I’m currently on day 3/40 of my water fasting. I was diagnosed with leukemia 2 years ago, got cancer free for a year but now my blood tests are showing leukemia cells again. I’m praying that I will cure or at least help the cancer not to spread more. Please pray for me 😢🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😔 Edit: I ended my water fasting on a day 26/40. I didn’t mind at all the fast heartbeat which I think i had it because of dehydration, but I started being concerned when I had body chills. Literally on the day 25 I was feeling so cold. The benefits are beyond imagination though. I lost 25 pounds, I was taking 2 bp medications and now I take None. My skin looks so smooth like I am 10 years younger and my vision is so much better. Now I am eating one meal a day OMAD because I am scared that leukemia will come back. I am determined to do a 3 days water fasting once or twice a month until I am completely cancer free! Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for the prayers the support and love. I wish health, happiness and blessings to all of you guys! 🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️ God bless you all.
Praying for you!this too shall pass🤍
@@sadgyaruu thank you so much 🙏🏼🙏🏼🥹
Good for you, I believe you are doing the right thing to kill the cancer cells!
keep at it am on day 8/40. You will overcome.
Believe to succeed. Your dedication will pay off
I've done many fasts and a 40 day fast once. After about 3 or 4 days, hunger goes away and you, actually, start to have a lot of energy. At some point, you aren't hungry anymore, but realize how much time you spend buying, preparing, thinking about and eating food. It is almost more about those things than being hungry. Anyway, I highly recommend fasting...and praying!
Amen!!!!
What happens to our bone and hair health during prolong fasting?
All praises to the most high good job brother Derek!!
@Conqueror's haki That never happened to me and I don't want to give you bad advice. I am not an expert, nor a doctor. If it were me, then i would strongly consider ending the fast. 17 days is a long time. Take care!
@@bittercoffee113 There will be a good chance you will have hair shedding that you will notice a month or so after the fast. The longer the fast the more likely this will happen. Hair is at the very bottom of the priority list for the body, so when protein and nutrients are low it can cause hair follicles to shut down and go to sleep. This isn't hair loss as when you return to eating those hair follicles will come back into the growing stage. Chronic and long term nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances cause hair loss. Bones will be broken down as well through autophagy, but this again will be quickly regenerated when you start eating and healing again. Fasting is amazing but doing it too much and not allowing the body to heal and recover can cause issues as your eating away at the body but not allowing it time to recover. Fasting is two parts, the actual fasting and then the eating and recovery aswell.
It hilarious that god tells us some things can only be done through fasting and prayer and here we are listening to scientists saying fasting is the only thing that can help certain conditions. God has been so good to us.
It's right in the scripture.
Which god are you referring to?
@@stupidmilkshake4887 the Christian God.

I am on day 36 of my 40 day water fast. 44lbs lost so far. I remember watching this video before starting. I take a multivitamin, B complex, vitamin C, magnesium supplement, sea salt, and usually 2-3 liters of water every day. I’ll likely hit 50lbs lost by the conclusion of this, which is 4 days away as of writing this. I did this for more than weight loss. I woke one Sunday morning feeling depressed and sick of the direction my life was going. It was the morning after a night of bad eating and drinking. I was tired of being tired of being tired. I couldn’t stand looking at the person in the mirror, and I was tired of the toxic relationships I had with people who used you when they needed something, but were nowhere to be found when they were doing good. A fast as a hard reset on my life was the best thing I could have ever done to find clarity in my life.
❤🩹
We're you working during ?
@@andrewdiolosa3861 Oh yea. 70 hours per week. Plus flying up to 3-5 times per week as well. Tomorrow is day 40 for me, thankfully. Close to 50lbs lost.

@@williambunter3311 sometimes something comes along to help make the slightest shift in mindset which ends up being "life changing". That was it for me....I "CHOSE MY HARD" and it hasn't been "hard" since...
@@susanturnbull9773 Yes, I know fully what you mean, Susan. A single insight or phrase can move a mountain! I have cancer and severe breathing problems, and am morbidly obese. Recently I have started on a ketotonic diet and a dairy-free regime, to prepare for my surgery to have a kidney removed. It is hard to say 'no' to sugar and carbs, but, as you so rightly argue, it is harder to look in the mirror with self-loathing and feelings of guilt and regret for neglecting one's health over the years (I am 71). As for me, I believe firmly that seventy is, or can be, the new forty, so I don't feel old 'inside' at all, (and I'm still a whizz at mental arithmetic!) It's never too late. Also, I hope and believe that should I not get through the surgery I will go to be with my beautiful Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. So either way, I am a winner! God bless you.

