Chris: Thank you and a question
Mighty,
an absolutely amazing achievement, so extremely well done thus far... Hear Hear, and bravo.
Thank you, thank you Chris :).
The healing of your heart should be completed this time around,...
Wow, that would be great. I can tell it's still not there at this point and there still seems to be a ways to go.
... but be careful not to push yourself too far: one day at a time, and only one day at a time.
I will be careful and actually i am taking this an hour at a time and i have some organic produce from yesterday ready to juice on a moment's notice. Blood pressure each morning has remained quite stable. It has averaged about 85/69 in the past week and was 83/65 this morning. So far everything seems to be going fine.
If your weight is 142 pounds, what is your height and estimated bone size?....small, medium or large? as this has a bearing on health.
I am 5 feet 11 inches and if i had to guess my bone size is medium. I am not concerned in the least about being underweight at this moment because i know from recent experience that about 24 pounds of temporary water will be back on my body within 3 weeks of breaking the fast at which point my weight will be quite excellent for me and with likely 7-8% body fat.
In the words of Carrington.................
""However long the fast may continue, no danger whatever from starvation need be feared, since hunger will always return before the danger point is reached. Thus, so long as hunger is absent, it is a plain indication that no food is required. . . . I cannot too strongly impress this point upon my readers--that natural hunger, and that alone should indicate the terminus of the fast. . . That this signal is invariably given at the proper time, and in the proper way, and that absolutely no danger from starvation need be apprehended until the signal has been given, is absolutely true. . . .
This is a very good reminder. I know my fat is sufficient, and my concern would be for a micro nutrient to run low. Sounds like in either case the genuine hunger siren would be blaring.
The artificial breaking of the fast; the taking of food in the absence of real hunger, for the reason that the ignorant attendant thinks the patient has 'fasted long enough,' is an abomination, and an outrage upon the system which cannot be too strongly deprecated."--Vitality, Fasting and Nutrition, pp. 546-547.
I would really like to take the fast to completion... and maybe i will... but i wish i knew how long that might be. If it was going to be 60 days, i would probably want to await next time. I am at 31.3 now and would like to see at least 35, maybe even 40... again taking it an hour at a time.
I will say that my tongue is becomming a lot less coated. The morning slime on my tongue was about 1/8 this morning of what it was 10 days ago and the remaining coating on the tongue after getting rid of the slime was also about 1/8... tongue is getting pink again. I believe my urine is smelling less toxic too.
What i sense though is that there is still a lot of work to be done in my heart... so completion would be delayed by the work that has to be done here. What is your opinion on how much faster my heart would heal daily if i was to reach a clean tongue and the body no longer had to focus on detox? 2x, 3x, 4x?
Thank you again.
