3rd Day

This is the 3rd day for me i am mostly just Water Fasting right now although i want to Master-Cleanse all the way starting tomarrow. i am going for 15 days this time although what i really want to do is 30. I am excited for the clear thinking. here is something that encourages me to go the next step to see the results and a explaination of the Master Cleanse. Physiological Process of the Master Cleanse

Here is an overview of the detoxification stages during a juice fast.
The
time periods are a general estimation.

Stage 1 (Day 1 To Day 2)
On the first day of fasting, the blood Sugar level drops below 70
mg/dl. To
restore the blood to the normal glucose level, liver glycogen is
converted
to glucose and released into the blood. This reserve is enough for
half
a
day. The body then reduces the basal metabolic rate (BMR). The rate
of
internal chemical activity in resting tissue is lowered to conserve
energy.
The heart slows and blood pressure is reduced. Glycogen is pulled
from
the
muscle causing some weakness. The first wave of cleansing is usually
the
worst.

Headaches, dizziness, nausea, bad breath, glazed eyes and a heavily
coated
tongue are signs of the first stage of cleansing. Hunger can be the
most
intense in this period unless the enema is used which quickly assists
the
body into the fasting state by ending digestion in the colon.

Stage 2 (Day 3 To Day 7)
Fats, composed of transformed fatty acids, are broken down to release
glycerol from the gliceride molecules and are converted to glucose.
The
skin
may become oily as rancid oils are purged from the body. People with
problem-
free skin may have a few days of pimples or even a boil. A pallid
complexion
is also a sign of waste in the blood. Ketones are formed by the
incomplete
oxidation of fats. It is suspected that the ketones in the blood
suppress
the appetite by affecting the food-satiety center in the
hypothalamus.
You
may feel hungry for the first few days of the fast. This effect is
temporary. The desire to eat will disappear. Lack of hunger may last
40
to
60 days, depending on whether you are on water or juice.

The body embraces the fast and the digestive system is able to take a
much-
needed rest, focusing all of its energies on cleansing and healing.
White
blood cell and immune system activity increases. You may feel pain in
your
lungs. The cleansing organs and the lungs are in the process of being
repaired. Periodically, the lymphatic system expels mucoid matter
through
the nose or throat. The volume excreted of this yellow-colored mucus
can be
shocking. The sinuses go through periods of being clogged, then will
totally
clear. The breath is still foul and the tongue coated. Within the
intestine,
the colon is being repaired and impacted feces on the intestinal wall
start
to loosen.

Stage 3 (Day 8 to Day 15)
On the latter part of an extended fast, you can experience enhanced
energy,
clear-mindedness and feel better than you have felt since childhood.
On
the
downside, old injuries may become irritated and painful. This is a
result of
the body's increased ability to heal during fasting. If you had
broken
your
arm 10 years before, there is scar tissue around the break. At the
time
of
the break, the body's ability to heal was directly related to
lifestyle. If
you lived on a junk-food diet, the body's natural healing ability was
compromised.

During fasting, the body's healing process is at optimum efficiency.
As
the
body scours for dead or damaged tissue, the lymphocytes enter the
older,
damaged tissue secreting substances to dissolve the damaged cells.
These
substances irritate the nerves in the surrounding region and cause a
reoccurrence of aches from previously injured areas that may have
disappeared years earlier. The pain is good as the body is completing
the
healing process. The muscles may become tight and sore due to toxin
irritation. The legs can be the worst affected, as toxins accumulate
in
the
legs. Cankers are common in this stage due to the excessive bacteria
in
the
mouth. Daily gargling with salt and water will prevent or heal
cankers.

Stage 4 (Day 16 to Day 30)
The body is completely adapted to the fasting process. There is more
energy
and clarity of mind. Cleansing periods can be short with many days of
feeling good in between. There are days when the tongue is pink and
the
breath is fresh. The healing work of the organs is being completed.
After
the detoxification mechanisms have removed the causative agent or
render it
harmless, the body works at maximum capacity in tissue proliferation
to
replace damaged tissue. While a short fast will reduce the symptoms,
a
longer fast can completely heal. Homeostatic balance is at optimum
levels.
The lymphatic system is clean except for a rare discharge of mucus
through
the nose or throat. After day 20, the mind is affected. Heightened
clarity
and emotional balance are felt at this time. Memory and concentration
improve.

Stage 5 (Breaking the Fast)
The sticky, toxic, mucoid coating on the intestinal wall is loose,
and
the
first meal frees it from the intestinal wall. Toxins enter the blood
through
the colon. The gallbladder dumps its waste in a heavy discharge of
bile.
This can cause an instant bowel movement upon eating followed by
intense
diarrhea. If the symptoms are too uncomfortable, an enema will help.
