, strongly believing that no other course of action could bring healing to my heart as effectively or as swiftly. Before the incident, i had been excitedly yearning to fast again, eager to further perfect my health, perhaps achieving the elimination of all toxemia in a 2nd fast to completion, but now i had what was perhaps a life or death reason to pursue this endeavor... or at least an "i want to walk up my driveway without making my heart hurt" reason.
I Lead into this fast with about 16 ounces of carrot/beet/celery juice daily over the past 2 months as a part of my overall healthful diet, a successful gallbladder flush about 2 months ago and about 4 days of coffee enemas (also about 2 months ago) to stimulate cleansing of the liver.
In any case, the fast is underway and i am feeling good. The heart is still weak and i expect it to take many many days of fasting to heal (perhaps the heart will not be healed until i have fasted to completion, and this only if the completion is of the clean tongue variety).
Relaxing as much as possible, exercising only gently (2 minutes of mini-trampoline 7-10 times per day, feet never leaving the platform) and only with the intent of moving the lymphs to aid in the process of detox, keeping heartrate below 50% of max.
drinking only to thirst, only distilled water, and when i am not sure whether or not i am thirsty, i am not drinking until the feeling of thirst is more pronounced and convincing. With actual thirst, when i drink it is tremendously enjoyable. I never feel i have to force it down or gag on it, and it never makes my stomach feel uneasy. I would say i have been averaging 2-4 cups per day. deeper into the fast i anticipate even less need than this to satisfy thirst, perhaps 1-2 cups per day.
Though i view weight loss as an unimportant and over-emphasized aspect of a fast since so much of it is temporary water loss, i will endulge those who may be interested. Starting weight: 182, current weight 174. What is important (to me and i would think should be to everybody) is actual fat loss and i will estimate this at about 1.5 pounds so far. Water loss is about 6.5 pounds.
As with my previous fast of about 9 months ago (which went 30 days), I plan to fast to completion and i hope this time to encounter a clean tongue to accompany the ferocious return of genuine hunger... (In the last fast i had only the return to hunger signifying that i ran low on a key nutrient before achieving a total cleanse.)
Coasting at this point, enjoying each moment, and i believe the hunger i felt in the first 3 days is behind me with one of the strongest appetite suppressants known to man now in place (ketosis).
Hi Trimnut,
Yes i believe i was very near to fasting about 6 weeks ago when this occured so it seems in all likelihood to have set me back.
"What created you initial heart weakness?
What remediation were you using?"
I believe before the moment i hit 102% of my max heart rate, my heart was in absolutely exemplary condition, especially having fasted to completion about 7.5 months earlier which increased it and my overall well being greatly.
Had my heart been in any way unhealthy before this moment, i don't believe i could have pushed so hard in the 200 previous cardio sessions over 12 months and felt so good during and afterwards and perhaps most importantly from a scientific perspective, i don't believe it would have been possible to have had the exceptional 50-58 bpm recovery after 1 minute rest each time. My heart's ability to recover so quickly from intense exercise was as clear evidence of an extremely healthy heart as there can be.
Now i am an anomoly. A guy with great health and overall fitness with the exception of a badly damaged heart.
Nevertheless, I remain highly optimistic that a fast to completion will heal it completely.
Thank you for your support and good wishes, it is very much appreciated

5.3 days now. So near to the first 7 days. 
Embracing the fasting symptoms which include feeling a little weak and having keto mouth. Last nite at bedtime i was feeling a minor aching in the backs of my upper legs. That's a new one for me. It's gone for now but i suspect i haven't seen the last of it. But on the positive side i am walking in an immense state of calm. Well all of it is positive to me since it all signifies that good things are happening.
Even if i decided i wanted to eat (which i almost certainly wouldn't anyway though the strong temptation is never far away), the seriousness of my heart condition is keeping me in the game, virtually assuring my cooperation until completion is achieved. My laying down relaxing heartrate would normally be about 40 at this stage in a fast, but it is now 60-63.
*****************************************************************************************
6.75 days now and the fast continues to go well.
Convinced of thirst, i just drank the first water in about 16 hours, so far 2 cups worth, and wow, that's really a special treat
. Yesterday for whatever reason, i was thirsty enough to drink 6 cups which was quite unexpected and is more than in any previous day where 2-4 cups satisfied thirst each time.
I was wrong... the upper rear leg aches haven't returned. Now i predict i'll not likely see them again. 
I noticed a fairly substantial change in my heart in the past 24 hours... until which time there was discomfort in and surrounding my heart whenever i tried to sleep on either side (i was able only to sleep on my back). Thus as of about 24 hours ago, the heart and the sore muscles around my heart, sore for the past 6 weeks are no longer sore.
Truly i recognize these developments as minor breakthroughs and i know my heart still has a long way to go in the path to healing. I just welcome and enjoy the little victories along the way. Thankfully time is on my side since i intend to fast until the return of genuine hunger, which in a resting fast as this one could end up being 30 or even 40 days. When i say resting fast, I am differentiating between the previous fast to completion in which i brisk walked 2 hours per day and encountered true hunger after 29 days and 16 hours... (then nearly went insane fighting this hunger for 8 hours to reach a nice round 30 days
).
A resting fast will better conserve the internal reserves, so assuming my reserves are comparable to what they were in the previous fast, they should last longer than 30 days. On the other hand, my heart rate is running wild and is likely a bigger factor than 2 hours of walking, so perhaps i will run out sooner
. On the third hand, if somehow i am able to fast to the elimination of all toxemia and the completion of all healing before the reserves deplete, there is no telling when that would be. In any case, i'm really not expecting it to be any less than 30 days based on the severity of my heart injury.
My heart rate is still considerably faster than it should be, i'm going to say about 20-25 beats per minute faster, whether standing, sitting or lying down. My heart rate monitor will be useful throughout the fast as this is something i intend to track. I am not a Heart specialist, but i suspect that the fast heart rate is one key piece of tangible evidence that my heart is still not healthy... and that the heart rate issue is a much more substantial challenge to overcome than the soreness.
Once my heart rate has returned to normal, something i am pretty optimistic to see by the end of this this fast, i expect my heart to be healed or very nearly so... at which point i look forward to nourishing it in every way i have been taught by Chrisb1. Then i will get it checked out by someone who actually is a heart specialist

Since the 32nd hour bm, there has been no bowel activity. Looking forward to whatever surprises my bowels have in store for me and i have no intention of doing any kind of enema throughout the journey, trusting that my bowels will release when the time is right.
Hey, more good news. I estimate about 2.5-3 pounds of fat has been burned as fuel in this time.
