I’m looking to get my 70 year old mother(spinal problems, slightly on the spectrum for BPD, IBS, arthritis) and 65 year old father(GERD, Gout, arthritis, addiction) to overcome a number of health issues, but neither of them have the strength or willpower to do a longer dry fast and think it impossible to go >3 days despite seeing me do it.
I heard that filinov spoke to a 36 hour dry fast once a week for a year to have similar effects as the 11 day dry fast, is that true?
I feel like I could get them to fast 1 whole day + the nights before and after as they both used to water fast like that for ash Wednesday and Good Friday back in the 60s when it was still a requirement for Lent.
I am also very interested in this! I find it very hard to believe that compounding vs doing it straight should make that much of a difference? It must also be very individual in terms of having a skinny person and an obese one, in terms of having the body get to work on healing stuff.
