Fasting for 3 days

[AvsGuitarist]

Well here goes. I did my research and I'm going on a 3 day juice fast to detox my body.

I'll be off my 50mg of Prednisone after tomorrow so hopefully that will help things along.

I'll let you all know how it goes Thursday morning.

...erm, you shouldn't just abruptly stop a 50mg/day dose of Prednisalone. Have been advised to do that or are you just reducing your daily dose?

That's what I always thought too, but I guess there is a short course which ends in a week. This doesn't let your adrenal gland shut off or something, so it is safe to do if it has been doctor recommended.
(Something like that..)

Thanks for being concerned. My doc put me on a 7 day dose and I stopped at 30mg. I feel good after today. I read a lot of material and my I'm noticing things like my breathing is starting to get better (asthma/crohn's related).

Even after today it feels like it's working. Did anyone know green cabbage juice has Vitamin U in it and heals the walls of the stomach lining? Just found that out. Gonna load up on that.

Depending on how I feel I may fast longer cause right now I'm doin' great!

PS If anyone is interested I have accumulated a TON of links about fasting and detox and would love to share.

Glad you are feeling better! I like the idea of juicing but unfortunately I'm not very tolerant of a lot of fruit or vegetables. I occasionally will make a smoothie with probiotic yoghurt, strawberries and bananas though, it's quite nice as a meal replacement for when I'm not feeling so great.
