My 27 day Fast

[chris]

As quite a few of you know I started to fast several weeks ago, I think it was around the fourth or fifth of September. If you wanna skip the boring hoohaa of how it was okay to be stuck in a musty house for several weeks with breath that could kill at twenty paces then go straight to the black text.

I’ll just lay down some background, a few tips and then get into the good shit!

I used to fast just to push myself years ago, I made 5 days here and there. I didn’t really do it for any reason. I kind of had sympathy for the starving and wondered what it would be like to starve also but deep down I did believe it would do me good somehow.

Years later I did research on it (thanks to 2tuff- Craig-Unhived Mind http://z13.invisionfree.com/THE_UNHIVED_MIND/index.php?showforum=29 ) Over about a year and a half I have conducted four fasts all up to ten days (coincidentally).

On this fast, I took much more rest which was very much needed though very boring.

Anyway, during the fast I had several interesting experiences. A piece of plaque fell out while I was brushing my teeth (I didn’t even know I had any plaque). I had a lot of schizophrenic dreams…I’ve read how fasting is really effective with schizophrenia and though I’m not one obviously, I learned much about how it gets triggered, who takes over and what happens to the mind while disassociated. This was very helpful information to learn through experience how the subconscious mind works directly. If anyone’s wondering, I learned this stuff while trying to get to sleep, half-drifting off, and half meditating.

After day 15, I didn’t have any experiences whatsoever (hardly even dreams). I was just a breathing mass, no personality, I felt inhuman. Although I do remember one which was that I was living in a very clean house and there were many unopened presents lying about. I often wondered why do yogis do this? Then had to remind myself again for their health…

Anyway…Comes day 27 and I stopped…I fell short of getting rid of my psoriasis and my back problem that has lingered for years. Still I was happy…

I stopped with a honeydew mellon (because it was not too sharpe)…Big mistake, my mouth got extremely sore and I couldn’t eat fruit after that or my eye’s would water. I was pretty much stuck and my hunger had completely returned and so the only thing to stop me from really blowing out was to eat watery wheatabix gruel for a day…I then when onto apple (not the skin) which is where I have been since I have broke it.

Now, I had not slept in days, I was extremely irritable and my head was/is fucking crazy…Every little ounce of glucose would make me super hyper in mind but I still had little energy in body.

I couldn’t do nothing, my mind was going absolutely crazy, every time I would almost get to sleep I was getting what I can only describe as flashbacks.

I was starting to get scared because I thought I might have broken the fast badly and now I’ve really damaged myself. I had this one dream where someone had a stungun and was shooting everyone and then shot me, my mind just went wild.

I kept eating apple and drinking water. I was like the walking dead in the supermarket because I would get their 10 minutes before opening, white as a ghost, death breath, tatty ripped clothes and I had a bad limp from how I was laying in bed and my voice was more of a groan.

Last night was the worst. Everything I thought would turn into a flashback, I read some hindu book and I was stressing out over it, I was just trying to jump over the symbols of the chakras. The heating turned on about 6am in the morning and with the cool breeze coming in and me huddled next to the radiator; I was able to get some sleep.

I had a dream that I was running, I was right at the back and someone was following me with my gallbladder in his hands, I suddenly started running much faster and catching up. Then I felt a huge push in my abdomen, I woke up and I was tensing my stomach muscles in a really strange way. I was tired and I managed to get back to sleep. Then again, I had the exact same dream, I started running even faster and then I felt my stomach tensing and then fell back asleep. Then I had the exact same dream again and I woke up with my stomach tensing. This third time I felt something give way and then many times all around my intestines I could feel a gentle cracking. Soon after that I suddenly realised that I needed the toilet really badly!

Although I did drop a couple of pieces of dark matter in there the day earlier, this time I could feel my whole intestines moving, like a train. I felt ho shit!!! I couldn’t believe how large, sharp and edgy this first shit came out! It was like a sandy brown mixture of shit and hard mucus. I dropped it out and then another and another and another. Each huge hard turds with all this weird stuff inside, if I had saved the pieces I think I could have fitted them together to make up a jigsaw of the inside of my intestines.

The really strange thing I noticed was that as they came out I felt my skin breathing at certain areas (which was where my psoriasis is), it was like they’ve been snuffled from the inside with insulation and feeling it being removed like that was very strange, just like someone had opened the window of a stuffy room.

