Well spiritual “evolution” is unfortunately arbitrary, and as for doing “just fine” physically … couldn’t they also have done “just fine” without the dry fast too? In other words, what reasons would even be left for dry fasts in that case 🤷♂️

How did you prepare for this “Phoenix Protocol?” How long until the first day of this protocol and how much of what certain food or beverage did you consume?
I ate no food and drank no water for 8 days. I did it as a parasite cleanse. The book is available on Amazon. It was also a very spiritual experience. ☮️💗🧘
Thank You @BodyEssentials so much for showing your appreciation and supporting the channel, and for helping me get the message of health out to the world. 🙏 🏆 😄
This is a great video and so true...but the purpose of a dry fast is that for this compressed time (one to three days) is to speed up the process of cleansing by forcing the body to become its own incinerator and our bodies create its own water from hydrogen inside of the excess fat cells in the body...so yes i agree with you but this dry fast is great if done correctly
Another fantastic video from Dr. Ekberg! You knocked it out of the ballpark once again. That bit in the beginning about the angle of the hydrogen molecules blew my mind!! I took chemistry in high school and we covered H2O, but nothing was mentioned about the significance of their angle. I still can’t stop thinking about it. Also your comparison of humans to camels, dolphins, beavers, and the happy hopping mouse was very interesting. Once again, well done.
You did a great job in talking about Water. I am following the Japanese water therapy for 15 years or so. The difference in how do you feel before/after is enormous. I would say, Water is everything related to life itself like, thinking, moving, working, playing, making love and having a good quality of life. During years I observed a curios thing, the more water you drink the more you will be drinking, but, the less you will drink the less you will feel the need to drink. I think the explanation for this is related to electrical signals in our body, like no water, no signal, less water less signals.This situation could become dangerous if the brain does not get signals from other organs.

I never fail to learn something with each new video. 👍 For a while now I was rarely drinking enough water so I searched for a reminder app for my phone, and now use that app to monitor water intake. You specify the daily total intake desired and how many times during a predetermined time period you wish to be alerted, and you receive a reminder at intervals throughout the day. The app has different vessels shown, so it's simply a case of pressing the appropriate vessel and that particular volume will be added to the running total. My drinking habits have changed for the better and I now drink more regularly and never reach the point of feeling thirsty.
I take your discussions as ultimate scientific understanding on human health and manage my lifestyle knowing well the reasons behind. At 65 and diabetic, I am not able to eliminate all my my meditation but believe can do it soon. I practice intermittent fasting and progressively avoiding all carbohydrates rich food. results are excellent. Issues are sustainability, that I need to improve.
When I used to drink a lot of water (and I mean only a litre a day) I used to find myself more thirsty and could never quench my thirst. Now I just drink when I’m thirsty and feel much better. I don’t believe in forcing yourself to drink. Yes water is a solvent and it can remove the minerals from things like mud for the plant species. When my parents were young it was recommended to drink just 2-3 cups a day
When I was 18 years old, I was living on the farm and became a cucumber addict. They were great to take out in the fields to refresh liquids and tasted good. I ate so many that I ended up becoming constipated so bad that I ended up at the hospital.
Great video! I learned a lot from this. Because I always thought you had to drink a lot of water especially if you’re losing weight. But if I have enough in me, then I shouldn’t have to worry about it. Thank you again, so I don’t have to guzzle gallons of water to lose weight.
When I don't drink enough water, I get into big trouble. My blood pressure goes nuts and when I stand i almost faint and sending my pulse sky high, sweating etc. Drink water when you get older.
Thank you for your videos Dr. Ekberg! So much good information! I didn't know that much about water's effect on the body. Just knew you needed to drink plenty. I consider you to be one of my doctors... information is huge in maintaining good health! Thank you, and hope you have an awesome day!
Every objection to dry fasting could also be applied to water fasting. You need food to survive. If you stop eating you will eventually die. Yet somehow people survive fasting and get enormous benefits from it. Likewise, people survive dry fasting and get far more benefits than water fasting
Dear Dr. Ekberg; I discovered your videos few weeks ago, and my life is way better now. I will make sure to visit your clinique in Georgia when it us possible.
Will be dry fasting for 29/30 days, 13-14hours daily in 15 days time. Will definitely replenish with water and quality food when breaking fast and non fasting hours.
I am learning a lot from your videos Dr Ekberg..thank you so very much. Now i feel a lot better than before..i am a diabetic..now my sugar is almost normal for 1 month even my Blood Pressure.
Who invented human body? (Or any body in nature). After listening these videos I am more and more amazed. Of course, I knew that nature is a miracle, but now even more I am in aw. We know so little about the home of our soul. We take better care about our cars than our body. You do not put diesel in the engine that needs gas. But we put anything in a human body, without questioning.
