Dear Isabella,

I am a little bit concerned. I can completely understand you broke your fast, that happens to all of us and is no big disaster, life goes on, other fasts come :) However, shouldn't you take a few days break before you hit it again? How about after the exam? The thing is that while fasting your first goal is to stop the processes of digestion and start the healing process. Anything you swallow that starts the digestion works against you (from what I understand, urine, salt water and stuff similar to digestive juices should be Ok). However taking medicine or swallowing a cookie every seventh day (for example ;-) may result in malnutrition and actually MORE health problems, or it might at least make the fast much less effective. Of course you have all the information and you have probably studied them in much greater depth than I have, I am just voicing my concern here, ahem :) So in your shoes I'd give the body a few days to recover and THEN start again. But that's just me :)

As regards the Czech, you needn't be impressed at all, the people here find fasting as crazy and dangerous as any other nationality, but, as everywhere, there are several people here who believe in its benefits and communicate with each other about it, book get published (as well as books about UFO, seeing aura, telekinesis etc.) and that's basically it :)

Ah well, I hope you are doing fine, be careful, don't study yourself to death and thank you for everything!

Lots of love

Vanda
