I've been doing some research on this, and it seems as if dry fasting is the real deal. It seems to be much more natural than water fasting, and is what animals actually do in the wild. It seems as if Water Fasting is to dry fasting as juice fasting is to water fasting.
It's supposed to be a much more efficient/stronger detox. Apparently one day of dry fasting is equal to 3 days of water fasting. This means that dry fasting for a few days only can accomplish what a 10 day Water Fast would.
I'm on day 2 of a dry fast, and it's definitely intense. Does anyone have any experience with this? also what opinions do some of the more experienced people here have on it?

I have no experience, and it always sounded radical to me.
day two, eh? have you been thirsty? seems like a stupid question really, but maybe not. what's the weather like?
It's very hot here . Does this mean no bathing?
I have a sense it's is something you'd want to be prepared for -- ie. not jumping in, from eating badly, or drinking anything that puts you in arrears, liquid-wise.

MoreThis is a reply to # 1,475,949I was thirsty at the beginning, but not anymore. Kind of like how you're hungry for the first few days of a water fast, but than it stops.
And yeah the weather has been extremely hot here, so i've really been taking it easy.
Yeah no bathing or coming in contact with water in any way. - Re: Dry fasting VeryGnawty

"Does this mean no bathing?"
Traditionally, yes. Since the skin also absorbs particles from the environment, bathing would nullify a "true" dry fast.
But like any health practice, extremism usually gets you into more trouble than cures. Avoiding baths is not a significantly usefull method to achieve health.

This is a reply to # 1,475,935Indeed, Fonty was a huge fan of dry-fasting but he did post some warnings: dry-fasting is the most difficult and powerful detoxification possible.
It is not for the beginner/novice fasters.
Anyone attempting to do a dry fast needs to prepare for a few days on juice, then water-fasting for at least one day to be fully effective.
A novice dry faster may be lured/tempted by the promise of detoxification, spiritual enlightenment and a longer and healthier life, but dry fasting is something that is very risky and could lead to permanent damage, or even death, for the ignorant and inexperienced.
Dry-fasting can even be fatal for people who have certain illnesses or body conditions, like diabetes or heart-ailments.
Basically, dry fasting is abstaining from all food/fluids AND water for a set period of time, and usually for not less than 3 days.
It is the most rigorous and trying type of fasting there is, as it places the greatest stress on your body to absorb whatever nutrients and moisture it can from your body.
However, it is claimed to be the most efficient method for the body to purge/cleanse its accumulated waste/toxins.
For newcomers to dry fasting, the effects can be crippling: severe weight loss, hunger, thirst, fatigue, dizziness and an overall sense of weakness: these are just some effects that the novice dry faster will experience. However, for those of us who are experienced with fasting, our bodies do not suffer these typical symptoms. Instead, we feel a sense of heightened well-being and spirituality that comes about by the body purging its already much-reduced state of toxemia.
There is also the very real risk of dehydration for the inexperienced faster if set for too long a time period and who does not recognize a genuine demand for water.
It is also well-established that the demand and need for water on a water-only fast is minimal, and as long as the faster drinks water-only according to "genuine thirst", the outcome is virtually the same.
"Fasting animals take but little water and some of them none at all. For example, the Alaskan fur-seal bull takes no water throughout the whole of his four or five months fast. Hibernating and estivating animals do not drink water during their period of dormancy. It is the rule that sick animals (this is especially true of the acutely sick and seriously wounded animals) will not drink much water. I have repeatedly seen sick animals take no water at all for days at a time, or take but a few sips once or twice a day. For the most part, they refuse to drink large amounts of water".
SHELTON.
WATER DRINKING DURING THE FAST..............
"Thirst is seldom great during a fast. I have watched fasters go for two and three days at a time and take no water, simply because there was no demand for water, and they have not suffered as a consequence. Others take but little water; sometimes not more than half a glass a day"..................
"Prof. Carlson says that "an adult man fasting can live fifteen to twenty days without water. If food is taken, death from water deprivation comes quicker. If there is body fever or great external heat leading to sweating, death from water deprivation is hastened. Foods require water for elimination of waste products."

This is a reply to # 1,476,181Yes Chiron, although I first learnt of this way of fasting by Fonty, who is sadly no longer posting.
I did 7 days soon after Fonty mentioned it to me and where the detox effects were slightly more severe than I expected as I am relatively toxemic-free because of my Hygienic lifestyle.

Chrisb1 in the dry fast post you said"because of my Hygienic lifestyle." What lifestyle is this?
A regular fasting program? or maybe you fast more often than you eat perhaps?
Do you mind explaining the hygenic lifestyle?
Because I personally believe FOOD is the cause of
all ailments in the body from eating the wrong things to
eating too much alltogether.
Ive thought about only eating once a day and ONLY eating
later in the day when I really really feel hungry unlike I do in the mornings. I usually dont get to hungry at all until Ive worked most of the day.
Many people eat just for something to do and I am one of them but recently ive been working on waiting till later in the day when I really feel it in my higher part of my stomach like it knots up sorta from the growls in the stomach.
Then I will eat and only eat something mono which is better for the digestion to eat only one thing at a time till full.
For me food is an addiction and I feel it has a grip on me like smoking did.
I finally quit smoking over 3 years ago and wont look back.
but food to me is seemingly my new addiction.
Sorry for the long post but to summerize what is a good hygenic program to regularly do permanantly?
I read Paul Braggs Miracle of fasting about 3 times and I love that book.He mentions some programs in there.

This is a reply to # 1,476,285Hello #88028,
The link provided by VeryGnawty in this thread.........
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthopathy
.............provides a fairly basic and accurate summary of a Hygienic lifestyle/method of health maintenance/recovery, but the criticism listed at the bottom of the page is totally wrong.........
"Criticism of Natural Hygiene sustains that NH is dangerous because it encourages prolonged fasting and discourages proven medical interventions. While its recommended diet has two admirable characteristics (low fat content and high fiber content), its recommended avoidance of dairy products is an invitation to osteoporosis. No scientific study has ever compared the disease and death rates of Hygienists with those of other people."
Prolonged Fasting is NOT dangerous, and the diet does not promote osteoporosis in the avoidance of dairy products. This is complete nonsense.
Hygiene (Orthopathy) is more accurately described this way..............
"Natural Hygiene Science "cures" sick people by removing the cause of disease. It removes the disease by removing the necessity for it. It believes Nature is right, and hence does not seek to thwart her operations. It declares that disease is a natural process of purification, and should not be stopped, but aided. Its remedies are Natures health preservatives . Obedience to Nature is its greatest panacea. Air, light, natural food, water, exercise, rest, sleep etc., in such manner and degree as Nature can use are its curatives. Remove the Cause and, and the effect will cease. This is Natural Hygiene Science."................
Dr Robert Walter MD.
So essentially, Hygiene is a "way of life" that uses Natures own elements in the prevention and recovery from disease by living according to the laws of a physiological existence.
In this way you will never EVER become ill or suffer from any disease. It also provides an abundance of energy and a "joie de vivre" for living that is unequaled compared to any other way of living or healing modality.
I recovered from Leukemia over 30 years ago and have not had a days illness since that time (except when I abandoned my principles for a short time) approx' 15 years ago.
You are best to read this if so inclined...........
http://naturalhygienesociety.org/present.html
Professionally qualified Hygienists are the most experienced Fasting supervisors, and have provided an abundance of literature on the subject, but I must emphasize that fasting is only PART of a way of life in achieving superior health, and is not the "be-all-and-end- all" that so many people believe it to be.
Fasting is only a catalyst in allowing the body to self-heal and self-cleanse itself. Fasting by itself does not actually cure anything at all, and where the most common message given out by Hygienists is that the fast is in vain unless a permanent and Hygienic lifestyle is adopted thereafter.
Food can be an addiction just as anything else can be, and I am pleased to hear that you have finally quit smoking.
The onset of hunger usually occurs AFTER the "burning" of calories, which the body signals need replacing such as after physical activity, so where then is the commonsense in eating a "hearty breakfast" after a full night of restful sleep?
If people are honest with themselves they do not really feel hungry until the late morning/lunchtime.
A one meal per day plan is fine..........but so is a two meal per day plan, just so long as you eat only when hungry, and where this will depend entirely on your sedentary lifestyle or heavy physical labour lifestyle and how many calories need replacing, but it is vital that a nutrient-dense high water content diet is followed. Food and nutrition are not necessarily synonymous or interchangeable terms.
Fasting has a habit of re-educating your relationship with food, and has been known to eradicate addictions to food.
Paul Braggs book "The Miracle of Fasting" is a classic, so good choice; you will learn a lot from it.
The very best program for adopting this way of life is to purchase the two volume edition of "FIT FOR LIFE" by Harvey & Marilyn Diamond. They are very cheap to purchase, and contain a wealth of invaluable information.
Take care.
Chrisb1.

This is a reply to # 1,475,977Hello Chris and others :)
Ok, here I am again... I am about to approach 6 day just being on water (my day 6 will be completed in a few hours). I am doing it mainly for my Sugar addiction wich I will beat anyway (I always knew this) and for detox as well.
I have already done 7 and 10 dayers just being on water. I did not prepare myself for 7 day Water Fast at all. My last meal was sweets and some junk. The results? I was extreemely hungry for 5 days in total (was so ready to give up). My 10 dayer I prepared just for one day and was not hungry at all. Was very easy.. This time I prepared myself properly. I was eating at least for a week raw vegies, nuts, fruits, raw organic juices (all also in right combos). So when I started my fast I was not hungry at all. I am hoping to go for 7 max 10 days this time.
I have a question though. I tried dry fasting couple of times. The longerst for me was 36 hours (when I was Water Fasting 7 days). This fast I tried it too. The max amount of hh I got was 14-18. Then I felt thirst. So I drank water. For the couple of days or so I drank water only if I really needed to. But for the past 3 days my mouth and troat were quite dry so I am drinking more water. Can it mean that i cant do dry Water Fasting even for 24-36 hh if I feel that dryness?? May be my body needs more water after 3 days?? Or may be I need to ignore it and go for 24 anyway? I guess logical sense could be drink one glass of water every 12 hours. I just hope to take advantage of those 10 days or so and help my body.
I rest a lot (not like my last 10 dayer when I worked physically a lot) and I went to sauna ones (it was good and felt not that weak that day).
I am not going to post on a daily basis as I did my first 10 dayer. Well, everything is pretty the same (quite sore throuat on day 5, kinda red masses stared to appear on my body.. weakness... I feel like 'boiled chicken' now :D :)..
Anyway, this fast I will devote to myself and will not share with others. I will do 7 days for sure. And then all I need it to make a little effort to go for 10 days. I will make it. I just know it... I LOVED too much the results when I finish my 10 dayer. I want to look and feel like that AGAIN! :))
Please be well, guys. :)

i remember your last fast ;)
i'm not so sure about dry fasting - i haven't tried it and i'm not sure that i ever would, since i have enough problems with weakness and fatigue when i water fast. what i would say is this though: drink according to thirst. on my last 14-day fast (which was about 9-days ago now) i was much more thirsty than i had been on previous fasts. some days, i found myself drinking more than a litre of water, in small sips throughout the day. on other fasts, i sometimes barely drank a glass of water in a day.
i believe that your own body is your best guide. if you're thirsty, drink - and if you're not, don't ;)
good luck on the rest of your fast

This is a reply to # 1,477,564Hey, L*u*l*u* and Rainy Day!
Thanks, L*u*l*u* for remembering my previous fast:).. Yeah, I was hanging here quite a lot and all of u are dear to me coz we know each other, even by our id's, for quite a long time.. Rainy Day, answering ur question about my ED (ot whatever it can be called), for the past couple of months I quite managed it. I am not gonna lie and say everything is perfect and managed on 100% but i am on the way to it. I can see that. As I have mentioned earlier I prepared myself for this short fast by eating everything very healthy and mainly organic (we have our own garden). And b4 I was eating not that bad. If I had ED in the stage I had I would not have managed it. I am on the way to it, I can sense it.
I do not really like fasting. I do not see it as a way of my life (I have already mentioned that some time back). Fo me it will be enough to fast 24 h a week (sometimes on water and sometimes on juices)just to give my body a wee bit of rest. So I do not think I will be here on this forum often if any. To support others - yes, but not more than that. All I want is to take care of my pressious body, That's all:).. As I have already mentioned, one day I was on right combining of food and fased 24 h a week for 2 and a half months. And I got the results (conditions of my skin, the brighteness of my eyes and just overall) much much better than even doing my 10 dayers! I do think there is no point to fast all the time (but 24 -36 hh a week) and do not give ur body kinda shock. Just eat healthily and preferably combine ur food correctly. That is all it requires:)... If u have some condition (I have condida) or too toxing or overweight) then a fast could be good for u just to 'reset' ur body clock and make it function better by eating healthily after fast. It is ok for me. Or if u have a flue (or something worse) or some infection then a Water Fast will be of great help. But if a person fast and then pig out on junk and then fast again then I do not think fast will bring him/her any advantage. My opinion.
As for dry fasting, L*u*l*u*, yes it all make sense, dear. From the very beginning of my present fast I did not feel much thirst but after day 3-4 my body requires more water. It seem like my throut is alway dry even if I drink water. Perhaps I need to forget about dry fast and listen to my body. Do I have other choice other than that? Nope. :)
I am about to finish my day 7. :).. Still feel like 'boiled chicken'! On the streets I walk quite slowly and the expression of my face is kinds frozen. Haha. I did not faint or something like that but feel weakness but not strong one. Ok, anyhoo, just 3 and something days to go and it is me! Always wanted to go for 14 days but 10 days is not bad too. A lot of organic vegies and friuits (from our garden are waiting for me. I bought oranges and some grape already! Getting ready to finish my fast :D... Do not feel hungry at all.... Looking forward to end my fast next Thu! :)))