Even though my arse felt like I spent the last couple of weeks drugged up with Dick Cheney as my handler, I felt really good. It was like the best shit ever!

I got up pretty easy and took a stretch and then went back to bed…

I got to sleep easy. But my mind was working slightly differently, even though I was/am still getting those weird flashback things. This time they were completing, before these flashbacks were just weird emanations of my mind and would become distorted and ugly but now they were turning really good…I think the first one was that I bought this kid a present which was a really great spaceship and he got in it and I picked it up and then threw him to Lyra. I had one where some friends and I were around a bar all lighting up cigars in celebration (I actually woke up laughing aloud at this one). I had one where it was my birthday or something and I was opening a huge present with loads of others around me. I had one where I was about to confront a bully in his house and I burst down the door and a vicious dog was there barking, I was completely naked but felt extremely powerful, I would usually be a bit shy with the testicles against an aggressive dog but I just felt so invincible that I wanted him to see me not afraid just let them swing! I felt my posture perfect and I was straining all my muscles and letting off this animal like huge growl and I could feel power flowing down my back all the way into my fingers and gripping my fingers, it felt like I could have crushed dice to powder.

I don’t know how many I had and I know I’ve forgotten quite a few but they had the same kind of theme, 80% of them were based around a celebration and the others were a little more diverse, they were extremely real. I felt power, happiness, joy (I never say joy). Each time I would wake up I was feeling this kind of reverse dripping going upwards into my head. I couldn’t get to sleep after about 30/45 minutes because I got so alert and just anticipated going back to sleep to see what the next one would bring.

Anyway this was only about 6 hours ago and so I’ll probably write a few more updates to this in the coming days. As far as analysing what has happened I remember reading that fasting actually lets your body complete it’s metabolic processes so I guess what happened was a combination of the nutrient conversions going to it’s perennial states and of course ridding my intestines of whatever the hell that was…

Anyway I liked fasting before but now I just think it’s fucking amazing. I’m very glad to have stopped at 27 days because now I have options, if I reached for the moon then perhaps it would have been a bit bitter sweet. I’ve still got some toxicity inside me, I didn’t get down to be really thin, I still have psoriasis and a bad posture (although it does feel tremendously better) but I’m sure that this is the way to heal yourself when you fully detox, it will be amazing.

I really understand now why these crazy monks in monasteries do this now, it’s better than any high I’ve ever had.

-Disclaimer, if anyone stupid enough to stand up too fast and hit their head from giddiness or anything else; don’t blame me. This is your own responsibility, do your research.

What you eventually let out is called mucoid plaque..

You could've saved yourself a hell of a lot of trouble if you had looked here first..

Actually I tried that stuff at least three times (different people), one of which burnt my gut to fuck and came out much worse which was when I had to go straight into a 10 day fast just to sort that problem out.

Edit-In fact it was that very brand that did me in. Dr Schulze's one was the best one for me, it had a powerful effect without overblowing and I actually got out a tiny bit of plaque after three goes...Still it was very expensive and I loved my fasting experience (in a weird way).

[thetonic]

Yeah those kits are damn expensive.. What you did chris is far more impacting than any kit could offer ... Does anyone here use psyllium husks or bentonite clay?

[orgo knight]

You must have a will of iron.
Two days was hard for me.
Hats off to you :D

dude that is totally gross..but encouraging!

[28th kingdom]

Are you people kidding with this 27 day fast? NO WAY you did that... 27 days without ANY FOOD? How much weight did you lose? Man... that's not a fast... it's called starving yerself to death... I don't think that's healthy doing it that long... what happens to your blood sugar? How the hell do you keep it up without any food?

[mynameis]

Make sure to drink liquids.

[dondaz]

Hi Chris, that was amazing. I wonder what those poor people feel like and go through when this is done deliberately against them untill they actually die?

That's certainly an experience you had there mate, reading your post makes me think of the movie The Machinist:

http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u39/dazp5/machinist3.jpg

This guy han't slept for over a year and eats like you explained in your post all the time. There's paranoia, conspiracy and all sorts in the film. Fiction, but well worth watching.

Interesting thread Chris.

[cheesedanish]

Strider ... thanks for the warning....

Chris ... well done on your fast !

