July 19, 2008 | | 7,095 Views

July 13, 2008 | | 6,034 Views

When I was 46, I was told that I had a fibroid tumor in my uterus, about the size of a lemon. I had already known about juice fasting, so I felt that this issue would respond well to a fast. I left the doctor’s office after I made an appointment for...

Robert: Hi Keith, yes today my symptoms are even worse… I must be really toxic. This 21 day juice fast is my first in years so it’s to be expected, I guess.
Robert: Hi Suzanne, welcome to the site. I also do office work but like boothed I feel so weak on water only I can even sit up straight. Best wishes on your fast. Rob

Stay focuced and be positive and you will see your life change forever. Whether it be for waight loss, mind, or a spiritual cleanse. We are here to help. I train at the...
keith101: Hi boothed You are a great comforter on this site. I have taken enemas every 4 days on my water fast. I have taken Picolax from the chemist. I have done salt water flushings which truly is not that good. Taking enemas did relieve,joint pain and back pain, and speed up the detox. Even...
Suzanne: Hi boothed I would like to water fast for 21 days, that would be a milestone and a massive boost for my health. Rather than juice fasting i could add tea for energy. I’m very good at doing things in a group environment whether in person or online but rubbish at doing some things by...
keith101: Hi all I have a few new friends joining fasting.ws very soon from other sites that does not have the passion and comitment for fasting as we all have. We are all here to improve in our health. Our body, our mind, our spirit, Fasting has improved all 3 for me. I have a spiritual peace...
boothed: Hi Suzzane, Welcome, how long do you plan to fast? I am on a 21 day water and juice fast. I work in an office also but sometimes my energy level was so low I could barely make it to work. I incorate the juice in my fast for energy and cleasing. Be blessed. Keith101, I only did one enema...
Suzanne: Hi Keith, Thanks for the kind note. In previous fasts i find it easier to do a water fast, typically i would eat nothing from the time i rise up then get plently of water in the evening. If i do a juice fast then i would be easily tempted to go for sweets as well then before you know it...
keith101: Hi sarah How are you? Have you had your tummy checked yet? Please keep us posted on how you are. Best wishes keith.

keith101: Robert. To add to my last post. detoxing will flare up old symtoms that you have had in the past but is all part of the body healing itself. As tom said toothpaste or try dabbing listerine on the soar. regards keith.
Suzanne: This is a great website. I start fasting tomorrow; i have done this in the past but struggle to complete a week as i loose focus. The main reason is for my health which has deteriorated over the past two years and i do know fasting will greatly help.
keith101: Hi boothed. Are you taking enemas? I would recomend them for speeding up the detox, i have said that even after taking enemas after 3 weeks my body was still in a toxic phase. When i went to the loo i was still passing bad waste that was lying in the intestines.This did relieve my back...
keith101: Hi robert Thanks for your comment on the upgrade of our site. I am sure tom will do his bes to implement this if possable. I have been on juice now for 3 days. My base for juice is tomatoes and is great in properties for antioxadents, i have also been taking natural youghurt for the...
boothed: Hi JohnV, I am drinking both juice and water on my fast but I drink more water than juice. I only use the juice every 3 or 4 days when I am really weak. I had a really low energy day on yesterday. I juiced 1 lemon, 3 pears, 1 orange, and 3 apples and drink that but it took awhile for my...
boothed: Hi Everyone…God Bless each of you as you continue on your journey of fasting. Be encourage Keith101, thanks for the information because the pain in my upper back does come and go. If I wanted to detox my body more, what else could I add to the fast. This is day 14…Praise the...
Tom Coghill: Hi Robert, Cold sores are very common. Dab toothpaste on it 4 times a day is the best. Salt works but is very painful.
Tom Coghill: Hi Robert, We are reprogramming the site. The comments are in the works now. Great thought, we are just trying to looks at what is possible and what can be simple first. Wordpress is not designed to work that way so we are seeing if anyone has some base code to start with.
Robert: Yesterday I developed a cold sore on my mouth. I have never had one before (although I have sufferred with cankor sores in the past)…. I assume this is another sign of detox? Thanks
Robert: Thanks Keith, I will continue to stay focused. It is good to know that I have not been the only one getting these kinds of symptoms. I hope they improve soon…..
Robert: JohnV – Welcome to the site. Juice fasting is much easier than water fasting from my experience. Best wishes for a successful fast. Rob
Robert: Re: Upgrades to site. Not sure if this has been considered but having responses tied to the original comment would be helpful in tracking conversations… … Essentially each comment would have an expansion option where you could see all the responses in a menu…. Just a...

keith101: Hi johnv Robert or boothed will be able to guide you on juice fasting although i have recently started juice/vegetable to ween myself from my water fast. I have started taking natural yoghurt to give a healthy bacterial lining in the intestines before i start back on solids.I am sure...