This is a reply to # 1,477,585Hi Nadia,
Your post was excellent. I totally agree with you. As you may recall I was diagnosed with ED only by this forum and not the medical professionals some time ago. Even if the forum was right and I do have it, I knew I was getting bad advice by people on the forum trying to make me think that I should not fast. I was getting too many benefits from fasting and I hear my God asking me to fast. Having said that I realize that, it was probably my fault as I think I gave the forum the wrong impression of me when I joined the forum. I had just broken a short fast with binge eating. I think people thought that was something I do after every fast and on a regular basis. Having read many fasting stories I find that this has happened to many others. When this happens I don't believe we should give up but rather learn from the mistake and go forward with what is right. I was very miserable the day I joined this forum because of the binge. I was so upset with myself that I called myself a glutton to the highest degree. Now that I have had a chance to think it thru I figure what else could I expect when I introduced myself like that? I have not broken a fast with binge eating like that since. I pray that I will not ever forget the misery of it. In spite of the fight I have benefited from reading the forum. The main person who fought me actually helped me quite a bit by posting some excellent nutritional posts for eating in between fasts. That was an amazing turn around so you just never know what the outcome of a thing will be. I am so happy for you.

you have both proved that fasting effectively can truly be healing and can provide the necessary motivation to balance eating habits and become more nutritionally aware. mouseclick is another fine example of this. and breaking the fast correctly is waaaay harder than fasting itself...

"i found the whole online diagnoses of EDs craze on this forum a while back to be hugely divisive and not especially productive."
I totally agree with you. It turned this forum into a psychiatric ward/forum for a while there. The forum has never been the same for me since. I read it for some time before I even joined. Maybe some day it will return to its former glory. People who needed to fast and were looking for fasting support were being told not to fast. It was insane.

This is a reply to # 1,478,367i'm with you rainy ;)
i had anorexia nervosa when i was in my teens and confrontation was the very least effective approach (just ask my mum). of course, i was a bratty rebellious teenager so i was especially volatile ;)
but i've come to believe that most eating disorders are manifestations of childlike behaviour patterns anyway, so i think responses to confrontations will be met inevitably with anger and denial. the only way you get better from eating disorders is with self-realisation, support and hard work.
that said, i rarely respond to posts here about fasting for weight loss - since it is something i don't have personal experience with, and i don't generally support. fasting can be an amazing tool for healing, it's not a toy that you play with for a few days.
there are lots of people here who want to learn about fasting and good nutrition, irrespective of their health condition or eating disorder or whatever. this forum helped me so much when i really needed it - and it's great to know that it has helped you too