Thank You @rogerramos6534. Great question. I cover this in the video. It soon becomes impossible for the kidney to remove toxins. See video for complete explanation. 😀
The best doctor ever. I only drink water so started to do do this about 12 years ago. I don’t drink anything else. Water is my best friend. 😊😊😊😊😊 thanks Dr. Elberg u are awesome. I also drink lots of herbal teas and chia tea lattes. Water is the best nothing beats water. 😂😂😂😂
..Sounds good...Poverty is a major health problem, this needs to be addressed...People are fighting a war of attrition and worse, to hold on to their homes, possessions, family, and life...That has been my case for about a decade...Using an electric heater and hot plate for years, is not easy.... Right now I am just getting food stamps at least...They say i am on SSI, but I haven't gotten a penny of SSI...The banks, credit businesses, etc seem to be withholding rights to funds...Help government agencies are not assisting properly... Terrorism, harassments, vandalism, high tech manipulation, etc are out of control for decades around this city..My parents are missing....Staying as healthy as possible, is vital to handling this....Law enforcement seems to be apart of these trouble makers and crooks...Any suggestions?
Thank you for taking the time to clarify water consumption. Especially the color since that has always been a mystery to me. At least I can better regulate it based on observation.
Here in Montana I find it hard to stay hydrated in the winter. I just don't drink water. Coffee, that's it! In the summer I drink a ton of water. I can tell it is not good when I don't drink much water.
Good advice as always, thanks, Dr. Ekberg. I never understood why some people tell you to drink 9 glasses of water at least daily when you would get quite a bit of "water" in by just eating or having a soup. I wonder though: would you like to do a video on "dry fasting" at some point? I'd like to hear an expert opinion about it. Some people swear by it but it sounds very dangerous to not drink or eat anything for up to 3 days(hydration wise). I guess 1 day is fine for a healthy adult, maybe 2 will also work but 3 seems to be pushing it, especially when you're somewhat active and/or it's hot.
there was value in it for me because it helped me realize that i often have water or zero calorie drinks out of habit, rather than from genuine need. I now wait for genuine thirst, and therefore i waste less time on unconscious and unproductive activity. Likely there was an element of addiction because black tea and coffee contained caffeine. I think people who are still battling health problems should not go beyond a day with dry fasting. You can probably do what the Muslims do, but I would wait until youre more robust and healthy before going beyond a day.
I am one of those ppl that swear by dry fasting I have done multiple dry fast longest was 7 days.... I do a soft dry fast still take showers, brush teeth, or wash hands. No food or water. Benefits of dry fast are amazing
Dear Doctor, Requesting you to kindly make a video on Nutritional Yeast please. There's too much hype around it, and also, too much misinformation. It's completely confusing. Kindly do help Sir. Thanks
Thank you @frankjackson6085. I appreciate your feedback. Also make sure you check out my video library. There are over 400 videos organized by topic and play list. 😄 ua-cam.com/channels/Ie2pR6PE0dae9BunJ38F7w.html
Hello, any chance on a video about food allergies? I am struggling with them for my whole life. Currently on OMAD keto and they seem to get a bit better, but i would love some scientific info behind this. Thank you very much, really changed my view on eating.
The way you explain is unmatched and logical. I watch your videos with great devotion. You made me aware of everything I never imagine. Thank you sir. ❤
Water. The universal solvent amazing. Just after I posted this you said it. We learned this in health class and the next year in chemistry. I have never forgotten it. And I'll probably never stop commenting as I go along listening to you🤣🤣🤣.
I have been following you for some time and my health has improved greatly. I would like to hear your opinion about oxalates, are they really as harmful as described in other videos? Thank you.
Dry fasting is the new term but truly it’s the only form of true fasting! It’s been around for generations and I do it and I’ve never had an issue 🤷🏽♀️
@@wendydomino Preparation is key for dry fasting. Alot of snake juice the day before fasting makes the fast easier. Avoiding exercise also important if aiming for 7 days. Other than that it's simply mind over matter
I've never heard of anybody dry-fasting...but during covid I know I was doing it INvoluntarily and I lost 25 lbs in 10 days...most of it being the last 5 days
Glad for this video because I was questioning this last week when my 89 year old tiny neighbor has no diabetes, heart problems etc. Before she fell last year, she was mowing. I saw the liter of water she drinks daily and no more and she is healthy. I was thinking she does not need more and her organs are all good because she won't strain them like that. Yet, we hear that we gotta drink a huge bottle of water daily. As am transitioning carnivore I am getting less and less thirsty too.
