Dry Fasting - Toxins | Fasting Coaching

Hi All, How long does it take to flush all the bad toxins stored in the body during a dry fast? I have embarked on two dry fasts in the past month (3 days and 3.5days) in which the most recent time kidneys pain and slight heart pain has occurred. Now I assume this is toxin saturation in the blood where the kidneys etc can't flush it from the bloodstream (read/interpreted correctly from Filinov's book?) And that to push through can lead to seizures etc. Whilst I love the feeling I get when dry fasting I do notice motivation and energy do get hit periodically throughout the day and was wondering when majority of the toxins are gone does this make dry fasting easier for the more prolonged periods of time to heal chronic diseases? I am already keto and OMAD/ 20:4 Peyronies, psriosis and lack of sex drive checking in at 25 :/ Noticed after my 3.5 day fast I actually had a sex drive briefly again and as for my Peyronies - penile tissues is looking more fuller at present and erectile strength is better than prior... I am confident this is the way forward to resolution of a multitude of problems. Any advices for pushing through detoxification or is it always this bad regardless of how much/little toxins you have in your body? Is it a simple case of just do lots of short stints till I can add more to them comfortably? TLDR: does dry fasting become easier the more you attempt it due to lack of toxin build up and allow for more energy and concentration once a vast majority of toxins have been depleted from the "garbage stores" of the body Thank you in advance

Answer

To answer your TLDR - yes this is my experience. It took me nine dry fasts to work up to 5 days. It pretty much gets easier every time. A few times I did not prepare great so those were the exceptions. My longest time was 3.5 days and i held out as long as I could. This last fast I completed 5 days and could have gone longer but had to recoup and go back to work. I am convinced it’s mostly a matter of detoxing that caused me to quit early. I did drink very frequently over COVID and I’m sure that played a big role.

Answer

You flush toxins, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals with water. When dry fasting, you teach your body to dissolve toxins and bad/dead tissue and convert them into something useful. And kidneys can’t hurt by the way, it’s the muscle surrounding them

Answer

>lack of sex drive checking in at 25

How much muscle mass do you have? I had similar issues, due to having the strength of a wet noodle, that were fixed after picking up weightlifting. Specifically, I trained for weight and ate like a lunatic.

>I’ve been away for a while, but an update. I’ve been keeping up with extended dry fasts of 3+ days and my inflammation is down about 80% of where it was last time I posted. Huge improvements in hard flaccid as well. I feel I’ve essentially proved all of my theories correct over the past few months. Dry fasting is basically just a sped up version of water fasting; it is much harder but provides much better results. I haven’t had any ill effects either, and I’ve retained all of my muscle. Any questions, feel free to ask. Glad to be back!

Answer

The 4 biggest things that helped me - assuming you are doing a soft dry fast - were:At least 2 cold showers a day - I always tape my mouth with micropore tape to be cautiousGetting as much cool air exposure as possibleUse a tongue scraper and dry brush every day! It gets that nasty taste out of your mouth which helped so much. I make sure to wash them and dry them right after using so I don’t risk putting anything wet in my mouth laterLite work on my trampoline every day. Any type of light exercise would work

I also tried not to let myself sleep too much during the day bc laying awake all night was the hardest part for me and also the time when my back would really start hurting. Seemed a lot easier to distract myself with movies or TV during the day then when I had weak moments.

I didn’t know if I’d ever get over 3 days after several attempts and then last time is was just so much easier. Felt like I was cheating. I use willpower when I feel too thirsty or weak just for a while to see if it passes. But if it feels unbearable for an extended time I always thought it was safer to stop there.
