Day 33: After today, just a week to go! My forty-day water only fast will be completed next Monday.
Looks like two of the nine symptoms I experienced during my hellish week four came from a good old fashioned viral or bacterial infection.  They included a sore throat and an ear infection. Still have a lingering cough, but otherwise my body healed itself without any antibiotics or over-the-counter medicines.
The other seven symptoms I experienced can be chalked up to my organs detoxifying. They included a major skin rash on my chest, itching sensations all over my back and lower legs, discoloration of my tongue, the taste of heavy medals in my mouth, vomiting from parasites dying (they had nothing to feed on and could no longer survive), more pronounced fatigue, and insomnia. For the most part, they are all gone now. The only thing lingering is the taste of heavy metals which Chris has me working on with some unique binding agents that will help dispel them. They get added to my water.
I don’t feel terrific, as I’m still feeling the normal after effects of being sick, but I’m getting my strength back mire and more each day. I’m now back up to walking an hour in the morning after a twenty minute cold plunge but I need to take breaks. My body still isn’t up to getting back in the pool yet to swim any laps.
Today I meet with Chris to go over my 20 day reintroduction to food starting next Tuesday. I’m really curious to hear the protocol. It is the question I get asked most often now. I will share it here.
One interesting thing to note is that I can’t remember the taste of food. Chris told me this would happen, but you kinda need to experience it to truly believe it.
Have a great week. I hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving. I will raise a glass of water to your honor!
