Water Fasting -Intense Back Pain
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.
If a butterfly could talk of its experience of changing from a crawling insect into a multi-colored, graceful, flying creation, it would most likely be saying the words I felt in my heart. My healing through the 40 days of juice fasting gave back what drugs took away. Thanks for your support Tom. You were a good friend when I needed one.-Carl Wineberg

At the end of the 17-day fast, a physical problem was gone. My doctor had told me I had a stomach reflex disease and would have to take pills for the rest of my life, but after the fast I no longer had that disease; I was completely healed. Thanks Tom, your books and support was fabulous.-Grace Lang

I have lost over 30 lbs. to date, and have a new look as well as a new outlook on life. Not only did the fasting help me with my physical self, but my spiritual self will never be the same. The books were a total support and read them several times, especially when detoxing and feeling apathetic. I heard you have a new book coming out. Save my email, I want it.-Debbie Ried

On the 27th of August 2001 I began a 30 day juice fast. I didn’t actually plan to do 30 days, it seemed impossible to even think of. I just began and thought I’d see where it went. Now I stand in amazement. You asked what I thought of your books. OUTSTANDING!!!-Gray Hodge

This is the information I have been searching for. So clear, so commons sense, I wonder why I missed it. When I was younger, I was an athlete, but now.... 20 years later, oh no. But, you gave me new vision and inspiration. Second day of my juice fast and my wife is loves the recipe book. I would recommend these books to anyone how needs a life overhaul.-Juan Callion

Ok, I now know just how messed up I am. The chapters on the emotions and eating hit home. I am planning a fast but, I know that I need to rebuild and cleanse my mind of all the toxic thinking and emotions that make me want to hide in the pleasures of food. I feel alive for the first time in many years. Keep on going, Tom you have helped me more than my words can express.-Suzie Bilinere

Looking at Moreno Tuguinay now, I am amazed. The transformation from a sickly man to a beaming, positively hopeful one, free of all those health problems which have plagued him through the years is simply remarkable – and all achieved without taking any drugs, just juice fasting for a month. For a physician trained in conventional medicine, this is an eye opener.-Dr. Clare Lalwet

When I started this fast I was taking about 20 pills a day, 4 different prescriptions. Now, after completing a 20 day fast, I am on no prescription medications. I have lost 25 pounds. And I have no swelling in my face, ankles or feet as before.-Steph White

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.