[cf24]

I have done 21 days on a juice fast, but Chris you are hardcore fella! What an amazing experience that must have been, highs and lows, and what a great feeling it must have been finishing that......:D

WTF?

Looks like those herbs pull the lining from you? Is all that stuff the toxins inside people coming out or just the herbs reacting in a wierd way?

Gross!:eek:

[chris]

I am not that thin:) I am quite normal, I don't really gain or loose weight. My stomach got very empty which reduced my beltsize but my fat just sizzling down, not too bad. I hear if you go past 40 then it really will show...

[strider]

Gross!:eek:

No mate.. If you read a little about it, you'll find out that you've most likely got a rubber lining inside your colon through years of neglect, or through chemicals put into the body etc.

It comes with a mixture that draws the toxins together, and a digestive stimulator which helps remove them.. Gross I know.. but better in that out :cool:

[28th kingdom]

I don't understand... how you can fast for 27 days without food or juice... and not have your blood sugar completely gone...

shit is no joke man, I felt excruciating stomach pains when I did a detox.

[trumansho]

Yeah those kits are damn expensive.. What you did chris is far more impacting than any kit could offer ... Does anyone here use psyllium husks or bentonite clay?I had psyllium hust,but now I drink alot of acai,goji,noni juices and alot of herbal teas.

[Mo0n5tar]

Long time no see Chris awesome total number of days there, 27 is incredible, was it just water?

I am at the stage you describe in your introduction, undergoing the odd 5-6 day fast, i always find slipping back into the foods of civilisation brings back symptoms of illness, know what I mean?

[mountain]

Yeah those kits are damn expensive.. What you did chris is far more impacting than any kit could offer ... Does anyone here use psyllium husks or bentonite clay?

I use the psyllium husks and it works very well. Some brands are not as good, they refine it orsomething and that makes it weaker. Try the most natural. I am use to it now, it actually tastes pretty good to me! It does not upset the stomach and it is very effective!

Sup Micky, how you doing?

I've been there man, it's the ego, so slippery and convincing.

[Mo0n5tar]

haha yeah, i am quite well thankyou Chris, i will drop you a pm in next few days.

Best Wishes

[dondaz]

Gross I know.. but better in that out :cool:

:eek::eek::eek:

Better out than in:D

[byrdsmaniac]

Whoah! I think I'll stick to my coffee and McDonalds diet for a while.
That account sounded awful!

[chris]

Another update:

My skin is vastly improving, day by day. My complexion looks so much healthier and I no longer have any darkness under my eye's.

My back has been getting unbelievably better...At night I practice a kind of hatha yoga but the real hatha yoga and I'm feeling my toes expanding, my fingers literally cracking into place (without no strain, they are just popping back). My ankle which I sprained really badly seems to be getting loads of attension. This is amazing!

My dreams have just been crazy, they continued on just as they did the other morning, having lots of good things coming into them. Really nice surprising things and lots of success and happiness.

[nickatnoon61]

Just check out the pics on that link I put up..

http://www.blessedherbs.com/photos2i.html

Edit: Do not click that link if you are eating.. I read a book by bernard jensen 20 years ago about colon cleansing and it is one of the best books I have ever read on health! The pics of the crap we are carrying around,in our colons, were very similar to these ones in the link! YUCK!!!!I have used the psysillium and clay, strider. "The Master Cleanser" is probably one of the most effective procedures one can do, as it is simple ,if you stick to the book's instructions and DO NOT vary from it.

Hi chris, you are making amazing progress, as I went thru it all over a span of 25 or so years. here are some links to help you detox more effectively!http://www.yogalifestyle.com/BKPKAncientSecretI.htm This one is about the 5-6 Tibetan Rites. They are also exercises which reverse aging, as well as help in detox!

http://www.newstarget.com/015187.html Read the newstarget one. It blew me away as I have been saying this for years, and I finally have found documented/clinical evidence, besides my own experiences!!!! Also Google "The Tree of Life" site, by Gabriel Cousens.

[nickatnoon61]

Actually I tried that stuff at least three times (different people), one of which burnt my gut to fuck and came out much worse which was when I had to go straight into a 10 day fast just to sort that problem out.

