I am preparing for my first fast and just wondered how do you count those 3 days, when do you start to fast? Like, if I wake up and don't eat the breakfast, should I count in also the last 12 hrs since my last meal on the day before? Or I eat breakfast and then afterwards start to fast for three days on?

Hi All, I'm here from Australia really wanting to get some guidance for preparing my nearly 5 year old son for a parasite cleanse. He has 2 parasites ( Dientamoeba Fragilis and Giardia) that I have been prescribed antibiotics on 2 separate occasions that has not gotten rid of them. He has been suffering from itchy skin, fatigue, impulsive behaviour, distractablity, sugar cravings, I'm sure more... he is struggling at his first year of school due to being extremely tired and not being able to regulate.... it is also suspected he has ADHD according to paediatrician. I have watched Dr. Sungs videos and understand I need to get him off sugar, diary, gluten and have him on a low carb diet. I am wanting to know best products and dosage for supporting gut and gall bladder before starting cleanse? He is currently taking probiotics. I also would like to know if there is 1 parasite cleanse product encompassing all required herbs to kill off parasites. Or do I need to buy herbs separate - if so, which ones are best and dosage for a 5 year old. I so much appreciate if you read all of this and are able to assist 🙏💙

Are you constantly reaching for antacids but still struggling with digestion issues? Your problem might actually be TOO LITTLE stomach acid, not too much! As a functional medicine doctor, I frequently see patients who've been misdiagnosed and given medications that make their condition worse. Let me explain this commonly misunderstood condition called hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid). What causes low stomach acid? 🔍 - Antacid overuse (ironically, medications meant to help can worsen the problem) - Aging (we naturally produce less stomach acid as we get older) - Poor diet (processed foods, standard American diet) - Food allergies/sensitivities you might not be aware of - H. pylori infection (this bacteria thrives in a less acidic environment) How to know if YOU have low stomach acid: 📋 Watch for these symptoms: - Gas and bloating shortly after meals - Feeling full after eating only small amounts - Nausea after taking supplements - Weak, peeling, or cracked nails - Brittle hair - Dilated capillaries in cheeks and nose - Increased allergies (when you can't break down food properly, your immune system becomes overloaded) Laboratory markers that reveal the truth: 🔬 Look at your regular blood work for these signs: - Elevated BUN (blood urea nitrogen) above 16 - Abnormal globulin levels (below 2.4 or above 2.8) - Decreased total protein - Decreased albumin - Phosphorus below 3 - Elevated MCV (larger red blood cells) - Decreased MCHC - Iron below 50 (subtle deficiency) - Chloride below 100 - Altered alkaline phosphatase What's really happening in your body? 🧠 Here's the counterintuitive part: When you have low stomach acid, food doesn't digest properly. Instead, it ferments in your stomach, producing gas and acid from the fermentation process – NOT from too much stomach acid production! Taking antacids might temporarily relieve symptoms by reducing the fermentation, but they worsen the underlying problem by further reducing your stomach acid.
