Your Friendly Neighborhood SpiderChick - Water Fasting & Liver Detox...
by HmK
(Pittsburgh, baby!)
I'm on hour 60 of my water fast. I'm not sure how long it will last.... I will listen to my body for that indicator.
I used an organic laxative tea last night with milk thistle drops in it for liver cleansing and awoke in the middle of the night with the urge to dispel waste.
That was followed by 10 minutes of intense sweating, nausea, dizziness, and a strange sensation of 'something' running through my hands and up my arm.
I am thinking (even though I'm a pretty healthy vegetarian) that there is more toxicity in my body from pesticides and environmental factors than I had initially thought.
I feel good, I feel very alert and perceptive - almost like a sixth sense is re-developing. I used to fast regularly, then stopped for about a year.
I absolutely felt the effects of ingesting so much food and had to reaffirm my relationship with eating. Just because you're vegetarian doesn't mean you're healthy.
here's to fasting for health!
