(in case of illness, for example). It is possible to cite many examples of autolysis, 
but the ones offered are sufficient to clarify that 
it is a common phenomenon. It remains to be 
said that the body itself manages this process, 
like all other life processes, and that autolysis is 
not an uncontrolled and blind action like an ele-
phant striding through glassware. Fasting practices provide many examples of the 
organism's control over the process of autolysis. For example, it is possible to note that body tis-
sues disappear according to the degree of their 
usefulness: fats and pathological thickenings dis-
appear first and other tissues follow only aft er-
wards. Within all living things, from worms to 
humans, during the fasting period different

their weight. Usually the liver loses more weight 
than other parts of the body, especially in the in-
itial period , and this is due to the loss of glycogen 
and fat. The lungs lose almost no weight and the 
brain and the nervous system even less. Vital or-
gans feed off of accumulated reserves and less 
important tissues, which means that abstinence 
from food can eventually be harmful only after 
the depletion of reserves. The organism has the ability to shift its chemi-
cal component; fasting provides many wonder-
ful examples of this. The assimilation and reor-
ganization of the parts of the organism of living 
beings during a period of food absence, the di-
gestion and the redistribution of the reserves, of 
the superfluous elements and of the secondary 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frtissues observed in all the animals in periods of 
fasting represent one of the most wonderful phe-
nomena in biology. The organism is  not only able to build tissues, 
it is also able to destroy them. It does not only 
distribute its nutritive reserves, but can also re-
distribute them. Autolysis itself makes redistri-
bution possible. The process of autolysis can be 
utilized to obtain great practical advantages and 
can serve, for example, to remove tumors and 
other growths present in the body. Those sub-
stances that are less important in the general 
economy are always captured and removed, 
first. For this reason, when the autolysis process 
is activated, all pathological formations (lipo-
mas, tumors, abscesses, etc.) are reduced and in 
some cases completely removed. All as a result

from food. After a more or less prolonged prac-
tice of fasting many people have freed them-
selves from tumors, which disappeared through 
autolysis (Herbert Shelton talks about it in de-
tail). 8.5. The mechanism of rejuvenation and tis-
sue renewal: apoptosis  
Why is the rejuvenation process of the organ-
ism during a dry fast more powerful than that 
triggered by a water  fast? The fact is that the diseased, degenerate and 
weak cells are unable to cope with the extreme 
conditions imposed by dry fasting. When cells 
live in a comfortable environment they get used 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frto a constant level of nutrients and water. They 
lose the possibility of renewing themselves and 
reinvigorating themselves effectively. It is as if 
they get lazy to trigger the mechanisms of self -
renewal of the tissues. But as soon as food and 
water cease entering the gastrointestinal tract, 
new conditions of existence are established in 
the organism. Under these conditions, the old 
biomolecules are “dismantled”, the unstable 
cells die and decay (and the deficit of energetic 
and plastic substances is offset at their expense). But at the same time new cells are synthesized, 
which are more resistant, and able to survive the 
conditions imposed by the new circumstances. There is another important source that guaran-
tees rejuvenation and "fasting survival": apopto-
sis, a mechanism of programmed cell death. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frMost of the cells in the human body live actively 
for a few years, after that they age and become 
functionally passive; which is the state of fat 
cells. Even colonies of microorganisms have a 
mechanism of "food recycling" of old cells . All 
multicellular organisms use their old cells as a 
source of raw materials and energy, as a source 
of reserves in cases of emergency. When the "food recycling" mechanism under-
goes prolonged inactivity, these old cells can and 
do become a factory of pathological proteins that 
attack their own immune system. These are the 
factors that cause the alteration of central and 
tissue regulation, i.e. they become progenitor 
cells of malignant tumors. So, they must be re-
moved from the body. For millions of years, pe-
riods of forced fasting have been a norm in 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.franimal life. For this reason, for multicellular or-
ganisms the process of elimination of usel ess 
cells, which are structurally or functionally atyp-
ical, has never been a problem. Apoptosis, i.e. programmed cell death, incor-
porated into the genetic apparatus of all multi-
cellular organisms - animals, plants and fungi - 
is a process that is energetically dependent and 
genetically controlled. It is activated by specific 
signals and aims to free the body from weak, use-
less or altered cells. Every day about 5% of the 
cells of the body undergo apoptosis, and new 
cells take their place. During the process of 
apoptosis, the cell disappears without a trace 
within 15 to 120 minutes. Apoptosis is one of the basic mechanisms of 
oncological self -prevention. Excessive apoptotic 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fractivity can cause disorders of cell loss, aplasia 
and degenerative processes as well a s malfor-
mations and tissue defects; while deficient apop-
tosis may imply uncontrolled cell growth, the 
mechanism underlying cancer, autoimmune 
processes and premature aging. For example, 
there are good reasons to believe that excessive 
apoptosis is associat ed with dangerous diseases 
such as aplastic anemia, amyotrophic lateral 
sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, AIDS, etc. During fasting, global changes occur. On the 
one hand, the physiological process of apoptosis 
is reinvigorated: the organism is renewed and r e-
juvenated at the expense of the death of old, sick 
or altered cells. On the other hand, the patholog-
ical mechanisms of apoptosis are eliminated: 
premature aging, neoplasms, etc. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frLet's analyze these mechanisms in detail. Understood as a community of cells,  the organ-
ism during the fast "eats" not only the fat cells, 
but also all the elements that are superfluous, 
morbid or malfunctioning. The continuation of 
the organism’s life is impossible without the self -
cleaning function of its cell populations. Cells i n-
fected with viruses, toxins or damaged by radia-
tion, as well as those that have reached their bio-
logical limit, have one thing in common: they 
have to either leave the organism or be eaten. This happens in nature. In the absence of external feeding, a par ticular 
type of signaling molecule appears within a mul-
ticellular organism. These molecules cause the 
activation of intracellular proteins in the cyto-
plasm of atypical cells. The cells that are not 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frinvolved in the collective activity of the organ-
ism are sensitive and respond to these molecules 
by triggering a self -destructive mechanism: the 
cell "closes" all its programs, its nucleus "con-
tracts" and begins to subdivide. Without de-
stroying its outer envelope the cell subdivides 
into 5 -10 "apoptotic bodies" and is absorbed by 
other cells. This is what happens in a colony of 
microorganisms. Otherwise it is digested in the 
intestine, sharing the fate of fat cells. The phenomenon of apoptosis was discovered 
relatively recently, in 1972, and is considered the 
most  interesting matter of the last 50 years in the 
field of biology and medicine. According to 
modern conceptions, apoptosis is a general bio-
logical mechanism responsible for maintaining a 
constant number of cell populations, as well as 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfor the selection and elimination of defective 
cells. Habitual feeding and ecological pollution 
hinder this physiological mechanism. According to the observations of Russian sci-
entists, the activation of the process of food 
apoptosis occurs after 20 hours of dry fasting 
(strict ly observing the rules for a correct fasting 
practice). When one eats continuously, accord-
ing to the usual food pattern, "caloric garbage" 
becomes the number one problem. It becomes a 
cause of disease and premature aging. "Rescue 
technologies" save life if  you fast, but kill it if we 
are constantly satiated. Australian and American researchers have in-
directly confirmed the benefit of Muslim fasting. They were able to discover the cellular 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frmechanism that explains the link between fast-
ing and longevity in humans and other mam-
mals. Australian scientist David Sinclair and his re-
search team discovered that sirtuins SIRT3 and 
SIRT4, which prolong the life of cells, are acti-
vated during fasting. Scientists had previously 
hypothesized that the work of mitochondria w as 
associated with the organism’s life span. When 
the mitochondria are exhausted, the cell be-
comes vulnerable, apoptosis begins, i.e. the pro-
gram of self -destruction is activated. The signal 
of the beginning of apoptosis is the reduction of 
the amount of the oxidation reduction coen-
zyme NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleo-
tide) in the mitochondria, in the nucleus of the 
cell and in its cytoplasm. An experiment (during 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwhich laboratory animals were forced to fast for 
48 hours) made it possible to establish that in the 
guinea- pig's organism during this period the 
Nampt protein was activated. This protein trig-
gered the synthesis of NAD+ in the cytoplasm, 
which in turn determined the synthesis of the 
enzymes coded by the  SIRT3 and SIRT4 genes. These enzymes favorably influence mitochon-
drial function and energy metabolism in the cell, 
i.e. they delay aging and prevent apoptosis. "If we could maintain a high concentration of 
NAD+ in the mitochondria, able to stimulate the 
SIRT3 and SIRT4 genes, the cell would not n eed 
anything else for a while" - said the study au-
thors, who called this phenomenon "mitochon-
drial oasis hypothesis." It can be assumed that 
there is a molecule capable of influencing the

