I did a 7-day dry fast two months ago and successfully shrank my prostate which enabled me to remove a Foley Catheter I’d been using for 10 months. As I write this I am currently doing a 2-day dry fast. I intend to do this periodically for the rest of my life.
Pls tell your age, how big was your protrate, did you eat salt during fasting answer pls
@@SamadKhan-od3xf
I'm 63 at the present and while I can't tell you exactly how large my prostate was it WAS large enough to completely block urine flow, so much so that I was forced to use a Foley Catheter. I tried a number of things to no avail until I happened upon a channel here on UA-cam called 'The Phoenix Protocol'. I dry-fasted for about 7 days going from 152 lbs at the start to 132 on the last day. No, I did not eat salt, a dry fast is exactly as it sounds - no food or water. At the end of the fast I was able to remove the Catheter for good after 10 months.
@@theoddfather8782 to keep up the good work, start intermittent fasting on a daily basis, eat healthy and drink at least 3 liters of water daily , and I reckon you won’t have these issue or any for that matter again!
@@alop1895
No problems with constipation here but everyone’s different. Check out a channel called ‘The Phoenix Protocol’ it’s completely devoted to dry fasting. Also how you end the fast is very important, there’s a couple of clips on how to break a fast properly.
7 days without water? Or u drank water at the end of the day? I dry fast for a month every year but I eat and drink after the sun goes down then repeat
Love that this info is coming out! I’ve worked my way up to doing dry fasting, for up to 36 to 40 hr + Dry fasts for the past 3 years (nearly every other day). My body now knows what to expect. Remarkably The Masses, have been brainwashed into an eating disorder of 3 to six meals a day. I feel better now at 70 than I did at 45.. I’ve found on this fasting journey. That you don’t know that you feel good, until you really feel good!! Results is all that matters! I’ve realized that the Gluttonous consumption of food provided by the system. (Whom work hand and hand with Big Phama.) Is the Root cause of so much disease. The masses need to break the 3 meal a day spell… 1st step in taking responsibility for your own health.
1.Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day 2. Never purchase anything from a drive thru window 3. Never consume anything packaged or advertise on TV…
Get out in the Sun, put your bare feet on the ground and keep moving!
Keep on Spreading the word!
Peace…

I’m a fan of dry fasting, currently on my 62nd hour. I’d say that breakfast is important and to intermittently fast from late afternoon on through the next morning. Because morning food is a non-photonic zeidgeiber (time signaling) to hormones. Both sunrise sunlight, movement and food stimulate morning hormones to release. I don’t like breakfast from a lifetime of improper habit forming around improper IF advice. Now I know why skipping breakfast is improper and try to change it. Eating at night is not necessary and in fact unhealthy. We have less insulin available at night.
I’ve been dry fasting for years. 3 days is all I can do, however the benefits are very conducive from a physical and spiritual perspective. Ester in the Bible did 3 days of dry fasting and received Gods blessings….🙏🏽🙏🏽
At minute I am doing a 4 day water fast, you have inspired me to do dry fast, have you any tips please, Am spiritual and aware, so am very pleased I read you comment, Blessings

Welcome to Ramadan. My mother was shamed for fasting in the UK in the 70s, I was shamed for it in the early noughts by a personal trainer in Canada.
Thank you for mentioning Ramadan.
LOL. They pray to black cube and worship back stone starve themselves to death in Ramadan.. I remember all those way b4 IF and now even dry fasting is on the stage. They say we were crazy abusive to our own bodies and the saying is: the commands to dry fast in the Bible, quran , old testament etc all come from the same source, the same that create our body. The only in creator.

Ramadan isn't fasting, it's reverse eating. Day becomes night.

Dry fasting helped me heal my polycyclic ovaries, depression and drop the excess weight ( and keep it off )
Highly recommended for spiritual seekers also. Deep inner experiences during meditations and higher intuition.
❤🙏

I have done several 6 day dry fasts. Such a euphoric feeling. Deep meditation experiences during this time. Lost lots of weight. Felt super light.
Can u pls tell me how much weight did u lost for 6days
My 2nd day of dry fasting i lost 2.5kg .
That’s great. I go 6 days water fasting & the most I’ve lost is 3 lbs. hmm
A gallon of water is 8 lb
How do you break this fast? And do you exercise at all during this fast
@@danielswinger2986 You must break the dry fast safely with water. The first hour slowly consume 8oz of water throughout that hour, and the second hour as well, no more than 8oz of water. The third hour you can begin to consume more water, but do not guzzle it. Ideally, you should have a full day of water fasting to break the extended dry fast.
Wow....this is the first time I got such amazing results within 3 days.....what a dramatic change in my body. I will NEVER stop dry fasting for the rest of my life. No more inflammation....no more pain....I feel incredible and my confidence is soaring....I LOVE IT. Thank you Doc.....its so amazing🎉😂❤
Zero water during the period?
It is Ramadan for us now and I do 24 hours dry fasting. I feel amazing after breaking my fast. Thanks to Allah( God) who prescribed this type of fasting to us. God knows what’s best for our body’s.
Jesus Christ died for your sins.
Good for you!
It's the same in Christians (like catholic etc)during Holy Week....some christians do fasting but only very few. Most Christians used Holy Week to have parties and vacations
Im 54 and this is my 34th year of Fasting during the month of Ramadan! Thanks for sharing the health benefits of dry fasting. 🙏🏾
Thank YOU!
Fasting just means starvation, I guess it's ok if you are an obese pig...lol
What you Muslims do is a JOKE..
12 hours s not a fast.. hog before sunrise hog after sunset.. You call that a fast ? Lolzzz
A true fast whether dry or not is 24 hrs one day not sunrise to sunset .
