22/2, 44/4, 66/6, 88/8: INTERMITTENT DRY FASTING WITH SUPERTONIC SCIENCE BASED ANTI-AGING HERBS FOR SUPREME HEALTH AND LONGEVITY DRY FASTING: THE ULTIMATE PATH TO LONGEVITY —A TRUE LIFE OR DEATH SCENARIO On extended dry fasts the first few days are the roughest as the body is still optimistically holding out for food or water but once it figures out that water and food are not coming and that death is imminent if it doesn't adapt and fast to given circumstance it switches gears into survival mode— this highly adapted state IS the magical key of dry fasting. Survival of the fittest. All weakness is eradicated. The option of supporting the diseased and parasitic is no longer viable. All non essentials are eliminated and recycled to sustain the essentials. This IS cellular renewal at the deepest level— unattainable by any other means. A 5 DAY DRY FAST SCIENTIFIC STUDY: "Background: Although there is considerable research in the field of fasting and fluid restriction, little is known about the impact of food and water deprivation (FWD) on body circumferences and vital parameters. Methods: During 5 days of FWD in 10 healthy adults, hemodynamic, metabolic, and renal parameters, such as weight, 5 circumferences at neck, waist, hip, chest at axilla, chest at nipples, and 1 new oblique hip circumference were measured daily. For each circumference, new quotients of daily circumference-to-weight decrease were calculated. The set of employed parameters quantified and monitored dieting persons' compliance and efficacy of the method. Results: The values of blood pressure, heart rate, hemoglobin oxygen saturation, glucose, K+, Na+, Cl-, urea, creatinine, and serum osmolality proved to be stable. The mean creatinine clearance increased up to 167%. The mean daily weight decrease (1,390 ± 60 g) demonstrated the effectiveness of FWD in weight reduction. The daily decrease of all measured circumferences and the values of the corresponding circumference-to-weight decrease quotients reflected considerable volume decrease in all measured body parts per day and kg of weight loss during FWD. Conclusion: The intervention of 5 FWD days in 10 healthy adults was found to be safe, decreased weight and all measured circumferences, and improved renal function considerably." http://www.karger.com/Article/Abstract/357718 While indeed longer duration dry fasts, 3 to 7 days and beyond, are best utilized to bring an ill or obese person back into balance—once homeostasis is restored daily dry (or zero calorie fluid restricted) fasting is the most effective disease preventive measure one can employ in maintaining optimal health and delaying aging. WANT TO LOSE 30lbs IN 5 DAYS? 10,000 Scientific Studies on Fasting, Calorie Restriction & Extending Life Span (CLICK HERE) IMPORTANT: The exact reason why fluid is TEMPORARILY restricted will be explained in depth below; ***the goal is NOT chronic dehydration***as that would obviously have negative consequences; downregulation of Klotho being one. WHAT IS KLOTHO? Klotho, a transmembrane protein, protease, and hormone mainly expressed in renal tissue counteracts aging. Overexpression of Klotho substantially prolongs the life span. Klotho deficiency leads to excessive formation of 1,25(OH)2D3, growth deficit, accelerated aging,
Because there is a lot to cover to understand dry fasting its VERY IMPORTANT to read and reread the dry fasting section several times above to tie it all together. What's AUTOPHAGY? Why is it important? What's AMPK activation? Why is it important? What does mTOR inhibition have to do with longevity? What does mTOR stand for? What makes calorie restriction effective in promoting longevity? Why no water? How long does it take generally to enter ketosis on a dry fast and why is it superior to water fasting? What's the point of baking soda water? How do I avoid kidney stones? Why is excess insulin bad? Why is sugar bad and why does it lead to rapid aging? How might dry fasting enable one to overcome addictions? How does dry fasting promote high insulin sensitivity and why is that good? Why is juice fasting a waste of money and time? What's a ketogenic diet and why might that be important? What are ketones? What are ketostix? Why is ketosis important? What are lysosomes? How does the process called autophagy work? How is autophagy triggered? How long does it take to reach full tilt ketosis generally? How should I break my dry fast? What are glucose disposal agents and why might they be important? How do I start dry fasting? How many days should I fast? How do the blends compliment dry fasting? All this covered in the previous dry fasting blog posts. JOIN OUR FACEBOOK DRY FASTING GROUP: HERE

So what's left? Fat. What else is associated with that? Fasting—which leads to ketosis which leads to mTOR inhibition, AMPK activation, autophagy as well as p53, sirt1, foxo and a whole bunch of other anti cancer stuff. I would basically dry fast and hold deep level ketosis (160) along with KETOGENIC diet until I killed it.
FASTING RELEASES HUMAN GROWTH HORMONE "HGH secretion was assessed in 7 men during a control period and during starvation. Plasma samples were collected hourly for 24 hr in each period. Starvation for 72 hr increased growth hormone secretion in each individual. Overall, fasting resulted in a 2½ to 3-fold increase of growth hormone secretion. Secretion of hGH was greater in premenopausal women than in men during a control period, but no significant increase of hGH secretion occurred in women after 72 hr of fasting." SOURCE: HERE TRUE KETOSIS VS FAKE KETOSIS True ketosis comes from starvation (fasting) or severe carbohydrate restriction. There are no high glucose levels under these conditions. The ketones come from the actual break down of body fat. False ketosis is the result of coconut oil or mct oil. These provide ketones while being able to eat massive amounts of carbohydrates. The ketones are NOT coming from body fat but the coconut or mct oil. Yes ketostix will say you are in ketosis but you are really in fake ketosis. You want TRUE not fake ketosis. Avoid coconut or mct oil until you are in TRUE ketosis and maintain less than 30g carbs a day. IF you are at optimal weight and not trying to lose fat then yes coconut or mct oil and low glycemic load carbohydrates is not a problem. *For someone on a KETOGENIC diet for epileptic purposes this gives them the advantage of more carbs. For someone trying to lose fat this is a disadvantage because your body will use the coconut oil ketones over body fat ketones for energy.

Ketones are the ideal fuel for our bodies unlike glucose – which is damaging, less stable, more excitatory and in fact shortens your life span. Ketones are non-glycating, which is to say, they don’t have a caramelizing ageing effect on your body. A healthy ketosis also helps starve cancer cells as they are unable to use ketones for fuel, relying on glucose alone for their growth. The energy producing factories of our cells – the mitochondria – work much better on a ketogenic diet as they are able to increase energy levels in a stable, long-burning, efficient, and steady way. Not only that, a ketogenic diet induces epigenetic changes which increases the energetic output of our mitochondria, reduces the production of damaging free radicals, and favours the production of GABA – a major inhibitory brain chemical. GABA has an essential relaxing influence and its favored production by ketosis also reduces the toxic effects of excitatory pathways in our brains. Furthermore, recent data suggests that ketosis alleviates pain in addition to having an overall anti-inflammatory effect. [7] The ketogenic diet acts on multiple levels at once, something that no drug has been able to mimic. This is because mitochondria are specifically designed to use fat for energy. When our mitochondria use fat as an energetic source, its toxic load is decreased, the expression of energy producing genes are increased, its energetic output is increased, and the load of inflammatory energetic-end-products is decreased. The key of these miraculous healing effects relies on the fact that fat metabolism and its generation of ketone bodies (beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate) by the liver can only occur within the mitochondrion, leaving chemicals within the cell but outside the mitochondria readily available to stimulate powerful anti-inflammatory antioxidants. The status of our mitochondria is the ultimate key for optimal health and while it is true that some of us might need extra support in the form of nutritional supplementation to heal these much needed energy factories, the diet still remains the ultimate key for a proper balance."