Yes chris, one does not have to spend a lot of$$$$ on gimmics! JUST DO NOTHING!!!! Meaning, give your body a break, by NOT EATING! You can also do wheatgrass enemas and take it internally. there is nothing better for your health! lots of purified water, also. It takes a certain amount of discipline and the benefits are life-changing as you well know! I did a 50 day last spring, and I am ready for 2 week or so one as I am getting fat from sitting on my arse at the computer!!! ha ha A lady, whom I met on the old DIForum did 40 days her first time. That gave me the determination to beat her!!! ha ha http://www.mastercleanser.com/ This is one I highly recommend!

[nickatnoon61]

Dondaz...it is called shite!!!! ha ha Makes you think eh????? Toxic body, toxic mind. What do think those mindless piggies you video tape, all the time are full of???? ha ha ha

[nickatnoon61]

I am not that thin:) I am quite normal, I don't really gain or loose weight. My stomach got very empty which reduced my beltsize but my fat just sizzling down, not too bad. I hear if you go past 40 then it really will show... I lost around 25 lbs. on my 50 day fast. That is exactly where I should be AT ALL TIMES, around 180-185 lbs. My energy levels were extraordinary!

[nickatnoon61]

I don't understand... how you can fast for 27 days without food or juice... and not have your blood sugar completely gone...

28thK, fasting is THE BEST thing anyone can do for their health!!!! PERIOD!!!
Of course, you will not get any positive info about fasting from the MEDICAL MAFIA! To them, you are an imbecile, piece of meat, to extract $$$$ from!!! Google the subject and LEARN, pal!!!!

[nickatnoon61]

shit is no joke man, I felt excruciating stomach pains when I did a detox. Yes Trumansho, the worst part is the first 3-5 days, depending on how toxic one is. After that, the body starts to rejuvenate/energize, and one gets a feeling of euphoria! A natural high!

[nickatnoon61]

Whoah! I think I'll stick to my coffee and McDonalds diet for a while.
That account sounded awful!

R U serious?????? :eek:

[byrdsmaniac]

Seriously, this part sounded really frightning to me:
"After day 15, I didn’t have any experiences whatsoever (hardly even dreams). I was just a breathing mass, no personality, I felt inhuman."

[whitenight639]

Thanks for the link cris...

how many of you fasters smoke? i wonder about the effects of smoking whilst not eating, i kno i really got to give it up. I'm gonna go for a 5 day fast to start of then in a few weeks go for 10 hopefully i can build up my will power and might find it easier to quit smoking.

[franky000]

What is the actual purpose of fasting? Is it a kind of spiritual purification?

[relax]

This makes me want to fast, so just drink water everyday? That it?

[whitenight639]

What is the actual purpose of fasting? Is it a kind of spiritual purification?


i think its more physical purification but there is a spiritual element to it if thats what motivates you. Think about it, in general the human race as little as a few hundred years ago wouldn't eat everyday, especially when we where hunter gatherer tribes that moved around. so small fasts are natural, its not natural to eat 3 times a day everyday.

[wildhorse]

hey OP...well done...isn't fasting great.

Peeps who remain in ignorance whilst sharing their ignorance, are best ignored...

I would recommend everyone to at least do a 5day colon cleanse fast, and you don't need blessed rip off herbs...

I managed nearly 21 days - think got up to 18? not sure...but the dreams you have are our natural state...we would all be that psychic and clued up when we are not dumbed down by additives via big food corps. It is deliberate

I have my own page on fasting with some really good links for those who wanna read past the disinfo about fasting being starving http://www.ahimsacosmetics.co.uk/inner_ahimsa_8.html

long live tha master cleanse ;)

again..well done to the OP :)

[whitenight639]

hey OP...well done...isn't fasting great.

I managed nearly 21 days - think got up to 18? not sure...but the dreams you have are our natural state...we would all be that psychic and clued up when we are not dumbed down by additives via big food corps. It is deliberate

I have my own page on fasting with some really good links for those who wanna read past the disinfo about fasting being starving http://www.ahimsacosmetics.co.uk/inner_ahimsa_8.html

long live tha master cleanse ;)

again..well done to the OP :)

How do you stop yourself losing concentration if your working?

That is the part I find really hard to deal with.

I fasted for 4 days a few years back, unfortunately I finished it off with a very hot prawn madras and, well, you can probably guess what happened.

Anyway, it was a positive experience over all and this thread is making me want to do this again.

Woah, you're meant to refeed carefully after a fast, sounds like you had a Jonny Cash moment!