@@biblebill6206 incorrect
I personally find dry fasting easier than water fasting. I've done as long as 7 days dry fasting. I rested a lot and lost about 26 pounds. Breaking the fast is crucial as to not become ill with refeeding syndrome.
How did you break your dry fasting??
@@reembakheit4725 ?
Very much easier. Dry fast obliterates hunger.
Definitely easier to dry fast
I think it’s easier too! Water fasting made me super hungry and I couldn’t do it longer than two days. I am dry fasting now and I haven’t had any hunger pangs.
This is my 22nd day of fasting (Ramada) and don’t eat or drink anything from 4:30 AM to 7:55 PM. I fast for almost over 16 hours. I was fasting for religious purposes only but when I found Dr.Jason Fung explaining the health benefits of fasting, I changed my diet too. I also added walking in my daily routine.The
results are amazing. I overcame on two health issues and cured them through fasting. 1- Pre diabetes. I had Pre Diabetes two years ago and now it’s completely reversed and I even don’t think about it. My Hba1c dropped from 5.8 to 5.3 and morning blood sugar is in upper 80s. 2- High blood pressure. With Diabetes, I had high blood pressure of 162/135 which was terrible. Life was just like hell but now 113/72. Today’s blood pressure reading was 109/69. Fasting saved my life and I will keep fasting even without Ramadan. It really helps.
That is totally amazing1 Congratulations! 🙌👏👏👏
IF does help a lot
Try actual fasting with water only and salt, for a few days
🙌
@Nusrat Parween we are discussing the health benefits of fasting only. I know the religious part of Ramadan too.
@Nusrat Parween thanks
I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and we fast once a month on the first Sunday. Nothing to eat or drink for 24 hours. Kids and families do this together. Kids usually start around age 8. The best way to get through a dry fast is to have a reason. We fast with purpose and prayer. That purpose is stronger than the food or the drink we are avoiding. You all know fasting is a brain game. If you have a strong reason or purpose then your fast will be easier. At age 13 I went for 3 days while I was fasting for a friend. The LDS church does not recommend this, which I didn't know at the time. I did perfectly fine. A little girl told me she writes her reason or purpose on a piece of paper and when she thinks she's hungry she reads the paper and then she's not hungry anymore.🙏❤ Fasting has been such a blessing to my life.
This is just a beautiful text. Thank you for sharing your experience and your faith. It really gives me a new perspective. I am totally going to go into my next dry fast with new purpose. Thank you so much. ❤
Thank you so much for sharing! I will try this/writing it and reading it as needed... I need a strong(er) way to remember my reason when the hunger pains are strong.
Me too! I often will start a 5-day fast with a 24 hour dry fast on the first Sunday of the month. After 24 hours, I'll continue the fast, but switch to a water fast. These have been some of my best fasts. I also continue on with prayer and purpose.
I am also a member of the church! Been EF and IF for five years and also once a month dry fasting. I'm 69 years old and my doctor is just amazed that I am on no meds. People say I have reversed aging as look much younger than my years. There are true blessings thru obedience to the dry fast every month. Having self control on your thinking and beliefs are also healthy life changing, especially if you are prone to depression, as I am. I also had breast cancer 20 years ago and was healed with no chemo /radiation!
@@everydaycookingwithann9502 this is awesome. I am also 69. What a blessing. I have bee. Doing the dry fast now for about 2 months. Almost everyday for 12 to 16 hours. I am so grateful for learning about this type of fasting. I already do intermittent fasting with one meal a day and longer fasts every month. I am so lucky to hear other people's stories and what works for them. I dont talk about it much because people think it's crazy or unhealthy. Too sad because I feel great. Thank you for sharing. ❤
I'm a daily dry faster, usually 12 to 24 hrs and every once in a while I do a 3 days dry fast. I honestly started doing it because it was easier to get through my fast then I started reading about the potential benefits.
I so agree.... for me it also is easier to get through my fast when dry fasting. Yet, I do enjoy following the dry fast with a day of water fasting... I don't like to call it water fasting, because I also drink tea, acv & lemon...but I know that is what others still call water fasting so for lack of anything else to call it, I call it water fasting...absolutely no calories though.
@@laquingal excellent good thinking…I also add polyphenols from pills like Turmeric, Quercetin and a few other polyphenols like Olive leaf extract, clove and more it helps clean out bacteria mold viruses it has really helped me while water fasting
@@bastardsonofretkillr Thanks for those tips!!

By the time I reach the end of Ramadhan I feel completely cleansed. I only eat in the evening and have a glass of water in the morning, so essentially I'm fasting for about 21 hours😊
Not a real fast at all .
Watching this video while on 2 day of dry fasting. Its amazing . Im so energetic. I have discovered we eat alot when not needed. Im a nurse on a nights shift duty,everything is ok. I wanted to do a 3 days but i guess i will do upto 5 days. My skin is so clear, no cream has ever goten me this way.
Woohoo! Incredible insights! 😃
I think the best way to approach dry fasting is starting with 12hrs. Then 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, and so on. Im on 16hrs and my goal is to be able to hit 24 hrs before the month is over. My goal before the year is over is 48hrs dry fasting.

Does the water make you hungry too?
I was able to do five days dry fast and my lower back hurt very badly the last two days which I found out was my kidneys detoxing, I ended fast earlier than I wanted because of the pain. Next time I want to do seven days to get a fuller detoxification.
@@jackiepittman7686 no you were making too much uric acid… causing kidney stones…
@@KKsKrissvs121 yeah
@@KKsKrissvs121 Many people report feeling less hunger during a dry fast. It may have something to do with what Dr. Pelz said in the video about dry fasting optimizing our electrolyte stores. If in fact water fasting can slowly lower our hydration levels it would likely contribute to hunger.
