Water Fasting

It sounds as though it's winter there. Maybe instead of having mangoes and celery - having a bone broth soup which would be much more warming. the ginger tea sounds like a good choice as it would have warmed you up. Hypothermia isn't good

It's actually the 6-month equatorial summer, but the nights and early mornings are cold because of the clear cloudless skies where I live in the thin air at 9,000 ft.

Right now at 8 am the room temperature here is still just 48ºF (9ºC), but I'm totally 100% fine, feeling nice and warm, and everything is all normal again. (Hot chocolate is clearly the remedy of remedies. :ROFL: :muscle:)

It'll be a hot day pretty soon (with off-the-scale UV levels), and my dog Mara and I will definitely be heading to the mountains again for a couple hours. No celery this time! Dried apricots instead, a much better, slowly-digestible energy treat. :)

Glad you’re ok Bill. I was gonna ask you if the hot chocolate had any medicinal purpose but you answered that. :sun:

Thanks! And all's most definitely 100% fine. :muscle: On our sunny hike today I felt fitter and stronger than I'd done in a long time.

The very short-lived hypothermia thing was pretty weird. All I can think is that my internal thermostat just went wonky for a short while, somehow confused by my carb intake after the fast. But now I know that hot chocolate is such an instant fix, I'll be sure to reach for it again at even the slightest excuse! :P

Well, I've been fasting again. Last Oct. I got news I didn't want to hear and refused a biopsy. Did a lot praying and started a10 day water fast. Changed my diet to an alkalizing plant based diet...no sugar! or anything with it!
My next DR. visit is in Sep. so hoping all my fasting and good healthy eating has had an effect on that bugger!
I walk 3 miles a day with friends, do all my own housework and gardening. Got a frequency generator and red light therapy wrist band. Am taking loads of supplements plus RSO tabs.
Been doing 20 min. of sun (when the sun shines here). So far have not tried Fenben/ Ivermectin /sour sop or urine therapy.
My body seems to tolerate 5 days of water fasting with minimal complaints...so my regular practice is fasting 5 days every other week.
The one good thing about my lifestyle is having to buy smaller clothes...and I am no longer considered obese.
Life's good and I do really feel Blessed.
