You only really need one or two seven day fasts a year going by the Phoenix Protocol, as far as I’m aware. So, you could use a week of vacation or something for it. I’m, also, trying to get to a seven day dry fast, but to ease into it I’m just doing 24 hour dry fasts with an occasional 48. The body needs to rebuild itself and optimize itself for less fluid ingestion, so ease into things. If your mouth is ever totally devoid of saliva or your resting heart rate is overly-elevated or irregular, you should probably gently break your fast.
Your life is more valuable than healing an injury, and I believe the further we go each time, the better the body will do when faced with the same challenge. For me, it feels like it’s getting easier, anyway. Our climates are similar, and I exercise outside quite a bit. I think you’ve got a rougher time of it, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised that I could go 48 hours while working up as big of a sweat as I did several times.
I’ve heard a parallel between boron and this disease before.Boron is supposedly good for joints and is also an antifungal substance while there is a connection between fungi and this disease.

Have you even done a 24hrs Dry Fast? Or a 48hr? I’d reach those benchmarks on the weekend before even considering 7 days.
Personally, I think it’s stupid to strive for a 7day Dry Fast in your career field. My 2¢
Water fasting would be a better fit for your particular situation. At least until you have a weeklong vacation to dry fast in.
Doing 3 weeks of water fasting should be good enough and all the exercise you get will up the fat burn too. But dry fasting is extremely taxing when doing any kind of exercise, and its particularly bad when in a hot environment.
Always start low and work your way up to that man!! And that applies to anything really but with something this untested definitely go slow. Me personally when I was at the peak of my fasting days, I would go five days dry fast and still do 30-60 minutes of cardio(hitting the racketball court and playing handball on my own, really break up a sweat with that)sometimes even twice a day. But I worked up to that.
I would suggest doing Alternate days of dry fasting. Try one day on a soft dry fast first. Meaning shower and still brush your teeth, that way youll still absorb some water and see how you feel. If you feel alright then give the alternate days a shot with soft dry fasting.
fasting while outside is very challenging including the factors of weather, work environment, and mental stresses. carry salt on your person to avoid blacking out from hyponatremia; learn the symptoms of all low levels from electrolytes.
