Re: Need some input on my fast
Centinel,
thought I'd leave this one for someone else to answer but with no other replies...........
Q. Is it ok to brush my teeth with toothpaste? I have some Arm and Hammer baking soda w/ peroxide.
A. Best to brush with water only as any taste sensation will stimulate the saliva and "prepare" the digestive system for nourishment. Not recommended to use toothpaste.
FOR THE BAD TASTE....................

Q. What about using an enema? I was going to use a standard enema with sodium phosphate, but thought twice, I know a bag with filtered water is good, but is the fleet enema a worry?
A. Enemas are mostly pointless and enervating/debilitating to those who use them, (unless suffering from extreme constipation prior to the fast) and especially so while fasting; this was the experience of Qualified Natural Hygienists from the inception of NH.
THE ENEMA DURING THE FAST..................

Q. Lastly, I had a loose BM last night, is that normal on day 11?
A. BM's can occur at anytime during a fast which is quite normal in some individuals, but for the most part the bowels shut-down as in my own case on two extended fasts.

"I plan on continuing the fast until hunger resumes, or some contraindicated symptom appears".
Make sure that you rest as much as possible, and above all..........listen to your body; take BP readings daily on rising, and the rate of your pulse at the same time.