well as in the SIRT3 a nd SIRT4 genes. Tissue renewal  
Doctor of Biological Sciences Professor L. V. 
Polezhayev15, the most prominent specialist in 
animal limb regeneration, who developed a 
method of recovering lost limbs, tails, i.e., in am-
phibians, writes:  
 
15 Polezhayev L. V. (1910 -2000), was a Soviet and Russian biolo-
gist, author of important books about limb regeneration: Stimul-
yatsiya regeneratsiyi myshchtsii serdtsa (Stimulation of heart mus-
cle regene ration) – Moscow, 1965; Utrata i vosstanovleniye regen-
eratsionnoy sposobnosti organov i tkaney u zhivotnykh (Loss and

conditions), Moscow 1986. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr“Fasting is a process of intensified physiologi-
cal regeneration, renewal of all cells, their molec-
ular and chemical makeup. Interestingly, the bi-
ochemical changes during fasting and reparative 
regeneration are very similar. In both cases, 
there are two phases: destruction and  recovery. In both cases, the destruction phase is character-
ized by the prevalence of decomposition of pro-
tein and nucleic acids over their synthesis, shift 
of pH to acidity, acidosis and more. The recov-
ery phase in both cases as well is characterized 
by the prevalence of synthesis of nucleic acids 
over their decomposition, and a return of pH to 
its neutral state. From the teaching on regenera-
tion, we know that the amplification of the de-
struction phase leads to the amplification of the 
recovery phase. Ther efore, with sufficient 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfoundation, we can consider fasting a natural 
stimulatory factor of physiological regeneration. At the basis of fasting there is a biological pro-
cess, which leads to the renewal and rejuvena-
tion of the tissues of the whole body.”  
 
