I loved this! I’m a naturopath and have delved into fasting today was a 24 hour. Was considering doing a 72 hour tomorrow. I’ve done three 21 day and 1 X 14 day and 1 x 30 day fast over the last four years.
My rheumatoid arthritis cleared completely two suspicious lumps cleared from my breasts completely and menopause was ultra smooth!
Like a miracle.
Not at first. But after one of th e 21 day fasts a breeze. I recommend your books and info to lots of clients and appreciate your research. Thanks for what you’re doing to support and educate!!!
I’m new to you and your channel. When doing these fasts, what about taking medications during the fasts? Is it allowed?
Hi , great program . What is considered a short fast and a long fast ?
I’m on the 5 day fast. I made it 71.5 hours. I stepped away Judi for one small meal of plain yogurt as after a coffee this third day, my stomach wasn’t happy and knowing myself I couldn’t go on without settling it down with something gentle. I’m continuing on past that without food on the water fast through Friday however. It’s been amazing and my plan is to switch things up throughout the week as you teach. This was exactly what I needed, a reset. Thank you! I have 60# to shed.
