Potassium

When coming off the dry fast be sure to have the potassium ready. As a young woman, I did a dry fast 3 days straight every week. When I came off the fast, I ate as if I had never been on a fast. When I was in my forties my hands and feet began to cramp the moment I started back drinking water. On an occasion or two I oiled my legs and feet with prayer oil (olive oil) and told the pain to go, and it went. Then there was a time when I was over my mother's house in the middle of preparing food for the holiday, and my hand began to turn and brought me to tears. My mother said here take some potassium and it worked. So ever since then, I try to have some orange juice or other quick source of potassium available for coming off a dry fast.