 However, new cells grow especially intensively 
during the recovery period. Similar renewal hap-
pens in other organs and tissues, which is why 
fasting is an ‘universal doctor’. No surgeon can 
remove specific affected tumor or ulcer cells, 
while preserving healthy adjacent cells and not 
compromising tissue integrity. This is how pre-
cisely hunger, the great physician, heals. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr8.6. Youth and quality of life extension  
Everyone familiar with dry fasting or even with 
just water  fasting sees numerous examples of 
phys ical rejuvenation achieved during fasting. Physical improvements are usually accompa-
nied by mental ones. Sometimes hearing is re-
stored in people who have been deaf for many 
years. Eyesight becomes so acute that those who 
have been wearing glasses for years , don’t need 
them anymore (sight restoration in blind people 
is extremely rare), the sense of smell and taste 
perception become keener, in case of sensory 
nerve paralysis, sensory perception gets re-
stored, a burst of energy may be observed, men-
tal capacity  increases, weight decreases, the 
body’s functional activity becomes more intense, 
eyes become clear and sparkling, complexion 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frimproves and freshness and rosy glow, which are 
characteristic of youth, are restored, facial wrin-
kles disappear, blood pressure decreases, heart 
performance improves, the enlarged prostate 
decreases in size, sexual rejuvenation takes place 
— these processes, which are the evidence of re-
juvenation, may be observed by everybody who 
has practiced fasting or is familiar with this 
probl em. It is as if fasting creates conditions for 
a rebirth, a revitalization of the organism. At that 
time, all the cells in the body are cleansed, for-
eign substances (metaplasmatic materials) are 
removed from the cell protoplasm, so that the 
cells are rejuv enated and start to function more 
effectively. Some of these foreign materials are highly toxic 
and accumulated long ago in the fatty cells and 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthe connective tissue cells, figuratively called the 
organism’s landfill, that’s why it’s necessary to 
remove them from the circulation and metabolic 
processes in the body. When the tissues get rid 
of these materials, it increases the effectiveness 
of the physiological mechanism. Along with the 
renewal of the body due to fasting, a certain po-
tential is also created,  which ensures improved 
body function after the fast is complete. Wear and damage, repair and replenishment 
are continuous and almost synchronous pro-
cesses in all living organisms. Something is cre-
ated, and something is destroyed. Both of these 
processes a re called metabolism, the production 
is called anabolism and the destruction – catab-
olism. Catabolism prevails during periods of 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fractivity, anabolism – during periods of rest and 
sleep. Anabolism is the process of repairing the body, 
when it gets a new burst of energy and prepares 
for new activities. This process is dominant dur-
ing the period of active growth and it slows 
down somewhat during aging. It is established that fasting accelerates metab-
olism, and after the end of a fast the anabolic or 
construc tive phase develops intensively. Thus, 
one can say that a general cleansing of the body 
renews the constructive processes of life. It is 
true that under experimental conditions this im-
provement in life processes is brief. However, in 
most cases this happens because the researchers 
can’t manage to bring their patients back (on the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frpatients’ demand) to anything but their usual 
lifestyle after fasting. A person’s age is the duration of their life. The 
term ‘age’ denotes several different aspects of 
life: level  of a person’s development (physiologi-
cal age), level of mental development (psycho-
logical age), etc. Any other term or expression 
signifying nothing else but chronological age 
brings vagueness and confusion of age with the 
condition of the body or the ext ent of its growth 
and development. When we say that one person is old at 40, and 
another is young at 70, we actually mean their 
physical and mental state, and not their age. A 
suggestion to use the expression “functional age” 
when discussing an individual ’s state, rather 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthan their date of birth, is based on this confu-
sion as well. It is true that the date of birth tells us nothing 
about the state of a given organism or about the 
extent of its mental development. These factors 
are only indirectly connected to age and are not 
its important components. A 70 -year-old can be 
young according to their physical and mental 
state, and a 40 -year-old can be old, languid and 
depressed. And yet the first person is already 70, 
while the second is only 40. Knowing this, we 
can ignore the widespread assertion, that ‘we’re 
trying to turn back time’. The age -related 
changes happening in the organism that are 
called ageing, aren’t so much linked to the pass-
ing of time, as to the factors, absolutely unrelated 
to time per se. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frIf there were a causal link to ageing, then a per-
son at 70 should have all the indications of old 
age, inherent in this period of life, and a person 
at 40 – all the indications of youth, found at this 
age. The fact that the case is often the opposit e 
makes us doubt the assumption that the state of 
the body is irreversibly linked with the number 
of years lived. We shouldn’t find it difficult to 
understand that although age is expressed in 
time, time isn’t the cause of the ageing process. For example, let’s take a stone being washed by 
water. It changes over time, but it’s not time that 
polishes it, it’s water. The ageing process re-
quires time, but time isn’t the cause of polishing. Two stones, polished by water in the to the 
same extent, abrade at different speeds, depend-
ing on their hardness and density. Due to the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frsame reason, two people under the influence of 
identical destructive factors age at a different 
speed, depending on their individual resistance 
to the destructive factors. A stone abrades faster or slower depending on 
the amount of water flowing around it: if it’s 
small, the stone abrades slowly, if there’s a lot of 
water, the abrasion happens faster. A person also 
ages fast or slowly depending on the number of 
destructive influences this person is affected by. Let’s expand our example somewhat: let’s im-
agine a self -restoring rock. At first it was being 
polished by water, then the water stopped wash-
ing it. The rock begins ‘repairing’ itself and re-
storing the larger part of the lost matter. In the 
human body, a natural process will take place 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr(because the organism is self -repairing), when 
the causes of ageing are eliminated. The body is capable of destroying some of the 
damaged structures, replacing them with fresh 
ones, and renewing the cells  by dumping the 
‘loads’ accumulated in them and ‘repairing’ their 
damaged parts. Figuratively speaking, the hu-
man body can actively handle its business on its 
own in a constructive manner. Humans can live longer and better than they do 
now. They should liv e much longer than now, 
and enjoy absolute health and energy. They 
shouldn’t waste away at 60 or earlier. But in fact, 
excluding deaths from accidents and homicides, 
people die from diseases. If we lived in a way that 
prevented the development of diseases,  not only 
could we live longer than what’s considered 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frnormal now, but we could also preserve our 
physical and mental powers. Aging is defined as an ‘accumulation of 
changes in the organism, increasing the proba-
bility of death of a given individual over th e 
course of time.’ This simply means that aging is 
a slow accumulation of pathological (unhealthy) 
changes in the organs and tissues, injuries in the 
structures of the body and a slow deterioration 
of its vital functions. Old age is just another 
chronic disease. And this is the reason why we 
can age sooner or later, and some people at sev-
enty look younger than some 40 -year-olds. Aging happens over time, but time is not its 
cause. Consequently, it doesn’t matter, what 
method we should use to precisely determ ine 
human physiological age, what matters is that we 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfound and figured out the causes that lead to ag-
ing. Eliminate the cause of aging, and let the 
physiological age take care of itself. Nobody 
knows for sure what the changes of the organism 
leading to agi ng are, or what sort of changes they 
are exactly. Let’s examine the experiments of a 
well- known French scientist Dr. Alexis Carrel16, 
author of the book Man, The Unknown . Keeping 
separate fragments of a chicken heart alive over 
the course of many years, he  found out that they 
aged, unless they got rid of the waste accumu-
lated in their cells. In other words, they aged 
 
