Re: Length of fast for healing
I also have hypo, and want to fast for same reason. Bluegreen on this forum, said it took her 9 months, eating mosting raw, and she did one 17 day fast, and two 10 day fasts i believe, to overcome her hypothyroidism. But as Chris says, we are all different, and would depend on your current nutritional state etc.
I would like to go 3 weeks, but in a book i read, it says normal weight people should only do two weeks, but opinions differ on this. I will go as long as i can, it might have to be several 10 days fasts.
Also it is recommended you come of medication, so not to confuse the healing process of the thyroid/endocrine balance. In the book i'm reading 'Furhman' he used to cut medication in half before fast, and then monitor. It depends on the severity of your hypo. Are you on Armour or synthetics?
I will be fasting beginning of April or maybe sooner.