This is a reply to # 1,477,848Hi Rainy :)
Ok, where to start here..
I just want to make a wee confession and explain why I think this way now. I now agree with Anya that nobody has the right to diagnose someone with something. Here most of us do not have medical education to do so. Well, after watching one good video recently I can surely say even doctors can’t diagnose people with mental illnesses, for instance. It is a bit irrelevant here but it is about putting labels on people. The video is provided below.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P6_FwpVo_s
When someone does so and the person persuades themselves then he/she starts believing in it and it could actually happens. It is quite dangerous practice so better not to go into it. Look, I am SORRY, perhaps I was one of those who made u think u have that ED. Rainy, FORGET it. No need to put labels on anyone and on urself. It is not right.... I will explain u and others the way I think now. There are two categories of ppl who can eat on time, do not overeat, do not eat at night. Other ones do another way round. Perhaps it is called the way I have called that before but surely it is something to work on. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE. I do NOT think fasting could cure this problem though. Fonty (Andrew) has been fasting for very long time (YES he got many health benefits from it) but it DID NOT cured his issue with overeating. I had a talk with him some time back. Steve (Mouseclick), he never had that issue so for him it was easy to return to his normal ways of eating after his fasts were over. Fasting CAN’T cure overeating. It either can leave it on the same level or worsen it. Plus as soon as u finish ur fast (even a short one) with binging – it will be just extra shock for ur entire body. Do u really need it? What fast for?? I do not think ur God wants u to fast if u struggle that much with (occasional) binging afterwards. I think u just trying to persuade urself in it.
Yes, u were absolutely right, Rainy, we do not have just successful stories here. But everyone wants to hear the successful one. Right?... Forget about what ppl here could think of u. It doesn’t matter. The main thing WHAT U THINK OF URSELF. Though take into consideration advices/support of people who really wish u the best, who care about u and on ur side. Coz sometimes we do not believe in ourselves and here what our friends for :))...
Yes, I understand ur point of not willing to give up. But sometimes it is the best way, a WISE way.:) It is not giving up, it is re-thinking ur ways ‘how to get there’. The ways, which give u less stress and more happiness, u could enjoy life much more simply by not fasting but rather eating healthily, fast/not fast 24 h a week, exercise in moderation. WHY do u consider fasing as the best way to solve all ur perhaps ‘imagined’ problems? Are u struggling with weight? May be candida? What is the reason?? Are u ana/ mia? Plz share (or send me email). I would love to help u. :) Just do not be afraid to speak out. Otherwise HOW we can look deep inside, into the core of what bothers u. Do not afraid of others. Many of them have also something to sort out, I am quite sure.
I just beg u, stop ur fasting efforts at least for some time. Lets talk first and the rest is up to u, dear :)

This is a reply to # 1,475,935Hello. I am on day three of a dry fast having water fasted five days prior. My hope was to cease menstruation, but it only intensified. It is seems to be less today, almost black in color compared to the bright red days ago. I have been told my breath is is beyond bad, which is to be expected. Unlike yourself, I have been bathing. I would surely be put out if both my breath and my body were offensive! I'm thinking the sensation of thirst is somewhat like that of hunger, the body demanding relief. Other than some cramps in my feet and a wicked nightmare, the process has been fine. It's surprising to continue to urinate, as I take in no water. Another surprise was a bowel movement, as I seldom have those beyond day one or two. Elizabeth

"Does anyone have any experience with this?"
I much prefer dry fasting because it opens my mind to the spirit. That said, there are a few things to watch out for:
1) Thirst/Hunger:
If you feel like you're pushing your limits, you probably are.
2) Pain/Weakness:
Will probably be more problematic than water fasting.
3) Lightheadedness and related problems:
Will almost always be more acute than water fasting.
4) BREAKING THE FAST (<- emphasis):
Will take much skill and consideration.
To me, dry fasting seems to be much more effective than water fasting. But at the same time, it is much more difficult to accomplish. The mental benefits are astronomical: IFF you can keep control of your mind. Dry fasting does wonders for the brain. But if not controlled, people can hallucinate or lose consciousness. One time while meditating I started hearing sounds coming from the other room when nobody was there. During another intense dry fast I suffered a very scary case of sleep paralysis.
Another thing to watch out for with dry fasting, is being on the verge of death. Depending upon the physical conditions of the body and the toxins within it, it can be difficult to "keep the spirit in the body" (I don't have a better term for this phenomenon). If you feel like you are rising "above the body" or you sense that you are no longer feeling the sensations of the body (like you are in a dream) or you lose coordination of the muscles accompanied with feeling very "light" then any of these symptoms probably mean you are on the verge of losing consciousness that you might not regain, resulting in death. If you have any of these symptoms, DON'T fall asleep. Stay awake until you can drink or eat something. You are pobably dehydrated, and if you fall asleep it may be difficult to regain consciousness. - Re: Dry fasting gettingbetter1234

This is a reply to # 1,475,935I've done it before. Not on purpose. I was just too lazy to drink water during my two fast. And I noticed water runs right through me. But it does that on Water Fasts too.

This is a reply to # 1,475,935And I didn't go without bathing/showering during the dry fast. Sounds gross to me.