Once you start fasting, you will learn that the meal is no longer the gift, the Fast is the Gift. -Dr. Mindy Pelz
Fasting is such a great body and mind reset tool. Love it. Will do it till I die. I feel great when fasting. Mind is widening and improving on a daily basis. The constant food injection is making the opposite. Making the body busy with processing that food, but the body and mind are dependent on the carbs every 3 to 4 hours. And then hunger. No more hunger while on fasting and keto.
@EGM GAMING Did your knee pains go away?
at 144 hours right now. I feel fantastic. 5 mile bike ride each of last 3 days, no issues. I have PAD and when fasting the pain of exerting doesn't occur
Fasting is gifted..any ppl don't know How amazing is fasting..I work hard And my mind is more focus..I feel good....
Wow learning so much glad I watched this video
Yes when I did a 7 day fast all the sudden everyone was so concerned and telling me it’s dangerous and I needed to eat and I didn’t need to lose weight. I wasn’t doing it to lose weight I was trying to benefit from cell repair as I was in absolute agony with back pain. People really made the situation worse so I wouldn’t tell anyone if I did it again and just avoid people altogether.
Facts! Most people who say this say it from a place of illiteracy and I usually tell them, listen you yourself have got this and this and this health problem, I think you should water fast with me you will benefit more than me. That normally shuts them up lol.
I agree. People get really, really weird about food, and depriving yourself. It's really a fascinating thing to see. Maybe because we're so hard-wired into eating for survival, people just do a knee-jerk reaction?
always move in silence, people will have opinions on everything but thats for them, real1 move in silence others just talking
@@KakaCat69 always, trynna stop a player
a work friend once told me that best way to stick to a diet is to not tell anyone you are on a diet. If they asked, she would lie and say she was just craving cucumber. It is much the same. Many will feel threatened by your choices.. like it is some kind of judgement on them.I have water fasted a few times and never told anyone.
Currently on day 22 of 30. Lost 50 lbs. It's tough, but I'll see it through.
Hows it going? How much fat did you have before u started?
Would you be kind enough to tell us what you consumed ? Was it only water or water plus lemon or anything else ?
Hi guys, quick update. I did it! I completed the fast on April 3rd at 3pm and I couldn't be more proud of myself for the achievement. During the fast I consumed absolutely nothing but bottled water. No supplements, no tea, no coffee. Nothing. I can't say if I'd recommend people do that as the prolonged experience of zero electrolytes is unpleasant as best. I intend to do another 30 day fast likely in May, this time with the addition of magnesium and potassium supps to experience the difference. Ultimately I lost exactly 53.7lbs, down from almost exactly 400 lbs and I feel fantastic. I've been on a little break so I can enjoy some of my favorite foods (in moderation of course) so starting Monday I'll go back to 1 meal a week for the rest of April untill I do another 30 in May.
@@chrischangfong3873 Congratulations.
@@chrischangfong3873 Hi. Congrats, great achievement. Did u do any physical or mental work during this time? Did u go to ur job?
Have you ever noticed when you go to bed hungry you wake up feeling fine, but go to bed after eating a giant meal and you wake up starving? 😊
I have a worse problem - I CAN not, will not, fall asleep hungry. Ever. Any remedy??
@@AMonikaD Carbs make you crave food. If you switch to Keto & do intermitent fasting, it is not so bad. Check all videos by Erik Berg for more info.
@@ellanola6284 but I AM doing the keto and fasting - two weeks now, and the tummy rumbling is soo loud, lol. Also, I can not fall asleep at night if hungry so I eat late, then fast all day while at work. People stare at me !!!
@@AMonikaD My advice is to cut out wheat stuff entirely. But if you must eat it, eat it before noon. Another thing you should have noticed is that if you swill down some good oil like avocado or olive, you wont be hungry. Try doing that at bedtime instead, It has HUGE health benefits. FI, on the days, twice a week, when i take my tablespoon of cod liver oil at dawn, i can go til noon and never feel hungry. Oils make you lose weight, not gain weight. One of the worse things in the western diet is wheat.
Yep
This is my first 24hrs of fasting. I'm aiming for 30days to get rid of the high blood pressure, cholesterol and borderline diabetes. Not excluding the excess weigh. Please pray for me. I need a change in my eating behaviors
You can get rid of all that under 30 days. You'll see a difference in a week. The trick is; once you've fasted and continuously followed a eating schedule, you must maintain the lifestyle. Otherwise, the weight will come back, the pains will come back and the medication will come back.
Same reason here why am on fasting. Its my 8thday today. Good luck to us
Prayers heading your weight
You got this 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 you’re not alone
I hope you fast is going well!
I have only ever made it 5 days of water fasting although I strive for more. The personal benefits: 1) I enjoy raw vegetables again, because it retrains your taste buds 2) I have more portion control power and increased ability to avoid processed addictive foods 3) weight loss 4) clear skin 5) cured of excema over time of doing this 6) clarity of thought 7) more productive 8) increased sex drive The bible talks about fasting and that's how I started.
5 days of water fasting is a Great accomplishment! Health-wise I'd like to see your bio-markers!
Stupid Bible has nothing to do with it
The bible says lots of crazy things, but that doesn't make it right! Fasting, marriage and a lot of other things existed before Christianity!
The Bible is the infallible word of God. People who read and apply it will know that Fasting helps believers get closer to God. Give up the flesh and the Spirit is renewed, along with the body. Thank you Jesus 🙏
5 days is pretty solid. 4 is my max. But I usually do a couple days a month -- almost 4 months total water fasting over 5 yrs. Goal is to clear out cellular/subcellular junk before autophagy drops off after 65 yrs old.
My father waterfasted twice in his life, first when he was like 18 for 25 days and then when he was 55 for 19 days, healthiest man ever, he never gets sick, rarely has a cold, a headache or anything like that and it's always in a good mood. The weigh loss is great but fasting does so much more for you.
did he die?
@@sofahitam_id2412 All people die, of course. But the way a lot of people go down is tough, painful, freedom limiting. And the reason for a lot of that is their body has a lifetime of junk in it and the internal garbage man ( autophagy ) works less and less, allowing things to pile up. Fasting clears out the toxins, bad cells, defunct pieces on a subcellular level ahead of time so that when the garbage man stops working, your issues won't pile up nearly as fast. I am 55 and have a 1 yr old grandson. I hope that in 15 years I can still be physically active to be a part of his life. That is my goal.
I fasted no food just water and plain tea with lemon for 46 days and just recently broke it. I lost almost 50 pounds and my body completely reset itself, regenerated and restored from the inside out. I’d suddenly started dealing with blood pressure issues and other health problems which the doctor prescribed me medication for that I absolutely refused to take so I prayed about it and God led me on what I thought was a 21 day fast of no food just water but it was actually a 46 day fast instead. My body completely changed as if it was repaired to new. I’m currently on zero medications and my blood pressure previously 180/99 is currently 117/80 with a normal pulse and no other issues in my body, completely healthy, PRAISE GOD! I also have a lot of energy and I definitely sleep better now and longer. Once I broke it I had to start off eating very light because my stomach could only handle a very small portion of food. Of course I thought eating vegetables were ok but, NOT. I thought I was going to die after I ate little of them so I started throwing up nonstop which was the worst feeling and my stomach was turning flips amongst other things which I won’t mention and I almost passed out. FYI, after a long period of fasting a little bone broth would probably be better once it’s broken. Since breaking my fast about 2 weeks now I’ve only been eating one meal a day drinking just water with lemon and eating no junk foods, fast foods nor sweets. I eat organic everything, lots of vegetables, I cook all of my meals now because I know what going in them. I buy only organic grass fed meat which I still don’t eat a lot of (meat that is) My whole lifestyle of eating has completely changed without the slightest cravings for any of the mess I was addicted to eating before. I don’t even miss it. Fasting is definitely one of the greatest benefits to having a healthier body. Denying your body the thing it craves most is actually giving your body what it need most and that’s no food for an extended period of time. Be blessed on your journey to becoming a better and healthier you through fasting.
Thank you for sharing! I keep failing but I’m determined to keep fasting, praying, and getting in the Word
That’s really great! Nice job!
Thank you!
After about 20 days it really does zap your BP! Crazy!

