I read up extensively on fasting many years ago. The main proponents of fasting back in the 1970's & 80's were Paul Bragg and Paavo Airola. They both believed fasting had enormous healing potential, but disagreed on how best to do the fasts.
Paavo Airola believe that fasting with fresh organic vegetable and diluted fruit juices, in combination with daily enemas, was ideal. Paul Bragg did not believe in doing enemas, and said water only, or water with lemon juice should be the only thing consumed.
I initially sided with Paul Bragg, and underwent several multi-day fasts. There were a few "high" points of feeling more clear headed, but I never felt a boost in physical energy, and a sense of well being.
I finally "resigned myself" to give the "unnatural" (as Paul Bragg put it) way of doing daily enemas and also drinking fresh juices. It made an enormous difference. I seldom felt as "weighed down" as I did with the water only fasts. They were also for the most part relatively easy to do, because I felt MUCH better while doing them.
These days, I frequently do coffee enemas, and feel it is extremely helpful in keeping my body detoxified. With so many toxins in our environment, it's a constant struggle for our body to keep up. I've come to the point of believing it's dangerous to try to fast these days without doing accompanying detoxifying enemas.
That's my story!
Do you mean fruit or vegetable juices? I can't do fruit unfortunately but I can do vegetables. I'll look into enemas too, probably one of the only things I haven't tried at this point, I would be afraid of doing so and moving around a bunch of toxins though and making myself much worse.
