So, I just finished my second round of ARL. I am switching over to TEI, and sent my hair sample out to Katherine last week. I wanted to try and sneak a 10 day fast in there. Was thinking about to starting this sunday with a buddy of mine. My question is, if i do that, does it screw up the ratios on my hair test that I just sent in? Will it make the supplement recommendations pointless because the snap shot of my minerals would have been prior to the fast? Or would I be okay to go through with the fast, and then still take the recommended supplements after the fast? Appreciate your input!
water fasting while on TEI....good or bad?

Fasting can change things pretty dramatically - check out freeflow's pre/intra/post-fast hairtests. If you want to fast, I'd say do it during a break from nutritional balancing and take another hair test a month or two after breaking it.
haha all CAPS. guess thats my answer.
problem is I've already started the nutritional balancing, and am waiting the results of my third hair test. If i do it now, i would probably throw things out of wack. My guess is, I should wait until i finish up a round of supplements, and do it then, before sending out my next hairiest.

-I think it's fine if physically fit... or like in a good place... --Water fasted 8mo ago... and started TEI., if I started getting horribly sick (I will not), I could switch to water fasting, maybe taper down supplements (if it's like 18-21 capsules a day), i you want to do that, or finish the round then try that.
-It depends where you are in recovery -- TEI 8 mo ago might be like water fasting was (a major first step towards recovery). Right now it's fine, but it's only day 3, already feel positives tho, like muscle pump returning in workouts. So I get tired or figure that's enough lifiting light or medium and only like a high rep range versus an insanely high rep range for total workout.
-Helen suggests giving these mineral balancing protocols at least 3 rounds, IIRC.