I dry fast for 18 hours every day, but in addition two days a week I eat only raw fruits and vegetables. One day fruits, one day vegetables, having a normal day between them. At 55 I have flexibility, strength and a great joy of being alive. I only started this lifestyle a few years ago. I also have a daily meditation practice
If you finish dinner let´s say at 8:00 pm, then you go to sleep and do not eat or drink anything until 14:00 hours next day, would that be considered an 18 hours dry fast? Thank you.
yes, that's how we calculate the fasting period. I eat in the morning at 7, then at 1 pm. But it's good to start with 12 hours of fasting, then after you feel that everything is ok, go to 13 and so on until you reach the desired period
@@gheorghehandaric7674 Ok. Thank you for your answer.
@@gheorghehandaric7674 hey that’s great do you take activated charcoal to remove toxins built from fasting?
Your body is taking care of all the waste. I wouldn’t add activated charcoal.
I prefer dry fasting to water fasting. My body and mind seem happier with that.
I've done a few. Never longer than 3.5 days though.
Beginners should definitely only do short ones I firmly believe.
Do you eat and drink at all for those days? At night and very early morning , like during Ramadan.
Thanks for all you do, Dr. Mindy.
I like how the Creator of the human body Himself vouches for dry fasting being the highest, safest and quickest form of healing.
As it is written in the vision of Isaiah,
"And thine health shall spring forth speedily" (Isaiah 58:8, Holy Bible).
Respect!

Awesome results! For my Grandma Rose 2011-2017 had Diabetes1. Then 96 yr old in 2017 did 15-9hrs. I.F. varies. Dry Fasting overnight. Healthy eating was 9am-6Pm. 2018 1yr later. Cured! Taken off of drugs too.
I throw in a dry fast before the day of weigh-in each week and then one when I do a 24-hour fast each week. It seems to be working! Thank you for reminding us all that we are a miracle and every time you bring us new information I am once again amazed by our abilities to self-heal.
I did a 4 day dry fast once. What I got rid of in the bathroom was wild. Decades worth of waste removed
Being a muslim and dry fasting a whole month of Ramadan every year for my whole life, it is great to hear these benefits.
I just wanna point out something... She says women should not dry fast a week before their cycles. But actually we do not fast DURING our cycles.
BTW, in some northern countries where days could be longer during summer time, muslims there dry fast like 18 to 20 hours a day :)
I like the info about hormone vasopressin, never heard ot it before, it was interesting.
I am giving this feedback respectfully, I am an OMAD person with defined cheat days. I am also 76. In my crowd, I live in a town on Vancouver Island with some of the best weather in Canada. Translation: although my town is not a gated elderly community, it is a town where Canadians come to retire to get out of the snow, which is almost all of Canada. We have one of the best off leash trails in North America with grand old very tall pine trees, kind of like walking in Stanley Park if you have ever been to Vancouver BC. And in this park, it's about almost all seniors with a smattering of "others." This means we are very social in these trails and of course discuss among other things our health, more than the average non-retired people.
As you know, the studies carried out on those over 70 are few and far between compared to the younger age groups. And a chart I recently saw illustrates this problem oh so very well. It was an OMAD chart for weight loss. The age brackets were something like 20 -29, 30 - 39, 40 - 49, 50 - 59, 60+. Apparently according to this chart, body metabolism and everything else biological in our body is the same at 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95, 100. I don't know how many medical commentaries and charts I see out there stop at age 65. I guess we don't really exist. Sadly, the truth is we aren't a priority in most studies.
I and my friends who walk in the above off leash dog park (average age 77) all have problems with muscle cramps. When I began OMAD, they got worse. The one treatment that has worked for myself and two of my friends is to increase water intake, I ingest approximately 8 or more tall glasses of water everyday. My breakfast is three glasses of water. [On a side note, my dry eyes symptoms really responded to the increased water intake, I still have symptoms but they reduce roughly 80%] The cramps disappeared when I and my two friends drank more water.
I did wonder if I was in a slight electrolyte imbalance due to OMAD. I do take supplements but considered an electrolyte powder without sugar in it but when the water improved my symptoms I decided against the powder.
With Ramadan, you have generations upon generations doing this ritual so I suspect their body has adapted to decreased water intake during their fasting. This is me just saying, reduced water for the elderly could increase or bring on cramping.
Hi mr.Rick. It´s lovely to read about your little corner out in Vancouver island. It sounds idyllic! I´m a Muslim and have fasted since I was allowed to, somewhere in my early teens. I wanted to share something, as you mentioned elderly people and Ramadan. The Islamic rule is that pregnant women, those menstruating and pre-pubescent children aren´t allowed to fast. As for the elderly, it is voluntary. I know several Muslims 70-85 who still fast though, because they love the "holiday" of Ramdhaan and feel like they´re missing out on the spiritual benefits if they don´t. In fact, we had to encourage one elderly aunty to stop fasting because she was pre-diabetic, and we reminded her that there´s no sin for her in not fasting...but she refused. It´s her favourite time of the year.
So yeah, sometimes it´s difficult to convince the elderly to stop, even though they are expiated from fasting according to religious rules. Ramadan is an incredibly powerful month, so most Muslims have a personal relation to it. We experience our little miracles during it. It usually takes 3 days to "get over" the initial phase, but after that, the appetite shrinks and the stomach feels almost shrunken. But those are just the physical effects. There´s much more that goes on in the mind and soul. I wish I could explain it well. Fasting is very much a willpower and mind-over-matter game than what non-fasting people think. Sadly, a lot of Muslims treat Ramadan as a feast, but more and more are now waking up to not doing that. Many are realising the connection with self-control, personal discipline and spiritual clarity. I think it´s great that non-religious people are discovering it as well!
@@Khwaab Thanks for the great reply!
Dr Mindy, Thanks for all you do!! You're right, our bodies are miraculous,....
"I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well."
Psalm 139:14
Exactly. It isn’t US healing our bodies but how God designed our bodies!