[wildhorse]

well i hardly work tbh, as packing and labelling is done on my rug on the floor :D ...and i have no kids or hubby to feed with no other foody distractions -another plus. I just went nose deep into researching lots of spiritual stuff and stuff on fasting. I just took time out from the world and was ok concentration wise in that respects. But on a night....oh it got tough, the pangs in them first 3 days...but they did get better. I have no idea how I would do if I had to work the line like I once used to...spesh if I was on just water or water and fresh juiced lemon...

If you have a big work load then a juice fast would be better and would still give really good results, but the sugars in the fruit would keep you going. They say its best to go for this fast before you do a water fast if you havent fasted at all before, or have a naughty diet like I did ;)

[veritasvoice]

Been considering trying a fast for a while just to see if I can gain any benefit from it...might start small with a 2 day, and build up from there.

Though that Blessed Herbs link has convinced me that transhumanism is the right way to go - sign me up to become a Foglet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_fog)! ;)

some folk use diatomaeous earth for cleasing the colon, I use to kill bed bugs.

One day I plan to do an epic fast as well. I've sometimes thought that that's the way I want to leave the world, to just fade away. There's something noble about fasting, somehow. Well done Chris.

Ok thanks, I am not in to juicing becuase it's too much fannying around and you have to clean the juicers etc. I might do a 2 day water fast this weekend though :)

[wildhorse]

^ :D excellent...I know what you mean about the juicers tho...ffs...

good luck with it :)

Hmm, I'v been on one bowl of rice and veg per day for around 3 weeks now, due to lack of funds.

My animals get fed first.

Keep up the good work. I must send you a bank order when I return to school, without my mother asking me 20 questions.

Fasting is a wonderful exercise for spiritual growth. But I haven't menstruated in seven months and there's fuzzy white hair growing all over my body. Hm.

[simplify]

I've done fastings over the years, & I always get a nasty headache by the end of the first day, which stays for about 3 days......thats the part I find hard to get through. Does anyone else get headaches?

The first few days are the hardest, after that it gets easier.

[biblegirl]

Yeah I've done many juice fasts and there is usually a terrible headache on day 2ish, however I think I've found a way to sneak around this headache...have you heard of those kinoki detox foot patches that you wear to bed? If I wear these during a fast I either won't get the headache or just a light tolerable headache, NOT the killer migraine usually accompanied with fasts. :)

Juicers are such a pain to clean :rolleyes:. I did a 21-day with a juicer and it felt like all I did for 21 days was clean the dang thing.

biblegirl: I also have a great juicer, which spends most of its time in a box on a shelf. The juices are great, but too much work, & who has the energy when one is fasting. I'm a big believer in fasting, & I think we should return to the old traditions, when people would fast on Fridays. This gave the body a chance to rest and repair itself.

I have used those patches on feet, amazing how black they become after a few hours of wearing them. Have not used them during a fast though. Infra-red sauna, dry brushing, a few colonics during the fast helps to speed up the detox process.

I've got a juicer as well and just don't use it because of the mess it leaves. But I was thinking if I was fasting, I might just make a batch and leave it in the freezer. 21 days of juice though. Hmmm.

The nutrients in fresh juice lasts only approx 3hrs after the fruits have been juiced, so making a batch and freezing it would be of no beneficial value to your cleanse.

These are symptoms that anorexics get. The hair you're growing is called lanugo.

[lostwonderer]

How on earth did you get through a 27 day fast?! What did you do about the vitamins and minerals that you need?

[unusual_suspect]

Serious question for ladies. How do you manage to fast during your period? I find I get much more of an appetite at that time. If I get hungry at that time of the month I get really angry and agressive to the point where I seriously scare people. How do you cope with that?

[wildhorse]

US...on my last longer fast, I hit my cycle.

omg...NO PAINFUL CRAMPS like I used to have, and it lasted 3 days of minimal bleeding.

the probs with troublesome periods are stored toxins, clear them stored toxins and the painters leave a lot less mess and aggro ;)

as i happens I am on day 1 of a lil fast :rolleyes:

Cool :)

I don't get troublesome periods though, I just get extreme munchies for a few days before hand, I am like that right now. I am like a human waste disposal unit, I just have to eat loads!

The rest of the time I don't actually eat that much :confused:
