Prof. Spira on Dry Fasting and the Cyclical Nature of the Transition

The following was initially written in response to several questions that I received about dry fasting. Recently, some dry- and water-fasting retreats/clinics have received increased public attention, and below I share some of my thoughts on the subject.

Dry fasting is certainly at the top of the mountain. But it is dangerous to do without having transitioned for a while. Arnold Ehret once loosely defined fasting as any restriction of food or liquid intake. Ultimately, fasting is a relative proposition. What fasting is for my body may not be the same for someone else's body. And this can even shift depending on the changes in your own physiology. To determine what fasting regimen is right for you, it is essential to understand various dynamics of your own body. What is the amount of uneliminated waste in your bowels? Do you have a uric (acid) lean body type, or a fatty (mucus) body type? Uric acid types are those that are often said to have "high metabolisms" and can seemingly eat a lot and not get fat. The misconception is that this person is healthier than an overweight person. This is often not the case, as their body just handles mucus and pus differently than fatty (mucus) types.

Knowing that I am a mucus-type greatly informs how I approach the transition diet and the proposition of fasting on various levels. (See Arnold Ehret’s Mucusless Diet Healing System for more on physiological types.) There is a world of experiences from dry to water fasting; a world between dry and fruit-juice fasting; light years between achieving such fasts while doing regular enemas; worlds between fruit-juice and fruit/vegetable-juice fasting; a galaxy between cooked-juice (store-bought juice) and fresh, raw-juice fasting; a universe between juice fasting and (mucus-free) fresh-fruit fasting (I now have to make the distinction of mucus-free fruit, since many folks eat and view the fatty/mucus-forming ones as fruits fit for fasting); an omniverse between eating a raw, mucusless diet and a cooked, mucus-lean one; and, of course, there is a multi-dimensional omniversal black hole between a plant-based, mucus-lean reality and the standard pus-and-mucus existence. And each of these realities can be considerably different depending upon how long and how well you have transitioned toward a cleansing diet. Doing a dry fast after 40 years of mucusless transition is much different than doing one after a year of eating raw or vegan.

Although we might be tempted to view healing as a linear progression, I encourage you to consider it from multiple perspectives. It may be advantageous to view this as a continuum rather than a strict line. A continuum may be defined as a sequence in which adjacent elements are not perceptibly different from each other, although the extremes are quite distinct. Thus, I am referring to a continuum—or cycle—of physiological realities. And each reality corresponds with a field of consciousness. My personal goal is to eliminate all of my physiological
