  in Where the river flows - WATER FASTING SUPPORT Comment by mamamilk

• Best to you both!! yes, stay away from chewing action (even of ice or gum) – it starts digestion processes and you want your digestion to ‘shut down’. when your body (the physical you) starts to scream, “I’m dying!!!” just say, “yeah, that’s the poi…
