Re: Day 3 of water fast (going for 5-7 days)

I see in another post on this page someone had mentioned that a person did a 40 day Orange juice fast and said "a dog bite scar flared, scabbed and fell off" so I'm not the only one. That's good news! And I know I've read on a few Raw Food sites where people have eliminated their scars on a raw food diet alone. I think if we give the body what it needs to do the job, it will do it. The hard part for us is giving the body what it needs! (Rest and proper nutrients) My first fast was a 40 day water fast. That may have been the break my body needed to do some serious internal cleansing. The second fast was a 40 day juice fast. That could have been when a lot of the healing and rebuilding was being done? Again, I don't know. But it did wonders for my body. I dropped 94 Lbs over the course of the first fast and the 2 months prior to my second fast. I was at my ideal weight when I began the second fast.


Some interesting facts:

Our changing bodies: liver - new every 6 weeks; skeleton - new every 3 months; stomach lining - new every 4 days; atoms - 98% new every year; and skin - new every month. (Deepak Chopra, Quantum Healing )

The entire lining of your stomach and both intestines is replaced every three days. (L. M. Boyd)

If 80% of your liver were to be removed, the remaining part would continue to function, and within a few months the liver would have reconstituted itself to its original size. (Isaac Asimov's Book of Facts, p. 323)

The skin is constantly growing from within, creating new cells that push their way outward. The whole process takes about one month. It's during your sleep that your skin does much of the work to replace itself. Twice as much as when you're awake. (Susan Smith Jones, in Let's Live Magazine) (L. M. Boyd)
