Water Fasting Detox
It's a well kept secret that fasting on nothing but water is a highly beneficial way of doing a "whole body" detox and organ tune-up to deal with the toxic assault we find ourselves under. Hear me on this! Most people believe fasting on nothing but water will harm the body. Nothing could be further from the truth! You won't even loose much if any muscle mass after the third day. It was theorized that protein loss during fasting was harmful and that a fast should be supplemented with protein. Fasting with protein became known as the Opti-fast. Faster's took nothing but water and protein drinks. Several people died doing this, and the fad quickly disappeared. How can a water and protein drink fast kill you? Protein digestion during the fasting state creates an overload of urea and the blood quickly become acidic. In this condition, the organs become more damaged instead of healing as they do on a water only fast. To the body, fasting is a natural process. During water fasting, the protein levels of the blood remain constant. Although protein is being utilized, a person fasting 40 days on water will not suffer a deficiency of either protein, vitamins, minerals or fatty acids. In the breakdown of dying and diseased cells and fat, all essential substances are available while fasting for reuse within the body. These dead cells are utilized in a systematic manner. Only during starvation is protein being stripped from healthy tissue to be used to survive. This may take 30 to 80 days of fasting on water to reach this point. During a fast, a metamorphosis occurs. The body undergoes a tearing down and rebuilding of damaged materials. For this reason, fasting is famous for its ability to rejuvenate and give the body a more youthful tone. Why does fasting have such a powerful effect in healing the body? Fasting dissolves diseased cells in a systematic manner, leaving healthy tissue. The result is a thorough cleansing of the tube, membrane and cellular structures. There is a remarkable redistribution of nutrients in the fasting body. It hangs on to precious minerals and vitamins while catabolizing on old tissue and toxins. Why you should consider water fasting Those toxic materials do not only cause disease in the colon and kidneys, but also they can cause various diseases all over the body. When the bowel walls become crusted with unexcreted fecal matter, the proper eliminative functions are lost, causing chronic constipation. If we eat three times a day, we should have at least three bowel movements, otherwise the digestive and eliminative functions are not working sufficiently. Many toxins in our body are absorbed into the blood stream, circulated throughout the whole body, and accumulated in various parts of the body, causing aches, diseases, premature aging, and all sorts of other health problems. Health problems associated with toxins range from “something as simple as fatigue or weight gain to serious health disorders such as arthritis, cancer and other degenerative conditions.” In fact, it has been argued that the amount of toxicity in the body has a 99 percent direct correlation with the seriousness of the body condition. Stanley Burroughs (1976), the author of The Master Cleanser says that, “all diseases, regardless of their names, come within this understanding as only varied expressions of the one disease of toxemia.” Taking medicine and eating healthy food does not eliminate toxicity -- the fundamental cause of our health troubles. Instead, their residue remains and accumulates as extra toxins in our body. Fasting then is a way to give our body a chance to get rid of the waste materials and accumulated toxins that are unavoidable in our modern, complex civilization.
Benefits of Water Fasting The digestive system is rejuvenated and becomes more effective; the peristaltic action of the intestines (the cause of a natural bowel movement) is stronger after fasting. Detoxification - as
soon as the body realizes that it's fasting it will begin to eliminate
those things that cause disease, such as fat cells, arterial cholesterol
plaques, mucus, tumors, stored up worries and emotions. BEFORE YOU DO A WATER FAST
Before you try a long water fast, you need to prepare and maybe try a few 1-2 day weekend water fasts. Learn about the various kinds of fasts (water fast, water and fruit juice fast, etc) and what you can expect as side affects. If you have a pre-existing health condition then you should find out if there are contrary indications with fasting and your condition. Arrange your fast in a time period where you have low activity. Avoid heavy kinds of work if at all possible. When detoxification increases as it does during fasting, the liver, kidneys, lungs and immune system work extra hard to handle the load. If these systems were already compromised before the fast, one must proceed carefully. You go as long as you can tolerate it, whether physiologically or emotionally, and then come back to eating again. Once you have some energy and are a few steps further toward health, you can consider doing another fast. Several short fasts can definitely do wonders if one long fast cannot be undertaken. Long fasts are preferable to short ones because once the body is in the fasting state it cleanses systematically into the harder to get at body tissues. For this reason, most of the recoveries from illness have taken place in the latter parts of long fasts. Long fasts give the body the uninterrupted time to do the work of healing. The first few days of fasting gets rid of the waste products of digestion, but only after this can the body pull out its tools to get to work on the task of healing. NOTE: It is not advisable to water fast under the conditions of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, schizophrenia or a chronic heart condition. If you have existing conditions it is best if you consult with a fasting expert and/or be monitored throughout your fast. Be careful of dizziness and black outs. The heart is resting as much as it can during water fasting. Before you stand up, take one or two deep breaths to get the heart pumping. If you start to black out, sit down or crouch down on one knee. This will immediately stop the dizziness.
