Hey everybody today is day six of the intermittent fasting raw food challenge.
So congratulations to everybody. You've almost gone halfway and for me, you know,
this is fairly easy since I've already done water only fasting for eighteen
days, but you know this is a good way for your body to start getting used to small
independent changes ultimately going up those stairs.
You know just if perfect health is up here at the top of the stairs, and
disease and cancer is at the bottom of the stairs, just if you're taking one
step every single day you're making progress, and making progress. So I want
to answer some more questions, the first question is how many hours do you
recommend intermittent fasting for beginners? Well I mean anything really, I
mean, if you want to start let's say 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. would be your
feeding time that would be 14 hours. I would say that would be a good minimum
amount of time that I would start with would be 14 hours. That would mean from 8
o'clock at night all the way until 10:00 a.m. in the morning you're not eating
and then what we're doing now is a really, really good one which is the
16-hour and that's obviously we're not eating from 7:00 p.m. to 11:00 a.m. in
the morning and then we're also incorporating the raw food aspect into
that. So that's even better, so your body is getting right now 14, I mean I'm sorry
16 hours of rest and healing time and because we're all eating raw food
during that period of time, we're getting that extra
boost of energy and nutrition, and you know, if some people out there juicing
that's even better. I'm trying to drink one to two green juices every
single day. So any fasting is good for beginners, I mean, if you even wanted to
do let's say 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. I mean that's, you know, that's getting
closer and closer to what you know the general person's life actually is, but
you know the more time that you give your body for healing the better off
you're gonna be. It's just a simple equation. Okay. Next question,
since titanium dioxide is in coffee creamers what do you suggest for a
substitution as a creamer for coffee? You'd be amazed at how many times we
were talking to people on the phone that have had chronic fibromyalgia type
symptoms, headaches, migraines, and joint stiffness, and pain and we analyze what
they're putting in you know they do a diary of all of their food items all
their liquids that they're consuming every day and you can pretty much bet
that if you're having any horrible symptoms that titanium dioxide might be
involved. We've completely gotten people off of titanium dioxide and all of a
sudden within weeks, even days, their pains go away, they're able to move, and
it is extremely damaging to the body. That's why I brought it up, but the good
news is there are many many coffee creamers out there vanilla whatever
flavors you want that do not contain titanium dioxide anymore. I routinely,
like probably once a month, I'll go to Whole Foods and go through the natural
medicines still I mean not in the natural food stores just to see what new
stuff is coming out and I'll go aisle by aisle you know just to see how things
are changing, and we're making huge progress with the
non GMOs, the certified organic stuff, the biodynamic products that are coming out,
which are like organic times a hundred, times a thousand for effectiveness. So
the good news is I've seen a lot of different coconut creamers, almond milk
creamers, pecan milk creamers, with no titanium dioxide. When product, this is
the next question, when products like the Gatorade bottle I'm looking at say
natural and artificial flavor what exactly does that mean in modern terms,
can't that be variations of msg? Yes it can be variations of msg and a lot of
different toxic substances can be legally allowed. To say natural flavoring
you know there's a deception that's going on all the time in the food
industry. They want to hide all these chemicals from you, I mean, can you
imagine if you went to the grocery store and on the box of the food or on the
label of the meat it says contains 500 thousand parts-per-million lead, contains
glyphosate, contains, you know, a list of like 50 different chemicals, in there as
a disclaimer. It's almost like,
there's almost like, just being fully transparent.
I mean if companies were fully transparent with all the stuff they
found in the products and the thing is you're not even required to test for any
of that, so you know all of these things that are just chock-full of chemical,
after chemical, after chemical and especially the natural and artificial
flavors, those are very hard to distinguish. First of all I would
recommend not even having Gatorade in your house at all. You know, Gatorade is
nothing more than water with some artificial colors in it,
artificial sugars, sweeteners, or high fructose corn syrup. I mean, getting with
synthetic vitamins and nutrients you know I talked to professional athletes
that come see me because they want to figure out how they can improve their
game, or increase their speed, or their agility, or whatever, and it's amazing to
see what professional athletes what their diets are, the lack of nutrition,
the lack of education. I mean we can improve somebody's abilities by ten
percent just by getting them on healthy foods and avoiding all the chemicals
they may be exposed to on a regular basis. So first of all, you know, that's
just just a telltale sign. I mean, you should not even have Gatorade in your
house to begin with, get off of it, get organic. Get an organic sports drink or
better yet just use water with organic apple cider vinegar if you wanted to
sweeten it up a little bit. Use some organic stevia. Okay. Next question, is
Livatrex okay to drink during the whole cleanse? Livatrex, Zeotrex,
Paratrex, Oxy-Powder, I mean whatever you're gonna do during the cleanses is
going to be great. That's what we want to do. As a matter of fact, I did my liver
cleanse last night. I drank the six ounces of olive oil last night, laid on
my side, and today I'm just kind of relaxing a little bit, and you know
carrying on my daily activities. So I've already done one liver cleanse, in
October I did an 18-day water only fast, pretty much raw food since then, and
so I'm going continue as much as possible because in about, well let's see
on January 24th is when I turn 50 as I'm looking at turning 50 as not doom
and gloom but I'm looking at turning 50 as the second chapter of my life.
Basically as I am just a seed right now, when I turn
50, and I am about to start blooming into a flower for the next 50 years. So yes
you can take Livatrex, you can take all of the supplements, you know, it's
just gonna benefit you even more. And the last question for today is, can you shed
some light on this for me, I can't seem to fast more than 24 hours, this is a
very common question, without getting severe palpitations and an urgent need
to eat, help me what is this? Well whenever somebody tries to do a water
only fast, that's why dr. Goldhamer, myself recommend, you know, if you're
really serious about it, you want to do a long-term water only fast, just do it
in a medically supervised facility. You know, go out there to the True North
Health Center or call over there and they can give you a list of all the
doctors that have been trained to supervise a long-term water fast.
Especially if you try it yourself and you notice that you're having a lot of
symptoms, and that's why we all have to say, you know, this disclaimer all the
time. Water only fasting is the is the most beneficial healing thing you can do,
but at the same time most people experience some pretty hardcore symptoms
in the first three or four days, and a lot of them think they're dying, and they
run to the hospital, and they go to the emergency room, or they're you know
something that you definitely want to be aware of and do your research, a lot of
research, first before you make that decision, but heart palpitations are a
very common thing in water only fasting. I mean that happened to me it happens to a
lot of different people, skin rashes, pains, I mean just all kinds of things
can happen when the body is in that rapid healing mode, and in the hunger as
well. I mean at 24 hours, I mean that is, all of us that do water only fasting are
going to be hungry usually up until the 48, or maybe even the 72, hour mark, or
past the 72, hour mark, that's when your body is using up the rest of its glucose
and going into a state of ketogenesis, or ketosis, and
that's when you know you start getting that dizzy when you start running out of
glucose completely, when your body makes that shift into ketosis. That's when we
get hungry, and dizzy, and that's when you really should, you know, be resting a
little bit. I remember the first time that happened to me and I started
feeling dizzy, I started getting really hungry, and I just laid down and 45
minutes later I just popped up with all kinds of energy, and it was gone. It was
that shift from burning your glucose, or getting out of glucose, and going into
ketosis. All right so that's my update for today. I hope you guys have a
wonderful day and I will catch up with you later.
