LivingBlessed,
your very welcome.
Two updates to Sheltons Vol III of his seven Volume work on Natural Hygiene written later in his life are.....
#1.
Fasting Can Save Your Life
#2. Fasting For Renewal of Life.
In his early career, Dr
Shelton singlehandedly revived Natural Hygiene from the pioneers by collating the works of Russell Thacker Trall MD, Isaac Jennings MD, Sylvester Graham, Mary Gove, Thomas Low Nichols MD, James C Jackson, MD, Harriet Austin MD, Charles E Page MD, Susanna Way Dodds MD, Robert Walter MD, Felix Oswald MD, and John H Tilden MD, and others, into one monumental work entitled: HUMAN LIFE, its PHILOSOPHY and LAWS of which I have a rare hardcover.
Shelton was a man of principle, which is a rare commodity in this day and age.
The greatest pioneer of them all (after Isaac Jennings MD and Sylvester Graham) was John Tilden MD who wrote a number of books still obtainable today, one of which formulated the concept of the causation of all disease: TOXEMIA EXPLAINED and written as an online book..........

Twisting stomach cramps on your second day?: most likely caused by the withdrawal of the stimulation of food generally, and other stimulants such as coffee, tea, caffeine withdrawal, alcohol, white flour products and so on: even if taken only in small quantities previously. If this happens again I would drink a little more water to soothe & wash away the leftover stomach acid which can also be a cause of the problem.
The more informed you are about the fast and its progress before commencing one, the better: forewarned is forearmed.
I am also led to believe that many people believe that fasting is just the abstention from food, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Warm Regards
