12. Raw Juice fast


Thursday night I began a 3 day juice fast. For the first day I made a carrot base juice with kale. The second day was was carrot with celery and parsley and the third day was carrot and dandelion greens. Because of a previous juice fast which did not have good results for me due to the fact that when I am on a fast my digestion stops therefore elimination stops. So this time I decided to to enemas while on the juice fast. Twice a day morning and evening to help clear out the intestines so that there is no reabsorbing of toxins into my system. I was also taking a list of supplements four times a day while on the juice fast which I will continue to take even after the the fast. This is the list of supplements:

herbal laxatives      2 tablets  twice a day
Bensonite clay      1 tablespoon twice a day
fish oil                  1 cap twice a day
NAC                     1 cap twice a day
Multi-vitamin           2 caps twice a day
Vitamin D              1 tablet twice a day
Digestive enzymes   1 cap twice a day  
Vitamin C              1000mg four times a day
Wheat germ oil      1 cap four times a day
Niacin                   50mg four times a day
Alfalfa              8 tablets four times a day
 I also have been adding liquid chlorophyll to all the water I have been drinking. The results have been mediocre. I was expecting much more by this time. When I began the fast on Thursday night my skin was still flaking some, pale, not very itchy, over all pretty good considering I have been on an all vegetable and fruit diet for the past 3 weeks. Some small spots were also disappearing which had me thinking that this is helping me. Here is what I have discovered. On the first day of the fast I was taking my myasthenia meds normally. 90 mg Mestinon 4 times a day. On the on the first day of the fast I missed the last dose. I did not think it was a big deal since I was seeing a difference in my breathing. It had been better the past few days. Also weakness was at a minimum, so much so that i was able to go for a mile walk two days in a row. On the second day I decided to purposely lower the dose and I took 60mg 4 times a day. On the third day I not only could tell a deference in my breathing and overall body weakness but it was also affecting my skin ( raised and itch skin but not very red or angry). I am not certain how the myasthenia is doing this but it is. I had noticed this on previous experiments I was doing but I was not certain. Now I am positive that the myasthenia is contributing to the psoriasis and possibly to the psoriatic arthritis. Today Sunday April 1st 2012 I will be taking myasthenia meds as prescribed and will keep an up-date on the psoriasis over the next few days.  I will continue the all fruit and vegetable diet as I see that it is helping and controlling many of the symptoms. As I break the fast I will have some blended fruit today and for dinner I will have some tofu for added protein which I feel I need.
