Hi everyone, I hope you are all improving day by day. (Bluesie, I've been thinking of you, I know it's another rough spot you're going through, hang in there. I would cook for you and take care of you if I could. Sending a hug your way, my friend.)

About the fasting...
Most of you know that I have been doing really well by detoxifying regularly and keeping on a certain nutrition plan. Every winter I fast, I am a little late this year but I'll be starting on Wednesday 3/28 and just wanted to invite any of you who may be interested to fast with me. We can encourage each other and I will be happy to pray for anyone who is fasting with me.

I am going to do a liquid fast for about a week, but if you just do it for three days it will still be useful to boost your immune system. Here's what I am going to be drinking:

distilled water (at least one gallon each day)
in the water I might add organic lemon juice for pH and grade B maple syrup for blood sugar levels and possibly some cayenne if I feel cold

I also will be drinking:
nutrient dense juices such as noni, goji, wolfberry, mangsteen, etc.
aloe vera juice
green drinks like spirulina, alfalfa, barley, chlorella etc.
oils such as coconut oil, almond oil, flax oil, fish oils and hemp oil
fresh organic vegetable juices (made at home in the juicer)
organic teas such as detox teas, liver cleanse teas, ginger tea, etc.

In the morning I will take probiotics, during the day I will take liquid vitamins and in the evening I will take an herbal laxative. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? Anybody want to join me?

You can still take your medications while you fast, and you don't have to keep going if you can't do it. Maybe just try it for a day and see how you do? Anybody in?

hi sleeperwoken , im in, let me check my dinner date schedule l.o.l . i fasted mon thur wed. of last week so i dont know if i can do it. ill need lots of encouragement . i would like to join in the praying part too. where can i get this stuff . i usually just drink veg. juice but i ussually dont fast to detox body though it does i usually fast to detox my spirit. also i am surrpose to get my picline in tommorow. will that be a problem you think? thank for starting this i think it a great idea. be blessed, debi

sorry, double post

Just make sure your bodys getting plenty of food and nutrients. When your sick you wanta make sure you eat good, and get plenty of nutrients in your body. Hope it works well for you!

I'm in.

However, what on earth are those juices and where can I buy them?

:)

p.s. Thanks for the invite.

Yay! Glad to have the company. I will pray for you guys. I get the juices at the health food store or online. Whole Foods has most of them, and surprisingly I just found out that Price Chopper is joining with Wild Oats in my area to supply organics and health food items so I did pretty well over there too.

The wolfberry juice that I buy from Young Living (they call it berry young juice) is a complete food and I plan on drinking 6-8 ounces of it throughout the day.

Silentstones, I'm sorry I don't know much about picc lines, I have never had one. Maybe you should wait and ask them just in case. Good luck with that, I will be thinking of you.

hi 6blues, ive really been praying for you . exspecially last
Sun . iwent to the alter for you ,you were on my heart really heavy . hope you'r doing better , i will really be praying for you through this. blessings , debi sleeperwoken , iim'm going to infectious disease dr tomorrow ,hoping they will put pick in then . i'll ask Dr. but i should be able to do atleast a partial fast ok ,ill pray about it too . thanks for the prayers in advance.! debi

I noticed that my regular grocery store has been stocking major amounts of organic foods (including many Wild Oats products), but I doubt they will have any wolfberry juices. :)

I'll hit the health food store tomorrow on my lunch break.

Looking forward to trying something new.

Thanks for the prayers. I can't believe how poo-poo I feel mentally. I just want to give up and let the bacteria kill me. sigh. I don't want to be a downer, so I'll change the subject.

Good luck with the PICC. You're brave for going through that procedure. Let us know how it goes.

Peace and health to all,
Mickie

how are you guys doing so far? I am trying to drink a lot and managed to juice quite a few organic veges this morning. I like the aloe that I bought too, it's nice and light and makes me feel good. I found Yogi brand teas for detox, fasting, nighttime sleep, and immune boosting. I like all of them. If I get too hungry I just take a tablespoon of coconut oil or hemp oil, that usually takes care of it.

I think I will juice a clove of garlic in my vegetable juices later tonight. I bet I'll stink bad, but that's okay because I feel great when I juice garlic.

hi guys i' m still going to try to fast but i didn't do so well with my dr visit im starting a new tread to explain .very discoraged.!hard blow

oops , i did it again , sorry ,double posted again. my computer is wak. ok it' really me that's wak.

Silentstones, sorry you had such a bad experience. I wrote to you on your other thread.

Today is my third day of fasting, I actually started on Tuesday because my hubby is out of town and he left on Tuesday. I'm just starting to feel the good effects of the fast. It is a little harder than it was the last time though for some reason.

I juiced kale and beets, celery and carrots, cabbage and apple. I like the aloe that I bought too, it's nice and light.

How's it going Blues?

I'm doing okay. Less mental crap. I wasn't able to get to health food store yet so I am doing the ninja red, veggies and juice. I did have a handful of Doritos last night, so I cheated.

Distilled water can give folks diarhea so be careful. Distilled water has all electrolytes removed. Spring water may be better.

How you doing? Glad to hear you feel better!!
