My 24 hour fast..hour number 17

"Everyone has a doctor in him or her; we just have to help it in its work. The natural healing force within each one of us is the greatest force in getting well. Our food should be our medicine. Our medicine should be our food. But to eat when you are sick, is to feed your sickness."--Hippocrates, M.D., 460-377 B.C., Father of Western Medicine (http://www.fasting.com/solution.html)

So, I have decided to undertake a 24 hour lemon water, with honey fast, and I am almost at hour 17! It's a Spring cleaning of the body!

In 4 minutes, it will be both my hour 17 and noon, and Dr. Masaru Emoto, well known for showing the world that water is an entity unto itself, has asked the world to join together at noon and pray for the health and healing of the contaminated water in Japan, by saying the following:

“The water of Fukushima Nuclear Plant, we are sorry to make you suffer. Please forgive us. We thank you, and we love you.”

Please say it aloud or in your mind. Repeat it three times as you put your hands together in a prayer position.

Thank you very much from my heart

With love and gratitude

Masaru Emoto

Messenger of Water"

Please offer your sincere prayer"

I've just done my prayer for the water, and I know it will help with everyone praying too.

It's amazing how fasting is such a miracle healer, apparently, what happens is that your body starts to rid itself of any and all toxic substances and uses up what is already stored in you and, because it doesn't have to work hard digesting and processing (solid) food, this makes the scouring and cleaning out that much easier. Your blood, organs, spirit and emotions get cleansed. Even if you don't believe in, say, spirit, from everything I've read and from talking to people who have done hard-core fasting, your whole perspective changes.

Basically, it's giving your entire body a rest. All your organs, including the skin, don't have to work so hard to rid themselves of toxic waste. It amazes me that the intestines, both large and small are about 23 feet, combined!

Fasts are not only amazing for clearing out the blood, and rejuvenating the inner body, but they also help heal disorders including depression and insomnia.

It makes complete sense. Fasting has been used to purify the blood and clean the body totally for thousands of years. Animals fast, without being told they'll have better karma, they just know they'll feel better if they don't eat.

Ok, happy fasting to me:)
Speaking of good karma and animals, here, faithfully, is my dear petition calling for the rights and protections of animals to be included in the Canadian Constitution.The link I have included in the biggest of all of the 17 postings.
