Think evolutionary biology. I didn’t know of a tribe that had food when needed 2. For those doubting the unhealthiness of famine sufferers. First, they were already nutrient- deficient to begin famine with, it’s not like they were prepping up vitamins and minerals before a famine strikes. Second, famine sufferers usually don’t engage in complete fasting because they would eat a little bit of this and a little bit of that, rather than to stay clean- cut at stage four. Why Fasting is Necessary. Over the years, we have been (still are) plagued by the chronic accumulation of: Cellular waste materials (there are actually scientific markers of waste rather than just calling them “toxins”)Modern dietary excess (various irritant proteins, GMOs, sugar, addictives, etc.)Frequent contact with industrial chemicals, environmental pollution. Physiological stress burdens (stimulants, lack of exercise)But we have an immune system. The body is continuously dealing with the toxic load, as we are feeding it more. When the body is unable to fend off, and is weak up to a point, autoimmune diseases like eczema arise. Even if you don’t have a health issue or a seemingly minor problem, it’s just going to get worse if you don’t care. Trust me, it’s not worth dismissing your health. I’ve had conversations with many fellow readers and many of them exclaim “I’ve never had a problem in the past, but suddenly I have eczema, what do I do?” Then they are crippled by the problem day and night. Don’t be the next. Rapidly rising numbers of autoimmune diseases is no new fact. Implicitly, more and more of us are losing the balance and the body can’t keep up. Fasting puts the body at proper rest for a focused recovery. We fast during sleep every day, until we eat again during the day. When digestion occurs again, it disrupts the natural recovery process (plus, it never gets to ketosis). Energy is the body’s currency, and digestion takes up to 5. Our goal is to halt digestion and thus divert this digestive energy directly into recovery. Not to mention 8. Hence, the massive benefit of letting it rest. How and Why Fasting Removes Eczema. There is a misconception about how fasting or some healthy diet works to heal a disease. It’s not simple black and white, or a tick off your to- do list. No doubt fasting is an extended period of time where we let our body do its job of self- healing. Here’s the concept. The body has an order of preservation. By stage 5 starvation mode, we would’ve lost much of our fats and muscles. But it knows not to use the muscle tissue from our heart, or the fats from our brain. Because the body follows sequences of importance. Likewise, recovery has a recovery sequence. If you fast for several days, your body heals certain minor injuries like skin abnormal growths, that weird spot of hair, and so on. Gradually, your body begins to repair increasingly deeper body damages. First week, your itching will noticeably reduce. Then, your wounds scab. Your discoloured skin seems to be clearing. But here’s the catch. Most people think when their eczema no longer itches (with decreasingly smaller patches), they mistake it for seeing eczema as completely healed like a task ticked off the body’s self- recovery to- do list. Recovery is not black and white, much of the time is in grey- zone. Eczema heals up rapidly during fasting because: You’re giving more rest to your immune system to repair itself (from more sleep and halted digestion). You no longer consume irritant dietary particles that were damaging your system. If you immediately eat some irritant food after fasting, it’s going to damage your digestive system again, and eczema is bound to reappear. Key: Your goal is never to heal eczema because eczema is not a problem you can directly tackle. Your goal is to let your body repair its immune system so it does not manifest damage, like eczema. Why did I fast? As some of you might know, I stopped updating CES since last August because I was turning Year 1. And like how my eczema returned in Year 1. I would have 3 coffees a day just to function. In short, I’ve graduated now and have time to update CES and respond to emails. I have much more to update especially in a change of the healing philosophy (as I’ve been reading a lot) and begin to understand eczema at a deeper level. This water fast was a kick- start to healing the damages I’ve done over the last school year. If you are still here, thank you for staying along. I’ll continue to make my findings as useful as possible. My 1. 0- Day Water Fasting Daily Journals (with pictures)*Feel free to skim the journals. They are just records of how I felt each day.*Pre- Fast Days. Note that people feel very strong withdrawal symptoms (i. It should be known that I’ve always eaten a diet low to absent in chemicals, gluten, dairy and sugar. Hence, the transition period was fine for me. Day 1. My fast actually started since noon yesterday (July 1. Family dog (Jing Jing) woke me up at 7. Took her for a walk and slept until 1. Went for a walk. Been reading stuff on my laptop. Had a headache since yesterday, but it seems to have reduced. Hunger- wise, only slightly in the afternoon. Drank around 6 glasses of water today. Can feel some weakness in the arms. Easy to get pins and needles if I sit on one leg over the other. Day 2. Slept at 1. Woke up at 6am by JJ. Went to the toilet but I felt extremely nauseated I almost threw up. I suspect it was due to different blood pressures from a sleeping position to suddenly rising up. Anyway, as I hastened back to my bed this feeling subsided. Slept for a few more hours until 1. Feels general fatigue. The headache is lighter but remains. Not much appetite, and the body feels warmer than usual. Took a 1- hour nap in the afternoon. Felt tired still. Took a walk with JJ. Suprisingly, didn’t feel too tired to walk her around. Bad breath since yesterday, despite brushing my teeth – it’s detox. Also, my younger brother infected me with chickenpox, which let me realize my strong headaches (which have stopped by night) were symptoms. But my chickenpox is mild. Slept at 1. 2. Day 3. Woke up at 4: 4. 8am and couldn’t fall asleep. Read for an hour and slept until 1. I didn’t get more chickenpox blisters. I seem to be pretty healthy after all! My legs feel a bit weak. Urine these days are quite yellow. Eczema- wise, my chapped lips and patches on my face are smoothening. My energy levels seem to have risen up. Weakness is only physical. My brain is still on rapid fire. Slept at 1am. Day 4. Woke up at 1. 0. Breath gets better. Napped in the afternoon. Hunger feelings from the stomach seem to have resided. While I miss food, it’s more of a mental habitual thing rather than actual craving, so that’s easy to ignore. Since I napped in the afternoon, I fell asleep at 3. My sleeping pattern is really messed up. Day 5. Woken up by JJ as expected, resulted in me waking up at 9. I noticed my heart was thumping a little harder than usual as I woke, but it later subsided. Day 6. Slept at 3 and woke up at 9 and napped again for 2 hours. Hunger feelings are very slight. The only downside is my body is generally physically weaker. Day 7. Slept at 2 and woke up at 1. Noticed the elephant texture on my arm crease patches are slowly smoothening; the discolorations are fading slightly too. I also noticed my tongue had a thick white coat. Probably had it days before too. Day 8. Slept at 1, woke up at 1. Had slight diarrhoea last night and this morning. More phlegm than usual. Thick white coat on tongue remains. Diarrhea periodically throughout the day. Day 9. Slept from 1 to 1. Still have a thick coated white tongue. Didn’t mention this before, but I had a few toothaches on both sides of my jaw for the last couple of days, which began to subside today. Urine has continued to be yellowish as I also feel less of the urge to drink water. Day 1. 0 (breaking)First bites after 1. Woke up at 9: 4. 0. My tongue is noticeably less thick. These few days I also have chapped lips. I broke the fast today. Had a fistful of melons starting at 2pm and thrice more at 2- 3 hour intervals, and also a small box of blueberries. Didn’t drink water for the entire day. There were occasional stomach pains, but only slight discomfort. Post- Fast. Didn’t feel too hungry. Blended a glass of juice with 1 pear, some coconut cream and water. Later had a bowl of rice vermicelli as breakfast with my aunt. Had two of my morning juices again in the afternoon. Slight stomach pains later. The next day, I had the same breakfast. And some plum juice. Improvements? Read below.
