health, juice fast home stretch

Part 3 (Day 8 to Day 15)On the latter part of an extended fast, you can experience enhanced energy, clear-mindedness and feel better than you have felt since childhood. On the downside, old injuries may become irritated and painful. This is a result of the body’s increased ability to heal during fasting. If you had broken your arm 10 years before, there is scar tissue around the break. At the time of the break, the body’s ability to heal was directly related to lifestyle. If you lived on a junk-food diet, the body’s natural healing ability was compromised. And here's the good part.
During fasting, the body’s healing process is at optimum efficiency. As the body scours for dead or damaged tissue, the lymphocytes enter the older, damaged tissue secreting substances to dissolve the damaged cells. These substances irritate the nerves in the surrounding region and cause a recurrence of aches from previously injured areas that may have disappeared years earlier. The pain is good as the body is completing the healing process. The muscles may become tight and sore due to toxin irritation.That's why I say rest if you can take a few days off if you can. It wont be to bad the soreness but it will work better and faster if you can rest a little. Besides it's not just your body we are dealing with your brain needs to learn new way of thinking. The legs can be the worst affected, as toxins accumulate in the legs. Cankers are common in this stage due to the excessive bacteria in the mouth. Daily gargling with salt and water will prevent or heal cankers. This doesn't happen much but I want you to know so you dont freak. If you are drinking a lot of veg. not fruit juice it don,t seem to happen. that another reason I try and get people to do all veg, at least 98% veg the first two weeks well three weeks.