I've done multiple 8-10 day dry fasts (twice a year over the last 3-4 years) and find them much more beneficial, quick and in some way easier than water fasting (eg. I've done a few 20-30 days). However there is hardly anything in the world as mentally hard to bear as those last couple of days of a complete (to the end of body reserves) dry fasts. But when you manage this you get such a boost on the physical and mental level. I am now 2 weeks of recovery after a 8-days dry fast. Very happy with the result. The biggest issue is to correctly and patiently restart the digestion
Were you using daily enemas during your 8 day long DF ?
@@decathlete2000 no, no way, all the cleansing before the dry fast, 1st day of the fast is with water
Once a week, I dry fast for 36hours with a 10-15km run at the 35th hour! It’s incredible! I find it magical and far more easier and convenient than water fasting! One week, I lost 10pounds in 48hours
That's fantastic
I do weekly 36-40 hours water fast, looking to replace that with dry fasting! Why do you find it more convenient than water fasting if I may ask?
A gallon of water is 8 lb
your a legend, thats epic I cant wait till my body is healthy enough to be able to experience that
Did you drink water before you went on that run or did you run without water top up?
Alhamdulliah, Iam Muslim and have Ramadan fasting with offering prayers at day and midnight , I am 63 years old woman and with blessings of Almighty Allah ,my health has 1000000 benefits.
After fasting I have feel more strong ,not need any medicine as blood pressure, cholesterol r sugar.🇵🇰🇩🇰
For the last 6 months, I have been incorportating a 36-hr dry fast followed by a 36-hr water fast into my weekly schedule. I LOVE IT!!! Before incorportating the dry fast, I was doing a 48-hr water fast instead. Since adding the dry fast, I am experiencing way less bloating when I eat. My gut just "feels" better. Dry fasting in general is way easier than I thought it would be, but I will say this... I do struggle with fatigue the first morning and going into the afternoon of dry fasting. Since when I eat, I also incorporate a healthy carb day into my schedule, I allow myself to kick myself out of ketosis. I "think" the fatigue could be related to my metabolism switching back into ketosis....or as some other experienced dry fasters have told me, it also could be due to my body doing some healing. Whatever the reason, by the evening I am over it and feel awesome. :)
I mostly lay around when dry fasting.
I don’t push myself at all but just go lie down and watch tv/YT or read when I feel fatigued.
I’m a mom so that’s saying something! But I rly want to make my 40-42 hrs so I take the wkend. I start Fri at 7pm and end Sun noonish. I just don’t get a drink before bed Fri nite, not hard. Then Sun am I don’t even get up till I musttt then I try not to think about it. I’m not thirsty ever but I am antsy somewhat Sun am. Sometimes I only make it till 10am. But hey, I’ll take it!
Hi Everyone, I tried my first dry fast. I had my last drink with dinner and then dry fasted until a late lunch (1:30) the following day so approximately 16 hours and I was surprised how easy it was! I feel good and will definitely add it to my fasting schedule once in a while 😀👍
So u only fasted the morning
Good start
Very good what if you did this daily? I also found it is easier to fast this way then drinking water
I usually do a 24 hour dry fast monthly. How around twice a year I do a five to seven day water fast. To jump start the prolong fast I start off with the first 36 hours dry fasting. Personally I believe those 36 hours of dry fast provides a jump start to all the other benefits of a long water fast.
Hi, I made a 3 day dry fast once. All the pains I had left me during that journey. I lost much weight too. I am about to restart a dry fasting because my body is asking me for. Have a great day.
I usually start my quarterly 5 day fast dry for the first 2 and a half days. I find I deal with far less hunger pangs. There is definitely something to drinking too much water while fasting and muscle aches.
I don't remember where I read it but that the dry fast should come before the water fast so that's good
That's right. Dr Filonov's advice
I have done 5 day fasts with up to 3 days of Dry fasting embedded in the middle. My favorite is a 3 day fast with a 24 hour dry fast embedded in the middle. I have also done 12-24 hour stand alone dry fasts. Nothing, I mean nothing makes me feel better.
I experience more energy than with any other type of fasting, my mental acuity surges as a result of dry fasting, it is the fastest way for me, personally to get back into Ketosis if I am out - especially if I have been out of Ketosis for a week or more. As you mentioned here, I have no cramps with dry fasts but when I wet fast, I almost always have cramps for up to 3 days after the fast no matter what electrolytes i consume during the wet fast.
I do monitor health markers such as BP, Pulse, Pulse recovery rate and blood sugar when doing all fasting.
For me, Dry fasts embedded in the middle fo a wet fast is the best - even if it is only 12 hours wet, 24 hours dry, 12 hours wet yields the absolute best results with the least break-fast worries.
The timing of this video is so crazy, I am exactly halfway into a 5 Day Dr. fast. Thank you
So you eat and drink nothing for 5 days?
@@sandym340 I actually made it 4.5 days, 112 hours. I didn’t break my fast because I was suffering, I broke it as a matter of convenience because I had something coming up in a couple days and I didn’t want to be refeeding at that time.
I'm looking forward to doing the dry fasting with your community. Last week I did the 72hrs fast following your tips, listened to your videos, was an amazing support. Thank you.
I worked my way up with dry fasting for 16 hours now. And I feel so amazingly better. Like I did when I was younger. The energy is wonderful.
Well done do you do this every day?
As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints we are asked to dry fast 24 hours the first Sunday of every month. We give what we would have spent on food to the poor. This blesses us so much! 1. We feel more compassion and we feel to share more. 2. We feel closer to God. 3. We are blessed with better health. I love fasting!