I finished a 6 day dry fast. It got really bad on day 5: the heart was beating with a force that shook my belly and the bed. The mouth was filled with slime. The tubes that connect the ears and the throat opened. Urinated two times a day the color of coffee, and had to flush it twice. I didn't feel an urge to drink except when seeing images of food, an hardly sweatted at all. Being under sunlight made me feel dizzy, still without sweat (and no need to take a shower). Did not come any close to fainting, but had a brief loss of vision after getting up from sleep. Amazing how much water goes back in without coming out. I've regained food and water weight of 6 kg within one day, and urinated hardly more than during my fasting. At first I feared my kidneys had imploded. I find strange how English speakers throw around the word "dehydrated" for mundane situations. They don't say "thirsty," in need of a drink after a trip outdoors. But speak as if they emerged from a science laboratory. Also words like hybernating, masticating, perspirating etc. I confirmed that there is enough water reserve that we don't need to carry a tank with us on the road, and that it's not really important to refill the water slowly. I drank 1 kg of water within minutes and an additional 1 kg in the next hour. I seem to crave salt, but can't say if it's for the savory taste. Once I tried drinking a totally obscene amount of water. It came out over the course of 8 hours.
7 day dry fast next? One you get used to dry fasting it gets alot alot easier. I done 5 7 day dry fasts and aim for twice a year in the cooler months. Some say dry fasting is bad, some say its the best thing for you. Me personally find I am stronger and healthier around 2 weeks after recovering after the dry fast. All my spots go and cravings go. I also appreciate the simple things in life. So for me dry fasting is the best.
I have dry fasted a few times in the past and the longest I’ve gone was about 7-8 days and it’s done wonders for me and is better than water fasting in my opinion, however I find that your pre fasting regimen plays a major role in your dry fasting journey. So if your diet was bad for weeks, months, even years with much sugar, refined and artificial sugars, processed foods etc it’ll be a bad experience overall. With that being said how you prepare and break your fast is what determines how it’ll be. Hopefully that wasn’t the case with you because dry fasting heals better than any other method ik even medicine. If you should decide to try again I hope that it works out the way it should, so you can see the positive progression! 👍🏽🤗💯
I have completed 7 days. I guess the often repeated claim of 3 days has been debunked. But I did wash myself unlike some challengers I've seen online. The byproducts that come out are nasty. I have doubts that those celebrities didn't wash themselves. It could be realistic if only saltwater was available. I've spent 20-40 minutes under the sun each day. The increase in heat provoked thirst and discomfort in the chest. My body mass decreased by close to 1 kg per day, stabilizing today at 0.5 kg decrease for a 62 kg total when I stopped urinating. The end is near. I've also lost ability to sleep near the end. I think I'm prompted to be alert and seek a water source. I'm going to binge drink soon from a spring water. I feel strength coming from nowhere to do that. I have previously felt that drinking while fasting agitates my stomach for food, and I lose some microelements and feel weaker. I only have access to basic salt and ascorbic isolated.
August Dunning has a lot of videos about dry fasting. Says coming out of the fast is the most important part of the fast. You definitely want to get in water during the dry fast to help the lymphatic system flush out toxins. He highly suggest breaking a fat by drinking 8-12 oz of filtered water with 1/2-1 tsp of baking soda over 45-60 minutes and then a quart of coconut water over the next 2 hours and then tangy tangerine electrolyte mix with carbonated water( it braised the citric acid) then do an enema to flush the toxins out and have some bone broth. Eat soups, broths over the next couple days while adequately hydrating yourself and then incorporate regular foods around the 3-4th day after breaking the fast. More than willing to learn anything from y’all and hopes this helps in the future
@@j7ndominica051dehydrated is not the same as thirsty. I can show signs of dehydration, I still dont feel thirsty. Even on a dry fast, i dont feel thirst! Do dont worry about English use of various words! There are valid reasons... Most of the time. Maybe not with bureaucracy , but other things, yes, the bigger words can be necessary. Also, congrats on the fasting. You must have a very strong mind! I am getting used to dry fasting, myself! Its so different to water fasting!!
dr stan, are you familiar with _the phoenix protocol_ by august dunning? it's a _soft_ dry fast, and though too challenging for most folks, some can benefit from a proper soft dry fast
Great information! I'm prone to kidney stones, and my kidneys let me know--yes, they talk to me, lol--and if I'm not good to them, they let me know! Is distilled water better for we who are prone to kidney stones? I have it on hand but don't drink it exclusively. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!
My mom had to be hospitalized because she stopped eating and drinking for a couple of days and had to get a saline injection treatment. She is really sad 😞 and depressed for a variety of unknown reasons and she is continuing to deteriorate rapidly. If she continues on this destructive path her body will give up 🆙 and she will be dead 💀. I really hope she starts eating and drinking normally again.
I thought you might touch on dry fasting. I myself dry fasted for three days, many have done five, I’m not sure about more. And the theory that your body makes its own water from adipose tissue.
Excellent Informative Video, Thankyou! This is invaluable, vital information and you've put the key considerations across so well here, viewers will come away both educated and capable of staying in tune with their own specific requirements, knowing how much and how often to drink to maintain proper hydration and also how to correctly react to important signalling from the body itself.