16Alexis Carrel  (1873 – 1944) was a French surgeon and biologist 
who was awarded the  Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine  in 
1912 for pioneering vascular   suturing  techniques. He wrote the 
book Man, The Unknown. New York and London: Harper and 
Brothers, 1939. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frbecause of the accumulation of waste produced 
by their own metabolism in the culture medium 
where they were placed. If this waste was regu-
larly removed, preventing the cells from getting 
poisoned by it, the chicken heart didn’t age. This 
is very important proof that aging is the result of 
chronic saturation with toxic substances. Unfor-
tunately, the important discovery attracted too 
little attent ion, perhaps, because a way to use it 
was not discovered. Carrel’s experiments and many other similar 
ones helped scientists conclude that cells are po-
tentially immortal. In their normal state, they 
keep dividing over and over again, but they 
don't’ die. Death turns out to be an abnormal 
phenomenon. Nevertheless, under the regular 
life conditions we observe that cells actually age 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frand die in great numbers. In order to extend life 
indefinitely, all the conditions have to be favora-
ble. If cells are potential ly immortal, as scientists 
currently think, and the body as a system gets 
older, then it’s obvious that one of two things is 
true. Either the functional specialization of cell 
groups / body organs is mismatched, or there’s 
no coordination of cell groups in  the organism. Perhaps, both of these factors are true. If one or 
both of these assumptions are true, this poses a 
question:  is the discrepancy of specialization or 
the discrepancy of coordination a primary (ini-
tial) condition of life or is it (the mismat ch) a re-
sult of established and resolvable causes? If it’s a 
primary condition, then we cannot hope to pre-
vent the aging process for more than a short 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frperiod of time, as it usually begins quite early. But if it’s induced by causes that can be avoided 
or el iminated, which seems likely enough, then 
we’re capable of doing a lot to prevent aging. At least countless experiments on many lower 
forms of life have demonstrated that it’s not only 
possible to delay the aging process for an infi-
nitely long time, but also to reverse it, restoring 
youth. For more than 15 years, professor C. M. Child17 
from the University of Chicago researched ani-
mal ageing. His results revealed that periodical 
fasting usually promotes bodily rejuvenation. 17 Charles Manning Child  (1869 – 1954) was an American zoologist 
noted for his work on regeneration (especially 
on Coelenterates  and flatworm s) at the  University of Chicago . Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frIn his research of some insect species, he found 
out that, when given abundant food, the insects’ 
life lasted for 3 -4 weeks, but if the amount of 
food was decreased or the insects were forced to 
fast, they would stay active and young for at least 
3 years. Here’s his conclusion: “Partial fasting 
prevents aging. The fasting person is transferred 
from mature age to initial postembryonic stage, 
he is almost born again.”  
Child pointed out that in the organic world re-
juvenation is nothing but a normal cell renewal 
process. This process is conti nuous throughout 
the life of any organism. Similar research was conducted by the employ-
ees of the Institute of Physiology of the National 
Academy of Sciences of Ukraine. Through the 
introduction of a special dietary regimen, they

for three -months -olds. English biologist Clive 
McCay18 achieved a 1.5 -fold life extension in 
mice, by means of two days a week without food, 
and decreasing food intake by a third allowed the 
mice to live twice as long. Interesting experiments on animal rejuvena-
tion were conducted by a remarkable physician 
Suren Arakelyan19. According to his data, aged 
 
18 Clive Maine McCay  (1898 —1967) was an American  biochem-
ist, nutritionist , gerontologist , and professor of  animal hus-
bandry at Cornell University  from 1927 -1963 . His main interest was 
the influence of nutrition on aging. He is best known for his work 
in proving that  caloric restriction  increases the life span of rats, 
which is seen as seminal in triggering further research and experi-
ments in the field of nutrition and longevity. (from Internet)

their bodies – more graceful and slender. Here’s 
a photograph that Suren Arakelyan has kept 
since his experiment. There are two aged layer 
hens in his arms. The hens were sisters. One 
fasted, the other didn’t. After the photo was 
taken, the gluttonous sister lived for only a 
month, while the rejuvenated hen lived for six 
more years. It was definitely surprising: out of 
1000 birds written -off because of their age, 910 
laid an egg every day. And not just an egg! The 
egg weighed 68 grams, while the one laid by a 
pullet weighed only 48 grams. The biochemical

better, too. There was a fear that hunger will lead 
the birds to their death, but they, on the con-
trary, began living much longer: for 18 years, on 
average, instead of the 6 allotted by nature. The 
species’ lifespan was exten ded threefold. A 
chicken named Krasavitsa reached a fantastic 
age of 21. Proportionately, for a human this age 
would equal 240 – 250 years. After chickens, Arakelyan started working with 
bulls belonging to a high -priced breed. Their 
youth is short, lasting only four years. And then 
they become meat. The bulls went on a fast, but 
they took a complex stress -relieving drug. It was 
stress -relieving because normal hunger induces 
a distressed, restless state in animals. Taking 
these substances, the bulls as though didn't 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frnotice the hunger. This went on for twenty days. The bulls grew thin, having lost 15 -20 % of their 
fat mass, but those were temporary losses, the 
weight soon came back, and with it came specific 
reproductive capabilities. This allows to con-
clude that when fasting is employed during the 
month -long rest once a year, bulls’ life expec-
tancy grows threefold! Inability to preserve youth is caused by factors 
that interfere with the perfect process of renewal. Any elimination of these interfering factors at 
any age leads to a shift – to renewal and youth. However, it should be acknowledged that there 
are clear limits to human rejuvenating capabili-
ties. Irreversible changes may occur in the tis-
sues of the human body, and any efforts to elim-
inate them are ak in to efforts to grow a new leg

