    Yo Mike,
    Hope you are doing good, hell I have seen you look better…no pun intended. What is the plan…how many days have you set as a goal or are you letting the body tell you when. Stay cool and be good.

    Hi,
    I've seen a few of your videos from the last fast you did, glad to hear your mom got through it :) . I just wanted to thank you for your openness about your experiences, it's really helped me in considering this process of fasting. The longest I've gone was three days, which I quickly discovered is not a good thing to do while trying to participate in undergraduate classes. Anyway, I'm planning a two week fast, two weeks from now during winter break, any advice?

    Please shorten your videos. More info and less unnecessary chatter. I hope to receive your information with more quality and less quantity.
    Take this constructively.

    Hi,
    You should read Mantena Satyanarayana Raju books follow the link below.

    http://www.mantenasatyanarayanaraju.com/ebooksn…

    He has a lot of videos but they are in native language not in english but the books are written in english. He mentions about water fasting not sure in which article but he suggests taking a glass of water once and then after an hour taking a glass of water with honey as it provides us with energy.

    Lot more in his books. Hope you get some more good information.

    Good Luck

    Just begun my first water fast, not very far into it, just day 2 now. I know you are not a doctor nor a specialist in this area but from personal experience what would you say the most difficult stages of fasting. From what I hear its day 2 and three… Suppose if varies from person to person. For my first fast I plan on fasting for 5 days only, will this have any beneficial effect or am I wasting my time?

    Previously fasted 10 days. Understand first 3 or so days most difficult and clarity of mind and more energy and lightness comes closer to day 10 or so. But am wondering about a longer fast. Have read a claim that some new feelings come into play around day 20. Can people share the worth in trying for longer fasts beyond 10 days and explain the difference in feelings from the day 10 (or so) boost feeling to later days. Must be something because so many things read about a magical day 23. So far I’m planning a 23 or so day fast just because of what I’ve read. I want to reach that enlightenment.

    Not saying he’s right or wrong, but here is Paavo Airiolas experience with water fasting without enemas, vs juice fasting with them

    FASTING WITHOUT ENEMAS CAN BE HARMFUL

    I have seen rather horrifying examples of what prolonged water
    fasting without enemas can do. A few months ago, a man arrived at
    our Spa from recent treatments at a famous American clinic where
    he fasted for 32 days on water. During all this time he was
    advised to stay in bed. He was given no enemas or colonic
    irrigations. He told me that it took him two months “to
    recuperate” from this fast and get on his feet. He was still in a
    very weak condition with damaged kidneys and severe edema in his
    legs. Several former patients of this particular clinic advised
    me that they were told at the clinic that it takes an amount of
    time equal to the fasting time to recuperate from the effects of
    fasting. That is, one month of fasting will require one month of
    recuperating time. When this man told me of his experience, I
    showed him one of my patients, who was just completing the last
    day of his one-month juice fast. He was active all the time
    during fasting, walked 3 to 5 miles each day, took yoga and other
    exercises, had enemas twice a day, and felt on the last day of
    the fast stronger and healthier than before the fast. He was
    actually loaded with vitality. This patient did not need any
    recuperating period after his fast – his fast indeed was a
    recuperative and regenerative period!

    Of course, fasting is such a miraculous healing measure that even
    fasting on water and without enemas accomplishes some good in
    many cases. But how much better results the fasting would
    accomplish with the enema and the addition of raw juices!

    Thank you for those two links. I am a newbie into day 5 of my water fast. I’m getting very sound guidance but more info the better :-)
