DAY 50!!!!

Ok, so I MADE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It wasn't easy, I was at 100 pds on day 40 barely able to walk DOWN steps. It was incredible. 100pds (i'm 5'10) was my balance weight. I could loose no more weight. The last few to 40 seemed to be very difficult, making me believe my body had begun to utilize muscle as an energy source.

I broke my fast on the sabbath with a wonderful WATERMELON! I would suggest this as the fruit of choice of any long term faster as it is 90% water and chock full of vitamins. Yes, it was expensive. But , it tasted like ambrosia. no really. I ate the whole thing in 1 day, without pulp, and also about 6 grapefruit sans-pulp as well.+

Within a day, I had made a "broth" with tons of vegetables, and juiced some goodies (Kale, Carrots, Apples, Pears, Grapes) into just perfect juices for consumption. I was gaining back weight at about 2.5 pds a day...
Right now i'm about 120. They say you shouldn't eat once the hunger comes upon you, and sorry I don't agree. I lost 40 pds, so I ATE. I had lots of broth and juiced fruits, and by day 3, I had my first bit of "solid food" which I chewed until it was mush anyways.

Before I get into the food, and my personal miracle....let me tell you about BLISS.

IF Buddha and Jesus took a few days after their fast to just chillout, they were in BLISS, and I've experienced it. It's the most amazing euphoric feeling, one that I couldn't describe to you even if I wanted to. If for no other reason, That's why you should fast. The feeling would last for hours, where I'd find myself sitting in silence smiling. Once I started eating, which is a necessity, it slowly dwindled, but I realized I can call upon it rather easily, with a mini fast- and some quiet meditation. Therefore, I've decided to do this fast again, but maybe next time, I would like to do it in a secluded setting, or with others who are working towards a spiritual goal. Finally, the next time I want to alter my diet completely which at the current time is not possible.  So with that said, back to food.

MY MIRACLE follows. I'm am allergy person. You know, the guy who needs a gluten free, no peanut/tree nut/ no bananas, no raspberries etc...etc... Yeah, well, near the end of my fast as I was still cooking for my wife (yes I fasted all the way while cooking for my wife nearly every day) I smelled some Peanut Butter- something I knew I was very allergic to. I was told it was a genetic thing, my father is highly allergic as well. Well, On day 44, I tried something RADICAL. A Peanut Butter Jelly sandwich. I ate the whole thing, WITHOUT REACTION. Yes, I realized at that moment, I am healed of ALL my allergies, remember I was also having gluten issues which you can read in the start of this blog, but the bread on my PBJ (which was homemade- but still contained gluten) also gave me no reaction. Yes, cured I am.

So for all you allergy people, screw what western medicine tells you, you can be cured.

Other things I've noticed. My skin is super sensitive. I had to change my soap, and toothpaste (which I did early on in the fast) and I now was dishes in gloves. Dermasil lotion broke my hands out, and I now use shea butter. All natural.

Yogurt HELPED. Yes, Chobani. This was around day 43. I felt as though I needed it to make sure I had to good bacteria and it helped me alot. Everything runs like a whistle, in out quick. Chobani has been helpful in insuring that stays the case. I stocked my fridge with it on day 49.

Ganoderma infused coffee has been good for the last few ailments my body has been fighting with, and I'm happy I found it as well. I don't drink coffee often, but I've enjoyed this immensely.

Been to two buffets and just really enjoyed all the food. I've made an appointment with a Chinese doctor for acupuncture to make sure my intestinal issues are fixed, permanently.  This will be the final tune-up before I do this fast again around the same time next year, and I now know what to expect.

Thanks for reading this blog, and I apologize that I didn't update each day. Things got really personal there during the last 20 days, including loosing my cell service and having to switch, then having to order all new parts for my laptop. So I was communicationless, which God wanted so that it was HIM AND I. Makes perfect sense to me. So, one love to you, and BARUCHKA!