Hi Dr Mindy,
Being a Muslim, I wanna mention that we observe fast once in a year for one month, which is actually based on daily 14-18 hour dry fast. We eat before sun rises, keep fast and then eat before sun sets. In between there is a fasting window of 14-18 hours. Every day we feel better and better. This Ramadan fasting benefits maximize if we follow keto biotic regimen. Every body can confidently keep 30 days dry fast which is actually daily fast of maximum 18 hours, like intermittent but without water too.
Love u

Hopefully your 2 meal is light and is at least 3 hrs before you go to bed
Funny I have clients that actually gain weight during the ramadan month. I'm guessing they eat horribly during their eating periods
@@carmieintegrativenutrition9591 exactly.
Indeed! Alhamdulillah..

I used to have an ED, and I fasted a lot. Dry fasting snd more.. I don’t have an ED no longer, but LOOKING BACK, I was never sick other than the «mental, ed thoughts» I have always felt that fasting always does more then just «becoming» thin, it should never be used in that way with negativity. But using it for Health benefits, in a regular and stable enviroment, I think is really good for the body. My immune system have always been really good, bliss to that and greatfull
I love dry fasting.
I find it easier than a water fast.
Longest I have is 3 days followed by 4 day of a water fast.
I dry fasted 2x's a week for 20-32 hours for 5 weeks to heal my broken fibula.
I didn't fast the first week but by the end of the six weeks I was released by the doctor and didn't have to wear anymore boot.
Usually a broken fibula takes 3-6 months.
The doctor asked me what I was doing. I just said fasting and he didn't ask anymore.
I am doing a long fast 2-3 days dry fast followed by 3-4 days water fast every 2 months.
I feel so much better
So is the weight loss welcome? Im already at goal weight but I have a fractured patella. Your testimonial is amazing. Re: “20Hrs DRY fast only 2x’s a week for 5Wks” repaired your fibula 🦴 I’m sure with physical therapy? After the 20Hr dry fast I’ll 🍋💦🥤& eat 🫐🍓, 4 🍳 & bigger 🥑🥦🥗. What else🍦😊Thank you for sharing.
Well done
Hope I recover. Am suffering from brain stroke. Pray for me InshaAllah.
Fasting stimulates the production of new stem cells so perhaps that helped a good bit, shame the doctor ignored your progres/method, my cardiologist was shocked when my heart wall thinned by 2mm, I have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(Thick heart wall) and asked me how, I told him fasting and he was curious, said he'd often suggested one day fasts but would have to look into what I was doing, which was 14 day water fasts.
in islam, beside ramadhan, there are a few suggested fasts for bonus spiritual reward. one of them is dry fast 2x per week every monday & thursday. so for practicing moslem, we often do this normaly not only in ramadhan and also thank you for the insight 😊
Barakallahu feek! Yes also the fasting of dawud (David) fasting every other day. As it was reported by prophet Muhammad ﷺ: “The best fasting is the fast of Dawood: he used to fast one day and not the next.”
اللهم تقبل منا صيامنا وقيامنا
Also Fasting 3 consecutive days for The White Days🤍
I dried fasted for 48 hours and it was amazing! I have had chronic pain for over 30 years but I noticed on the 2nd day I had no pain! If my body didn’t need nutrition I could have given up food. I will be dry fasting again. What I broke the fast with was warm water, then Korean seaweed soup. I drank only the broth first. About 2 or three hours later I ate the seaweed with the broth. The information I got for dry was from a Russian Doctor. They have more research about dry fasting. I believe India also practices dry fasting too. My pain did return after breaking the dry fast.
Pain did not return after the fast
This is powerful. No medicine from Dr was able to do this.
Hi, what about adding some salt to water to replenish electrolytes? Would it be safe?
If you decide to try a longer dry fast and you are a steady strong coffee drinker, be aware you may experience caffiene withdrawl (starting day 2).
This is interesting, it's often that my body respond well when I accidentally dryfast, it's as if my body prefers that to drinking when it's the shorter fasts. It's such a difference on my cgm monitor (I'm type1 diabetic). Så cool!
Dry fasting is one of best things I enjoy practicing in life. I am doing 5 days of dry fasting in a week during the whole winter.
🙌
Great study ! I have never done a dry fast, or knew nothing about it, so I love the idea of having a deeper form of Autophagy, so I will give it a try I'm sure I can do 16 hrs. without any issues. Your so right the body is so AMAZING were born to HEAL and SURVIVE. Thanks Dr. Mindy
Love dry fast. Just did 14hr dry fast and it feel great!
I think you are absolutely correct about the holding on to water. My country gets to 52+ C in the summer and when we fast ( Ramadan) under those conditions you are thirsty and your throat is dry but we are not camels so we can’t really store water. The best we can do is drink a glass of water and have some full fat yogurt before sun up. What I noticed is as the days go on, basically 5 days into the fast the thirst goes away. Seriously, I just assumed my body acclimated to the water reduction. After listening-to you that’s not really the case, it’s that our bodies are basically amazing and god is good. Thank You Mindy.
Ramadan is an amazing way to rest and strengthen the body and the soul❤
ramadan is not fasting.
Welcome to the original Lent. It's 600 years older.
@@incorectulpoliticwhy most muslim coutries low in chronic disease? at middle they eat meat almost every days.. so claim they vegan and do yoga at india. but they still high in cancer case.
@@incorectulpoliticit's fasting from food water and even talking bad, sins etc
... Lent didn't survive. It's sadly been hacked to bits by own followers to be "giving up chocolate" for 40 days. Or as my neighbor once explained she was giving up her favorite brand of cheese... but not all cheese. I'll stick with Ramadan, the true benefits can only be had with the spiritual and the dry fasting working together.. Ramadan is a reset moment for all muslims
You are an amazing teacher!! Love your delivery and its all research based!!
I am sooo happy to see you understand and admire the wonderful work of God, the Creator. He designed each one of us and our bodies are "wonderfully made" by Him. Awesome God!
