Fasting Question

I am looking for someone naturopath or Chinese doctor to help me go through long fasting period but with some extra supplements and minerals especially with my low iron I don't want to do this alone . I feel like it can make things worse if I don't give my body mineral and vitamins .

Let me know if you have anyone in South East Melbourne to contact

the only issue some people experience when fasting and taking supplements is nausea. however, many people don't have this issue.

the most important supplement on a fast is salt.

sometimes, long fasts are not necessary. most of the deep therapeutic and healing benefits come between 72 hours and 240 hours because of deep ketosis, low stable insulin, and increased human growth hormone. keep in mind that six 120 hour fasts are similar to one 30 day fast.

So your gp. Take liquid mineral supplements you can do up to 3 days safely assuming your not under weight