I did 40 days and I lost 42 pounds and it’s been almost 2 years and I kept it off. I personally love fasting and I live my life by it 😊
How did you break your fast?
Only water for 40 days ?
I am sorry I don't believe you
Zee I used bone broth then started to reduce foods in slowly.
Tony Phylactou you don’t have too because you didn’t live my life. I did salts in my water and I was very proud of myself. It takes a lot of willpower and hard work. I did it for 40 days because Jesus did. I been living this life style for awhile now and I personally love it. I had a really big cyst when I started and I am so proud to say my body dissolved it. Unbelievable healing powers with fasting, look into it and i would never ever go back to eating 3 meals a day ever again. God bless you on your Journey 😌
Best I've done is a 10 day water only fast, I'm excited next time to go for 14, then 20, then 30 one day. But at Day 10, I felt like a million bucks and didn't want to stop fasting but my parents were freaking out that I hadn't eaten so I basically stopped for them. But having them watch me the whole time definitely changed their perspective on fasting and they worry less and less when they see that my anxiety goes down, depression goes down, energy goes up, mental clarity and health goes up, etc.
I’m on day 11. Did 7 days a few years ago. How do you break your fasts?
Stop the gluten
Ive noticed when i eat very little, especially after a binge phase, i feel amazing. Idk why i dont fast more often
Did your parents agree with your observations? i.e. you felt the positives and you felt/thought they did too, or they confirmed your observations?
@@jamesclark6487 Oh yes, they did. My parents were surprised by my energy levels and how I felt and looked. In fact, when I finished the fast, they were telling all their friends about it.

Same here! Mine starts tomorrow. I've never made it past 3 days. But I'm ready this time for the full 21. Good luck, and pray keep us updated. Brandon
@@Voltornator as day 5 comes to an end I must say I was far less hungry today than the last 4 days. I wasn’t even thinking about food as much or anything. Since day 5 was a success i like to think I’ll keep it up!

YES YOU CAN! Raise that vibration and never stop! Peace and proud of you.
Suggestion for your next fast and to others - the first few days can be the hardest so if you are three days in and feeling good I would suggest you keep going as it gets easier and the benefits of better health, no hunger, lots of energy, mental/brain improvements and not needing too much sleep and waking early and refreshed start to reveal themselves. Plus you have a lot of extra time! And keep a detailed diary of your experiences/feelings - that's very helpful. I'm on day four of my third fast as I type. I highly recommended fasting.

Guys -- if you do a long fast remember to eat very little the day after you end it. Eat almost nothing And scale it up slowly or you will end up in hospital. This is very important.
Thank you. No one's talking about this very important point. I heard if a pastor's wife who died after a 40 day fast from eating a big meal immediately after the fast ended...
I fasted 21 days and coming off the fast could barely eat before being very full. Also, goes very, very fast through the system for at least a week. It is hard to see how anyone could end up eating too much after a long fast.
This isn't true. If our ancestors went hungry for weeks and then suddenly managed to get food are you telling me that they thought 'oh I had better eat this food slowly over many days otherwise I might die'. No, they would eat as much as they could until they were stuffed and before it rotted or something else ate it first. I never believed it was dangerous to eat normally after a fast so I tried it myself after a 2 week water fast. I ate as much of whatever I was craving until I was stuffed and it the most delicious thing ever. The worst thing that happened was that I urgently needed a massive crap an hour later. Interestingly I couldn't eat anywhere near as much as I had intended to either because my stomach had shrunk.
@@SIBUK Ahh.. an armchair expert. Our ancestors did not "go hungry for weeks". But if you don't believe me, try it out yourself. Write from hospital telling us I was correct. Hope you live to tell us.
VERY MUCH SO!!!!!!!! BEEN THERE, DONE THAT! WAS FORCED TO EAT 3X A DAY, and it ALMOST KILLED ME! I BLEW UP, GOT ALL INFLSMED, AND FELT I WAS GOING TO BURST! It was the WORST CONSTIPATION EVER! A very stupid spiritual father al.ost killed me with that, and I badically just ate soup to obey him! But it was just WAY TOO MUCH AFTER A 6 WEEK FAST (WEEKDAYS)! GOOD ADVICE. OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE! xo~A
I just completed an 8 day water fast. After the 4th day it gets much easier and I sometimes had bursts of energy and mental clarity. This video is very long, but here are some of the benefits of extended water fasting: 1) decrease insulin resistance 2) autophagy - your body eats 'zombie' cells, bacteria, pre-cancer cells and immunity cells and replaces them with new ones 3) you retain muscle mass when you just drink water - no supplements, tea/coffee or even gum. Anything except water can break your fast.
I’m going to follow your lead and be without tea and coffee 👍 thank you for your practised experience!
You can supercharge your fasting to heal your body faster by using a little apple cider vinegar in the water, and a little DMSO (which kills also cancer) and a little msm, and iodine, there are ways to super-charge your fast to optimize your results! I've fasted for 30 days several times in my life to heal myself and it worked every time!