As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, we practice a 24 hour dry fast once a month. I love hearing all these benefits I've been getting my whole life and didn't know about. Thanks Mindy! 🙏
I didn’t know but as a senior citizen I dry fast everyday just to stop peeing all night. I have no problem with dehydration. Omad I water up then (4 to 6 hour) feeding window
I have always been skeptical of the health experts that push drinking loads of water. I have only heard one real expert who said drinking if you are not thirsty has no health benefits at all.
Great info as always. After a lifetime with chronic anxiety I'm assuming my adrenals are fatigued and cortisol has seriously affected my brain! I'm concerned about the 600% increase in cortisol (I've had loss of muscle - still enough left!) but hope that the occasional dry fast, which I do, wont be any more harmful. IF, has transformed my life and a few whom I have influenced. Thanks to you and Drs Ekberg, Berry and Fung. x
There's a chap who responds on Dr John Campbells youtube channel occasionally,calls himself 'Pottingers Human' or similar ? click his 'read more' and he gives an incredibly detailed breakdown of how fasting benefits accrue at set times.He kindly provides many links also.Fasting ,it may be argued, could theoretically be useful in purging the spike-proteins many might have received following a recent,mass-'medical' 'procedure'.
Dry fasting is easier than water fasting for me. I only drink when I break my fast until I start my fast again. It's usually 12 to 18 hours
I can usually water fast without issues, but dry fasting has always been way harder for me. Usually can't go past 14-16hrs.
That’s still good! I’m sure you can extend that with some practice
Try adding electrolytes to your regular schedule... it will help get proper hydration into the cells. Will help you dry fast later on
Yes, we dry fast in Ramadan for 16-17 hours straight for a whole month. Our creator knew what we needed and what would do good for our bodies even before the science of different fasting methods got introduced. Dry fasting is powerful. Alhamdullilah. All hail to the MOST HIGH & EXALTED - ALLAH. The most merciful. 🙌🏼 Thank you so much for mentioning Ramadan Dr. Pelz!
Alhamdulilah
Fasting exists from ages. Prophet Mohammed was not the founder of Islam. The Quran is not and only book of Islam. Fasting exists from Adam s.
@@rocketshoot3027 also Quran was compiled 160 years after Mohammed was poisoned by the group of people that poisoned him.
@@rocketshoot3027 So i know that all our prophets including Adam fasted and he was the first man to fast and Allah has made it incumbent on him. I know that even cavemen fasted.
The first religion/human who started the practice of fasting?
According to many Imams and Islamic scholars, Prophet Adam was the first person to ever fast in human history. It is believed that the first fasting (done by Prophet Adam) was after his descent to earth and God’s acceptance of his prayers and repentance. It is also believed that he fasted 3 days each month during the entire year; they are the 13th, 14th, and 15th.
This is the verse of Quran-
O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, in order that you attain piety.} (Quran 2:183)
Allah does not exist. Accept Jesus Christ as the one and only true God as the only way to Heaven.
Really interesting stuff, Mindy! I have always found dry fasting way easier than water fasting and tend to feel better that way 🖤🥩
how many days have you done?
I did my first 36 hour dry fast and it was amazing . A great experience . I do eat very clean and am fit and healthy but I’m also 63 . I did it to reduce inflammation in an old foot injury that still has pain . It has for sure helped . I will do one once a month .
Thank you Dr mindy pelz and blessings for you and your program, cause you're bringing insights into some folks intellect. As a Muslim I dry fasting every Mondays and Thursdays plus on 13th-14th-15th of luna (ever month)and let not forget the month of Ramadan fasting plus there's many more fasting in the 4 holy months of the Islamic calendar (luna) these months are (Dhu al-Qadah, Dhu'l-Hijjah,Muharram and Rajab. It is said (known)that if you (one) fast for 3 days every month it is has fasted a lifetime 1×10= so just 3 days fasting you'll gain 30 days fasting. I mean it's not plain sailing and you get good days and also bad days like when you feel weak and hungry you just break some of these optional voluntary
Fasting, such as our prophet Muhammad (saw) did on some occasions. Keep on healing the world dr mindy, because there is nothing like fasting benefits -spiritual awareness etc.
Alhamdulilah, ya akh.. 😊👍🏻
I'm on hour 26 of wet fasting. Feel great! Thanks Dr. Mindy for your incredible advice and coaching!!
Sounds good
The time I dry fasted 26 hours I didn’t feel very well, but the results were so fantastic, that I guide my fastings by the results rather than the good feeling. Eventually I began feeling better, although never too pleased. The results are the best motivation to persevere in this process.
@@carlosroman8252 Thanks for the encouragement! This is definitely a private physical journey, but I am beginning to understand why this can be a spritual journey as well. I realize I can be a slave to earthly satiety, but aspire to rise above it. Adversity and discipline can breed character and healing of mind, body and soul. Best wishes to you in your journeys.
All my adult life I was doing at least one per month 24 h dry fasting, we do that in church, so it's so amazing hear that it's the powerful fasting! I love how much I learn from you! Thank you so much! I am in the second day of fasting, I want to do 11 days fasting, I want recover fast, I had an accident and I broke a vértebra, and I know the power of fasting! I alredy use fasting to help me to recovered for another bike accident were I broke a rib🙈, I know I have to be more careful, and believe me, know I am very scared! But fasting always help me to recover of my healthy issues! I think everyone have to know itself, so can feel what can do to improve the healthy! I am from Brazil and I am so glad for having this opportunity to learn with you!
What church do you belong to? I'll be praying for your fast recovery! 🙏
Finally what happened to your fast? What did it help, if it helped?

How is your vertebrae injury going?
I practice dry fasting for 4 days and nights, without eating or drinking anything, I feel excellent afterward. I break it up with drugstore serum diluted with a little grape juice for flavor. Roberta, também sou do Brasil.
