The 1st Unofficial, Unauthorized Annual Shroomery Fast

It's time to get you mushroom-buddies healthy once and for all.
I've been reading like a night owl on speed and have found the ultimate solution to kick-start health in our bodies: A FAST.
That's right: No food. No smoke. No sex. No liquor. No nothing. Well almost.
WHEN: 2005 JANUARY 2-6th
WHERE: At a peaceful location (or at least somewhat peaceful). Correspondence on "how's it going" will take place in this thread.
WHY: Ummm. I think we already covered this above, tough guy.
HOW: Ok. Here's the rules. We're doing the fast that world famous herbalist Michael Tierra recommends in his book, The Way of Herbs (page 56). #1 For those who are truly strong-willed individuals that know they can improve their health and have enough will power to do it, the fast will last 3.5 days. Yes three and one half days of the standard English calendar. It is recommended that you purchase a few items in advance. Equipment needed: Enema Bag (from a store like CVS, Eckhards, Walmart, etc). Dried Catnip herb from an herb store (do a search online and you'll have it in days. it should be about $4 for 4oz plus shipping). Two containers of ORGANIC prune juice (from Whole Foods or Bread of Life or Wild Oats, etc) and two 1-gallon containers of ORGANIC apple juice. Olive oil (grocery store). Cayenne Pepper (a spice bottle in the spice section of your grocery store). Get some fresh vegetables too (not a lot) and store them in the crisper of your fridge for when the fast is done.
(Paraphrased) Excerpt from page 56: The first 3 days are begun each morning with an herbal enema (thus you bought the catnip and the bag). Sounds scary, I know. Roll with it. Shortly after recovering from the enema have a glass of prune juice. Drink slowly and swish each swallow first. Every two hours afterward, drink a glass of apple juice. Two to four times during each day take a TABLESPOON of olive oil mixed with a dash or two of the cayenne pepper (which is red in color btw). Repeat this for 3 days straight. If you have to cheat and eat a little food make sure its only BROWN RICE in a small amount once or twice each day. Remember this is a setback but if you are going to be a little wussie girl (j/k) then eat ya big pansy flower. On the fourth day, break the fast after the enema and prune juice with steamed vegetables of your choice and some light soup. After a few hours eat what you want but don't undue all that hard work with poor eating decisions.
Who's with me?

No thanks, I would rather not deprive my body of nutrients, and things it needs in order to run properly.

Look at the fasting posts and you will see that the shroomery is divided on this issue. However I would be down for a no drugs/alcohol/excess food fast (god knows i need it lol).

I'd be down, but I work long hours 6-7 days a week. I am not part of the leasure class than afford to not eat for days and lay around w/o energy...

Join us for a two-meal fast then, if you want. We'll act like it was three days.

I might fast if I wasn't already healthy and if I weighed more than 125 pounds. I need my energy, I don't think I could even go without 1 meal without getting dizzy and tired. Guess I just have a fast metabolism, that's why I only weigh 125.

I fast about every 4 days and work 6 days a week. I usually do not eat anything until 5PM or later everyday, only a dense caloric OJ drink. Fasting greatly helps my medical condition and I've been doing it for years, so it is possible to do it outside of leisure time.

I'm planning on doing a fast this spring for about 4 days, but i won't be joining you on this one. Winter is too cold around here, i gotta keep up my fat intake I do believe in the health and spiritual benefits from it, and I think that will be a good way to come out of hibernation this spring, sometime in late march/early april.

I second that, winter and fasting don't mix well. March and October are ideal.
May I ask why catnip is added to the enema? I prefer sea-salt myself.
