   Hi Tom, is it common to have rough evenings. The days usually seem good up until about 7 in the evening for me I get rough. Also is gas a normal symptom. Burping is usually a thing I have as well as a gurgling stomach. Not so much for hunger but I do still sometimes get hungry. As of now my parents are starting to get a bit concerned. Also bowel movements. I haven’t had one for days now, is that normal. I am not using a enema. Cheers

   Nat

   You can have restless nights, strange tension in the muscles, feel mentally irritated or feel this increadible peace and health depending on what part of the detoxification cycle you are on.

   Yes, gas is normal especially if the juice is not fresh or strained.

   During a juice fast the body will have a stool every 3 to 5 days, that is why I prefer to use the enema. Less hunger, no burping or gas. Read the section on cleansing the colon on this site.

   It always amazes me how people get concerned if you fast. You can smoke 2 pack of cigarettes a day, drink 4 jumbo coffees during then drink booze till you puke at night, eat greasy food that clog your arteries and enough junk food to send the pancreas into shock, yet fast for a few days and they get worried, terrified you will die with 30,000 calories of fat hanging over the pants.

   email quote of Nathan:
   Things are going pretty well. Day 12. Parents are getting a bit concerned but I am gonna keep on trucking. Only thing I noticed was my fingernails have become very rigid. I hope this isn’t due to iron. Have you ever come across this symptom? Other then that seems ok. Sore muscles still, no real headaches, no cankers, Some energy level spurts. Breath is semi foul, not nearly as bad as it was before. Anyway, if you know anything about hard fingernails during fasting let me know.
   Nathan

   Hi Nathan,
   You’re are doing great, problems like soft fingernails, bone loss around teeth or porous bones tend to improve with juice and water fasting. During fasting, the liver is hard at work processing toxins released from fat and other body deposits. The metabolism of various bodily systems can be disrupted during this period but will return to normal after a fast. Brittle nails is nothing to worrry about.

   Today is a good day. The site is back to normal, and Nathan just sent me this amazing email.

   Hi Tom,
   I just wanted to let you know that I have completed my 30 day juice fast. I did a 3 day water fast on the 26-29 day and juice fasted for 1 day.

   Fasting has help my spiritual life a lot. I feel better. and ankle doesn’t bother me. However, one weird thing. When I broke the fast, first thing I had was a glass of milk with coffee, ground up flax seed
   and a dried apricot and a few slices of banana.

   I was constipated for like the day until the evening and I just thought it was weird especially with flax seed. I am wondering, what kind of bowel movements should I be getting now. Day 2 on food, tomorrow 3, and I am looking forward to being able to eat a bit more. I haven’t gone crazy with the food but have probably eaten a bit more than the
   normal fast breaker. I mean, today was day 2 and for supper I had a big bowel of veggie soup. I didn’t feel
   to bad at all actually. I would I know if I hurt my digestive system? I had a really work hard day today so maybe thats why I got away with eating a bit more.

   I lost a fair bit of weight, didn’t have a scale but am guessing 20 lbs. All the clothes fit, with ease to boot. I want to thank you for all your support and e-mails and wisdom Tom.

   I was wondering, when would be an acceptable time to fast again?
   Nathan

   Hi Nathan,
   You did exceptional. I did not expect you to make is so far as I had not heard from you. You can almost live on juices. Add a few nutrients and you have everything the body need. Wait a month, is good. I usually get in the gym and train hard. As to bowel movements, the colon is waking up after a fast and takes a few days. Eat mostly fruit and salads, as they pass through easily. If you eat bread, grains, cheese or eggs you will be constipated.
   Tom

   Hi Tom,
   Now I have a question that doesn’t involve me. I have a friend who is a body builder, he isn’t looking to fast. However, he is concerned about his acne. He is 23 like me, eats very healthy, (eats a lot of meat too). However, I told him to get a juicer, carrot juice for
   sure, more vegetables in the diet raw, and vitamin A supplements.
   Perhaps a omega 3 & 6 program to balance properly. Do you have any advice. You seem to have general skill in nutrition. Thanks Tom once again. May the Lord bless you.
   Nathan

   Hi Nathan
   The best remedy of to remove refined sugar. It is the combination of sure and processed oils and fats that cause acne. Also boil the meat to remove as much fat as possible. Using a George Foreman grill will help remove more fat. Use lean cuts to start and cut off as much fat as possible and never fry. Omega oils will help thin the sticky fats and help it pass through the pores.
   Tom

• Tom Coghill: Hi Jazzmony, Sure you can take clomid during the fast. I would stick to juice fasting as it has greater therapeutic value. A 30 day juice fast healed my sex drive that was destroyed by drug abuse when I was young and it may cure infertility. Add some vitamin E and essential oils.

• Tom Coghill: BBdfate, Lots of water is not important as without digestion the body does not need much water unless you are sweating. Yes use the enema once per day for the first 3 day then every 2 or third day after that. Spring or distilled water is good.