I glean inspiration, love and power from hearing your words, Dr. Mindy. Thank you, thank you, thank You!
Dr. Mindy, this is fascinating material. I am really looking forward to additional postings on dry fasting. I did one day of dry fasting within a five-day fast, and it worked out quite well. Boy, I had no idea how good water could taste...
@Pete Allen I did a 72 hr dry fast a couple of weeks ago. The weather was fairly hot, but I continued doing light work throughout the fast. Slept VERY good at night. Seemed to have more energy. But... that third day!! Wow! I really wanted some water bad!! Severe dry mouth.
I have several health issues I am trying to get natural healing for, so had a REASON for sticking with the dry fast. The third day, I experienced a very great clarity in worship & prayer to the LIVING GOD, and a very sweet spirit of serenity & calmness.
As you said, Pete, "Boy, I had no idea how good water could taste..." LOL 😆 The last several hours were the hardest for me to do without water. After my 72 hrs were completed, I started drinking purified water slowly.
The next day, I juiced a huge, sweet, juicy, delicious, organic, Watermelon to break my fast on. It produced almost 3 gallons of Watermelon juice, so I drank Watermelon juice exclusively for the next few days. (Also a good detoxification food) Many Thanks to Dr Pelz for her insight on dry fasting.
@@searchingfortruth3096 thank you I have a nice watermelon waiting on me too. Never blended it but will definitely try it out
I'm just thinking. Wow! I did one dry fast a while ago and honestly it was the best I have ever felt. Looking forward to trying this again. Thank you dr mindy.❤
how long was your dry fast?
@@sandym340 hi fasting friend. I am just intrigued by this dry fasting and have been dry fasting again now after listening to dr mindy. I am doing 12 to 16 hours and using it with my regular intermittent fasting. This is day 6 or 7. I dont find it hard at all and am feeling great. So I eat carnevore, once a day. 4 hours after i eat, I start the dry fast part, then go 12 to 16 hours and have some black coffee and then almost time for my eating window. I am finding that I sleep better, have less leg cramps, and my energy is good. I would love to see the excess skin in my tummy , from 10 pregnancies, be gone. I really think I'm seeing a difference in my skin. Have you tried the dry fasting yet? Keep me posted. Good luck.
Thank you for mentioning Ramadan! I was lectured by colleagues several years in a row because of my dry fasting... I've dry fasted around 18 hrs a few years ago in a Nordic country and felt that getting enough sleep is key for me. If I don't get a good sleep, it becomes difficult. This year days are much shorter during Ramadan. I'm used to dry fasting but when I tried fasting on Ekadashi days (drinking only water) it was very difficult for me, I got light-headed in the afternoon. Electrolyte balance could've been the reason!
💙
I’m just starting a fast and came across this info. So glad I thought to seek your advice. Thanks Dr. Mindy
I dry fast daily for 16-18 hours and sometimes even 20 hours (in winters it's mostly 24 hours) and it feels so good on my body, mind and soul
Interesting
just ended my 36 and 40 mins wet fasting and feel great full of energy😁
Daily intermittent dry fasting (20:4). Drink all of your water (plenty) during the eating window.
That's pretty much what I do.
Interesting. Thanks, Dr Pelz.
Great information! Thank You! 😁🙏🏼🤍💖💛
Thank you so much, I have been fasting for 2 months - and the results are so incredible that everyone is asking me how I do it. Sooo sooon!!! I have seen many of your videos. I also have experience with fasting from the past. My dad and my husband's mum they have experience with longer fasting too - and also she was fasting all her life and she didn't listen to people who pushed her to eat breakfasts and she was thin all her life. But I personally - I didnt listen to her. I hed been trying to be healthy and tried like to eat 5 times per day... running 10 km per day... and what? I got fat and tired... Why? Because I am usually very skeptical of diets and overall I needed a proof in science. And that is what I got from you, a very detailed explanation. People around me usually can't speak English so they don't understand your videos. So when somebody asks me how I did it - I am sooo excited to learn them about fasting - as a friend, not as a professional - but I spread your knowledge as a cofighter. I think I have a very good understanding of the core of fasting. So I tell people - it is not a diet, it is a return to natural eating. Thank you very much!!!!!!
🙌🏻
Observing Ramadan, so dry-fasting 14+ hrs/day ... some days more. Also: OMAD. I've dropped 10 lbs, my edema is almost/mostly disappeared, and my prostate is much better even without my usual supps/herbs. Wow. And I was going to weasel out this year and not do the fast -- so glad I didn't. EDIT: forgot one more -- my blood pressure has dropped about 25 points -- I'm now 122/78.
No, they are not fasting, they are just not eating from sunrise to sunset. From sunset to sunrise they eat like 3 horses. The worst time to eat is between susnet and sunrise.
The definition of fasting is to not eat and drink anything for at least 24 hours. Fasting mechanisms begin to start after exactly 24 hours.
I love learning and listening to your videos! 😊
Thanks so much. My cycle threw me off this time. I didn’t know what was happening, but I listened to my body and knew I had to break.
I am currently in a study, we're doing a 120 hours dry fast. There's about 30 of us.
Wow! Cool!
How can i join the group
Not good will eventually ruin your health .
I’m on day 6 of water fasting. Goal was 7 but I may extend depending how I feel. I have no hunger, more energy, and clarity of thinking. I will consider adding dry fasting into my routine soon.
Tomorrow is going to be my 4th day and i feel great, so much energy!! Yesterday i felt horible but yeah i am also fasting for 7 days now going to 40days for spiritual reasons😇 what really helps me is sunlight i eat from that energy but also fasting videos like yours so thank you very much!