Your videos are always very informative, however; there are over 1.5 Billion people who follow Dry-Fasting in the month of Ramadan for either 29 or 30 days from 13 to 17 hours/day according to lunar Calendar, and they do not have problem. In fact, during Ramadan, digestive issues, cramps, Muscle pains, and several other problems go away. However, they drink enough water at both ends of Fast
I dry fast at least four days a week. I replaced my intermittent fasting with it. I drink a bottle of water every night before bed usually about 9:30. The next morning I don’t eat or drink until 2pm. I have noticed my blood pressure no longer runs high and my doctor took me off my BP medicine. My indigestion no longer bothers me and my joints have stopped aching. I have not made any changes to my diet but I’ve always ate well and in moderation. I respect doctors and mine is even impressed with the results that I have seen but I’m also religious and the Bible instructs us to fast. When an animal is not feeling well it instinctively does not eat or drink for longer periods of time. During Ramadan people of Muslim faith abstain from food and water from dawn to dusk for 30 days and studies have shown that their health improves during this time.
It would have been interesting if you could have included the dangers of water toxicity ... drinking too much water too quickly and how it could end someone's life.
I was treated for a probable kidney stone….probably passed unnoticed b4 I went to er….but assumed . I was told to drink 63 oz water….i am 75…110#…5’ Ultimately I washed out my electrolytes…..I have never been more sick ( huge headache, dizzy, could not think, nausea, anxiety like crazy, ) ended up in er on electrolyte I V….it took a couple of weeks to recover fully. On advice of my now physician I have figured out how much water I feel the best on….turned out about 35 oz is right for me….along with 1 five ounce carrot/ orange juice…a little coffee and drink a little more if thirsty * if your urine is constantly clear….over hydrated* Caution:…..washing out your electrolytes is a nightmare….and dangerous
In Ramadan you eat at the end of the day and start of the day. He is talking about those that do a continuous dry fast for days. No water no food, day and night. Nothing at all.
You are are a fountain of information about water thank you I am going to monitor my water consumption in my new food journal and keep track of the colours of my output in it as well. 🤔😄🍀🌟🍀🖖🖖🖖💖👍👍👍🍀🌟🍀👋🙋🏼♀️👋
Dr. Ekberg, you mention that drinking too much puts extra stress on other organs. Which ones and does this include the kidneys? Can you please expand your explanation. I am getting so many benefits from your videos too, thanks so much.
I've wanted to know the answer to this for some time and my doctors don't know. Like a lot of people I've slipped into the habit of having way too much water I believe and it affects your sleep and is simply a hassle having to go to the bathroom all the time. I've noticed when doing Keto and drinking electrolytes my body seems crave water much less. You would think it would be the opposite, but the electrolytes seemed to put the body in homeostasis to where you just don't need massive amounts of water if you've slipped into that habit.
Very good information. My granddaughters said oh is that why you mostly give us water to drink? Question: If a person’s skin and hair is dry but is urinating regularly and clear, what can be the possible cause?
Yes, true. One should sip small amount of water in single go, like the way animals do. Gulping large amounts of water altogether is detrimental to our health.
Oh oh I’m bad lol I dry fasted for 5 straight days and I lived to tell the tale lol I’m fine and when you dry fast it gets deep into the cells and cleanses out the garbage … I felt better once I came off after I did that best I ever felt … will continue to dry fast as it’s a tool you use if you know how to do it right ….just my opinion .do your research before doing it..
How little is too little water? Your body lets you kniw when to eliminate urine, you don't chose the concentration level by drinking more. Your body will not signal you to urine until it decides.
@@terrafirma9328 Sorry to inform you that you have confused urinary urgency with thirsty. The former governed by bladder fullness and the latter by chemoreceptors and thirst centre.
@@drekberg Very nice job done. Just add a few points though. When water evaporates it cools the temperature a lot through latent heat. Camel and other desert animals generate metabolic water as well. Water is a universal solvent because of several factors: small size, being dipolar, ionizable etc. Thirsty is triggered by hyperosmolarity as well as low blood pressure (chemoreceptors and baroreceptors).
@@drekberg Is there any truth to "Dry Fasting" benefits and some sort of "special autophagy" that Dr. Mindy Pelz is pushing all over UA-cam? It seems quite contrary to your study on it and puts mixed messages out there.
You may need to do more research especially in Russia studies there’s huge benefits to dry fasting meaning going a period of time without food or water, currently completed 25th it’s in my 72hour dry fast and am feeling amazing so you may need to dig deeper

Hi fictor berg
I dried fasted for a week, never felt better afterwards.
It does not cost energy, It is just take heat energy from your body when you get too hot and sweat and water evaporite.
What u talking about we fast in Ramadan for 30days from sun rise to sunset so no thing happens

I've seen people dry-fasting for 10 days - they evolved enormously in a spiritual way and did just fine physically.
They must have healthy kidneys. I don't think I could do that.
Well spiritual “evolution” is unfortunately arbitrary, and as for doing “just fine” physically … couldn’t they also have done “just fine” without the dry fast too?

Thank you for reminding me about chia tea latte! I could change my coffee to that! 👍🏻
So apart from milk in your tea, since latte means milk, and other teas, you "only drink water".
Another learning opportunity from you, Doctor Elbert. I changed my life in good because of you teaching videos. Thanks a lot.
Dr. Elbert is one of the best health teachers on UA-cam!😊
..Sounds good...Poverty is a major health problem, this needs to be addressed...People are fighting a war of attrition and worse, to hold on to their homes, possessions, family, and life...That has been my case for about a decade...Using an electric heater and hot plate for years, is not easy.... Right now I am just getting food stamps at least...They say i am on SSI, but I haven't gotten a penny of SSI...The banks, credit businesses, etc seem to be withholding rights to funds...Help government agencies are not assisting properly... Terrorism, harassments, vandalism, high tech manipulation, etc are out of control for decades around this city..My parents are missing....Staying as healthy as possible, is vital to handling this....Law enforcement seems to be apart of these trouble makers and crooks...Any suggestions?
Are you ok? Your parents... Missing?
Brilliant video, very clear and informative! Your really doing a great job, thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to clarify water consumption. Especially the color since that has always been a mystery to me. At least I can better regulate it based on observation.
Did not discuss dry fasting.
LOVE THIS CHANNEL 👍 YOU MAKE IT SO EASY TO FOLLOW AND UNDERSTAND THINGS ‼️ THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO..
Great video! Thank U DrEkberg. Good to know 👍🏻
Thank you @Patinkular for letting me know. I really appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching.😄
Here in Montana I find it hard to stay hydrated in the winter. I just don't drink water. Coffee, that's it! In the summer I drink a ton of water. I can tell it is not good when I don't drink much water.
Thank You @montanamountainutv. Try hot water with a squeeze of lemon or an herb tea. That will fight the cold.😀
Just said the exact same thing.
Good advice as always, thanks, Dr. Ekberg. I never understood why some people tell you to drink 9 glasses of water at least daily when you would get quite a bit of "water" in by just eating or having a soup. I wonder though: would you like to do a video on "dry fasting" at some point? I'd like to hear an expert opinion about it. Some people swear by it but it sounds very dangerous to not drink or eat anything for up to 3 days(hydration wise). I guess 1 day is fine for a healthy adult, maybe 2 will also work but 3 seems to be pushing it, especially when you're somewhat active and/or it's hot.
there was value in it for me because it helped me realize that i often have water or zero calorie drinks out of habit, rather than from genuine need. I now wait for genuine thirst, and therefore i waste less time on unconscious and unproductive activity. Likely there was an element of addiction because black tea and coffee contained caffeine.
I think people who are still battling health problems should not go beyond a day with dry fasting. You can probably do what the Muslims do, but I would wait until youre more robust and healthy before going beyond a day.
Check out Dry Fasting Club if you haven't already
I am one of those ppl that swear by dry fasting I have done multiple dry fast longest was 7 days.... I do a soft dry fast still take showers, brush teeth, or wash hands. No food or water. Benefits of dry fast are amazing
Dear Doctor,
Requesting you to kindly make a video on Nutritional Yeast please. There's too much hype around it, and also, too much misinformation. It's completely confusing. Kindly do help Sir.
Thanks
One of best video smart information ever
Thank you @frankjackson6085. I appreciate your feedback. Also make sure you check out my video library. There are over 400 videos organized by topic and play list. 😄 ua-cam.com/channels/Ie2pR6PE0dae9BunJ38F7w.html
An excellent video which really sets things straight regarding the confusion on this topic.
Hello, any chance on a video about food allergies? I am struggling with them for my whole life. Currently on OMAD keto and they seem to get a bit better, but i would love some scientific info behind this. Thank you very much, really changed my view on eating.
I was exited to listen about the water retention of the body when high carb is consumed .
Thank you for your videos :)
You are welcome @user-ec9gr9ze4f. Thank you for watching. 😄
The way you explain is unmatched and logical. I watch your videos with great devotion. You made me aware of everything I never imagine. Thank you sir. ❤
Water. The universal solvent amazing.
Just after I posted this you said it. We learned this in health class and the next year in chemistry. I have never forgotten it. And I'll probably never stop commenting as I go along listening to you🤣🤣🤣.
Thank You @deadmanswife3625. Great minds think alike and are apparently amazed at the same facts. LOL. I appreciate you watching and interacting. 😀
I have been following you for some time and my health has improved greatly. I would like to hear your opinion about oxalates, are they really as harmful as described in other videos? Thank you.
Jazeker
Stan-I really enjoy your detailed dissertation of all these issues relevant to "Health Champions !" Thank you Sir !!!!
Dry fasting is the new term but truly it’s the only form of true fasting! It’s been around for generations and I do it and I’ve never had an issue 🤷🏽♀️
Not the only form of true fasting
Regular fasting with water also brings benefits to people and dry fasting is inherently more dangerous and needs to be done carefully if at all.
@@wendydomino Preparation is key for dry fasting. Alot of snake juice the day before fasting makes the fast easier. Avoiding exercise also important if aiming for 7 days. Other than that it's simply mind over matter
@@graguitar6493 Snake juice ?
@@MACTEP_CHOB it's the name given to a blend of electrolytes specifically designed for water fasting
I've never heard of anybody dry-fasting...but during covid I know I was doing it INvoluntarily and I lost 25 lbs in 10 days...most of it being the last 5 days
Yeah losing water weight.
@@Rihardololz actually that weight stayed off for a long time...I don't know what it was but I know I have never been the same since
Which one is better. Water or mineral water ?
Thank you Doctor Ekberg and Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Enough is very personal- but it does help to compare what others need ! thanks again !
Glad for this video because I was questioning this last week when my 89 year old tiny neighbor has no diabetes, heart problems etc. Before she fell last year, she was mowing. I saw the liter of water she drinks daily and no more and she is healthy. I was thinking she does not need more and her organs are all good because she won't strain them like that. Yet, we hear that we gotta drink a huge bottle of water daily. As am transitioning carnivore I am getting less and less thirsty too.
I finished a 6 day dry fast. It got really bad on day 5: the heart was beating with a force that shook my belly and the bed. The mouth was filled with slime. The tubes that connect the ears and the throat opened. Urinated two times a day the color of coffee, and had to flush it twice. I didn't feel an urge to drink except when seeing images of food, an hardly sweatted at all. Being under sunlight made me feel dizzy, still without sweat (and no need to take a shower). Did not come any close to fainting, but had a brief loss of vision after getting up from sleep.
Amazing how much water goes back in without coming out. I've regained food and water weight of 6 kg within one day, and urinated hardly more than during my fasting. At first I feared my kidneys had imploded.
I find strange how English speakers throw around the word "dehydrated" for mundane situations. They don't say "thirsty," in need of a drink after a trip outdoors. But speak as if they emerged from a science laboratory. Also words like hybernating, masticating, perspirating etc.
I confirmed that there is enough water reserve that we don't need to carry a tank with us on the road, and that it's not really important to refill the water slowly. I drank 1 kg of water within minutes and an additional 1 kg in the next hour. I seem to crave salt, but can't say if it's for the savory taste.
Once I tried drinking a totally obscene amount of water. It came out over the course of 8 hours.
7 day dry fast next? One you get used to dry fasting it gets alot alot easier. I done 5 7 day dry fasts and aim for twice a year in the cooler months. Some say dry fasting is bad, some say its the best thing for you. Me personally find I am stronger and healthier around 2 weeks after recovering after the dry fast. All my spots go and cravings go. I also appreciate the simple things in life. So for me dry fasting is the best.
I have dry fasted a few times in the past and the longest I’ve gone was about 7-8 days and it’s done wonders for me and is better than water fasting in my opinion, however I find that your pre fasting regimen plays a major role in your dry fasting journey. So if your diet was bad for weeks, months, even years with much sugar, refined and artificial sugars, processed foods etc it’ll be a bad experience overall. With that being said how you prepare and break your fast is what determines how it’ll be. Hopefully that wasn’t the case with you because dry fasting heals better than any other method ik even medicine. If you should decide to try again I hope that it works out the way it should, so you can see the positive progression! 👍🏽🤗💯
I have completed 7 days. I guess the often repeated claim of 3 days has been debunked.
But I did wash myself unlike some challengers I've seen online. The byproducts that come out are nasty. I have doubts that those celebrities didn't wash themselves. It could be realistic if only saltwater was available. I've spent 20-40 minutes under the sun each day. The increase in heat provoked thirst and discomfort in the chest. My body mass decreased by close to 1 kg per day, stabilizing today at 0.5 kg decrease for a 62 kg total when I stopped urinating. The end is near. I've also lost ability to sleep near the end. I think I'm prompted to be alert and seek a water source.
I'm going to binge drink soon from a spring water. I feel strength coming from nowhere to do that.
I have previously felt that drinking while fasting agitates my stomach for food, and I lose some microelements and feel weaker. I only have access to basic salt and ascorbic isolated.