some of them are very complex organisms, pos-
sess the ability to grow new members or internal 
organs (even new heads, brains and eyes); their 
rejuvenating capabilities are substantially wider 
than those of highly developed organisms. But a 
human can be rejuvenated to a greater degree 
than we had previously thought. Up until now, 
we can agree that the larger is the number and 
the degree of pathological changes that have oc-
curred in the human body, the smaller is its ca-
pability of restoring youth. However, I don’t 
think that the greatest possibilities of rejuvena-
tion by means of fasting are of interest only to 
people of both sexes in their advanced age. Fast-
ing is also extremely im portant to younger peo-
ple as a means of reversing the aging process, 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fralthough their aging is slowed down. If we can 
use fasting to prevent destructive processes in 
the vital organs by periodically freeing the or-
ganism of its toxic load and providing these or-
gans with the much -needed rest. then we will be 
able to achieve a much more prolonged effect in 
aging prevention than in searching for the ways 
to rejuvenate the organism. When I began working at the Goryachinsk 
health resort, the nurse brought me the case rec-
ords of the patients that were to have an appoint-
ment with me. When I was looking through 
them, one drew my attention. The patient was 80 
years old, his diagnosis was deforming coxar-
throsis of the hip and knee joints. Well, I was 
wondering to myself how he was going to get 
there, and what treatment I could possibly 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frprescribe to him at this age. Subsequently, a slim, 
youthful man of about 50 came to me for an ap-
pointment and said that he’d just been swim-
ming in Baikal (it was November) and it was 
great . When I asked for his name, it turned out 
he was that 80 -year-old ‘grandpa’. My surprise 
knew no bounds. I asked him at once, “ What 
about your sore joints?” “Oh, I forgot all about 
them a long time ago, doctor, and the diagnosis in 
my rehabilitation and health resort card form is 
there so that I can go to the health resort .” I was 
very interested to know how he had achieved 
these amazing results in the treatment of his dis-
ease and rejuvenation of his body. Here’s his 
story:  
“My problems began after I turne d 50, I started 
having pains in my hip joints when moving, it 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frbecame difficult to get up. My knee joints subse-
quently began bothering me, too. I underwent all 
kinds of treatment and went to all kinds of health 
resorts. Granted, I felt somewhat better after  go-
ing to health resorts, but at some point, the pain 
came back. I realized that if I didn’t cardinally 
change something in my life, I would become 
fully disabled and immobilized. I began collect-
ing information, talking to people with the same 
diagnosis, w ho had improved their health by 
natural means. At that time, there was practically 
no information on body cleansing or fasting. I 
learned about liver cleansing from a talented 
healer from a neighboring village. I’d known 
about fasting since childhood, beca use my 
grandmother had rigidly observed the fast — 
only water and nothing else. I cleansed my liver 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frand gradually began conducting fasts. I felt bet-
ter after a ten -day fast, my joints were hurting 
less, my capacity for movement increased. After 
that I star ted walking more. Once after a walk I 
had bad swelling in my left knee and horrible 
pain. I thought that if I tried fasting without wa-
ter, then my swelling would come down faster. To my surprise, the pain and the swelling went 
away on the third day, which had never hap-
pened during water  fasting. The first time I dry 
fasted for five days. Of course, it was harder than 
a water  fast, but the results and the effect of dry 
fasting impressed me. I realized that you can 
achieve better results in a shorter period of time. After that, I only fasted dry. Every week I dry 
fasted for a day, and two times a year – for seven. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frWith great effort and with the help of the 
knowledge I had received from other people’s 
experience, I achieved a full cure from coxar-
throsis of the hip joints. Last year I celebrated my 80th birthday as a 
practically healthy man. Reaching this age, which seemed improbable 
and inaccessible 30 years ago, not only became a 
reality, but a reality full of joy and happiness. The tests that I conducted and my test results 
show that I’m not only healthy, but also that for 
me the age of 80 isn’t the time of decrepit old age 
and suffering from ailments, on the contrary, it’s 
the time of a normal life of a person looking for-
ward to the future. (... ). Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frTo support the due level of health, I first and 
foremost take care of my moral health, and mon-
itor my nutrition regime, which rich in cereals, 
vegetables, fruit, without salt or solid fats, and 
maintain a high level of physical activity, but the 
most important thing is systemic dry fasting.”  
Subsequently, this unique example influenced 
me greatly, affecting my decision to introduce 
dry fasting into my practice. One of the striking examples of the miracle of 
fasting is the author of the homonymous book 
Paul Bragg20. He tragically died surfing the ocean 
 
20 Paul Chappuis Bragg  (1895 – 1976) was an American  alterna-
tive health  food advocate and fitness enthusiast. He wrote on sub-
jects such as  detoxification , dieting , fasting , longevity , natural hy-
giene  and physical culture . His books are very popular in Russia. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwaves at the age of 95 and remained healthy until 
his very death. Perhaps, one day doctors will accept fasting as 
a powerful natural method of body rejuvenation, 
which is in many ways superior to manipula-
tions with stem cells or expensive plastic surgery. It’s important to understand that any effective 
rejuvenation of the body is the result of internal 
strength and processes working under favorable 
conditions, and not of forcible states induced by 
exotic actions. Health restoration, in other 
words, termination of the pathological state and 
rejuvenation are the same process. If we could see fasting as a method that gives 
the body an opportunity to not only free itself of 
the load of accumulated toxins, but also  from the 
burden of accumulated anomalous changes in its

