Why the Fast?
A Raw Milk Fast consists of Consuming nothing except raw unalduterated milk from grass fed cows. The idea comes from a book written by Charles Sanford Porter in the early 1900s. A copy can be found at the following site and is available in multiple formats for free http://www.archive.org/details/milkdietasremedy00portiala. What intrigued me the most about this is that he was using if for multiple ailments. Two of particular interest are mercury poisioning and rheumatiod artheritis. Since reading so many benefits of raw milk and reading this Dr.s account, I thought I'd be a fool not to give it a try. I have changed my family's diet drastically over the course of the past two years in order to effectively treat my son with Autism. He has improved drastically, but I believe he still has some mercury toxicity that if removed could greatly increase his progress. Since I am an RN, I decided to use myself as the guinea pig prior to treating him with it. He is still doing a GAPs type diet and only has fermented milk products at this point so he wouldn't even be ready, but by the time I'm done he could be.
A brief preparation:
I spent the past couple of days eating light. Made sure I had some prunes and dates in case I get bound up prior to starting this morning. I cannot follow all the suggestions as I am a mom of two little ones, a college student, work full time, and have a life to live. What I have resolved to do is the following. Whenever possible drink the milk as suggested, every half hour during the waking hours. I will also consume nothing else, except the 'laxative' fruits when needed. I will also continue my cod liver oil which I try to take everyday. In all my goal is to consume 5 qts of milk per day. And of course I will take a full day of rest one day per week. I will also try to rest for a period each day. Today I was only able to rest for about 1/2 an hour. I do not know if this will be as effective for me as we live in very different times from when the book was written, but I am optomistic that I will see some benefits. I resolve to give it at least a three week trial. After the better part of one day, I find that I have some aches and pains that I haven't experienced before and some that are familiar. In addition, I have a headache and foul body odor, which I usually only experience after eating non-organic food and/or sugar. I cannot attribute it to anything other that perhaps I am already detoxing?
