Happy New Year! Let this be your year of regaining health and vitality!
Dry Fasting is very powerful. It's got some intense autophagy and intense stem cell regeneration capabilities. But with its power come possible side effects. You should always scale slowly and adjust. Most people come to dry fasting with severe illnesses. Depending on your illness, bloodwork, and reaction to the fasting process, your strategy should change. Here is a list of do's and don'ts that I have come to after discussing dry fasting with hundreds of people. The following do's and don'ts err on the side of caution and include lots of people who have had worsening conditions after a dry fast (over-fasting damage due to condition).
- Do build up to extended fasting slowly
- Do learn about proper refeeding
- Do learn why carbs are important for overall health
- Do learn why ketosis is therapeutic
- Do measure improvement by giving yourself at least 1-2 months between long fasts (over 3 days)
- Do remove processed food from the diet
- Do fix your cortisol circadian rhythm
- Do learn meditation so you can harness the magic of a dry fast
- Do take Potassium and Vitamin C after a dry fast
- Do realize that women need to prepare twice as diligently compared to men
- Do take bloodwork before a dry fast and two months after one
- Do take extra precautions for fasting if diabetic (reduce dose significantly)
- Do dry fast if you have persistent chronic lung issues (miraculous)
- Do learn about the importance of daily light movement
- Don't dry fast before getting kidney, liver, thyroid, and adrenal bloodwork done
- Don't dry fast if you have low cortisol issues (salivary cortisol test) due to adrenal insufficiency
- Don't do extended dry fasting for cancer before extensive research and water fasting experience
- Don't dry fast if you have elevated rT3
- Don't dry fast longer than 5 days without first addressing organ issues
- Don't dry fast before you've water fasted
- Don't ingest anything during your dry fast (unless it's required medication, but then you need to analyze if a dry fast is safe for you)
- Don't take serotonin agonists or mushrooms for at least two weeks after a dry fast (water retention issues)
- Don't keep fasting when you don't need to (over-fasting)
- Don't dry fast if you have severe blood, heart, liver, or kidney issues (at least without precautions)
- Don't dry fast when you have an active illness (there are better strategies)
- Don't have salt too quickly after a dry fast
- Don't dry fast if you have any diagnosed heart and blood issues

That's it for now. I may be missing a few things that I'll add later. I am still working on the Scorch Protocol and adapting and changing many things, and I highly recommend you get access to it under the Scorch Protocol MIRO BOARD. All other protocols on this site at this point are obsolete and outdated, for informational use only. Of course, they were always for information use only, but at this point, I've rewritten/overwritten them all to certain extents. The link for paid members is below. (once again, if you can't afford it, email me for the access link).
