Re: Flu, Cold Symptoms or seasonal allergies, etc?
peacelovinggirl, I am too starting on the fasting journey. I have done a 64 hours OJ fast and a 45 hours Lemon fast. My job requires mental alertness and I became a vegetable very quickly. My lungs were hurthing and full of mucus like I was going to have a Bronchitis (like the severe one I had last Oct. for an entire month!!!!!). I am raw vegan since last December (very new for me), but you are right about the slightest deviation ... we are "stuck" between a rock and a hard place. What other solution is out there for self-healing? NOTHING!!!!! So until we remove all obstruction and regain our Vitality, I think I am up for years and years of detox ...
You are right about your body and taste buds CRAVING the good stuff. Never in my life I have enjoyed the fruit sugar, the sun in them, along with some raw green leaf vegetables! It is so exciting! I cannot believe that you can do 21 days juice fasting ... I would be hospitalized based on the past few experiences I had with fasting. I am planning to improve though ... the raw diet will get me there I am sure.
What gives me the most pleasure right now, is to see my 18 months daughter asking me for the green smoothie!!! She eats the best diet in he world right now ... from dehydrated crackers with squash hummus, to fresh apples, and green smoothies twice a day (with some algae in it and other good stuff). When she was younger, she saw us with poison foods and she asked for them and we were giving it to them ... it broke my heart because I knew better that to give her Plastic food from McDo for example. Now I am so glad that she can have the great start in life we did not have!!!! Beautiful to see her "green" mustache after she is finished. She already have a glow, her skin is so radiant. And she is making noise while sipping on it and she takes her glass with 2 strong hands like it is precious stuff. Kids have this instinct of what is good for them!!!!!!
Let's be kids again!
Sante!
