21 days of Breuss

[bruschi11]

I did it guys! 21 day fast is just about in the books. In 2 hours I'll have the lemon, egg drop soup with bone and veggie broth. I actually had some bone broth this morning and a bottle of breuss today to help the gut ease in, but waiting for solids till 630pm to make the 21 days complete.

I ended up starting with 3 days of water then 11 days of 16oz breuss and finished up with 7 days of water. I would not recommend doing it this way. It's like I finally found my stride around days 9 and 10 then after moving to water I had a tough couple of days or so on days 15 through 17. I had the right idea early on (stolen from [mention]Orion[/mention] lol) beginning with water then moving to breuss. During my next fast, if I don't go water the whole way this is what I will do.

I'm 29 years old and I've done a few things in my life- this was a serious experience. Its not over yet as the re-feed and regaining strength will take some time. I'm weak, very weak as my legs are just mush. I went from 173 to 148 lbs in 21 days. My before and after photos are pretty ridiculous the difference seen in me. Hunger dropped off quite a bit a few days in, but I got myself hungry quite a bit. I did a lot of reading regarding food, nutrition, recipes, and preparation for after fast so I really stupidly caused a lot of hunger on my own. Next time, I'll read a book, but I'm glad I have my whole diet prepared.

Mornings have been extremely hard getting up and doing things as I'm sure the blocking of cortisol has something to do with that. Sleep has been very choppy and it hasn't been easy getting to bed. This was all expected. Balance hasn't been great as the legs are just dead and I do get light headed when I get up from a laying down position- especially after a sauna or a hot bath.

I did quite a bit of pathogen killing during the fast. Rifing, colloidal silver, MMS, hot baths, infrared red light, and sauna. Cold/hot showers as well. I'm hoping these really have beat close to death a severe mycoplasma infection that really invaded my life the past 7 years.

I also did probiotic enemas on say 16 of the 21 nights (HOLD THEM IN- right before bed), spring water enemas 4 or so times spread out, and 1 coffee enema in the very middle say day 11. There was just so much toxic buildup in my system- the enemas smelled so bad.

Libido flashed its head a few times during the fast but the longer it went the weaker I got and its completely gone right now. I'm sure that will come back to baseline at the very least. I am more intrigued to really see how my CFS (chronic fatigue) issues improve.

In about 12 days I will begin a 3 day (50mg per) RU cycle. Hopefully we see some synergy here with the fast/ RU for the PFS. I'm not expecting the world here, but I do have hope. If not, I'm sure I can figure this out with the help of [mention]gbolduev[/mention] and this forum. Knowing I can fast for 21 days makes me believe I can pretty much do anything.

Lets keep on going!

Great work!!

Thanks again everyone.

I guess time for update. Day 4 off the fast now.

I'm seeing significantly less fatigue from daily activities, but its only been 2 days since I kind of "snapped" out of the fast. Brain fog decreased significantly as well- quicker, whittier. I'm also retaining liquids better and don't have to urinate as frequently and really only once max during the night.

Fatigue always my biggest concern so a full day out and about including work, gym, grocery store, cleaning just has been a lottt easier 2 days in a row now. While I'm a PFS dude, the CFS I dealt with was really more debilitating. I mean, I'm 15-20% sexually and that within itself is really depressing. I still found the CFS more bothersome.

Seeing the CFS improvements from my juice feast in late August to now this Breuss fast makes me believe that fasting really is an amazing tool for my specific body. I just hope this sticks. I'm doing my best to keep this re-feed as healthy as possible, but have cheated a little bit with blue corn chips (Dr. Wilson does love these though) and hummus.

Sexually, really seeing nothing yet. Still stuck where I was at, but again its only 4 days post fast and I know that it can take weeks to months to see the full effect of a fast on a person. Its all about discipline, following the CFS plan I've set in the past, while introducing the mineral balancing from [mention]gbolduev[/mention] . I will also be doing a 3 day RU cycle within the coming 10 days. Looking like Weekend after Thanksgiving I will trial as I will be on vacation in the sun that following week.

I did begin using high dose manganese (16mg per day), Trace minerals iodine, and Thorne Extra MV yesterday.

I'll end up closing this up and moving over to my blog. I'll have a larger blog post coming up with my plan from here.

To conclude this 2 full weeks after the fast- I have 3 areas where I made significant to major improvements.

Fatigue- Mine has been pretty bad for a long time and I'd say it improved pretty significantly. From my biggest concern to definitely something after sexual issues now. I can do things without fatiguing myself too much like golf, work all day and workouts with it. I'd say my fatigue before this was 7/10 and its down to a 4/10. But it really depends on my pathogen killing stuff as well.

If I go crazy with Rife, colloidal silver, apple cider vinegar, betaine- fatigue does come back. Die off of pathogens causes more fatigue. But its more like the body is better at handling the die off than it was before. The "herxheimer reaction" to die off is just a different feeling. Like before, a night of Rife and colloidal silver at times would leave me waking up pretty beat up. Now I just wake up without erection and a bit more tired than usual, but just getting up and doing a couple things gets me going.

It's still a concern but not the very top of my list like it once was.

Food allergies- Pretty much gone. The sniffles I used to get after eating questionable foods like almonds, corn chips etc. are just gone. Really no allergies to anything. This is remarkable. Sure if I go too big on a heavy carb meal I feel a little bit sluggish compared to before, but no actual allergies that made me feel like shit before.

Digestion: This is just awesome now. I think the probiotic enemas were HUGEEEE to be doing while fasting every night. I had severe chronic constipation as much as I didn't really understand it for years even before PFS. I thought it was normal to make bowel movements once daily. PFS made that literally once every 3 days. My first juice fast moved that to once a day or so. Now I'm making 2 to 4 great bowel movements with good looking stools a day. If I cheat, like I have a few times, with highly caloric days or not the best foods, I am still rapidly moving waste with my body. I am sooooo excited with what I've done with my gut so far here. This isn't going to stop as I'll be working with these probiotic enemas every other day and continuing with Alternative day and intermittent fasting.

My skin really looks good. Like it shines like it did when I was young, I don't lose my tan anywhere nearly as quickly. My hair may or may not be slowing in graying, but hair loss seems to be accelerating slightly (good thing?). Libido and erections actually took a hit but have slowly improved in the past week- now today on day 1 of RU its actually feeling a lot better. Strong libido surge and erections today.

I will say I was on injectable L-carnitine pre-fast and that helped erections quite a bit. I haven't included it post fast, but will be something I mess with eventually. Going to see where RU and/or mineral balancing bring me before including L carn again.

Lastly, I went from 174 to 149 and I quickly moved up to 162 post fast. I've been there for about 5 days now and I hope to stay in the 160 range. My visceral fat disappeared quite a bit and I'm looking to keep that off and further remove it.

I'm different from the average PFS'er with the major CFS issue caused by the mycoplasma/Lyme- but I just feel like my body is a lot more efficient in both killing pathogens and removing the waste products right now. Its just the feelings I get from activities that feel different and its hard to explain, but I've been feeling this stuff going on in my body for 5 months now. I understand my body- fasting is great for it.

I will be fasting at least once weekly on juice and broth and doing a liver flush every two to 3 weeks. RU cycles coming up. Mineral balancing. Herbs. Etc. etc. I know I will one day hack myself out of CFS and PFS!

Awesome update man! And great progress, I'm sure you will hack your way out of this.
With your allergies, fatigue, and digestion improved, you will hopefully respond well to RU/ further protocols.