ACTIVITY LEVEL DURING A WATER FASTIt is good to at least have mild exercise and movements with short walks to keep the lymphatic fluid moving and to the keep the vascular system working. The amount of exercise you can do is very much dependent on your existing condition and how you are feeling that day and what kind of fast you are doing. Basically one needs to be alert and listen to one’s body and not to overdo. Fasting is resting, not a marathon! You may feel weak during a water fast and may need to rest more often. While juice fasting, you may experience an abundance of energy that makes exercise easy. If you experience energy loss, limit yourself to stretching exercises, light walking or deep breathing.
WATER FASTING TIPS
Avoid tap water! Distilled water is the best for cleansing because of its magnetic properties and ability to absorb and suspend large quantities of toxins and flushing them from the body. The perceived value of mineral water is misleading because the inorganic minerals are like huge boulders to the cellular membranes, making them impossible to assimilate. Plants are able to break down the minerals from the soils, allowing them to be completely absorbable to the cells of the body. The best water is distilled, secondly, spring or filtered. Drinking a few glasses of ozonated water during a water fast is a great way to boost the immune system and flooding the body with oxygen. Distilled water works best, again. There are no calories or nutritional value in water. On a water fast you have given your body no options but to turn to itself for fuel. This can create a problem when you have spent years depositing garbage fuel. Living exclusively on garbage fuel during a fast takes tremendous courage & strength. To ease into water fasting some recommend juice fasting with periods of water fasting. For example 3 days on juice, 2 days on water, 5 days on juice, then 3 days on water. You can juice when you have to work and water fast on the weekend when you can rest. You can fast from 1 to 40 days. Try to drink 2 liters of distilled water or more per day.
One way to start is to fast one day, working towards fasting regularly, one day per week or for longer periods of time. You can fast from all food, or only from solid food. You can choose a one day fast with only:
The idea is to allow your digestive system to clean-out during a 1 day fast and to prepare for longer water fasts.

Physiological Effects of Fasting
At the beginning, fasting achieves a physiological rest to the digestive, assimilative, and protective organs, probably the first time for most people. Next, the bodily energy normally used to digest and assimilate food is now used to purify our body. The purification process is called autolysis, or auto-digestions in which our body draws energy by decomposing and burning unused substances and metabolic wastes with the help of bacteria and enzymes. Waste materials to be decomposed, reused, and eliminated include fat and calcium deposits, atheromatous plaque, morbid accumulations, abnormal cells, dead and dying cells, damaged tissue, and various kinds of neoplasm (Burroughs, 1976; Ehret, 1966; www.fasting.com). This is the single most important phase of fasting: breaking down superfluous tissue and mobilizing the toxins from their storage areas. Non water-soluble chemicals are also transformed into relatively polar substances and then quickly excreted through enhanced cleansing ability of all the eliminative organs.
EATING AFTER THE WATER FAST
Eating food causes a cycle of hunger. It’s only when we stop eating that we lose the hunger! Think about it. All fasting experts agree that hunger sensations are usually lost on or shortly after the third day of fasting, and sometimes don’t return for weeks, but when they do return, usually very strongly, it’s the time to break the fast. But all fasting experts
point out that it is important to resume eating very lightly, and very
gradually, in exact relationship to the duration of the fast. Therefore,
if breaking a 40-day fast, you may want to start with only small quantities
of fruit juice for several days up to a week, before actually resuming
with solid food like regular fruit. It is very important to keep the first solid meal light and simple even though the mental temptation to dive into heavier favorites. Be gentle with your digestive system and your digestive system will not only thank you but the overall benefits of the cleanse will last much longer. If you were on a water fast, then your first day can be juices or watermelon, if your were on a juice fast, then your first day should be raw vegetables or fruits. The next meal may include heavier items such as potato, avocado or corn, but in any case you will notice that your body is very sensitive to what you eat and you should use this period of transition to learn more about what your body likes and doesn't like you to put into it. When waking up a slumbering digestive system, the desire to eat will be intense. The flavors and textures of food will be enhanced by super clean nasal passages. Eating will be a brand new experience. This is the time to flex your new-found muscles of discipline and self-control. As the body screams, I want more, wisdom whispers, you have had enough. Eating small amounts of raw fruits and vegetables for the first five or six days will allow the body to gently wake up the digestive system. The body will continue to detoxify and cleanse during this period. Any toxins that have accumulated will begin to move due to the sweeping action of the soft fibers of fruits and vegetables. This is a good time to use one of our gentle detox products! For six days gradually increase the amount of raw fruits and vegetables in your diet. To break a fast and gorge on meat, bread or junk food will be disaster. Jarring the system this intensely when the digestive system is in a sensitive state can cause stomach cramps, nausea and weakness, negating much of the benefits of the fast. Eat slowly and chew your food well. Saliva has enzymes that assist in digestion. Up to 80 percent of the starch, 30 percent of the protein and 10 percent of the fat can be digested by the enzymes in saliva. Do not overeat! Discover the amount of food that your body needs to live a vibrant, healthy life. Discern the difference between cravings and hunger. Never feed your emotions. When breaking a fast over ten days, the break-in period should be extended one day for every 4 days of fasting.