Hey just wanted to thank you for your amazing educational video. I am a Muslim we do dry fast twice a week as it was practiced by our beloved prophet Mohammed please be upon him and 3 days a month beside Ramadan it's not mandatory fast it's voluntary and it's actually amazing as when I don't think any water or anything like I do on normal days when I do intermittent fasting I don't get hungry at all. You are doing amazing work love from the bottom soul of my heart ❤️
I'm fasting Ramadan for 30 days with no gaps 16 hours. last year was 19 hours long but I feel more confident, enjoining and more happier than the other months.

I'm looking at dry fasting as possibly my only hope at achieving well-defined abs at 57. Many people do not realize that that remaining loose skin hiding their abs is not all fat and it's not all water, but rather some messy mixture between the two. I'm gonna do this dry fast for two days and see what happens. I've exhausted all other options. I've cut out the carbs, walked for countless hours, done intermittent fasting, did the HIIT thing and now doing 36 hour fasts. Evolution just doesn't want older men to look good. The only concern I have about dry fasting is should I do cardio? Cardio requires water. I think I'll lay in my bed while I don't drink any water for 24 hours and see what happens.
Thank you for all this, Dr. Mindy Pelz.
Wow doing doing dry fasting from Monday to Friday is a good thing to do. And Saturday and Sunday is my cheat day 🙃 enjoy with my family.
Just finished a 48 hour dry fast. One crucial thing people must be aware of before trying is to make sure you have kicked any caffeine habit. That was what did not work for me when i did a dry fast about a year and a half ago: big headache that was very uncomfortable going into the first night. I would say be off caffeine for at least a month or two before trying. Otherwise, this recent dry fast was very easy. I would say it’s actually easier than water fasting. I highly agree with the electrolyte issue resolution from this type of fasting, this fast corrected some electrolyte issues I was having with cramping in my legs. Also, I did feel the effects of vasopressin: one other thing to mention about vasopressin is that it encourages you to take risks more. When you consider it, it makes sense: the body will be constantly looking to improve your overall strength so that you can find food and water soon, and it also is encouraging you to maybe try some new things! Hahaha: like ‘hey pal! Maybe try a different hunting technique here, it could help the both of us out!’
headaches are very common in fasting, when toxins are leaving the body. In long fasting, they might last up to one week, then easy up.
Agree. As a coffee addict, I switch to decaff a few weeks before ramadhan. This sorts out the headaches.
I find dry fasting easier than water fasting. It is easy to do 14 hours of dry fast daily with 8 or more hours being over sleep. So for example: dry 6 p.m. to 8 a.m., 6-8 hr eating window within those 10 hours.
On going: dry fasting Mondays and Thursdays, plus 3 white days days a month, then Ramadan. Its amazing
The kitchen analogy makes it so clear....nice !
Ramazan fasting wasn't agreed with my acid reflux because I can eat in 2 or 3 o'clock in morning and open fast 9 o'clock at night time 😔
I got so bad acid
But I will try different times for dry fasting
I love omd and autophagy you taught us and drinking water is helping my acid reflux actually I don't have no more acid reflux 🙏
Thanks so much DR mindy love and respect 🙏♥️♥️♥️
I was waiting for you to make video on dry fasting. Thanks for doing this. Also I loved the fact you told that when we put body under stressful situation, first reaction of body is to build itself stronger....
My Pastor mentions fasting while cringing... I plan to teach this at my church with the proper platform. I've shunned fasting because I didn't know these benefits! See, I shunned fasting without knowing the benefits. I'm 64 in need of a total physiological makeover. I'll follow the training video as well. I'm commenting a year after this video production as if it came out yesterday. Peace.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Thank you Dr. Mindy! This is info I needed to know. Question: Has anyone done a "Day of Atonement" / "Yom Kippurim" dry fast study? This is a 1 day / 24 hour annual dry fast done by various groups including Orthodox Jews, Messianic and Church of God groups.
We do during for Teshuva and that whole seadon in addition to several other times of the year. The aim is a spiritual one, so its accompanied with scripture meditation or proclaiation and of course prayer.
On average there's anything from a three to five day absolute 'dry' fast.
Christians are enjoined not to make an open show of fasting, so it is not obvious as we go about daily life fasting without creating a guilt trip on any group.
The key us prepartion, reduce caffeine, eat gut friendly foods, cruciferous vegetables, keep hydrated etc before commencing the fast. Taper off the quantity of food & continue with regular hydaration, cut out processed foods. Just the common sense stuff.
Hope this helps.
I would be interested in this study as well.
💚🏜️ dry fasting...so excited to learn
I'm on my 3rd day, of my 5 day dry fast. I feel much better than the first 2 days. My legs feel lighter already, and my brain fog is gone. I am feeling a little lethargic, but not as much as ai did on the first 2 days. I am hoping to go 5 days, because I did a 6 day dry fast a year ago, that was quite a journey, and I had amazing results. My goal this time is to cleanse my body of toxins, get rid of sugar cravings, and the edema in my legs, also to dissolve fat stores. I'm 100 pounds over weight, and at 66 that is quite a toll on my body. I want to discipline my body to get rid of fat. I want to be as healthy as I can be at my age. This is my second dry fast that I have ever done, I did my first dry fast about a year ago, I dry fasted for 6 days, and it was quite an enlightening experience. Thanks for letting share my story.
Thank you for sharing! 💙
I did a 3 day dry fast and I had to stop because my lips were turning too dry. When I finally put some water in it felt really dense and could feel it going down. Not sure if I'd do it longer than 3 days but I got a huge amount of energy the day prior.
Hello, Dr. Pelz. Great content. In an effort to get healthy and get rid of obesity, I've been doing OMAD for a few months. I love it. But I've recently added a workout regime to my routine. Was wondering what advice you'd give when working out after a 12 hour dry fast. Should I time the fast so that I drink water before my workout?
Thank you for the enlightening knowledge