August Dunning has a lot of videos about dry fasting. Says coming out of the fast is the most important part of the fast. You definitely want to get in water during the dry fast to help the lymphatic system flush out toxins. He highly suggest breaking a fat by drinking 8-12 oz of filtered water with 1/2-1 tsp of baking soda over 45-60 minutes and then a quart of coconut water over the next 2 hours and then tangy tangerine electrolyte mix with carbonated water( it braised the citric acid) then do an enema to flush the toxins out and have some bone broth. Eat soups, broths over the next couple days while adequately hydrating yourself and then incorporate regular foods around the 3-4th day after breaking the fast.
More than willing to learn anything from y’all and hopes this helps in the future
@@j7ndominica051dehydrated is not the same as thirsty. I can show signs of dehydration, I still dont feel thirsty. Even on a dry fast, i dont feel thirst!
Do dont worry about English use of various words! There are valid reasons... Most of the time. Maybe not with bureaucracy , but other things, yes, the bigger words can be necessary.
Also, congrats on the fasting. You must have a very strong mind! I am getting used to dry fasting, myself! Its so different to water fasting!!
May you and your loved ones have a a good holiday dr. E
Thank You @josemeraz5167. Same to you 😀
dr stan, are you familiar with _the phoenix protocol_ by august dunning?
it's a _soft_ dry fast, and though too challenging for most folks, some can benefit from a proper soft dry fast
Kan du rekommendera någon i Stockholmsområdet om man vill göra en utredning?

Thanks for your videos & your humour. Whole milk & your lack of cat cracked me up
Thank You @alltechinbox. Glad you enjoyed it. 😀
Great information! I'm prone to kidney stones, and my kidneys let me know--yes, they talk to me, lol--and if I'm not good to them, they let me know! Is distilled water better for we who are prone to kidney stones? I have it on hand but don't drink it exclusively. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg!
Came for the sarcasm. Left satisfied 😌
Thank You @martianambassador667. Glad to hear it. 😀
@@drekberg more sarcasm? 🤣
During Ramadan a person dry fast for 16 to 18 hours and have done for hundreds of years. Studies show this dry fasting can trigger autophagy
Dry fasting approach is based on the metabolic water concept, please deep dive on this please.
My mom had to be hospitalized because she stopped eating and drinking for a couple of days and had to get a saline injection treatment. She is really sad 😞 and depressed for a variety of unknown reasons and she is continuing to deteriorate rapidly. If she continues on this destructive path her body will give up 🆙 and she will be dead 💀. I really hope she starts eating and drinking normally again.
Praying for your Mom to regain her health and appetite for life Praveen. In Jesus name I pray, amen.
Learn first then do fasting
I did only 24h dry fast and my blood pressure went to 210/100, kidney pain, abdominal pain, I wonder if someone else is experiencing those symptoms.
Hello Dr Sten Ekberg wishing you and your family team a merry Christmas happy New Year 2023 . From Johannesburg South Africa 👍💕🇿🇦
I thought you might touch on dry fasting. I myself dry fasted for three days, many have done five, I’m not sure about more. And the theory that your body makes its own water from adipose tissue.
Excellent Informative Video, Thankyou!
This is invaluable, vital information and you've put the key considerations across so well here, viewers will come away both educated and capable of staying in tune with their own specific requirements, knowing how much and how often to drink to maintain proper hydration and also how to correctly react to important signalling from the body itself.
Your videos are always very informative, however; there are over 1.5 Billion people who follow Dry-Fasting in the month of Ramadan for either 29 or 30 days from 13 to 17 hours/day according to lunar Calendar, and they do not have problem. In fact, during Ramadan, digestive issues, cramps, Muscle pains, and several other problems go away. However, they drink enough water at both ends of Fast
They binge at night though. So i don't really count it. Consecutive dry fasting is different
13-17 hours is not dry fasting for three days. Two different things. When the day ends everyone goes to binge eat and drink a lot
Thank you 🙏, doctor you changed my life , now I aware to my body 🙏🙏🙏
How about a video on Blood Viscosity, please?
I dry fast at least four days a week. I replaced my intermittent fasting with it. I drink a bottle of water every night before bed usually about 9:30. The next morning I don’t eat or drink until 2pm. I have noticed my blood pressure no longer runs high and my doctor took me off my BP medicine. My indigestion no longer bothers me and my joints have stopped aching. I have not made any changes to my diet but I’ve always ate well and in moderation. I respect doctors and mine is even impressed with the results that I have seen but I’m also religious and the Bible instructs us to fast.
When an animal is not feeling well it instinctively does not eat or drink for longer periods of time. During Ramadan people of Muslim faith abstain from food and water from dawn to dusk for 30 days and studies have shown that their health improves during this time.
You do intermittent dry fasting 4 days a week then
It would have been interesting if you could have included the dangers of water toxicity ... drinking too much water too quickly and how it could end someone's life.
