Fasting for Lent Day 38 - Detoxification

[chrismd00]

There is no medical science behind what you said concerning poison ivy. You are making that up I think. But congrats on your fast.

[Ears14U]

I liked your impersonation of "AL PACINO" at the very beginning...I really had to watch it a couple of times....wow.............LOL..­...teasing of course.

[Ears14U]

Hey, I really want to know if you had that diagnosed by a real PHD? You obviously are probably catholic. Are you sure that what is on your arm isn't a STIGMATA?

That looked like a cross to me! LOL.

[Ears14U]

Hate to be the one to inform you, but LENT, ash wednesday, good friday, and easter are NOT scriptural at all. All are forms of PAGANISM. The only one that Jesus Christ observed was PASSOVER. Read your history. That goes for Christmass, the ST.'s days etc. All comes out of the romish catholic church. Even the sick fathers that molested , and probably continue to molest children!

[codyportz]

lol that's ringworm you nasty mofo

[gavTate40fast]

fasting is a discipline just like any other discipline like karate or jUdo. Fasting makes you more spiritually aware especially when you pray. I have seen angels in the heights above heights flying when on a fast. Everybody should try fasting and prayer. It builds faith.

[wubbadubdub]

uh, it is not true that fasting helps you detoxify. in fact, it leads to toxification, as in ketoacidosis. and it's certainly not true that poison ivy becomes stored in your body, only to be released later. what is more likely to occur is viral reactivation secondary to starvation (like shingles). weakening your immune system and thereby allowing a latent virus to come out of latency has absolutely no benefits. fasting is totally counterproductive with respect to health.

[wordey123]

@wubbadubdub Fasting can help you detoxify in a certain sense.. Assuming youre an overfed american full of bad bacteria, youll get something called Herxheimer Reaction if you're a science head. Fasting for 40 days is actually called starvation, haha. But short term fasts of 1-2 days is quite benifical, try it! It sucks at first but you feel pretty great afterwards.

[fenixikkiaries]

Are you sure that's not ringworm and not poison ivy? Its supposed to be a food fast not a shower fast lol...... just kiddin. One question, did you have any supernatural revelations in dreams while awake etc??

[boobtubious]

LOL! Nothing supernatural. I did feel that God spoke to me about many things though, that happens when you talk to Him more.

[bebe4235]

i'm fasting currently, but because of my 'young' age I'm only doing it for 2 days, also cuz I've never fasted before. I started today, and it's been torture, haha. I see food everywhere and I get soo hungry, but oh well. i know it's gonna have a good result ;)

[MsCharliepoo]

you sound like that guy from the matrix!!! You just need to say Mr Andersen haha. interesting video..

[madiovich]

hi i am a muslim and in islam we have that ritual witch consist in fasting for a month .the fast is to be accomplished between sunrise to sunset and not only is a food privation but water ,sex and any chemicals such as cigarette ,meds,etc and the goal of the practice is to get closer from god by cannonising all the energy to the brain and reach a level of consciousness what do you think???

[Beltz19]

Awesome job. That must have taken a lot of willpower. Kudos!

[mileswilde]

what is the point of fasting

[boobtubious]

It depends. My point was to focus more on God.

[Jai666666666]

I must confess, I've donne my share of fasting..., I still do, but they are mostly juice diets..., under 40 days now. I read the Miracle Of Fasting by Paul C. Bragg, that health expert from California that opened the first Health food stores in America, and a few others...  Thanks for your reply, and thanks for getting the word out about fasting..., that stuff gets suppressed these days.

[Jai666666666]

Have you read any good books on fasting and if so, could you suggest a few? Last question..., are you hungry yet? More power to you, and enjoy your meal when you do break the fast :)¸

[boobtubious]

I read a book about Spiritual Discipline of fasting, and a number of web sites, google it and you'll find plenty of reading material. I broke the fast at the end of lent you can watch that video too! :)

[ChristopherMast]

I wanna see the before and after out of curiousity. I believe you.

[boobtubious]

Maybe I will post a video with those pics this week then. Don;t want to scare too many people off though! LOL

[noahsark1962]

I am going to have to try this sometime.I dont' know how far I will get.:) You amaze me.What have you learned about yourself during this time? Did you fast to grow closer to the Lord?

[kayleewyatt]

yea it came out on your arm!

*shiver*

[boobtubious]

Better that than my face! LOL

[shadow4795]

Almost there!

[boobtubious]

So close I can taste it... oh the irony. LOL

[alphaba2]

That is so funky. I had poison ivy once before and now I'm convinced it's dormant somewhere. Are you sure it's not herpes or something? Serious. Not the sex kind the cold sore type.

[boobtubious]

Positive, I know my poison Ivy. Plus there's been medical studies showing this happens during fasting.

[JeepGirl2]

That's amazing!

How long ago did you come in contact with the poison ivy?

I guess I was just curious how long those toxins have been in your system. So interesting.

[boobtubious]

Last time I had poison Ivy was about 10 years ago. So It's been quite some time. It stays in your blood for a long time.

[xjasongarciax]

Ha! I thought you were gonna say your arm hair got longer and therefore it would help out bald people...I'm thinning, so I got a little excited I must admit! =)

[boobtubious]

LOL! Not quite that cool :)

[proofisinthepudding]

I can tell your fasting you do look thinner!:)

[boobtubious]

35 pounds!

[RiddleSpider]

Very cool about the toxins!

I cannot imagine how that first meal will go, super small amounts of food.

[boobtubious]

Very small! My friend Sarah wants to give me brownies, LOL!

[LuckyStrike502]

Wow, I didn't know about that! You're almost there! Keep it up! Are you gonna make a video of your first meal after fasting? I bet it sure will feel good to eat again. :-)

[boobtubious]

Yeah, I was thinking I'd do a video about making Matza bread. That's what my first meal will be.

[blackcat2enterprises]

I can definitely tell you are fasting. It is obvious in the changes in you over the time period.

That is a bit weird about the poison ivy thing. How did you realize it was poison ivy? Have you been seeing a doctor this whole time?

- Heidi

[boobtubious]

Consulted a Doctor before hand not since. I have had poison ivy in the past, so I know it is. I searched fasting and skin rashes, and found it's common for the body to do this when fasting, detoxifying!

[OhCurt]

That's wild!

I'm afraid to think what my body would flush out if I fasted that long.

8-|

[boobtubious]

Depends on what you've put into it! LOL

Do you know why I can't enable revenue sharing? The option wasn't even there. :(

[OhCurt]

Not sure - I know there's an extra box to click on top the page where you explain what the video's about, but I've only not seen the option when uploading something that's under 30 seconds.

[boobtubious]

This video is a lot longer than that. But still no option. Wonder if my partnership has been revoked? LOL!

[OhCurt]

HA! Well from what I hear, you're not the only one who just uploaded who's seeing this.

GlitchTube?

[boobtubious]

Departnered according to Wogsland! LOL

[OhCurt]

Twitter and YT comment sections colliding, I love it!!

[boobtubious]

I'm YT on my Mac and on Twitter on my work PC, words colliding :)