@@carmencas358 For normal use you mix 1 tablespoon Apple Cider vinegar with a glass of water per day. I wouldn't overdo it during a fast. DSMO is a chemical. I fast to get rid of them, not insert them. MSM is found in many foods. So you might as well eat real food. Probably healthier as well. Iodine removes metals an chemicals. But 1 to 3 drops per day in a liter water is eriough Best is to let your body heal itself without interfering too much. Water helps to remove the toxins by urinating. Otherwise they can leave from the skin or give you a headache. And after the fast start eating light with a broth, banana, tea, toast. The Best of Luck on your journey.
@@wardi2012 Thank your answer. I got headache on day 3 and 4 (today is day 6)... additional, I noted a strong craving for raw onions and feta cheese on day 4 and yesterday, so I did eat a little raw onions. After I did google why that craving and it say it could be a lack of potassium or sulfur; I'm gonna increase the fasting salt today and to take msm. I never had try Iodine before, which brand do you use? Im planing to make 30 days. Im very curious about the healing results I could get with a long fasting. Thank you!
For me, it's like living your life with rain every day. You have no idea how beautiful a sunny day can be because rain is all you've known. It's the same with fasting. We have no idea how much poisonous, addictive trash we eat every day until we're able to step away from it and feel amazing! I bet the food-producing industries would panic if people ever realized how little food we really need.
Well said
Somewhere deep down inside of me believes we don’t need food at all.
There is something to this. The daily guideline we have been given were, I believe (from memory, this was discussed in the book 'Big Fat Lie' by Nina Tcheiholz) based on the average of something like 60 people, of roughly the same age and body type. They were observed, and the dietary guidelines based on what these people needed. In other words, a bit of a guess. What I am saying is I think you are right, in that the amount of food we need to survive and thrive is probably much less than what we have been led to believe.
I am on my 2nd day on water fasting and 2 more to go. Watching these kind of videos improve my willpower.

When I decided to do a 40 day water fast, I had recently been diagnosed with mild arthritis on my left shoulder. Even though it was 'mild' the pain was unbearable. On top of that, I was 25 kg overweight so I had plenty of fat stores. I was 47 year old then and after the 40 days of water fasting I felt like a 20 year old and my skin looked amazing! AND the arthritis went away and hasn't come back. I drank only tap water with a pinch of Himalayan salt, I also drank sugar free electrolyte drinks, a vitamin supplement, iron (I had low iron) taken with water and lemon (to increase its absorption) and every night I used pure magnesium oil on my legs.I was working while on the fast so the last two weeks of fasting were a little taxing as I was feeling lethargic but my mental clarity remained despite the tiredness. I also noticed some muscle mass loss but I at least I felt that I had a 'blank' canvas to work with after the fast meaning I would be able to goto the gym and build muscle on a body that had much less fat stores than when I started the fast. I'm not telling you to fast for 40 days because I am not a medical practitioner but I can say that it worked for me. Also, if you are a spiritual person, it benefits you tremendously. After the fast, it is important that you break the fast the proper way and then do a lifestyle change to maintain the benefits you obtained on the fast. Having a healthy diet, exercising and building muscle mass is paramount to having a functional and quality of life particularly if you want to age well and be able to do the things you enjoy. If you go back to your old habits, unfortunately you will again suffer the same ailments that you had before, so it needs to be a conscious decision to do a complete overhaul of your lifestyle.
I got 5mm of bursitis in my left shoulder so I get how much it sucks ..
Did the vitamin supplement upset your stomach at all? I want to do a longer fast and want to make sure I take enough supplements but I’m afraid I might feel queasy taking vitamins. :)
@@carolynmcnaught9669 the vitamins made me feels a bit unwell, mine were water solutable so I just used half of it and I was fine.
Alot more ppl are waking up to better health practices and spirituality and the "Elites" don't like it.

Came off my 40 Day Water-fast and it went ok. I lost a total of 22kg or just over 48lbs and it sorted my pre-diabetes. I will only stick to a 100% Vegan Diet (Whole Plant Based). Thank you Dr. Goldhamer - You inspired me.
Did you take supplements or drink lemon/tea?
@@Star-Bright Hi Star - ONLY WATER! Three liters a day. Toward the end of my fast I took some rehydrate rehydration fluids (only use those from a pharmacy). One must also be mindful that levels of uric acid may increase. A good mineral alkaline powder that contains calcium, magnesium, Phosphoros, and potassium is suggested to provide some alkalinity while providing some lost minerals and to prevent Gout attacks. Hope this helps ;) (take a rehydration supplement if you feel dizzy, or very dry skin, dry mouth etc. Monitor hydration at all times!)
Wooowww amaziingggg !!!!!
Thank you for sharing
@@thebigman6102 hello did you feel dizzy? Did you take zero electrolytes and vitamines?
I recently completed a 7 day fast drinking only water. I just can’t believe how I feel now. It’s amazing. I found it very easy to start as I was already on a time restricted eating regime eating only one or 2 meals a day within a 5 hour window. I didn’t feel hungry at all within the 7 days. I felt I could have continued for more than 7 days. Day 5 and 6 of the fast I felt I needed more sleep. My on going back lower back pain from spinal surgery a year ago was causing me real trouble. However on day 8 I woke up with no back pain and fabulous skin texture. No bags under my eyes. Not sure what has happened inside but I feel absolutely wonderful. I am 69 years old this August and feel more like I am back in my twenties again. Gail
That is wonderful!
What was your diet like after the 7 days? Did you still feel as good as while you were on your fast?
@@ashmora8296 felt good and continue to feel good. I think it reset my whole body. I have an eating habit of only one meal per day but think I should go to two meals because I believe I am getting too thin. Gail
Congratulations 🥰👏👏👏
@@gabriellazordan thank you
I’m on day 27 of my 40 day water fast. I have kidney failure and it’s not recommended for kidney failure patients to fast. 60 days ago I decided to eat a raw vegan diet and 27 days ago decided to start a water fast. Haven’t been to dialysis once. Sometimes trusting yourself and knowing your body is best. I meditated on the idea that my kidneys work perfectly every day. Thankful for an opportunity to heal myself. I encourage any kidney failure patient to try along with consulting a doctor. What I did wasn’t necessarily safe to be honest. Was just so sick of dialysis.
All power to you Carla, that is wonderful to hear.
Thank you so much!!
So happy for u Carla👏🏾 Wishing you the Best of continuous Good health to u!
wow respect, do you just water fast? Or do you use some minerals ? Like sodium (or salt) etc? How is your breath? Did you feel alcohol like breath? Or feeleing in your mouth? It is something like acidic ? When I did 21 days fast I had this symptomes. I felt extremely tired all the time, I think is it maybe because I did not take salt?? Whats your energy level? How about your energy in muscles, are they "heavy" or "tired" ? Thanks for possible answer and hope it will help you, last question what will be you first meal?
@Brett M yea you are right, I can confirm from my own experience, In 21 days I drink just water, but It was hard.... tired all the time, heavy muscles, problem with sleep etc etc... When I did 6 days fast but with salt I had same level of energy maybe even more, sleep was better (not perfect but when I compare It was better) not heavy muscles and pretty ok energy I could even do litle exercise like yoga... so yes definitely there should be some information about electrolytes in 10+ days fasting, you are basically dehydrated because of osmosis... your body sucks at retaining sodium when you dont have insulin spikes, When I am on keto diet I can take 2-3 times more salt than before and I am completely fine, I dont know about potassium and from where could I get in on fast like sodium (which is from salt) Yea I know that there is potassium chloride just like sodium chloride but when you think about our ancestors could they supplement potasium chloride ?? I think not so our body must have some evolutionary mechanism how to retain potassium better when we fast and another fact is that potassium Is most abundant mineral in our cells sodium is outside of cells so we do not need so much because we do not lose it so much like sodium (sweat, urine etc)
I'm 150 kg down to 119kg so far I've been doing 1 meal a day and 3 day water fasts every few weeks . Just completed a 3 day dry fast yesterday. Loving life again
Can you please tell me what a dry fadt is.
The word is fast, thanks.
how long have been fasting.
@@barnesrobena7 not eating nor drinking! Nothing goes into the mouth
Impressive! The body needs water but the mind does more, things can go awry quickly. Personally not a dry fast fan.. maybe 24 hrs max if that way inclined.
I’m an Inuit woman who’s parents died from alcoholism. It was an easy choice to not drink. I know that being an orphan triggered my fear of starvation. It’s a daily decision to eat my ancestors diet: fish, fat and whole real food. My reward in life: holding my grandchildren and teaching them how to feel JOY 💗 Life is wonderful!
It's a cheat sistem humans have, we fill our body with dopamine so our lives seems better when in fact it isn't, the best thing we can do to get a better life is making it better on a daily basis, numbing ourselves with bad food and habits is not the way to create a better life... most people will never live withouy their addiction because being sober on life is actually difficult. But being drunk in a housefire is a thousand times worse.

