The problem is that there are so many remedies and every single person is different. 100% raw vegan is suppose to heal most or all illness, but again it depends on what one's health issues are. Many health problems are hidden. Tons will say they healed their mental illness on raw. Some have healed them on fasts, especially water fasts.
So the correct way would be to put together your own team of health professionals that can help you fast, while making sure there are no negative effects. Having support is very important. You can fast on your own, especially if you don't have a dangerous condition. If you want to try it yourself, I would suggest starting out slowly with a 1 day fast. Water fasts can be very hard to do so you'd want to see how your body could handle it. |
Well, I have already done several short-duration water-only fasts. The longest one only lasted 5 days. I just completed a one-day water fast yesterday, and then broke the fast by consuming nothing but vegetable-juices for about a half of a day; from there I went back onto my regular diet, which does not contain any processed foods, dairy, gluten or sugar. It is basically a diet consisting of vegetables, fruits, beans, mushrooms, ground flaxseeds, and oat bran (and I blend all of my food in a blender btw).
I do not have the money to hire trained professionals just for fasting. I am currently seeing two psychatrists and a counselor, but I wish that I could see someone that is experienced in holistic healing for pscyhological disorders instead of seeing the mainstream professionals. I do not agree with mainstream science at all. In fact, I do not agree with anything that is mainstream.
It is good to hear that someone does know what I am talking about regarding fasting being used to cure oneself.
