Fasting for 72 hours is the best medicine in the world.

It stimulates your body to "eat" tumors, inflammation, and toxins.

It's literally an inner doctor.

This is how to fast properly (according to science): 🧡

Many people think fasting is only for weight loss or to give the digestive system a break.

But the "magic" happens at the cellular level through autophagy.

This is where the body literally begins to devour itself.

Autophagy = cellular cleanup.

During prolonged fasting, cells begin recycling damaged proteins, dysfunctional mitochondria, and even early-stage cancer cells.

The body finally has a chance to eliminate the accumulated waste that has been causing inflammation and disease.

What does science say about fasting?

A 2014 USC study showed that 72-hour fasts triggered the regeneration of white blood cells from stem cells, essentially reactivating the immune system.

It's well known that fasting works for many conditions.

But why? Because...

It addresses a root cause that modern medicine often overlooks:

The accumulation of cellular debris, damaged proteins, and weakened mitochondria causes chronic inflammation.

Removing these allows for natural healing.

Now that you understand the science, here's how to perform a 72-hour fast:

Before you start: Prepare your body (2-3 days before) Start intermittent fasting (16:8 method) at least 3 days before your extended fast. Eat during an 8-hour window and fast for 16 hours. This gradually activates your metabolism to burn fat.

At the same time, reduce carbohydrates and increase healthy fats in the days leading up to the fast.

This begins your body's transition into ketosis even before you begin the full fast.

Good fats to focus on include avocado, olive oil, grass-fed butter, and MCT oil.

Hours 0-24: The Challenge Phase

The first 24 hours are challenging, but manageable.

Your body is shifting to burning fat, which causes hunger, irritability, and energy swings. This is normal and temporary.

Your hunger hormone, ghrelin, begins to stabilize after the first day.

Hours 24-48: The Transition Phase

Around 36 hours, many people report an increase in mental clarity and energy as ketones fuel the brain.

Growth hormone increases by 300%, preserving muscle mass and boosting fat burning.

Fat loss accelerates dramatically.

Hours 48-72: The Healing Phase

The last 24 hours are where the deepest healing occurs.

Chronic joint pain may disappear, along with other positive changes, during this phase.

Mental fogginess dissipates as inflammation subsides.

How to overcome it without suffering?

Drink 2 to 3 liters of pure water a day.

And supplement with electrolytes.

This reduces discomfort.

What can you consume during this 72-hour fast?

β€’ Pure water (still or sparkling)

β€’ Black coffee (no cream or sugar)

β€’ Black tea (herbal or regular)

β€’ Electrolytes (as listed above)

That's it. Purists only drink water.

The most important thing: How to break a fast?

β€’ Start with bone broth.

β€’ Wait an hour and then eat one or two scrambled eggs or avocado.

β€’ Wait another hour before eating a light meal with protein and healthy fats.

β€’ Avoid carbohydrates, sugar, and processed foods for at least 24 hours afterward.

Not eating for 72 hours isn't easy.

The first time is the hardest. The second is challenging, but manageable. By the third, you'll be surprised at how easy it becomes.

Your body learns and adapts, making each subsequent fast more comfortable.

The benefits accumulate.

"Not reading for 72 hours isn't easy...you'll be surprised how easy it becomes"

This is real. I do a 40+ hour fast for Tritium (Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday) each year, and each year it gets easier. At some point, I think I'm hoping to have to make it significantly longer if it is to remain a difficult and efficacious spiritual discipline. I've begun to feel just amazing some holy Saturday afternoon.

It is a mad, mad world, and it has been mad for over a century, but I think perhaps the madness of some has been awakened into the horror of realizing the degree of the madness of all his neighbors.

Case sensitive units already exist with 1 Calorie = 1000 calories and 1MW = 1,000,000,000 mW. I'm not too terribly opposed to it.

I'm a man of principle. I participate as little as possible in the debt-first financial paradigm.

I imagine that repairs the continuity of discontinuities

A hole is a region of discontinuity, and a net is made of an array of holes, so a hole in a net is a region of discontinuity of discontinuities, and we all know the negative of a negative is always positive, thus a hole in a net is a solid section through which nothing may pass.

RSS is all XML over HTTP that lists content. Just like some RSS podcasts have episode thumbnails, but not all RSS clients will interpret it, I'm sure you could convey multiple channels in one URL call, or simply have a separate path for each channel you want to publish, but it depends on the client to interpret it.

May God have mercy on that wretched soul. May that imminent death bring him to his senses, causing him to make public repentance.

Afraid to fully commit. It's the same reaction to the "does God exist" question.

The trick is a simple system of verifiability and ignoring those who work against the rules.

(I call it "simple" because, relative to the conventional system, it is extraordinarily simple and elegant."

Insurance of almost every type, including "extended warranties."

Fractional reserve lending

"Your home is an investment"

Student loans

In that case, I'm totally serious and about to puke at your disgusting behavior

Ideal money is abstract goods, a thing by which all men may contract their labor and trade their goods, and by this labor and trade does money gain value.

To gain money means one has traded it for his goods or has labored for it, but a ruling class has stolen from owners their goods and enslaved otherwise free men by trading not that for which they have labored nor traded but printed, and it our own day and age simply incremented a number in a database.

This is fiat currency, for the ruling class by their fiat declares themselves the holder of what they callmoney. Such a declaration is a lie and theft, and it must be condemned on not only civil grounds but religious and moral.