I did a 30 water fast Sept.2019, which kicked off my health journey. I've lost about ~90 lbs since then. I was vegan when I started but a very unhealthy processed vegan. I have maintained the weight loss with plant based vegan OMAD and working out daily. My health is awesome! I'm currently on day 10 of a water fast as it was time of the year for another reset and wanted to shed last few lbs off. Crazy when I'm fasting all I do is watch fasting vids and documentaries...lol

Nobody will understand the benefits of fasting until they fast... and then, boom, a new understanding of life and spirituality will unfold upon them and in front of them. God bless people like you 2. I've fasted for 25 days in a row many years ago. It was the best time of my life.

Ive lost 112lbs so far in 7 months doing 5 day fasting. 5 days of nothing but water eat for 2 days, water fast for 5 days eat for 2. I dont care what anyone tells me i am not giving up meat. When i eat i usually eat grass fed beef, or salads and fruits. I started at 462lbs, and i am currently 350lbs. Shooting to be between 260-280lbs
As far as the diet goes avoiding bad foods like sugar and seed oils is the key to health. However you will ultimately be deficient and frail on a long term vegan diet though it is fine for short term.
@@LTPottenger Yeah I mainly stick to Whole Foods. Ali junk food wake here and there but I really don't even like the taste of it anymore. I'm a big wrap person so I eat a lot of wraps with grilled chicken and all my veggies. I use high fiber and protein wraps to limit processed carbs

Great, well done! thats my diet plan 12:12 for the rest of my life to maintain WL, once I've reached my goal of 40-45kg, currently at 68kg. Im doing a 49 day water fast. 23-28kg to go🥳
I'm on day 1 of my 21-day fast. I recently had these small bumps coming over my body after my period for the past 4 months. At first, I thought it was a heat bump, but I started to discover the pattern. The heat bump comes after five days of my period. It won't go away for about two weeks, and it is very painful. I started to google and found it to be an autoimmune condition called HS. Luckily, my one is not so severe, but it leaves behind scars. So far, I have had it around my armpits and my buttocks. I was completely shattered when I read that it was uncurable. The same day, I found a video about fasting, and some of them posted that they had recovered from autoimmune disease by fasting. Please pray for my recovery, guys ❤.
How are you doing? Hope all is well.
I’m on day 8/30, I’ve been chronically I’ll from toxic mold for 5 years. I’m finally feeling relief.

Awesome!
this is so true. we really don’t need much! especially overweight people, we have so much stored fats and nutrients that we can survive extreme lengths without food!
Wow that's great! Did your brother rest the entire 40 days or did he work out/go to work?
It would have been heck of a lot easier if he simply ran track a little every day before lunch...
@@VersusARCH it's easier & cheaper to fast. It was a religious thing
I water fasted 93 and 96 hours back to back with a 4 hour eating window, after the 96 Hours I was not hungry at all or craving anything it’s amazing once you stop eating and reset your body, it literally stops craving food. I lost 19 pounds in 10 days while walking as well but it’s amazing to see.

