I'm sorry, Klara, and Damon!
I now see that coming off of a 10 day brown rice fast was Damon's quest.
I have no experience with such fasts but have done a lot of two to three day brown rice fasts to discharge colds, influenza, etc.
Just prior to macrobiotics I did a lot of water and juice fasts like suggested in
The Miracle of Fasting by Paul C Bragg
Not yet owning all of the macrobiotic books nor all of the recent releases, I can't tell you what they contain but I've read that certain books delineate brown rice fasting and recovery.
Here is a page that might provide some help with coming off a brown rice fast.
I hope this helps.
Thank you, very much.

It's hard to tell where people who post are as far as practice and as far as knowledge - and I'm finding also that some do have difficulties connecting up with good counselors. You often give great resources, and I really appreciate you quoting from books, especially books that I don't yet possess.
And I agree I also am not a counselor or even as experienced as you, Bruce, are, nor have I tried the rice diet. But there have been discussions here on it - which Damon you may find by doing a search - and from what I remember of those discussions and of my reading, that coming off the diet has to be done carefully and slowly, gradually adding more food - not quite going straight into a regualr mb diet.
Damon, do you have any mb counselors you can see??
