The final straw. OR my last read before attempting this fast.

THE 3 DAY FAST
A little more difficult than the 24 hour fast, this fast definitely takes you to a new level of
cleansing. After the initial 24 hours without food the body actually “switches modes.”
This is a reflex action that happens automatically. Just exactly the same way that food in
your stomach initiates the release of digestive acids and enzymes, the absence of food for
a period of time triggers many cleansing processes throughout the body. Your body
literally breaks down processes and eliminates old stagnant “extra” stored up toxic waste.
This waste is stored everywhere! It’s in all of your organs like your kidneys, liver, and
gall bladder. It’s in your blood, it’s in your fat, it’s in your skin and lungs, it’s in your
eyes, ears, nose, and throat……but most of all, it is in your intestines. The 33 feet of
small and large intestine of the average person can hold 50lbs or more of stagnant toxic,
mucoid plaque that releases a constant stream of poisons into your body. That causes
sickness, allergies, pain, arthritis and fibromyalgia to name a few. This build up of
indigestible toxins come mostly from the unnatural processed man made foods that we
consume. Preservatives, chemicals, sugars, hydrogenated oils heavily salted or fried
foods, artificial colors and flavorings are just some of what your body can’t handle and
builds up like paste on the walls of our intestine. Sometimes it’s perfectly healthy food
that is combined improperly or over eaten or damaged by the cooking process. But by far
the worst clogging foods are the zero fiber meats, eggs, and cheeses. All dairy products
including yogurt create mucus production in the intestine and build up the layers of
mucoid plaque. When meat digests it becomes like gravy. And let us not forget how
much flour the American people eat. Bread, crackers, pasta, bagels, pastry, muffins,
cake, and cookies – we easily consume hundreds of bags of flour each year. Well anyone
who graduated kindergarten can tell you a great recipe for paste is flour and water. We
eat a very unnatural diet and our body does the best it can to process through and absorb
nutrients and dump the toxic unuseable stuff, but it gets so easily overwhelmed and can’t
keep up. This is why we need to fast.
The Benefits
With a three day fast you can get yourself out of big trouble with a bloated overburdened
intestine. Immediately, your body starts to work on the extra stuff. Mucus is released
from everywhere and your intestine starts to pump out the stagnant waste and plaque that
is held deep within the walls of the organ itself. This is reflected by the coated tongue
that you will have by the second day. Your entire intestine looks like that.
How Will I Feel?
As toxins are released, people go through many transient symptoms. At moments you
may not feel so well or may feel extremely tired or weak. Then suddenly, you feel this
incredible burst of energy and well being. There are some headaches and some intestinal
cramps, but this is not a sign of you lacking or needing anything. This is from the toxins.
Therefore, the best remedy is to drink more fluids and take an enema or colonic to
expedite the toxins flushing out of your body. Above all remember that “the true benefits
of a fast can only be measured after it is over and you are back to eating normal. This is
how you officially stop the cleansing process, at which point you can evaluate the new you.
“Lighter, healthier, easier to breathe, less pain, so much better” are all common
comments by people completing a fast.
What Can I Have On a Fast?
Water, fresh made vegetable or fruit juices, herbal tea, vegetable broth that is homemade
without any salt or chemicals, sugar-free store bought juices (organic is highly
recommended) are also okay, but you will have noticeably less energy than fresh juice.
How Do I Come Off The Fast?
I’m so glad you asked this question. It is critically important that you come off a fast
properly. (Remember the body has had quite a workout and will be sensitive at first.
That is why you must start with the simplest of foods and gradually ease yourself back
into “normal” eating. The first food you eat naturally has to be juicy fruit like oranges,
peaches or grapes. After giving the body a full two to three hours to properly digest this
fruit you can have more every couple of hours. In the afternoon or evening you should
have salad and vegetables – by your last meal, you might even handle some lightly
cooked vegetables. You must resist the temptation to “catch up” and gorge yourself.
You’ll end up doing more damage than you had before. The next day again after
drinking some water, start first with fruit. This is an excellent habit to get into for the rest
of your life. Mid-day, have a salad and some cooked food if you want. And by dinner
you can return to “normal” eating. Hopefully, you will become more aware of everything
you put into your body and start to keep a better balance of raw fresh organic fruits and
vegetables as the majority of your diet and all the other stuff as little pleasurable side
dishes.
Final Thoughts
Fasting is as old as time. Every single species of creature on this earth is known to fast at
certain times. Man is the least of these creatures. It wasn’t always that way. Fasting was
the number one method to cure illness in early medical literature. It is perfectly safe and
everybody can do it if they learn how. Fasting will change your life and allow your body
to repair any disease. The only question is how long or how many times you have to fast.
Learn this ancient technique of wellness for your family and yourself.
Yours in greater health,
