Day eleven: end of fast

Yesterday (day ten of the fast) I felt grouchy, weak, and shaky. Last night I awoke around 3 AM, having had a dream that I can't remember now, but I had the strong feeling that it was time to break the fast. I have not realized the results I had hoped for (the lumps disappearing), but I felt a little alarmed by the racing of my heart in the middle of the night when it should be resting and by my weight loss. Yesterday I was down to 113, and later in the evening 114 (probably from the water I was drinking--been drinking a LOT of water!) I dozed a bit after that, but couldn't really sleep.

John was awake by 5 AM, and I told him of my decision, and he agreed that it was probably the right one. He got up and cooked some delicious red lentil soup; I stayed in bed and dozed some more, but I could smell the aroma in my sleep, and it felt so good to know that I would soon be eating some!

I drank some Jason Winters tea when I got up around 8:30, and took my selenium and iron supplements, as well as an immune boosting supplement I had been taking before the fast. Then I sat down with a hot bowl of the lentil soup.

AHHH! I've never tasted anything so good! John had spiced it with Indian spices, including a lot of tumeric. It was the perfect thing to break the fast. He warned me not to go too fast--just eat a little, then eat a little more later, etc. I could feel the warmth and nourishment of the soup go throughout my whole body.

After eating I went in the sauna and rubbed aged urine all over my body (again--have been doing this ritual morning and evening since starting the fast), then came in and put the infrared heat lamp on my breast while I read in bed. Then I showered to wash off the old urine smell and dressed. I feel SO much better! I have some energy again. I ate some more soup, and after about an hour ate some more!

I'm planning to eat very simply now, eating only low glycemic index foods which hopefully won't feed the cancer cells. I'll have to do a little research to plan this diet, but I know I want lots of greens, and no refined carbohydrates. More on the diet later.

For now, I am just so happy to be eating again! Maybe I should have stuck with it a few more days, but I was feeling so miserable, I think this is the right decision.
