Day 1 detox and fasting - after being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and arthritis (hips) in 2010 I have been very careful not to trigger pain and exhaustion episodes. Well, after 6-years of working full on from project to project with my Detox service and government health/social care services, I am right in the middle of one such episode. I guess you could say, I hit the wall. After waking up in full on pain again today I said to myself, enough is enough.
We have all read the numerous reports online and in the news about the benefits of fasting, food allergies having a systemic effect on our bodies, and how living a sedentary life speeds up the aging process. Some evidence based info on the benefits of fasting. I am still drinking tea, but no sugar, food or even fruit juice. Just water. I will aim for 3-days.

So Today I am starting a fast, taking time off work, exercising and getting well again. Started with a pain killer detox last night. Watch this space. If anyone else suffers from these conditions or related, would like to hear your story as well.
Things i did so far today - took time off work. Stretched and yoga. Had some homeopathic Aesculus 6c for back pain, Narayani Cleansing mix 3 times daily and water. That is it. Wish me luck.
