Started my first juice fast today - can you juice garlic?

[natural-girl]

Well, I have to say it's only day 1 and I feel good. I just recently started going raw, but I decided to try a juice fast to enhance the action of the colonics I am getting, and also to help dissolve my fibroids. (Thanks, Aleesha!)

Amazing news is that after 2 days of oil pulling and 1 day of juice fasting, both of these together have increased my vital force so much that it has uncovered the next homeopathic remedy I need, too. Great bonus that I never expected from fasting. :)

Anyway, I am going to try this for 15 days until my next ultrasound when they check to see how my fibroids are doing. If the raw food diet/detox/juice fasting and oil pulling hasn't shrunk them, I'm going to get a hysterectomy. But if the fasting/oil pulling/raw foods/herbs and detox did shrink them, I'll continue doing that.

edit to add:

Oh, one more thing...I noticed as I started my juice fast (I fasted on water all day until 4:30 pm, then started the juice fasting), that my kidneys really hurt!! I hardly ever have kidney problems...so I thought this was unusual. Has anyone ever had this symptom or healing crisis before?

Question....can you juice garlic? I have been having a crazy craving for garlic lately. If so, what can you put it in? Anyone ever juice garlic before?

Hi natural-girl...

I juice garlic all the time. I love it in my tomato/veggie juices. I think if you are wanting it... enjoy it ;)

Your kidneys are detoxing... just be gentle and kind to your body.

And remember... it didn't take two weeks to grow those fibroids so giving your body a mere two weeks to heal it is not all that realistic. That said... miracles do happen - gifting your body a fast... is one way to receive one!

Thanks for the replies.

Well, I've been working on the fibroids for years, with no luck. They are just getting so big that they are preventing me from doing a lot of normal things. In the last year, went to homeopaths, naturopaths, etc... but since last year, my uterus has INCREASED in size. No luck.

This is just a last ditch effort, but I'm praying for a miracle, because I really can't go on anymore with them this big. Last year, my gynecologist told me to have a hysterectomy because my uterus was as big as a 4 month old pregnant woman, and advised me to get a hysterectomy. Last week, after 1 year of homeopathy and naturopathic treatments...the nurse practitioner said that it seems bigger now.

So, I really have been working on the fibroids for a long time. I just can't keep putting this off anymore.

I understand that... but expecting a two week fast to fix this issue is not realistic. Giving it more time fasting... that IS realistic.

and... water fasting is more healing than juice fasting. but... juice fasting is healing as well. just less than water.