I was treated for a probable kidney stone….probably passed unnoticed b4 I went to er….but assumed . I was told to drink 63 oz water….i am 75…110#…5’
Ultimately I washed out my electrolytes…..I have never been more sick
( huge headache, dizzy, could not think, nausea, anxiety like crazy, ) ended up in er on electrolyte I V….it took a couple of weeks to recover fully. On advice of my now physician I have figured out how much water I feel the best on….turned out
about 35 oz is right for me….along with 1 five ounce carrot/ orange juice…a little
coffee and drink a little more if thirsty
* if your urine is constantly clear….over hydrated*
Caution:…..washing out your electrolytes is a nightmare….and dangerous
what is the best water to drink though? alkaline? distilled/pure water with nothing else? reverse osmosis?
What do you think about dry fasting that increases mitochondrial function?
Thank you very much Dr.Sten Ekberg.
Thank you for this very informative and educating video. . .
In Ramadan we can do dry fasting without any danger, review your studies and opinions
In Ramadan you eat at the end of the day and start of the day. He is talking about those that do a continuous dry fast for days. No water no food, day and night. Nothing at all.
@@Roxy-33 i see ,that will be harder
You are are a fountain of information about water thank you I am going to monitor my water consumption in my new food journal and keep track of the colours of my output in it as well. 🤔😄🍀🌟🍀🖖🖖🖖💖👍👍👍🍀🌟🍀👋🙋🏼♀️👋
Dr. Ekberg, you mention that drinking too much puts extra stress on other organs. Which ones and does this include the kidneys? Can you please expand your explanation. I am getting so many benefits from your videos too, thanks so much.
I've wanted to know the answer to this for some time and my doctors don't know. Like a lot of people I've slipped into the habit of having way too much water I believe and it affects your sleep and is simply a hassle having to go to the bathroom all the time. I've noticed when doing Keto and drinking electrolytes my body seems crave water much less. You would think it would be the opposite, but the electrolytes seemed to put the body in homeostasis to where you just don't need massive amounts of water if you've slipped into that habit.
At 1:13 it should be two hydrogen atoms, not molecules,
Very good information. My granddaughters said oh is that why you mostly give us water to drink?
Question:
If a person’s skin and hair is dry but is urinating regularly and clear, what can be the possible cause?
1001
An important topic in advance. I always watch your video. Thank you very much
Is it true that you should drink small amounts of water through out the day, and not guzzle large amounts at a time?
Yes, true. One should sip small amount of water in single go, like the way animals do. Gulping large amounts of water altogether is detrimental to our health.
Thank you Dr. Elbert, your videos are always informative. God bless you.
Dr. Eckberg, will a vitamin supplement break my fast, such as psyllium fiber, magnesium glycinate, etc.?
Oh oh I’m bad lol I dry fasted for 5 straight days and I lived to tell the tale lol I’m fine and when you dry fast it gets deep into the cells and cleanses out the garbage … I felt better once I came off after I did that best I ever felt … will continue to dry fast as it’s a tool you use if you know how to do it right ….just my opinion .do your research before doing it..
I absolutely agree with you. Did a 86 hours dry fast 3 weeks ago and I am still alive and kicking
Another excellent video, thank you Dr. Ekberg!
Does eating two spoons of chia seeds affect a fasting in the mornings? Is carbonated water good to drink while losing weight?
Thank you Dr. Ekberg, very nourishing content.
I love the information you provide. I've noticed on tiktok that dry fasting has been a trendy to do. how do they survive?
I don’t think of it as ˋliving healthyˋ anymore, I think of it as protecting this miracle of nature…the human body 😊
Thank You @allfunnydogsstories2129. That's beautiful. I love it. 😀
How little is too little water? Your body lets you kniw when to eliminate urine, you don't chose the concentration level by drinking more. Your body will not signal you to urine until it decides.
@@terrafirma9328 Sorry to inform you that you have confused urinary urgency with thirsty. The former governed by bladder fullness and the latter by chemoreceptors and thirst centre.
@@drekberg Very nice job done. Just add a few points though.
When water evaporates it cools the temperature a lot through latent heat. Camel and other desert animals generate metabolic water as well. Water is a universal solvent because of several factors: small size, being dipolar, ionizable etc. Thirsty is triggered by hyperosmolarity as well as low blood pressure (chemoreceptors and baroreceptors).
@@drekberg Is there any truth to "Dry Fasting" benefits and some sort of "special autophagy" that Dr. Mindy Pelz is pushing all over UA-cam?
It seems quite contrary to your study on it and puts mixed messages out there.
I drink about 4 bottles of water per day. 💯
You may need to do more research especially in Russia studies there’s huge benefits to dry fasting meaning going a period of time without food or water, currently completed 25th it’s in my 72hour dry fast and am feeling amazing so you may need to dig deeper
I'm at 24 hours. I've done 60 hours dry fasting before. How far did you get?
❤ great topic
Thank You @nuttakit_lueng.😀
