A 3-Day 80-Hour Water Fast: After 66 Hours
Well, today felt much better, with more energy and a clearer mind. The brain-fog and lethargy of day 2 has gone. This is as expected from the literature and experiences of many fasters. I haven't done any blood tests so will have to rely on how I feel.
I am on the evening of day 3 and, as planned, will break the fast tomorrow morning. I shall see if anything interesting happens and will post any post-fasting reactions.
As a departure from medical talks and research papers, here are a couple of videos with different perspectives on fasting. Indeed, they are not about fasting at all, but about the broader issues of aging, health and enlightenment.

Worth answering the three questions given near the end.
And here are links to some longer videos directly related to fasting.

The person I am raising money for, John St.Julien has been saving his life with fasting. He has done 40 days with only water twice. This last time was to rid himself of the Babesia parasite and Lyme. which the fasting did not get rid of totally. It's quite the story. He fast for health.
40 days with only water is brutal! No minerals or the vitamins we can't produce? So the theory that the body flushes out blood cells (and with them the parasites), to then replenish them once feeding restarts worked?
I haven't really listened to all that he has to say about fasting. I know he always does it for illness but also for getting answers from God at times when needed. He has built an amazing little village from nothing for children and dogs in need.
