Hello all,
This is my 24th day of a water fast. I have done a few in the past, only one semi-lengthy one, 21 days that time. I was relieved to stop last time because the very worst part for me them was the awful taste in my mouth! That was about two years ago. When I embarked on this fast, I expected this bad taste, remembering that it was pretty mindbending. It has once again been the most trying aspect of this fast. I have been noticing this time though, with so much time on my hands, that there are two distinct bad tastes that fill my mouth. One is very sour and I can tell when it comes out of my salivary glands, almost like vinegar. The other is a general "funk", kind of sweet, disgusting pervading taste.
They are both much less, just when I was on the verge of giving up, I prayed that God would heal my GI tract, and the vinegar taste immediately began to diminish. Not to get too much into my personal prayer life, that's just the order of events. Anyway, I was so surprised by the change, because I hadn't let my cleansing go this far last time. Hurray! I am taking heart also that the
Acne that I have had ever since I became and adult, is clearing. That's enough to tough it out for a couple more weeks if need be! So I say now. I could actually use a lot of encouragement. :)
Now that the tastes have begun diminishing I wake each morning expecting them to be gone! Along with my
Body Odor , etc. I keep thinking it's all downhill from here. Perhaps not. For me, having an idea of what to picture going on in my body is quite encouraging. The information I've read so far on this forum has been a great boost. I know this may be a leap in light of the limited fasting research done so far. Does anyone know where I could find what different chemicals taste like, or what different things taste like as they exit the body. I would love to know what is happening to me right now. Thanks for anything!
