Re: Dry Fasting and the Brain

hi, interesting post.
How old were you when you started dry fasting? and how long would you fast for?

The brain, like the liver, doesn't contain any pain nerve endings, so if your brain, or liver, was healing during a fast you would'nt actually be able to feel any of the usual pains when the immune system attacks some cells to break them down. However during my dry fasts I have felt a fizzing sensation in first my liver and then on subsequent fasts in my brain(to a lesser extent), so I am 100% convinced there was something going on in my liver(makes sense) and then my brain. I have put it down to healing activity and possibly the immune system dissolving damaged cells in those organs so they can be grown back with new tissue, the same as with the other organs where I have felt pain.

The fizzing feeling occurred a fair way into my dry fasts when i would have expected some very deep healing.

I have never really experienced a brain fog when fasting, I usually feel better and my brain has more clarity, but then further into the fast I will start to feel tired and weak and just want to spend the time in bed.

could you explain what the fog feels like?
