Water Fasting -Intense Back Pain

Mar 3rd, 2010 • 2 Comments by lcausey

Back Pain is common during water fasting if there was a past injury.

Hey Tom,

I was planning on doing a long water only fast, however by the 5th day I was having terrible back pain.  I was so upset that I was going to quit, but I could not stand the pain – I was getting no sleep at night and could hardly function during the day.   I know it was caused by toxins in the low intestines, but would one enema have cleared it up?  I have had two bowel movements since I quit, but I still have alot of back pain when I lay down.  Can you give me more information about the back pain – since you would not have a bowel movement until the end of the fast, would the pain have continued the whole time?   I was having alot of pain in my shoulders and legs too, but I felt that that would end as the toxins were released, but I was afraid the toxins in the small intestines could only be released by bowel movements/enemas.

Thank you!

Linda

Hi Linda,

Yea using the enema can reduce back pain.   Not sure why but it may be the there is a connection between the lymph of the lower colon and the nerves surrounding the spine.  You should not be water fasting.  Juice fast using 6 tablespoons of essential oils daily with a B complex and vitamin E.  Once the pain is gone you can water fast.

    Hello everyone, this my second water fast, I’m up to a week now and it’s going very well, except for this backache when I lay down to sleep.

    My first fast last year was 8 days long and I had to stop because of work, and of vomiting bile. What kept me from sleeping that time was the pain in the gums of my mouth.

    This time I would like to go 2 weeks, but these backaches are starting to get to me. I took a bath to help, it was so good that I was falling asleep, it scared me. I’ve put hot water bottles and it somewhat helped also, didnT try cold yet though…

    For now I think I will try to lay down/sleep for 2 hours, then get up when the pain is to much and there are no position I can maintain, than go back to bed after an hour or two. What I don’t understand is that most of the pain goes away when I am sitting or standing up??? Would a salt flush be a solution to this??

    Any comments and suggestions are more than welcome!
    Thanks

    Try doing an enema… That will help the body in releasing toxins. Like this the body is releasing toxins any way it can. I too had backaches and stomach aches and each time i felt them i would right away preform an enema and each time it worked. You may need to do more than one so be prepared. It is just a sign that your body is getting rid of toxins.