Fasting and praying are the only way I’ve been able to get rid of certain personality traits and bad habits. With god everything is possible. Thank you Yeshua.
Yes, I will have to pray , too.
Fasting is something physical, therefore it actually CAN have an impact. Praying is nothing, there is no way it can actually do anything.
@Lindsay Colon There actually is one study that shows an effect of praying for people in hospital. If those people are unaware they are being prayed for the effect is zero. If they are aware the effect is negative (this must be serious psychological effect)

Why would anyone require a crutch in order to live a healthy lifestyle. No god will help you get over your unhealthy lifestyle, basically bc god doesn’t exist.
Did a 7 day fast a few weeks ago. I was on 3 blood pressure medications and Metformin for diabetes. Even on 3 BP medications I was living with 145/95+ on a daily basis. After 4 days I was 115/70. I’ve maintained a normal BP for over 2 weeks. In addition to this, my blood glucose levels are normal (80-100). Typically my glucose levels were 125-145. After my 7 day fast I’ve maintained one meal per day. I’m down 28 pounds, from 255 pounds to 227. Fasting works!!
Sweet deal. lt got worked out.
Just a few months ago I had this strange pain and lump that started in my right breast. My right breast seemed to be swelling 😢. I decided to start my 30 days fast specifically 22hour fast with a small keto diet, enough hydration and no sugars for breaking the fast❤ Am currently on my 7th day and to my greatest surprise the lump and pain are no more 😮!!!. My breast is swelling no more😮 I confirmed with a breast scan and physical with a doctor and everything is very normal!!. I feel so good and get good sleep too❤
Congratulations!!! I'm so happy to hear that. Wishing you a continued abundance of health and wellness 💫
I think you prevented something big. That's is very good. It's good to do 1 week fasting once a year to prevent.
22 hr fast with a low carb diet is quite easy to do. With so much benefit, there's no reason to stop. I'd advise light exercise to preserve muscle mass. Otherwise, the muscles may be tapped for energy... if not used.
Awesome! God’s perfect plan

Great idea!!WoW… I love large cocktail olives. Forget the cocktail.. Bring the olives… ❤️
Good idea!! Once during a week fast I felt weak. I took a bite or two of Kim chi and then I was good!!
Last month I started alternate day fasting for 40 hours, every monday, wednesday and friday. It has changed my appetite for the better. I stop eating on Sunday around 6 pm and only have water and tea until Tuesday around 10. I wa on vacation last week and did one meal a day, didn't think my companions would understand not eating so I said nothing and only had dinner most days. As soon as I got back I weighed myself and only gained a pound! My metabolism is changing. I just completed a 48 hour fast and think I'll go longer once a season. I'm seeing great benefits and my body shape is changing. I don't need to lose weight, I'm doing this for longevity and health. Fascinating, wish I had found it years ago. I'm 67 and had surgery for a rare Chondrosarcoma almost 3 years ago and am determined to be as healthy as I can.
I like this idea. Is there a magic number with 40?
Jesus, Moses, Daniel, Paul all fasted to get spiritual clarity and deny the flesh. Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak
And Buddha.
Amen!!!
Prophet Muhammed also
@Tafari I And the non religious people you refer to fasted because fasting tradition has been passed on by religions, as has much that has benefited modern mankind. It's sad that many people today have little insight into the heritage of civilization and the central role religion played in that. As for the flesh being the same, you don't know what you are talking about. Moses and Jesus fasted completely from water and food for 40 days and nights. If you think that is achievable by others, go and try. But write a will first.
@Tafari I Where's your evidence non religious people existed throughout history? You won't find any, because non religious communities did not thrive, nor learn languages and writing and making of books. Why do you think Homosapien Neanderthals buried their dead 75,000 years ago? Why do you think Australian Aboriginals cremated their dead 40,000 years ago? Why do you think later Neanderthals were buried with utilitarian relics? Why do you think the Egyptian Pyramids and Stonehenge were built? Without exception, every significant enduring community of humans had religious beliefs and customs. American Indians, Indian Indians, Indonesians, Tribes in the Amazon, early Koreans.....wherever you go, enduring communities have believed in supernatural God or Gods, and have passed on their cultural wisdom through religious ceremony and custom....which includes fasting. It is testament to the subversive influence of atheistic forces today, that people such as yourself are so patently ignorant about history. You must be very young, and very naive. Show me your evidence anyone on the internet, who says they fasted from all food and fluid for 40 days, is telling the truth. Go tell your doctor you intend to do this, and I bet he gets you certified mentally ill.
I’m in fasting right now and today is my 23rd day. Not gonna lie, breaking my fasting comes to my mind a dozen times now cause there a times that i crave so much about certain foods. Now watching this video puts me back and adds encouragement to reach that 40days goal. And by the way, i already lost 10kgs.
Did you go for 40?
You were sugar dependent when you started. Sugar comes from refined sugar products and carbs. Better plan .. Break sugar dependence but doing smaller fasts and working up.

@@wolfthequarrelsome504 Yes, that’s what my doctor told me, and warned me that in less than a year i will be diabetic if i will not change my eating habit. And surprisingly enough, when I told her that I’m planning to do 40 days fasting, she said that it’s better than any prescription she could give.
I have been water fasting for years. I love it. I feel amazing and my body is so happy to not be trying to rid itself of poison every day. I am currently on day 21 of a 90 day fast. Down 23lbs. And very motivated to keep going. Fasting brings me closer to God which I also love. I came to this video for inspiration and i am excited to see all of the people in the comments realizing the benefits of fasting.
That is amazing! I remember attending a fasting conference in bible college 15-years back. Many students took part in fasting and praying that week. I've never been able to fast due to the intense pain and headaches that accompany with fasting after 24-hours. This is probably due to eating so much junk and caffeine over the years. Just wanted to add, I can do the 16:8 method that some call a type of fasting.
Can you do it if you’re on medication cause I fancy this
@@paullynch1938 I would talk to your doctor. With that, there has been stories, papers, and videos with people stating that fasting reduced their need for medication or even the need for any medication. There has been reports of the body healing itself with fasting. Remember to prepare, study, and start with small fasts. I typically fast 18/6 every day - that is 18 hours of fasting and 6 hours of eating. Doing this without changing what I eat has caused me to lose about 20 pounds in two months. I am not changing how much I eat and slowly reducing my sugar intake.
No way your fasting for 90 days. Your can’t live 90s with no food and just water unless you are taking electrolytes and stuff too.
Are you working during this time? Full time, part time, or don’t need to work…

Fasting helps cure your ailments. I did bursts of 1-5 days of water fasting. It helped me get over a deadly illness. I was advised by my doctor not to fast.

