For all of you who have any medical, emotional or physical problems need to face the music. ONLY YOU CAN HEAL YOUR BODY!!!! You need to research holistic approaches and stick with them. You learn things from your parents and family that are not healthy. Take charge and eliminate all the soda, icecream, chips and replace with LIVE FOOD. Vegetables, nuts, omega 3 and berries. I was once depressed and had chronic fatigue along with a host of other problems. It was only when I decided to go against my doctors and go holistic. I am depressed and chronic fatigue free. For those of you who are ill and think there is no cure, read the Water cure and and seasalt remedy.

For the one's that are claiming you are FAT... and the one's that are complaining about junk food & etc... Hear this... I was diagnosed with hypoglycemia, when, I was 15. I am now 41. Now, I am a full blown diabetic. I recently was bed bound for 9 months. I am now breaking down little by little. On top of that, since I did not take care of my hypoglycemic, I was diagnosed with schlerosis of the liver due to overweight and the diabetes taking over. Can anyone top that? You are right, you keep eating sweets, junk food and all the greasy foods. You will end up having cardio problems. This is one my other diagnosis. So, please take care of yourselves so, you won't have to leave your children and family one day. You can consider, my days are counted. FYI: When, my doctor told me... I cried for a week that my eyes looked like frog eyes. With prayers, my tears have been minimal. As I am telling you this, I am crying because it is so hard for me to know that I won't see my children grow up. YES, being active and staying away from pop and etc. it is a start. Oh, I was placed on a fat free diet and I lost 17 1/2 pounds in three weeks; perhaps my liver diagnosis will be reversed. Goodluck...

My Mother-in-law and I went on this fast for 3 1/2 days. I was leaving to come home, but I believe I could have done it a lot longer., the first two days were a little hard. Warming the water on the stove helped a LOT! I could tell my body was starting to cleanse. She is very knowledgeable, is 83, and in VERY good shape for her age! Anything you can do naturally to help your body is not crap - Sodas, Whoppers, and Greasy French Fries are Crap.
