For over 30 years, Russian clinics have gathered compelling statistics showing that for families who have embraced dry fasting, it has proven to be the only method that consistently ensures both robust health and the birth of healthy children. Several Russian doctors, fascinated by the potential of dry fasting, developed their own techniques and established specialized centers for this practice. Starting in the early 1970s with Dr. Chennikov in the Caucasus, pioneers in this field began refining the practice of dry fasting. Michel Deladoey took these foundations further, integrating holistic and modern approaches, introducing the "re-feed now" method, and incorporating the latest scientific studies to elevate dry fasting as a high-potential tool for human rehabilitation.
Before this breakthrough, fasting methods popularized by Shelton and Dr. Bregu were more widely known, but they all involved consuming liquids. In medical literature, it was once believed that fasting without water for more than three days was impossible. Most research until then had focused solely on water-based fasting. However, results obtained from over 20,000 dry fasting patients, along with evidence from religious practices, have revealed the significant benefits of abstaining from water. It’s well known that nearly every spiritual and religious tradition incorporates fasting as a fundamental practice. Across different eras, religions, and cultures worldwide, the concept of healing through complete fasting has remained essential and universal.
Statistics indicate that to date, around 1,000,000 people worldwide use dry fasting for health reasons.
The dry fasting practices followed by Mormons on Sundays and by Jewish communities during Yom Kippur are examples of shorter fasts, typically lasting no more than 24-25 hours. Despite their brevity, these fasts still tap into the body's natural self-healing mechanisms. The principle behind these practices is rooted in the body’s innate ability to restore balance and combat premature aging without the need for medications. The practice of intentional, temporary fasting—devoid of both liquids and food—has now been further validated by the 2016 Nobel Prize in Medicine awarded to Yoshinori Ohsumi for his groundbreaking work on autophagy.
