Update, day seven of the fast

I never thought I could fast this long, but here I am!

When my husband and I were in India sixteen years ago for the first all-India conference on urine therapy in Goa, we met a urine therapist, Kuzum Kapur, who had used the urine fasting method (very successfully) with some of her clients. She said, "this is not an easy therapy." I'm finding that she was right!

I had been told that after the first three days of a total fast you don't get hungry any more. I'm not finding that to be the case! Night before last we went to some friends' house to play scrabble, and they made some food. I felt ravenously hungry on smelling the food! Last night we had a few friends over for New Year's eve, and the same thing happened. I find myself craving certain foods! Watching television is impossible--all the food ads, designed to make people want to go out and buy the food, are too effective! I dream of the day when I can eat normally again.

John (my husband) and I discussed this problem this morning, and we decided that I should not be drinking the ounce of wheat grass juice that I had been taking in the morning--that might be contributing to the hunger. So now I'm drinking only water and urine, plus taking a selenium supplement, organic germanium, and iron. I also stopped drinking the Jason Winters tea. The hunger seems to be better today after making this change.

I lost a lot of weight at first and was very concerned about that. If I continued losing weight at the rate I was, I'd soon be down to a dangerous weight and would have to stop the fast. However, from yesterday to today I've stayed at the same weight: 116. That is 14 pounds lower than my "ideal weight."

Good news! I had been measuring the lump on my breast all along, and it had remained about the same size until last evening when I measured: it has shrunk about 1/2 inch (around the periphery). That raised my spirits, because with all the vitamin C and other cancer-killing herbs and alkaline water, I had not noticed any change at all! It appears there is some progress.
