Hi Kris,
Would love to hear more about your fasting and the facility you will be fasting at. Especially would like to have soup recipe. I'll be 38 in a few months and was diagnosed with epitheloid hemangioendothelioma in the lungs in 2005.
Love & Blessings

Good luck with the fasting, Kris! The most I have done is about 4 days on juice last year. I have a hard time fasting with all the calories I burn.

Last Winter, I enjoyed 30 days of all juice (3-4 quarts a day) and 10 more days of juice and green smoothies. It was amazing and probably among the best I've felt in my whole life and I usually feel pretty damn good! You can check out my blog at www.rawinmontana.blogspot.com and go right the 1st day of the blog to see my Juice Feast! I just did 5 days of juice and havebeen the pondering the Wednesday liquids myself. Thank you for the inspiration and gorgeous honesty!!

I have just ordered a juicer, inspired by your diet adventures. I would love to hear more about the Wednesday feasts :-). A big hug from the Netherlands and thank you for the inspiration!

Oooo, Wednesdays sound great! Nice to know there will be others out there to do it together. My husband and I will fast/feast together and it definitely helps the cause. Where are you headed? I'm making arrangements for Cousin's Tree of Life for late spring/early summer, but for a 10-day. Can't wait.

love love love and here's to Wednesdays

I am now on day 7 of a juice feast (4 - 5 quarts of juice a day) and am aiming for 90 days total with a day of feasting each week thereafter. I juice feasted last fall for 23 days - felt absolutely amazing at the end and the blood test done after showed amazing results - raised my HDL from 34 to 47. The first 2 weeks of detox were pretty bad - felt like crap. I remember you saying in your film you wanted to do bad things with bad people - knew that feeling! By around day 20, I just couldn't believe a human could feel that good! I have not had near the detox symptoms this second time around and am feeling pretty great on day 7.

I am following the program at www.juicefeasting.com and highly recommend it for any at home juice feasters. They have the whole program there for free, or you can pay for an expanded view. I found the expanded view an amazing addition. The daily videos are extremely supportive and educational. There is also a community support group. People feast from anywhere from 1 day to 100. It's all good!

I would so love to try this...I turn to food when I am bored, depressed. When I slip into a dark place after chemo (I just finished number 62!), I nibble til I feel better and then, til I feel sick. Ugh. I will look to this space for ideas and encouragement. A Wednesday feast would be so great. Thanks to this entire, amazing Village. You all ROCK!!
hugs,
Chris in Wyoming

I did the breuss cancer cure fast and I lasted only 11 days it's just teas and sips of veggie juice. The fast actually goes for 42 days and a man I know did it to cure his lung cancer and it worked he's still alive 2 years on and no mass on lung gone. I got so skinny though I lost 8 kgs but felt clean and alive so please blog about it because I would love to do it again and I need a bit of inspiration

HI kris,
I would love it if you blogged about your weekly fast!
I only tried it once but I was on chemo at the time and felt too weak to keep it up.
Now that I am off chemo and well I could use the inpiration/motivation to try it again.
Thanks for everything,
Laetitia

I would love to join in on fasting/feasting on veggie juice on Wednesdays, and think it will be empowering to know so many of us are joining together to heal our bodies on the same day. And I'll wear my Make Juice Not War t when I exercise on Wednesdays, too. Wore it to "Hot" yoga this weekend and is was good and soaking wet with beautiful sweat when I was done -- those cancer cells were dying -- I just know it!
All the best!

I honestly have never fasted but I wouldn't mind trying it in the(near)future.
I would love to read about the process. I would probably laugh at you when you're bitching about it but...
NO, I'm kidding, haha. Really, it would be an honor to read about what you have to go through and I promise not to laugh.

Hey Kris and everyone, mmm juicing...love it!! Longest I've done is 7 days and loved it! Although the smell of fresh fruits at the end of it caused me to salivate all over my clothes, the floor, the world! Yum!!!

I am definitely in for Wednesday fasting. Perfect day for me and I'm all for the community fun!

Nice work love!!

Girl...you gotta blog! I definitely need encouragement and guidance in this area. I was looking into going to the Tree of Life but am contemplating doing this on my own...blog away!

I've done 3 juice fast. The shortest was 7 days the longest was 30 days. I was actually depressed when I stopped fasting. I had so much energy and felt amazing! Plus when you're living off of juices alone you don't have to take the time to prepare foods, work out a menu for the week etc. Just juice and go. I had so much extra time to do the things I love! All this talk is tempting me to start doing what you've been doing and fast 1 day a week.

Please, do share! I need to learn how to fast / feast. Nutrition nuggets needed! I have one of those mysterious cancers that no one knows what to really do with, so bring on the healing goodness.

Lola is adorable. I got a pound pup too a few months ago and I even have those same monkey slippers! kindred cancer cowgirls we are... Thanks for being such a positive force!

Sending you love and light from Santa Cruz,
Jen

ps good thoughts for Steve Jobs!!!!!!!

Hi everyone, I am new to this blog... but found the CrazySexyCancer video on Youtube a while back. I watched it about five times because I found it to be so inspiring.

I am also new to juicing... but am looking forward to sharing in it with all of you goddesses. My mission in life is to heal myself and others. How perfect! Tomorrow is Wednesday! Yeah!
