Today I’m starting a long, cleansing fast. Probably for 3-4 weeks. The last time I did this was approximately 6 years ago.
I’m doing this to clean my colon and body and to hopefully rid myself of parasites. Trying to refresh my body after almost 5 years of being pregnant and/or breastfeeding–can’t do this while in that state!
I’m also asking God to make it a special renewal time spiritually.
It’s good timing because 1. It’s the first of the month so it’s easy to keep track of what day i’m on, and 2. because Vitaliy leaves Saturday for 3 weeks so I don’t have to cook for him. I have a hard time fasting while doing so much food preparation 
Started anti-parasite herby tablets today, too, made mostly of cloves.

Can you tell me more about the fasting? How did you decide to do it? What guidelines are you following?
