Comment on Fasting- How Much Liquid Per Day by Ron

Hi Gina, Depending on your weight, you can do the swf once a week during your fast. If you are 50 lbs or more
over-weight I would suggest twice per week. Again, depending on your body weight, the quantity of the swf
is usually a quart/liter of warm water to a leveled tablespoon of sea salt. You can add lemon or lime for a
“slightly” better taste. Try to finish drinking the swf mixture within 20 mins. If you sip, it might not work
as well and get absorbed into the body instead. I usually take 3-4 big gulps within 10 mins. That works for me.
There isn’t much that makes me queasy, but the swf gets that award! Enemas are also important during a fast.
2-3 per week will do the trick.

Hi Debbie! Congrats on the 8 days! You’ve made it further on water only than most! The heartburn will subside, if it hasn’t already. That is usually the first 3-4 days. If it hasn’t squeeze a little lemon juice into some lukewarm water. Lemon turns alkaline in the body, and neutralizes stomach acid.

I try to concentrate on the “do”, instead of the “done”. From the experience of that method, I felt more blessed, fulfilled, and oblivious to time during my fasts. But, it’s whatever works for each individual that is important. God Bless! I’ll pray for a great fast for you! I’ll be joining you next week at the beginning of Lent! Ron

P.S. As the father of 9 (also)… I get to make the money for the lunches, and dinners for my little guys…and big guys! Me and my wife Libby celebrated 25 years on St. Valentines Day!

I am now on day 8 of this forty day fast. Can’t believe it’s been a week already. I just have to do what I have done already 5 more times and done!! I feel in general quite quietened and subdued. I am definatly feeling more drawn to Jesus and finding myself contemplating the things of God much more than I usually would. As a mum of 9 (I’ve been married 21 years this year) making school lunches and food all day for toddlers and dinner at night for 10 is a challenge. But when I smell the food, I just say…it’s okay…you will be able to eat again soon. I have lost 6.7kg this week not sure how many pounds that is.

Hello!
I have a question about the salt water flush. i drank the quart but it felt like too much. so when i do it i drink 2 cups or slightly more because it feels like it gets the job done. is that okay? or should i drink the whole thing because that’s whats really going to work. and how often during my juice fast should i do a salt water flush? I’m going to start a 2 week juice fast tomorrow maybe longer. i have done a 1 week juice fast in the past and a few days here and there. Should i do a salt water flush everyday? or every other or just a couple times is all i need? I’m just worried about toxins sitting in my system. Thank you

Day four of a 40 day water fast. Doing okay. Pretty rough couple of days though. Harder than I imagined it would be. I have a new appreciation of what Jesus did. He was alone in the wilderness. I still have my shower, air conditioning, my family around me, ice I can put in my water…..and it is really hard mentally and pysically. Jesus you are truely an amazing savior.

I finished my 5th day of fasting and ran a chem 12 to check my electrolytes, when i got my results the next day i found that i had liver damage in multiple areas. Total Protien, Albumin, Billirubin, and AST. multiple liver abnormalities is never good so i immediatley broke my fast. doing it slowly of course. is it normal for liver enzymes to be elevated during a fast or was i right is breaking the fast??

also what proteins are good to eat to break a fast? hard boiled eggs or egg whites?? i posted another thread about this but i wasnt sure how i could get an answer faster

thanks

So I broke my fast, and did two days of juice and on the third day introduced some fruits, had a yogurt and that night had my first salad…on the fourth day I had some fruits for breakfast and some steamed veggies for lunch, but the thing is I haven’t had any bowel movements, Could it just be from going to fast to foods? I didn’t intake too much

This definitely helped me Ron I’m grateful you are guided by the Holy Spirit. Few things I got from your reply that I will do: meditate/pray, LISTEN, plan ahead.

Thank you, I’m very blessed. I’ll update you once I start the 30-day fast. (After Feb 18).

In Light,
Ria
