I will apoligize now if I sound so passionate in my writing but I had first hand experience with fasting to cleanse my body because I heard it was full of toxins from and expert.
I lasted 18 hours and said, “Fu*k this! This just doesnt seem right!”
Here it is:
Problem: Too many pesticides in fruits and vegetables
Solution: Eat fruits and vegetables that are organic and pesticide free.
Problem: Meat, Fish, and chicken has too many hormones and its making me sick
Solution: Eat Meat, fish, and Fruit that that grazes freely on grass or in the wild that doesn’t have chemicals and is hormone free.
What the majority thinks: My body’s organ’s are not capable of cleaning themselves out so I will starve myself by going on a fast/cleanse where I reduce my caloric intake to dangerous and possible fatal levels.
They have heard from an “expert” that the toxins must get released into your blood stream and your body must cleanse before you start to feel better.
What I think: That’s bull freaken sh*t! The supposed toxins being released into your blood stream etc. is actually the physical symptoms of low blood sugar and your body’s way of telling you that it needs fuel.
Here are some of the symptoms of low blood sugar (not a body releasing toxins)!
•feel hungry or have “hunger pains” in their stomach
•feel shaky or like they’re trembling
•have a rapid heart rate
•feel sweaty or have cold, clammy skin
•have pale, gray skin color
•have a headache
•feel moody, cranky, or irritable
•feel drowsy, weak, or dizzy
•be unsteady or stagger when walking
•have blurred or double vision
•feel confused
•have seizures or convulsions
•lose consciousness (pass out)
Here are the symptoms of starvation (not a body releasing toxins):
•shrinkage of such vital organs such as testes (my balls!), gradual loss of their functions
•chronic diarrhea
•anemia
•reduction in muscle mass and consequent weakness
•lowered body temperature combined with extreme sensitivity to cold
•decreased ability to digest food because of lack of digestive acid production
•irritability and difficulty with mental concentration
•immune deficiency
•swelling from fluid under the skin
•decreased sex drive
Wow!
Thats so interesting how all of these symptoms sound exactly the same as what the experts say is “toxins leaving the body”!
Here is what I think. Obviously I’m thinking it because I’m writing this!
If the fuel that you are cleansing your body with does not allow you to:
1. be as strong as you can possibly be (within 3 hours)
2. run as far as you possibly can (within 3 hours)
3. think sharply and strategically (within 3 hours)
4. operate at the highest physical level if there is an emergency (within 3 hours)
Then you are probably following a freaken myth passed down by a starving hippy in the 70’s that needed to justify why they were not eating!
More Solutions: Try 30 days of conscious eating and drinking.
1. No alcohol,
2. No smoke,
3. All organic fruit and vegetables
4. All organic meat, fish, and poultry
5. Drink 1 to 2 gallons of water
6. Take a multivitamin (yes I believe in them)
This will provide your body with the fuel it needs to perform at a high level but also balance it out without breaking it down and starving it.
Warriors protect your mind!
It’s the only one you have!
