Hey,
i have one kidney since birth. Should I avoid dryfasting?
Very difficult to say. Find a doctor specialized in fasting (probably water fasting) and he might be able to help. You can also try to contact Dr. Filonovs clinic in Russia. He is the only one that I think might have clinical experience with that sort of thing.
Do you have any way to monitor the side effects of having only one kidney? Because if you do then you could use that and figure it out on your own.
Honestly, with out adequate medical supervision, like a professional who is experienced with dry fasting as well as people with low functioning or one functioning kidney. I wouldn’t do it. You can always do alternate day fasting. And then work your way up to water fasting. Make sure you’re getting the proper supplements and electrolytes especially since you only have one working kidney. Try fasting more than one day maybe too taxing on your body.
If you can contact one of them, and I dont think you can, then the RUS special forces fellows use dry fasting in training and as a healing tool. They famously just eat salt instead of drinking water when training.
They’ve done so for such a long time so I would not be surprised if a veteran or two knows someone who lost their kidney. So they could have some experience to share. But its a long shot.
Fuck no. It’s congenitally absent and ones plenty. Ease into it and carefully out of it. Just use it as a medicinal fast and don’t get all fruity and do anything stupid like a 10 day dry fast to cure an ingrowing toenail. 3 days then water and bicarb for two 👌 fix you right up.