for the purposes of rejuvenation with enormous 
success. 8.7. Preventive mechanism: protection 
against radiation, adverse environmental fac-
tors, preve ntion of oncological diseases   
Why does fasting protect from radiation and 
why are fasts held on designated days? In order 
to answer this question comprehensively, we 
are going to begin with what seems an entirely 
different topic — how does radiation damag e 
our organism? Radiation is a powerful flow of 
energy which, when penetrating the organs, 
cannot be assimilated by the cells because of its 
power and causes a phenomenon of ionization 
in them. Ionization is the tearing off of atoms 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frand molecules caused by  the impact of the par-
ticles. As a result, a mass of radicals is formed in 
the cells. A radical is an extremely biologically 
active fragment of a molecule which combines 
with DNA molecules and blocks their biological 
properties, which start to damage its genetic ap-
paratus. Then a breakdown of the DNA and 
RNA double helix takes place. As soon as that 
happens, and it usually happens in the quickly 
dividing cells of the gastrointestinal tract, the 
cells stop dividing and start being destroyed as 
foreign by the  organism’s own immune system. A destructive process develops in the tissues. Such micro -holes created by the aforemen-
tioned process are easily penetrated by infec-
tions (which are numerous in the gastrointesti-
nal tract) and then sepsis begins, leading to t he 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frorganism’s death. Scientists conducted a series 
of interesting experiments on rats. One group 
of rats was exposed to radiation or fed food con-
taining radionucleotides, and then starved. For 
comparison purposes, a group of absolutely 
healthy animals was starved, too. A physiologi-
cal period of starvation for rats is 12 days. All 
animals in the healthy control group died after 
this period, but the irradiated rats lived for 24 
days, started to look even better than before, 
and had no intention of dying. The researchers 
had to kill the rats and thoroughly analyzed 
their tissues, as a result of which they found out 
that the rats looked excellent, as young, healthy 
animals, and had no radioactive damage! Why 
does this happen? It turns out, when fasting 
during ad vanced biosynthesis, the body needs 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frenergy, and the radiation that was inassimilable 
before, now is fully expended on this. The bad 
turns into good! A number of other mecha-
nisms that protect the organism from radiation 
during hunger were discovered at the same 
time. Here they are:  
1. The body restores the cells’ membranes by 
increasing alcohol production. Restoration of 
the cells’ membranes is nothing but a rein-
forcement of cellular barriers. As a result, 
subsequent exposure to radiation will have a 
less pronounced damaging effect on the cells. 2. Increased carbon dioxide content in the cells 
decreases the ionization caused by exposure 
to radiation. 3. The quickly dividing cells of the gastrointes-
tinal tract, which suffer the most from 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frradiation, abruptly slow down their division. After all, they’re forced to divide quickly be-
cause they’re affected by their own digestive 
enzymes, get damaged and desquamate. The 
organism, owing to high speed of division of 
these cells, restores the stomach and intesti-
nal walls. This do esn’t happen during fasting. The gastrointestinal tract cells rest, and the 
energy previously spent on accelerated divi-
sion is now used for restoring internal struc-
tures, repairing torn DNA and RNA helices. This is also facilitated by enhanced biosyn-
thesis  inside the cell because of the fixation of 
carbon dioxide in it, which doesn’t happen 
during regular food intake. Owing to that, 
they don’t die, don’t get rejected by their own 
organism, and when the body switches to 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frregular food intake, they divide as if  nothing 
had happened and perform their former 
functions to the full extent. But during regu-
lar food intake, these two processes of divi-
sion and restoration of the inner structures of 
the cell can’t be carried out fully, and radia-
tion further exacerbates i t.  
4. According to practical research, radiation 
and radionucleotides are removed from the 
human body in just 12 -14 days of water  fast-
ing or 5 -7 days of dry fasting. This makes a 
person lose much less weight than during a 
normal fast. As a result of the afor emen-
tioned processes, that occur during fasting, 
the problems of radioactive exposure are 
completely solved. And indeed, after

cided to employ fasting in treating people 
stricken by acute radiation sickness (when u l-
cers appear in the gastrointestinal tract). Bone marrow transplantation and use of

less in such cases, but thanks to fasting, the 
affected people restored their health. For the

options proved to be powerless! And it’s no 
wonder, since these treatment options are the 
fruit of artificial conclusions, while fasting is 
a natural process t hat has nothing in com-
mon with them. After this introduction, let’s pass on to the 
main question — why are fasts conducted at spe-
cific times of the year? If we combine the dates 
when fasts are conducted and astrological signs, 
then we’ll see that three out  of the four fasts fall 
on ‘Fire Signs’. The Nativity Fast (40 days) falls 
on Sagittarius. Great Lent (48 days) falls on Ar-
ies. The Uspensky Fast (14 days) fall on Leo. The 
length of the Apostles’ Fast is not constant and 
varies between 8 and 42 days. This  variation is 
caused by adjustment to natural rhythms. In 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fryears of the active sun, when there’s a lot of en-
ergy, its duration increases. In cold years, on the 
contrary, the length of this fast shortens. There’s 
no ad -libbing — everything happens according 
to nature’s laws. In the above -mentioned peri-
ods, an increased amount of energy reaches the 
Earth from space. This energy, which works like 
radioactive energy, can disrupt the organism’s 
function. Remember A. L. Chizhevsky’s22 work 
The Earthly Echo of the Solar Storms,  and a lot 
will be clarified immediately. 22 Alexander Leonidovich Chizhevsky  (1897 – 1964) was a  So-
viet-era interdisciplinary  scientist, a  biophysicist  who founded " he-
liobiology " (study of the sun's effect on biology) and "aero -ioniza-
tion" (study of effect of ionization of air on biological en tities). He 
also was noted for his work in  "cosmo- biology" , biological 
rhythms  and hematology . Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frIf you fast during this time, then cosmic energy 
and an increased amount of solar energy will go 
towards creation, intensifying biosynthesis. If 
you still continue eating, then the energy won’t 
assimil ate and will cause damage to your cells, 
and free radicals will inhibit the cell’s function, 
undermining the living potential of the whole 
organism. But at the same time, bacteria and vi-
ruses convert to active state and successfully at-
tack the weakened org anism due to the abun-
dance of energy. It is exactly at this time that flu 
(spring and the beginning of winter) and cholera 
(summer) epidemics may be observed all over 
the world. In years of active sun, these processes 
are of such a pronounced nature, that in the 
Middle Ages the majority of the European pop-
ulation died out because of it! You can fast

