Re: long fast... potassium????

Hi GlenD

I had the scare stories too, on my first fast, my doctor friends said I would die when I eat food again because of electrolytes. Nevertheless I did 27 days, and here I am typing away.

The horror stories... can you actually link to anyone? I too know all about the stories, but I have yet to find evidence of them being true.

Do what I did, put your mind at ease, look up the symptoms of whatever you are worried about and check for them. I got 10 in 1 urinalysis strips on my first fast, they check for all sorts of things. I also checked blood pressure, pulse, temperature, heartbeat.

You said you were doing a fast to prevent cancer, having smoked a lot. Did you see the recent message I posted about Dr Fuhrman? //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1345454#i
He thinks food is the clue to cancer prevention. One of the videos was called "Dr. Fuhrman's Anti-Cancer Soup" Check this link out http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/healthy-food-dr-fuhrmans-anticancer-solu...
for more info.
A Dr John McDougall thinks the same. Check out this video http://www.ravediet.com/preview.htm
- 3 minutes into it, Dr. Ruth Heidrich talks about her breast cancer. I have the full version see this post //www.curezone.org/forums/fm.asp?i=1344129#i
for more detail of the full one. Anyway, in the full video, Dr Ruth says she refused chemo and saw Dr. McDougall who told her to change her diet to a plant based one. She is now alive 20 years on and has her website here http://www.ruthheidrich.com/

So after the fast, consider different eating - this is what I am doing now. I am doing it to lose weight but I quite like the other benefits as well.

Anyway good luck on the fast, but be aware that there are post fast solutions as well. Belt and braces as it were. Tweet
