Dry fasting maximizes the hormesis effect, prompting an adaptive response from the body that ultimately strengthens it.
Dry fasting is the ultimate form of hormone therapy, surpassing even cold baths and intense physical exercise. During dry fasting, the body is exposed to more intense conditions of controlled stress, forcing it to adapt and restructure itself to derive not only nutrients but also water internally. This accelerates the breakdown of body tissues, leading to rapid and effective detoxification and regeneration. In terms of therapeutic fasting, the phases during dry fasting are similar to those in water fasting, but the process is significantly faster. The stage of food withdrawal, which triggers endogenous self-repair, lasts less than a day. The shift to ketosis and the subsequent rise in ketoacidosis, which typically occurs from the fourth to eleventh day in water fasting, happens within just one to three days in dry fasting. By the third day of dry fasting, the body enters an acidosis crisis, marking the first healing crisis—a critical point in the detoxification and healing process. In comparison, water fasting delays this phase, slowing down the onset of curative effects. Advantages of Dry Fasting Compared to Water Fasting:
The second acidosis crise is curative crise.
The second acidosis crisis, which is the most therapeutic phase during water fasting, typically occurs between the 24th and 60th day. However, during dry fasting, this critical phase is reached much sooner, usually between the 8th and 10th day. The earlier this acidosis crisis occurs, the quicker it passes, allowing more time for the body’s renewal, healing, and purification processes. Autolysis, or autophagy, is triggered much earlier in dry fasting compared to other forms of fasting, leading to faster elimination of cysts, benign tumors, and other unwanted growths. What many people don’t realize is that to achieve a significant healing effect from water fasting for chronic conditions, one typically needs to fast for at least 21 days or even longer. Even then, the effects tend to be more preventive than curative, as chronic health issues often reappear after water or juice fasting. In contrast, dry fasting is more effective at addressing deep-rooted chronic issues, as the body enters a more intense and accelerated state of healing. Only dry fasting can trait viral or bacterial infection
he same applies to all types of infectious pathologies, whether it’s candidiasis, Helicobacter pylori, or other infections, including Lyme disease. Dry fasting, when combined with appropriate biotherapies, significantly enhances the effectiveness of the treatment. When it comes to infections like Lyme disease, water fasting may not be as effective because it can maintain the environment that allows pathogens to persist. In contrast, dry fasting creates a hostile environment for pathogens, promoting bacterial, viral, and parasitic die-off through dehydration and cellular stress. This “drying out” effect targets the pathogens directly, leading to a deeper level of cleansing and healing. Numerous testimonials from those who have overcome Lyme disease through dry fasting attest to its remarkable curative power. Our endogenous water is the most therapeutic
Endogenous water synthesized by the body during dry fasting is free from any foreign energy or informational content. Essentially, “dead” water is replaced with “living” water. All the negative information carried by exogenous water is erased. In the absence of external water during dry fasting, the blood and lymph undergo an intensive cleansing process akin to internal filtration. The renewal of these essential fluids is solely driven by this pure, endogenous “life water.” As a result, by the end of a dry fast, both the blood and lymph become almost perfectly purified. Consequently, all bodily tissues through which these fluids circulate are also cleared of any external informational influence. This phenomenon of energy and informational purification is one of the key advantages of therapeutic dry fasting. By abstaining only from food, this effect cannot be achieved. No other form of fasting triggers this unique mechanism that erases the negative imprints introduced by “foreign” water. After a dry fast, the body is essentially reset to a blank slate, free from unwanted information. No other method can achieve this level of physical and mental purification. Around the fifth day of dry fasting, there is typically a significant increase in the concentration of biologically active substances in the blood, along with a rise in hormones, immunocompetent cells, and immunoglobulins within body fluids. The osmotic pressure in the bloodstream also intensifies, further enhancing the body’s healing and regenerative processes. Fasting cleanses and dissolves all energetic and physical information stored as memory from our past.
The endogenous water produced by the body during dry fasting is completely free from any foreign energy or informational content. In essence, "dead" water is replaced with "living" water, effectively erasing all negative information carried by exogenous water. Without the introduction of external water, which is foreign to the body, dry fasting triggers an intense purification process where the blood and lymph undergo internal filtration. The renewal of these vital fluids relies solely on this pure, life-giving endogenous water. As a result, by the end of a dry fast, both the blood and lymph become almost perfectly purified. Consequently, all bodily tissues through which these fluids circulate are also cleansed of any external informational influence. This unique process of energetic and informational purification is one of the core benefits of therapeutic dry fasting. Merely abstaining from food cannot achieve this effect. No other form of fasting activates this distinct mechanism that eliminates the negative imprints brought into our body through “foreign” water. After a dry fast, the body is essentially reset, free from accumulated harmful information. This profound level of physical and mental purification cannot be achieved through any other method. By around the fifth day of dry fasting, there is typically a significant increase in the concentration of biologically active substances in the blood, along with elevated levels of hormones, immunocompetent cells, and immunoglobulins in bodily fluids. The osmotic pressure in the bloodstream also rises, further enhancing the body's healing and regenerative processes. The dry fasting is a powerful immunomodulator and restores our immune system in a short time.
The anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting effects of dry fasting are significantly more potent than those of water fasting. Inflammation thrives in the presence of water, as evidenced by the swelling, pus formation, and lymphatic secretions often seen in infected or inflamed tissues. When the body is deprived of external water, it conserves endogenous water, using it strictly for nourishing healthy cells. Diseased cells, along with harmful bacteria, viruses, and parasites, are deprived of water and gradually die off. This targeted effect is not achieved through water fasting, and even less so with juice fasts, which can inadvertently nourish these pathogenic agents. In the context of autoimmune diseases, many of these conditions are triggered by chronic, undiagnosed infections that conventional medicine often overlooks. This is where the unique benefits of dry fasting come into play, offering a powerful approach to tackling infections of all kinds, including those underlying autoimmune disorders. Light fever arrive during fast
During dry fasting, the body’s internal temperature begins to rise as early as the fourth day (often felt as an intense internal heat), leading to significant immunological benefits. These include increased production of interferon, enhanced antiviral and antitumor activity, accelerated proliferation of T cells, and heightened phagocytic and bactericidal activity of neutrophils. Additionally, there is a marked increase in the cytotoxic effects of lymphocytes, along with a reduction in both the growth and virulence of harmful microorganisms. Cold water can be useful during fast
Cold water treatments, when applied according to specific protocols during fasting, can significantly boost the body’s metabolic activity. The key factor is body temperature, which serves as a crucial indicator of the body’s defensive capabilities. If the temperature rises during a dry fast, it’s a strong sign that the healing process is progressing effectively. In our programs, controlled cold water exposure can help elevate body temperature, as can Ito thermie, a healing technique we use that stimulates immunity. Ice water treatments are optional but can be beneficial. In contrast, water fasting often relies on additional procedures like enemas, colonic irrigation, baths, and saunas to enhance detoxification. However, these methods can be poorly tolerated and involve excessive intervention on the body. Each individual’s fasting experience is unique and should be approached accordingly. During dry fasting, the body activates completely distinct mechanisms for toxin and poison elimination that are not present in any other form of fasting. When dry fasting, the cell burns toxins and waste in its own combustion chamber
During dry fasting, toxins are essentially incinerated within their own "combustion chambers"—each cell, deprived of water, triggers an internal reaction akin to a thermonuclear process. Every cell temporarily transforms into a mini-reactor, rapidly destroying anything excessive, harmful, or burdensome. The cellular autophagy mechanisms are activated to their fullest capacity, making it easier for the immune system to locate and eliminate any foreign or damaged entities. Unlike water fasting, dry fasting eliminates the need for enemas, as toxins in the intestines cannot be absorbed due to the absence of water. While it’s possible to perform an enema before starting a dry fast, it should never be done during the fasting period itself. As a result, dry fasting avoids the common issue of intoxication that can occur in other types of fasting, such as water fasting, where intestinal porosity can lead to the reabsorption of toxins from the intestines. This makes dry fasting physically easier to endure, with hunger pangs and stomach gurgling being minimal or nearly non-existent. An enema with warm water or coffee can be performed at the end of the fast or just before refeeding. Additionally, dry fasting leads to more effective weight loss followed by stable weight management, which is not always the case with water fasting. Weight loss during dry fasting ranges from 0.4 to 2 kg per day, making it a highly efficient method for those seeking significant and sustained results. Fat stores are burned during dry fasting three times faster than during wet fasting.
Another key benefit of dry fasting is that fat tissue does not fully regenerate after the fast, unlike what happens with water fasting. During a water fast, both fat and muscle are lost in roughly equal proportions. In contrast, dry fasting primarily targets fat due to the metabolic shifts that occur. Since fat cells are about 90% water, they break down three to four times faster than muscle cells during dry fasting. Unlike many weight loss methods, which can be dangerous, dry fasting is a safe and effective solution when combined with naturopathic techniques for lasting results. It is particularly effective in treating obesity and can easily replace surgical procedures. The process of feeding on internal reserves is perfectly balanced during dry fasting. The body selectively uses only what it needs at each moment, without being influenced by external, artificially imposed sources. This leads not only to a reduction in body mass but also to a natural reshaping of the figure. The silhouette becomes slimmer, the body more toned, and cleansed of toxins accumulated over years. For individuals who are naturally slim, detoxification is gentler and the fast is easier to maintain compared to those who are overweight. The concern of becoming underweight does not arise during dry fasting, as the fasting period is typically short and rarely exceeds 10 days. |
