I'm feeling bored and toxified, so I'm going to shut down my digestive system for 10 days...
That being said, are the following items located anywhere in Seoul?
Maple Syrup (grade B) - Costco has grade A
Probiotics -
Cayenne Pepper..
Senna Tea -
Is distilled/purefied water the same as the bottled water that we buy at the store?
Thanks for any help you can give me.... |

| Do google search for Hilde Clarke liver cleanse. It uses epson salts, olive oil , lemon juice. All this green crap comes out of the liver and you feel much better the next day. |

| Great fast. I did it in an ashram while doing four hours of asana (poses) every day. Probably the easiest fast out there. Now, coming off the fast is hard. Be ready for that. |

| Can you explain which toxins you are hoping to rid your body of, and why you think your body hasn't evolved for millions of years to go ahead and take care of that stuff naturally? |

I think Homeplus might have some.. they have some maple syrup anyway.
Not sure.
Hannam Supermarket has some. Or you could just use the Korean version - gochu gahru (red pepper powder).
Don't think I've ever seen Senna Tea.

What you buy in a bottle is mineral water. It's not distilled. You can buy distilled water from the pharmacy's. In Korean it's called jeung-ryoo-soon. Or in Korean it's 증류수. There is an off chance that you can get it from Watson's, too (if you're in Seoul). I know in Hong Kong, Watson's sell their own brand's distilled water for general consumption. |

you need to go back to your country - (Canada) - for even positing this on the "living in korea discussion forum"
you are obviously a non-drinker, non-smoker BUT think that your body is full of toxins...
"shutting down your digestive system for 10 days" - is not good for your health...
anyway -
Maple Syrup - can be purchased at homeplus
Probiotics - can be purchased at the "International Clinic (Itaewon) vitamin shop
Cayenne pepper is considered to be misnomer by the American Spice Trade Association, which prefers the more generic term red pepper. Generally speaking any of a number of peppers are called cayenne - and Korean is full of peppers......
Senna (used to relieve constipation by stimulating the colon) is not necessary - if you plan on not eating for 10 days - you will not need to cleanse your bowels... - and the International Clinic can provide other products that do the same thing... |

When I spoke with my doctor about ceratin health problems, I asked him if i'd be wise to go on a fast. He predicted a mild improvement in my condition. I fasted, I improved.
Fasting is more natural than our modern consumer models would have us believe.
Do research. |

I have done several 30+ day fasts in my lifetime and they are no more harmful to you than other interventions people attempt. The key is common sense. Physiologically, the body develops habits and addictions towards food and other substances. This is why people believe it is commonly unsafe to fast for health reasons.
Here are some very reliable tips from someone who has done this frequently over the last 30 years:
1. Make sure your stay hydrated. There is never a good reason to reduce the amount of water intake, especially during a fast of any kind.
2. Determine the kind of fast you are interested in. There are more than 20 different modified fasts that include no food intake up to having a meal at a designated time each day.
3. Have in mind what you are fasting for in the first place. People who fast thinking it is the quick way to lose weight or get other habits under control are fasting for the wrong reasons.
4. The normal bodily functions continue to take place while the person fast. The first to go is the excess body fat. The last to go is muscle tissue, which is dangerous.
More to come...Gotta run to the store. |

I'd heard that the muscle goes first... because it takes more energy for the body to keep muscle going. |

Glucose is the body's primary fuel source, and is essential for the brain's functioning.
When denied glucose for more than 4-8 hours, the body will turn to the liver for glycogen, a storage form of glucose, to be used for fuel. A process called glycogenolysis converts glycogen into a usable form of fuel.
At this point, the body will also use small amounts of protein to supplement this fuel. This fuel will last for up to 12 hours before the body needs to turn to muscle stores of glycogen, lasting for a few more days.
If glucose is still denied at this point, muscle wasting is prevented by temporarily switching to fat as the fuel source meaning fat is converted into ketone through catabolism. Ketones, while not sugars, are able to be used by the brain as a fuel source as long as glucose is denied.
As a protective biomechanism, many toxins are stored within fat. During catabolism, these toxins are liberated and then released into the blood stream. Increases the likelihood of acetaminophen poisoning, possibly because of depletion of hepatic glutathione reserves. The body will continue to use fat for as long as there is fat to consume.
The body will generally indicate to the faster when fat levels are running extremely low (less than 2%) with an increased urge for food.
Fasts are usually broken long before this point. If the fast is not broken, starvation will begin to occur, as the body begins to use protein for fuel. It will begin with the least important proteins, then muscles, and eventually organs.
Death may occur before the body turns to organs as a fuel source however. |

| I did this thing for 2 days a few months back and was very disappointed with the results, giving up after a couple of days. I felt even more sluggish. It did help with my heartburn issues a lot. I'll do it again for 2 days when the heartburn resurfaces, but until then, bleh. |

Doesn't maple syrup contain glucose? |

food addiction?
I get being addicted to eating? but experts agree
no food=death
starvation is the technical term. Sure you might think cleaing out youur pipes is a good idea but please don't say food addiction. What about your unhealthy dependency on oxygen and protein? |
