Kidneys on dry fast

So I have heard dry fasting is dangerous for kidney health. I also heard it gives kidneys a rest. Snake diet guy is suggesting to break a dry fast with baking soda to help kidneys. I am not sure what info is correct. Or what to watch out for.

Answer

There’s a study of 5 day dry fasts having increased creatinine clearance which is an indicator of kidney health. Plus the Phoenix Protocol shows pics of the ‘slag’ that collects in samples. Might just be calcium oxalates explaining why some people get more burning at first compared to others.

Answer

I do fasted some years ago for 4 days after a fair bit of water fasting experience. broke my fast with water then after 3 hours of sipping I ate a pizza of all things. Something I wouldn’t eat after even a water fast. After that my kidneys would have a sharp pain every time I “pushed” when having a dump for a month after. Other than that I was fine. It still has put me off dry fasting for more than 36 hrs tho. Possibly reading here since, baking soda is the answer (as well as food without refined flour) in order to get back to 3-4 day dry fasts.