nation of increased natural energy and fasting 
produces the best effect, activating the ‘fire prin-
ciple’, which is  suppressed during fasting. An-
cient sages took absolutely everything into ac-
count and gave the best recommendations, we 
only have to follow them. Protection against adverse environmental 
factors  
Along with our own toxins, which are pro-
duced inside the organism, the toxic substances 
from the chemicals that have infested our daily 
lives, from our poisoned atmosphere, from our 
water and our food, are removed from the body 
during fasting. However, this was to be expected. In our environmental conditions, it’s impossible 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frto not consider these facts. But fasting also pro-
duces an excellent preventive effect. For a long 
time after the end of a dry fast, the highest pro-
tective potential is maintained, durin g periodic 
fasting a person becomes almost invulnerable to 
nitrates, phenols, sulphur dioxide and nuclear 
power stations. Prevention of oncological diseases  
When I was studying calorie restriction therapy 
with Professor Y. S. Nikolayev, he told me about 
a curious experiment. Students of Stavropol 
Medical Institute divided 120 white rats into 4 
groups. The first group was the control group, and the 
remaining three were subjected to a 3 -day-long 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfast. The first of these three were inoculated with 
sarcoma before the fast, the second — during the 
fast, and the third — after it. All the control 
group members who hadn’t fasted, died. Half of 
the 30 animals that had been inoculated with 
sarcoma before the experiment a half died, out 
of the 30 ones that had been injected during the 
fasting a third did. All those who have been in-
jected after the fasting survived. As I’ve already 
written, during dry fasting the strongest, most 
viable cells survive, that’s why even short -term 
dry fasts are a serious preventive t reatment 
against malignant tumors. Another marvelous 
impact of fasting was recorded by American sci-
entists. They studied the impact of fasting on the 
development of severe forms of cancer. The ani-
mals were divided into two groups — the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frexperimental group and the control group. The 
rats in the control group were subjected to radi-
ation. The dose was chosen so that it wouldn’t 
cause a quick death, but 2 -3 weeks after the irra-
diation every member of the group had blood 
cancer. The experimental group was luckier . Prior to irradiation, the animals underwent a full 
fast. You may think that the organism weakened 
by fasting should react even more acutely to this 
negative influence, and the sickness should be 
more severe. But the results were exactly the op-
posite! Com pared to the control group, the ex-
perimental group had 70 % fewer sick rats. 8.8. Renewal of the organism’s energy  
As I’ve already written, water is one of the best 
carrier of energy information. This is achieved 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthrough water’s unique molecular compositi on 
and variability of its cluster structure. It was also 
proven by scientists that, long before any symp-
toms of illness appear, local areas of ‘heavy’ wa-
ter, water with irregular structure, or  pathologi-
cal zones, are formed in the human organism. Any kind of evil eye, hex or just people’s envy, 
in short, all the negative energy is located in 
these pathological zones. During dry fasting the 
old ‘dead’ water is replaced with high -quality, 
energetically renewed, ‘live’ water, synthesized 
by the body itself. Dry fasting is, first and foremost, intense spir-
itual work, intended to clean the soul and body 
of the essences feeding off them, which also 
strengthens will power and the power of positive 
thinking in the initial stage of evolution. Dry 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfasting evenly burns everything unfit for its evo-
lution in terms of both mechanics and spirit us-
ing all the organs of the body. The reason is that 
after at least 7 -10 days, negative energy essences, 
sensing their death in the absence of food, start 
to come out of you, since they can’t stand dry 
fasting and positive vibrations radiating from 
you. Especially if you support all this with posi-
tive actions. Dry fasting gives you a reserve of 
energy. It seems unbelievable: how can a person 
not eat anything, spend their energy, but  still 
have increased energy levels? But there’s no par-
adox. When the body is devoid of organic food, 
it begins to intensely consume subtle energy 
from space and the environment. With transi-
tion to normal nutrition, the hyper -restoration 
effect comes into action — the body starts to 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frcollect energy more intensely than it did prior to 
fasting, luckily it has all the relevant capabilities 
at that point. After all, thanks to fasting the chak-
ras are cleansed along with the energy channels, 
which lots of abilitie s depend on. After the end 
of a fast, the time of sleep decreases to 4 -5 hours, 
a person literally gains strength, they’re boiling 
over with energy. This remarkable state lasts for 
a long time if a person eats healthy, exercises and 
spends time outdoors. Special effects  
Here are the gifts which everybody receives 
from dry fasting along with the cure from the ill-
nesses that had tormented them for a long time, 
and which (not a single one of them!) are, of

calming of the whole body. • First of all, the general perception abilities are 
greatly increased —  tactile, skin sensitivity 
and the sense of smell are heightened, which 
produces interesting effects. You’ll be able to 
feel through the shop window, to sense the  
taste of the foods there, to know that a certain 
egg in fridge is already not fresh, to remotely 
perceive that there’s something wrong with the 
food, which can actually just turn out to be an 
excess of preservatives. In pronounced cases of 
perception incr ease you’ll have no problems 
guessing the contents of a tin with no label on 
it. • During fasting, sweat secretion almost stops 
— the skin turns from a secretor to an 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frabsorber, at the same time when in contact 
with a substance, not only does it start to be 
absorbed, but you can also feel the taste of the 
substance in your mouth. Thus, if you have 
to cook food for others during your fast, you 
can determine ‘by touch’, if there’s enough 
salt in the soup. But I wouldn’t advise you to 
knead dough, the oil will be  absorbed by your 
hands, rather than by the food. • A person’s intuition increases intensely dur-
ing dry fasting. Just like a cat, one may begin 
feeling pathological or, on the contrary, heal-
ing energetic zones. Interestingly, they’re 
different for every pers on 
• Sometimes people develop telepathic abili-
ties, they begin to understand each other 
without words. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• Those who fast regularly notice that fasting 
enhances willpower. Iron -strong determina-
tion is undoubtedly necessary for achieving 
success in any difficult undertaking. A 24 -
hour abstinence from food makes a person 
mentally stronger and prepares them for 
making a prudent choice and then acting 
with firm determination. • Fasting awakens the (often lost) sense of how 
much food and water a person really needs to 
sustain their life. During abstinence from 
food, a person experiences certain suffering. On the one hand, it naturally develops com-
passion for others suffering from hunger, 
with barely enough to sustain oneself. Only 
after having the same experience yoursel f, 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fryou can genuinely understand the suffering 
of the poor and wretched. • If you were sensitive to cold, often came 
down with the flu, your feet were cold and, 
consequently, you couldn’t fall asleep for a 
long time — after dry fasting you will become 
resist ant to cold. • If you had grey hair and it was falling out, af-
ter fasting it will become thicker and regain 
its color. • If you had poor vision, it often improves after 
a dry fast. • If the whites of your eyes were yellow, they 
will become clear white. • If you snored during sleep, your breathing 
will become even and silent, you will stop 
grinding teeth in your sleep. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• If you suffered from bad mouth odor, your 
breath will become clean and odorless. • If you were bothered by morning bitterness 
in the mouth, the taste  in the mouth will al-
ways be sweet and fresh. • Yellow plaque on teeth disappears. They be-
come pearl -white. • If your teeth were loose (paradontosis), they 
will sit in the gums more firmly. • If you had a persistently runny nose, fasting 
completely cures this pr oblem. • If you had hypertension (or hypotension), 
your blood pressure comes back to normal. • Insomnia vanishes and deep wholesome 
sleep is restored. • Sexual activity increases and grows stronger. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• A person becomes 10 -15 years younger 
working-efficiency- wise. Of course, many health benefits listed here can 
be achieved by any kind of fasting, but during 
dry fasting they can be achieved more effectively 
and within shorter timeframes. 9. How to properly prepare your body 
for dry fasting? NOTE: ! Never conduct dry fasting without 
trying water  fasting first ! 9.1. Bowel cleansing . Introduction  
You might believe that preliminary cleansing 
was invented by all those boring theorists who 
don’t understand that people who want to fast 
have job s, and are therefore busy. Thus, you start 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfasting completely unprepared. Inside the colon, 
which ends with the anus, in the pockets of the 
colon hides a greenish, clay -like substance with 
a very unpleasant smell, which is called fecal 
stones. It is very hard to rinse out just with water 
and over the years it can grow so bulky that it 
blocks the passage in the colon, requiring painful 
surgery in order to clean out these stones. In 
some especially neglected cases, up to 25 kilo-
grams of these stones are taken  out of the pa-
tient’s colon. To be sure, such fasting, without 
bowel cleansing, has few benefits. First of all, you 
feel strong hunger during fasting all the time. That’s because fecal masses, fecal stones, and the 
juice produced by them, which is being ab sorbed 
by the body from the bowels during fasting, poi-
son you once and for all. Furthermore, when

