Is there a correct or certain way to do it?
I remember when I was younger, my dad went on a 30 day Welches grape juice fast. Supposed to purify the blood and body?
I don't think I can handle 30 days but I've heard both positive and negative things about fasting.
I would like your ideas and opinions please.

Welch's Grape Juice? Hmmmm, sounds yummy (although non-organic grapes are just loaded with pesticides!!!) but imo, it's better to fast with live juices if you are indeed doing a juice fast.
I haven't fasted in quite awhile but it is important to eliminate while fasting so i hope that you're comfortable with doing a daily enema.
Yikes, I didn't think about the pesticide issue. I was going to mix it with seltzer because the juice is so sweet.
I'm kind of wondering if I can even handle it but I was going to give it a try.

I would do some serious research and get really prepared before you embark upon a fast.
Perhaps start by reading some Ann Wigmore material. Ann Wigmore Institute .:. Home Page
And then just google and peruse the various sites and find the wisdom that many of the "papers" have in common.
Here are a few good sites to get you started.

Types of Body Detoxification: Juice Fasting and Raw Food (http://www.juicefasting.org/detoxification.htm - broken link)
And are you doing it to cleanse or for weight loss?
If you're serious about doing a really good fast, it's important to know what you're doing and not just jump into it.
It's a rather radical thing to do and you want to do it right so as to avoid a "backlash" and to ensure that you won't harm yourself / throw your system out of balance.
Also, one of the most common problems for people is coming off the fast.
There is a right way and a wrong way to end a fast.
It's easy to get really psyched about this and just wanna do it but it's best to be patient and read a lot so you know what you're getting into.
And selzer water, especially when fasting, is probably not a good idea.
Carbonated liquids are not so great for the stomach and if you're drinking such liquid constantly while no food is being taken in ... not recommended.
Do you have a juicer by the way?
If that sounds good to you and you can afford it, getting a really good juicer and using it for your fast (and for the rest of your life) might be a great thing to do.
Live juice (whether you're fasting or not) is wonderful!!!
Thanks for the links. I'll check them out this evening.
I have a juicer but it's packed away at the moment.
Cleansing and weight loss are both a plus to me but at this point, I think cleansing is on my mind more. I wasn't going to say anything until I knew for sure but I may have breast cancer and I'm looking for ways to change my lifestyle. It's not that bad but there's always room for improvement and I slack sometimes.
THere just seems to be more to fasting than I realized. I'll read the links later though.

Yes, if you want to do a fast properly, it does take some learning and preparation.
(unpack that juicer! )
Blessings to you and i hope very much that you do not have breast cancer!
And if you do, i wish you all the love and healing in the universe.
I did a fast last summer with a product from Market America. It worked, lost a little over 5 lbs in a week. Needless to say the weight did not stay off and it actually made my craving for sugar stronger than ever!
