Hi Pamela, sadly there is not a billion drug at the end of a study of dry fasting let alone fasting in general. Consequently little if any money will be allocated for such a study. I do not know of any studies on dry fasting other than n of 1's. It's probably analogous to an apprenticeship VS going to university to gain credentials. From mine experience there are a few important points to consider: 1. Fasting and especially dry fasting is a time of healing, so no strenuous work. Rest is best; 2. I find 24 hour water fast first clears the bowl and make everything more comfortable; 3. A little very light exercise tells the body the muscles stay; 4. Your body will make metabolic water (just like whales) as your body breaks down damaged cells, misfolded proteins, damaged organelles, and unwanted junk, like cancer cells, amaloid plaques, and even the spilled blood infiltrating healthy tissue. (think of bruises clearing)
I'm not asking for a pharma study. Reducing water intake when you want to increase blood flow and assist with breaking down and movement of debris goes against everything I have learned.
The body makes metabolic water. If you do not eat food, the requirement/need for water is amazingly low within a range of tolerances. From A general MD perspective, just missing one out of three meals or intermittent fasting (18/6 or 20/4) in a day is starvation - embarrassingly clueless. Look up the work of George Cahill.
Please share some valid research showing dry fasting is safe and beneficial.
