This is my 1st time on this thing and my 1st time shooting for a 40 day fast. I am most likely doing the first 3-5 days with water only, this being my 3rd day and only water being used. Then the remainder substituted with fruit and veg. juice as I feel led ,and, needless to say, water. I have done the week long thing so I was feeling the need to try 40 days.

I am doing this for spiritual reasons and not for any other reason. I do believe that God will sustain me if this is His will and I am waiting to see what happens. Jesus was able to do this and Moses did 80 days without any water.......OUCH! Listen...this is in NO WAY advice to do the same. The point being God had to sustain him through this. I have had many good friends that have done this and they say they'd never have wanted it any different. Sooooo I hope the same is true for me by the end of this thing.

I am seeing a doctor who, has done recently, and will do blood/urine tests every week. I do believe God wants us to act intelligent and take the steps necessary to keep safe........ not go into this on blind faith<------He doesn't require that and He has given us great doctors with a wealth of knowledge.
My doctor happens to be a Muslim and is in the middle of a fast himself so I think that I have the right person helping me through this.

I have done lots of homework b4 doing this and I would say the the same 4 anybody trying a fast of any sort. DO UR HOMEWORK! Make sure this is 4 u.

You may b one who has a problem with something like hyponatraemia, also known as water intoxication.<----- must have electrolytes!!!! If u dont know what it is then u r most likely not ready and need to do a bit more research b 4 starting.

Go to the doctor too.

I hope to be back soon.