My record on water fasting in 3.5 days. If anyone feels weak after 3-4 days, add some salt in the water, the salt has electrolites which are essential

I felt the best I'd ever felt In my life. Also, I had a 5 pound fibroid that the Dr told me to remove it I would need a colostomy, blood, and surgery would be 4 hrs because not only did I have that Hugh fibroid but 13 smaller ones. I told the Dr sorry but I'm not receiving any of those diagnosis. Day of surgery I asked her to let me pray for her hands and she allowed me After surgery my Dr and students came toy room puzzled. She said well when I went in there was only 1 fibroid the other 13 were all attached to the large fibroid...(Dr sent me the picture, I still have it)....she said you didn't need blood and no colostomy. Surgery was only an hour and 30 minutes because it was only 1 fibroid. I KNOW MY FASTING HELP MANIFEST THAT MIRACLE .... lastly the fibroids was so pretty and red. I didn't want surgery and kept believing for the fibroid to strink but Most High obviously had to humble some Doctors that day to show them that He has the last say so.

I have been doing intermittent fasting for two years and sometimes do 72 hours fasts. I have recovered from tinnitus, ibs, yeast infections, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and insomnia. I am convinced that this is a protocol that should be recommended by physicians.
Wow tinnitus? I need to get into this ASAP for long. Only did 2 days juice fasting. Am going longer water fasting now then. Thanks
"Exercise and fasting are both reducing the consequences of dietary excess" Dude that´s powerful knowledge right there.
I agree
Agreed. That's fantastic.
It’s the bitter truth pull that lots of people can’t swallow.
Fuckin A. I fasted for keto, felt so clear and energetic it was unreal -right before qualifying for the Boston Marathon. Shaved 20 minutes off my time. Mentally felt better than any other time in my life.

I have told people since 2005 how one time when I was getting divorced, I did not eat for 40 days and on day 40, I had a strong electric buzz on the top of my head, and got off the floor with the most energy and least pain of my life.
Now you are Angel 😇 !
I’m fasting now and I have same feeling at the tip of my fingers.
"got off the floor"??
I did a 30 day fast, drinking water only if I got bored or thirsty. Everyone was scared to death for me. If i ever did a long fast again it would be at True North. It was so lonely being in my room all that time because if i left my room everyone would beg me to stop. The biggest thing I learned is that I was eating a lot out of boredom.
What did you do when u were bored
Masterbation most probably
älskar att höra detta, det är en bra idé allt undersöka all fakta, det gör en verkligen glad.
Lord please protect these men. They are dropping some harsh truths.
Jesus Christ is returning soon. Repent (turn around from your ungodly ways) and believe the Gospel. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Are you sure?
Exactly. The body needs a steady supply of protein to live. Fasting is a myth and complete bullshit.
@Brooklyn Bully Ariel Make Them Mad if Jesus came back centuries ago, you and I would not be born. I thank God for His patience and mercy so me and you can one day inherit the kingdom, God willing.

Day 8 of my water fast! Down 20 pounds and my inflammation and pain are gone.
are you still doing it??
I can’t wait
20 pounds in 8 days? Wow
Well done!! How do you get passed the 1st 3 days?? I couldn't hold out any longer!
@@lachatnoir1127 I was at a place that served the no SOS diet (no salt, oil or sugar) so my cravings were easier to deal with, since their food just grossed me out after a couple of days. ;) I ended up doing 16 days total of water only.
My doctor was horrified when I told her I want to heal by fasting. She said , "you can't do that... You're in medication. " And I was afraid to do it... But reading comments here, I think, I will try it!
Hey I am curious if you went through with it and if you noticed any significant changes!
R.i.p
What brought me to this video is that I read "Fasting Can Save Your Life" by Herbert Shelton (Which was published in the 60's) and was blown away by this book. I have done dozens of 3-day fasts over the last 25 years, but I was unaware of the ability to do these longer fasts, and now I'm really excited to do some longer ones. Based on Sheltons research, you do not have to be gravely ill or overweight to benefit from longer fasts. This is a game changer for humanity if this info get out to enough people.
I'm starting my water fast today, I pray to go on for days if possible weeks. I need this so badly. 2021 I got you by the balls.
How you doing?
@@jadenpvps thanks for checking out. This is my day 2 , not easy but I'll admit I feel great.
Start slowly please. A long fast is like a marathon. You should at least jog around the block a few times. Start with a 16 hour fast one week then next week 20 hours.....till you can do a 3 day fast. Consider finding a binder for toxins too. Diatomaceous earth, charcoal, bentonite clay. To remove toxins safely.
@@carrikartes1403 thank you I'll consider all the options and take it slow. So far so good, I feel great on my day two.
@@bibibibi8634 there's a good app with a good community of fasters at Fast Forward
Do you see the light in this man's eyes when he speaks? His passion for what he does is undeniable!
Me too I used fasting to get from 240 with a big gut to 170 with ABS, I put on 30lbs to do 21 day fast, Come to my channel and take a look feel free to ask me any questions you have about fasting, daily updates
Yes, because the truth he speaks is being buried by big medicine, big pharma, food industry, and big tech, ultimately the men at the top. This is the type of truth that could change the world if people were exposed to it by the places that claim to help you!
Probably because he doesn’t actually fast and isn’t dumb enough to try that shit. His eyes are lighting up with the money he makes from selling this mythical bullshit.
@@audimaster5000 Have you tried it?
@@harrisonfiore7090 Yes. Years ago when I sort of fell into the rabbit hole of this type of pseudoscience. Sure some of it has legit research and data to back it up, but not everyone is the same- also people’s metabolism and such can change quite significantly depending on all sorts of factors. PubMed and Google scholar are good to look up the most up to date studies and such.
I have fasted for two weeks and I felt great. Am going to start tomorrow for one week. The thing is that once you start it is relatively easy and so able to continue longer… breaking the fast right is very important.
"One day or day 1" This is my day 1. 5 foot 6, 82kgs. Wish me luck. Will edit this comment as the day goes by.
I caught covid about a month ago. I fasted for 6 days and broke my fast with Manuka honey and ginger turmeric tea (organic) and I healed up on the 7th day. My smell and taste came back on the 5th day and I never experecied a cold. Thank the lord
Wonderful ! I love that you did such a beautifully intuitive thing! Blessings! Thanks for sharing.
Most definitely. It stopped it right at the sore throat after I didn’t even develop a cough I felt no symptoms.
Bigz 223 did you get tested?!
yawn we all get the flu this is no different however im glad you are OK pilgrim
I’m not dismissing your reality that it helped but some people get it mild some don’t have any symptoms and others get it very badly even some one would think of as healthy. I’m glad it didn’t cause you issues but it doesn’t mean it’s universally true.
My brother-in-law, at the time a fast-food junkie, was diagnosed with leukemia and was given a year to live without submitting to a bone-marrow transplant. Rather than submit to allopathic methods, he went on an exclusively natural food diet. His leukemia disappeared and he has been cancer-free since.
Thats wonderful. Very inspiring!
It was God

