How Long can you safely Dry Fast? Q&A

What is the ideal time for a curative dry fast? No one knows. Some people claim that the longer you go, the more healing will be done. I argue that that may not always be the case. Yes, going longer usually means more autophagy or deconstruction, but at what cost to the rebuilding constructive phase? Can you go so far that you potentially damage benefits from the refeed and stem cells? In fact, the refeed is more important to healing than the fast in my opinion. Both are necessary, but it's actually the stem cells that rebuild that which has been damaged. So is there a limit to how far you should fast? Is it until you pass both acidotic crises? Personally, I think the ideal length that you can and should safely dry fast depends on the individual, their fasting muscle, their weight, their illness, and their goals. Nevertheless, I also believe that going over 9 days is not necessary, and frankly may cause more bad than good. I am a fan of fractional fasting, and I am a fan of refeeding correctly. In this chapter, I'll do my best to answer questions related to how long can you safely do a dry fast.

What is dry fasting?
The obligatory "What is dry fasting" introduction. This is for those new to it who have stumbled upon this article. Dry fasting is the abstinence of both food and water. Normally when people think of extreme fasting they think of people drinking water only and possibly adding things like electrolytes or black coffee and tea. When it comes to the dry version, removing all forms of food and water, and living on air alone is something that most people consider impossible. Yet dry fasters are alive and in most cases, thriving. In fact, most fasters who eventually try dry fasting, never look back. It's that good. Just make sure you know the ins and outs before attempting it. When you dry fast you accelerate autophagy to unimaginable levels. You also pull toxins out of cells at an increased rate. Water fasting on the other hand makes it so that your digestive system never takes a complete rest, and your cellular water never gets a deep clean. The most powerful aspect of a dry fast is the unique hormesis or "bodily stress" that occurs without water. This triggers a bounce-back response that increases stem cell production massively. Dry fasting is powerful, and with great power comes great responsibility. Dry fasting should not be performed until you have tried water fasting first, and should only be started with short dry fasts in the beginning. Now let's get back to the main topic of "How long can you safely dry fast?"