JOHNV: Hello Everyone, So I did my first 3 day fast a couple of weeks ago and I just started another. I felt great after the first one. I had to stop because I had alot of events to go to so seeing the food did not help. So now I have 25 days off from anything that involves food. I am hoping to...
keith101: hi robert I am allways here to talk with you, stay focused on the bigger picture. I was talking to christina on msn and her father is doing well.Have you talked to her on this site? She is still on her waterfast. i think she will leave a message on here next week. best regards keith. If...
Robert: Thanks Keith. I will keep going as I’ve committed myself to this. I don’t want to quit as I know the benefits aren’t realized until much later in the fast. Rob
keith101: Hi robert. This must be day 8 of your juice fast? the only thing i can say i stay focused your nearly half way there,i have read storys of people having pain during their fasting this will subside.I have had pain in my hip joints but the worst pain that i had was at the upper back,it...
keith101: HI Sarah. I agree with tom,it would be wise to consult a doctor so that you get peace of mind. I thought it might have been some sort of waste blockage in the lower intestines? after 3 weeks on my water fast i took an enema and you wouldnt believe the waste that was still coming out of...
Tom Coghill: Hi Sourgrapes, Enemas usually cause cramps on the first usage and become more comfortable after the first time. There are at least 10 medical conditions that could cause a lump in that area and all are minor. Only cancer is of major concern and mostly tumors are hard and feel like a...
sourgrapes: Hi Tom, You cant really see it, only if I lie flat I can see it is slightly raised in that area, and I have only noticed it when im fasting, it doesn’t hurt or anything just is abit tender if I poke at it. I thought it might have something with my intestine….Ena mas are...
Tom Coghill: Hi Sourgrapes If there is pain associated with the lump and it comes and goes and is more visible when coughing, laughing or exerting, it could be hernia. If it appeared quickly it cannot be a tumor.
Robert: Hi Samanthakelly, best wishes with your fast and welcome to the site. Best thing is to set a goal and stick to it. This is helping me. I’ve committed myself to 21 days of juice fasting and refuse to quit. I may even extend it to 30 days. I noticed you are doing a water...
Robert: Hi Keith, yes, I am hoping the pain levels are related to detox. With my condition my pain levels always fluctuate even before I was fasting so this sometimes causes me to doubt that the fast is working, but I am rejecting those thoughts and sticking with this fast. Rob
Robert: Thank you Boothed. Today was a difficult day. The hunger has not subsided for me. I’ve felt somewhat discouraged today…. I am the type of person that always want results faster than they really come so I need to just be patient and stick this out. Rob
keith101: Hi sarah. have you looked up the site i searched for you?… you said you had a lump under your belly button, the only thing there would be the colone and lower small intestines. This lump you have needs to be checked up on by a doctor If it is a lump bigger than your fist you have...
sourgrapes: Hi keith, no, I haven’t seen a doctor. I have abit of a fear of them so only go If i can’t avoid it. Dont have a doctor I see regularly…stil l haven’t found one that I felt comfortable with. The last one I went to typed my symptems into some sort of search...

keith101: Samanthakellie. This is the first day for you, nothing is impossable when you put your mind and focus on what you want out of life. hunger will tempt you to go back to old ways but hold on and stick in and your life will change. bless best regards keith.
SamanthaKellie: *180 not 280. opps. the hungers not really getting to me at all. i got on the scale this moring, my weight was 182. guess u havent gained as much weight as i believed.
keith101: Hi robert. i was looking back to the 20th and noticed you had posted that on day 7 you were feeling worse than ever i have read about this! if you have had any past ilness?..then fasting will flare this up but it is part of the body healing itself from years of toxicicity in the body....
keith101: Boothed to add to that! if you have ever had any injury in the past,this can flare up whilst on a fast your body is now working harder to flush out toxins so you will go through this fase of soar joints or a soar back but i can assure you this is normal. regards keith.
keith101: Hi boothed. its a joy when i see you on this site, i have recieved more than i ever expected boothed i feel blessed by everyones comments and love when i see us all on the same path. The answer to your question is one that i can give advise on I had the same problems as you have now...