I really feel like this is what ive been praying for. ive been on one substance or another wether prescribed or elicit since i was 5 years old and dependent or addicted to one thing or another for so long and I NEED to change it . every hospital ive ever been to seeking help has misdiagnosed what was wrong with me physically and the issues are only getting worse. at this point when i describe my condition to anyone professional or not they chuckle and say "youre far too young for all that" and it should be true but watching this video i cried because no one has EVER mentioned this. sounds exactly like what i need.
Fast and pray, also do a consultation and get good guidance
You can hear passion in his voice! I havent heard of a doctor who is so resourceful and knowledgeable and passionate about the art of fasting
Those first 72 hours of water fasting is tough as a newcomer, with only a couple 7 day fasts under my belt. I am starting a 7 day water fast today, hoping to push myself to 14 days. Here’s to healing my mind and body. Update: Finished my 7 day fast, feel amazing and down 13 lbs.
Blessings & good luck for you dear.
I am doing the 72 hours fasting. It was hard at first but now I am thinking of doing the 5 day fast. It gets easier every day.
What did you eat when you broke your fast? I broke my 7 day fast with strawberries and blueberries but my next goal is 14 days and I wonder if that will be a good idea.
@@chanellynel I ate cabbage soup. 1 head Napa cabbage, 1 bunch celery, 3 grn bell pep, 6 med yellow onion, 2 qt organic chick broth. Rough chop veg, throw in huge pot, pour in broth, fill to top with H2O. Boil for 5-10 min, reduce to low simmer until veg is tender. I like to add spice to mine with Cholula in my individual bowl.
You can do it 14 or 21
Fasting is amazing, it’s hard but once you get past a certain point your body starts healing. I have no pain in my knees and joints, my skin glows and I feel light on my feet. The cobwebs clear in my head and It’s insane how good I feel. Fasting takes mental strength and that makes me feel super strong. I will always fast.
I tried my first fast on august 2nd planning to go for 7 days and I only lasted 3 until I got extreme nausea and vomiting so I gave up. ugh. Should I try it again tomorrow or wait longer to start another fast because this time I want to last longer. Any advice??
@@avajayne7250 always listen to your body, I have never in all my 20 years of fasting experienced vomiting or felt nauseous. I would absolutely wait a week or two before trying it again. Good luck and I’m looking forward to hearing how your experience goes. 👍🏻
Rayraycat32 wow really? I heard it happens to some people but it could also be my ADHD medication on a empty stomach causing the nausea. I’ve been trying again and I’m on my 2nd day now… feeling alright but the nausea is back again.. aiming for 5 I think
Hope forgive me but you are beautiful I just thought I had to tell you that
@@avajayne7250 just know that isn’t a bad thing your body was in the detox process it was doing it’s job
Thank God there's a transcript of this as Dr G's rapid-fire diction, fueled by his articulation and passion, slides by my brain's left hemisphere at times!

We Vietnamese has a proverb: "Trouble from your mouth out, sickness from your mouth in".
Van Tam Ngo There is a Chinese proverb for that too！ “病从口入，祸从口出”
That is brilliant! So true, lol!
I always say when someone has a bad attitude; They must need a colonic! Love these quotes! So true!! ;-)
Wise words!
What does that mean?
I completed a 5 day water fast and I felt amazing. I messed up by binging on the weekend :( but, I'm not going to let it discourage me. I am starting over again today. Wish me luck!
Dont get discouraged. Try eating whole foods plant based soon after fasting. I love my 4 to 5 days. Wanna go a week next. Lately I do an OMAD. I feel great.
Good luck man
Be impressed you did that!!! There are ALWAYS benefits!
Good luck, I'm starting mines Monday
Keep grabbing the bull by the horns. Never give up and Good Luck!!
YES. YES. YES. 👈🏿‼️ I fasted for 42 days - only good results . No input from anyone (except my doc who kept telling me to stop,
So glad he brought up the vivid dreams. I’m on day 5 of 10 water fast and the dreams are so realistic! -don from Lorain Ohio USA!
Dreams are very very realistic and they are pretty positive filled with love , emotions , well being
My dad was diagnosed with type 2 years ago. He refused drugs and changed his diet. He reversed the diabetes and at his last consultation the doc told him “do you know, you are the first diabetic patient I have ever discharged”

WOW! Good for him.
My wife was diagnosed with T2D one month ago to the day. Immediately we both went on zero sugar, zero simple carbs and high cruciferous veggies. As well as intermittent fasting 18:6. Her blood sugars were around 300, now cruising around 90-120 with levels going down after eating. Her insulin resistance is disappearing! We're dropping weight, no aches and pains, breathing better, tons of energy and insane mental clarity only a month in. Love this new medical insight...a wave is coming!
Congratulation, Dustin! Best wishes to both of you. If diet causes a disease, a change of diet will alter the progression. You and your wife are smart!!!
How's it still going with her blood sugars?
That's great. Implementation as a life style is the most important step now.
How is it now?
@@GOATMINDSET777 great, thanks for asking. A1C is 5.2 and feeling amazing, not to mention looking amazing too. One of the best things is her cycles used to be incredibly painful, now she can barely tell.
I’ve done 90 days fasting 2 years ago, went from 230 lbs to 160ish, now back to 190 (bad habits+work). Currently on day 7 of 60 days water fasting and already lost around 10 lbs! Will post when an done!
Wow was it hard...
I did a 7 day last year and it was incredible. Do you work when doing a 14,21 or longer fast?
Only water fast or did u take minerals, salt etc ???