begin coming out of a fast, you once again per-
fect your fasting  technique and immediately eat 
as much as you can hold. Naturally, when a person stops eating, eventu-
ally they start having a cleansing crisis, which is 
accompanied by unpleasant sensations, and the 
fasting person believes they’re already dying 
from not eating and succumb to panic, starting 
to eat again. When toxins leave the body, which always hap-
pens during fasting, you may experience un-
pleasant sensations, weakness and pain in some 
parts of the body. That’s why a person who’s ig-
norant about fasting may f eel that their body is 
being irreparably destroyed during fasting. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frColoproctologists say jokingly: the organism is 
essentially an upgraded intestinal canal. And, to 
be fair, they aren’t really exaggerating the im-
portance of this organ. After all, it is in the intes-
tinal canal that all the vital digestive processes 
take place. The majority of the substances necessary for 
the body is absorbed through the intestinal walls. It turns out that a person’s health directly de-
pends on the state of their bowels. But a n irreg-
ular, unbalanced diet leads to waste accumulat-
ing on the intestinal walls. These dense deposits 
impede the absorption of nutrients, produce 
toxins, disturb intestinal peristalsis. As a result, 
a person often experiences weakness, irritability, 
const ipation, skin breakouts, weight problems. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frOrgan function is hindered, which threatens 
with serious ailments. Out of all bowel segments, the large intestine is 
especially susceptible to toxin accumulation. Since the gastrointestinal tract is rich in its own 
endocrine ‘taps’, which change their activity un-
der the influence of changes, related to metabo-
lism in the bowels, this system in our body pri-
marily provides normal regulation of metabolic 
processes, their correspondence with metabolic 
and adaptive cha nges. And, of course, all these 
systems are dominated by the nervous system, 
which controls the overall coordination of all the 
systems’ activities. That’s why it’s quite appropriate that diseases 
of organs and systems that, at first sight, are un-
related to the bowels, during their course are

ticular, a decrease in its barrier function. In this 
case, the ejection of intestinal toxins into the 
blood and lymph of the sick organism increases, 
which substantially in creases the accumulation 
of endotoxins in the organism and leads to the 
development of endotoxicosis — accumulation 
of toxic substances in tissue and intracellular 
fluid. These substances can affect the flow of 
metabolic processes in the cell, disturb the regu-
lation of bioprocesses. Digestive tract diseases 
can create more than 100 different complica-
tions: food allergy, eczema, arthritis, spondylitis, 
schizophrenia… The list goes on. According to scientists, in cases of chronic in-
testinal diseases one of th e causes of internal or-
gans and systems pathology may be linked to the

or change in intestinal wall permeability.

(in case of illness, for example). It is possible to cite many examples of autolysis, 
but the ones offered are sufficient to clarify that 
it is a common phenomenon. It remains to be 
said that the body itself manages this process, 
like all other life processes, and that autolysis is 
not an uncontrolled and blind action like an ele-
phant striding through glassware. Fasting practices provide many examples of the 
organism's control over the process of autolysis. For example, it is possible to note that body tis-
sues disappear according to the degree of their 
usefulness: fats and pathological thickenings dis-
appear first and other tissues follow only aft er-
wards. Within all living things, from worms to 
humans, during the fasting period different

Autolysis, which is a natural process that allows the body to eliminate damaged or dysfunctional cells and regenerate new ones.
What is the primary mechanism that allows the body to destroy and renew tissues during a period of fasting?
The text does not explicitly state the main difference, but it implies that dry fasting is more effective due to the activation of autolysis and the rejuvenation process.
What is the main difference between dry fasting and water fasting, and why is it considered more effective?
Apoptosis is a natural process that allows the body to eliminate damaged or dysfunctional cells, and excessive or deficient activity can lead to various health issues, such as premature aging, cancer, and autoimmune diseases.
What is the purpose of apoptosis in the body, and what are the consequences of its excessive or deficient activity?
The author emphasizes the importance of maintaining a healthy diet, regular physical activity, and a positive attitude, as well as avoiding stress and negative energy.
What is the key to maintaining a healthy and rejuvenated body, according to the author?
The text does not explicitly state the primary benefit, but it implies that dry fasting is a natural and effective method for rejuvenation and health restoration due to its ability to activate autolysis, eliminate toxins, and restore the body's natural processes.
