Re: 12 days into water fast - seeking advice on blood testing and issues!

Hi Rob,

First, congratulations on making it thus far. Also your doctor has done an amazing job of doing a thorough blood panel.

Clean your tongue with a tongue scraper, it makes so much difference in your foul taste in your mouth. I use a scraper every morning even when I am not fasting. During fasting I scrape two three times a day.

1. No need to stop the fast and do heavy metal detox. You will have plenty time later on to do so. Continue with the fast.

2. Drink warm water like you are drinking tea. You can also drink hot water that way. It should subside the reflux. I always had reflux during my fasts at different stage in my fasts, sometimes on day two, sometimes on day 10, day 16, etc.

3,4,5,6. No reason to worry, this is all normal. If you want to learn about your blood chemistry compare your blood work results to your pre-fast results. That will tell you a better story. I have also had similar levels when in couple of my fasts when I got the blood work done.

I think you have done remarkable with the weight loss. Listen to your body, you have a feeling of you can go to day 30 easily and that is a great feeling. Don't stop.

Keep up the good work.
