It makes no sense to fast for more 
than 10 days, as the weight drops mainly  in the 
first 7 -10 days. After undergoing these treatment 
courses, it’s possible to naturally lose 15 -30 kg or 
even more - everything depends on the weight 
and the goal. Here are some simple tips for people who fail 
to stick to a diet. Their use helps achieve the gen-
eral goal – to lose weight. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• To stop thinking about food, try doing some-
thing interesting, read a book, go to the cin-
ema, or take a walk outside. Remember that 
boredom is your enemy and the ally of over-
eating and obesity. • Put food on small plates to make it look like a 
larger amount. Put a small amount of food 
onto your fork or spoon, cut bread into thin 
slices to create an illusion of bigger portions. Eat slowly, and you’ll feel satiated sooner. • If you need to visit friend s, eat something die-
tary, such as a salad, before you leave, and it 
will be easier for you to resist the temptation to 
try something forbidden. • If you are very hungry and feel that you can’t 
refrain from eating until the next meal, drink 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frone-third of a glass of milk slowly, in small 
sips. • It’s advisable to have scales at home to con-
stantly monitor your body weight. Measuring 
your waist with a tape measurer in the morn-
ing constitutes proper control: 1 centimeter is 
one kilogram of weight. • Try to avoid sweets  departments and the com-
pany of people with a sweet tooth. Remember 
that a piece of cake stays in the mouth for 2 
minutes. It stays in the stomach for 2 hours, 
but it remains on the hips in the form of excess 
fat for the rest of your life. • It’s mandatory to exclude dishes and foods 
that increase the appetite from your diet: 
spices, smoked meats, etc. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• Hang a therapeutic mastication scheme in 
your kitchen so that it is always in front of you 
when you are eating. • Ideally, it’s best not to eat after 6 pm. • One of the main conditions of steady weight 
loss - you must pre -program yourself for the 
weight that you want to have. Take a piece of 
paper and use your left hand to write your de-
sired weight in numbers and always keep it in 
front of you. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr20. How does doctor  Filonov debunk 
myths about dry therapeutic fasting? Myth #1. People can survive 2 -3 days without 
water. 30-40 hours after the last sip of water, se-
vere dehydration starts and all vital processes are 
suppressed. After 50 -60 hours, the body starts dy-
ing. A  person dying without water has hallucina-
tions, loses consciousness, and suffers from terri-
ble headaches. It’s one of the most common scary stories 
about dry fasting that I found online. Let's see 
what happens during the so -called dry or abso-
lute fasting, when we stop not only eating, but 
also drinking. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frWater constitutes about 70% of our body mass, 
it comes from drinking and in the food. In addi-
tion, about 400 ml per day is formed in the body 
as a result of the oxidation, mainly of fats. When dry fasting, the amount of this metabolic 
liquid significantly increases and it meets the 
needs of the body for some time. The body also 
has certain water reserves. The skin alone con-
tains up to 2 liters of water. There are water re-
serves in some bodi ly cavities (serous cavities) 
and in some internal organs. The human body can survive without water for 
12 days in comfortable conditions (in the moun-
tains, near waterfalls and rivers). From a physiological point of view, the body 
doesn’t experience a si gnificant lack of liquid 
during fasting because up to 1 liter of 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frendogenous (metabolic) liquid is released for 
every kilogram of broken down adipose mass (or 
glycogen) daily. The loss of body fluids (via skin -
pulmonary perspiration and diuresis) is rela-
tively small under normal temperature condi-
tions, ranging from 1.5 liters to 2 liters per day. Thus, the shortage of liquid doesn’t exceed 0.5 -1 
liter per day, which is physiologically acceptable 
in conditions of reduced metabolism. Adipose 
tissue cells, adipocytes, are rich in fat and they’re 
living energy carriers. At the time of growth, the 
‘sated’ times, their number increases with suffi-
cient nutrition. When fasting, they become an 
internal source of nutrition. Adipocytes provide 
the body not only with ene rgy and water, but 
also supply almost all the compounds required 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfor living. One kilogram of adipose tissue is 
enough for 2-3 days of dry fasting. Why should dry fasting only be conducted in 
nature? That’s because the body absorbs during 
dry fasting, and it should take liquid and energy 
only from the energy areas that are environmen-
tally- friendly. According to scientific studies, a 
person may refrain from drinking for 10 to 12 
days in a comfortable environment, or even 
longer in extreme conditions. It’s tr ue that all liv-
ing forms have incredible vital reserves. Myth #2 . Many people wonder where our 
exotoxins and endotoxins go, because we don’t 
conduct special cleansing procedures: enemas, 
hydro-colon therapy, or sauna treatment. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frEvery living organism is c onstantly exposed to 
adverse factors, both external and internal, in the 
course of its life. They cause intoxication or poi-
son the body with harmful substances both com-
ing from the outside and produced in the body. Toxins enter the body from the outside th rough 
breathing, skin, with food and water. Toxins are 
produced in the body as by -products of vital 
processes: cells divide and old cells die. If they 
aren’t removed from the body, they will poison 
it. Muscle fibers are destroyed in the course of any 
phys ical activity. Any stress, brain functioning, 
and imagination trigger complex biochemical 
processes in the body, during which the used 
materials also turn into toxins that must be re-
moved. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frNature gave all living creatures a wonderful 
mechanism that informs them that the body 
must be cleansed of toxins. As toxins accumulate 
in the human body (or that of any living crea-
ture), it signals that it needs to get some sleep 
and people may experience drowsiness and fa-
tigue. Principal detoxification of the body occurs dur-
ing sleep, as it gets rid of the toxins that accumu-
lated during the day or entered the body with 
harmful food or alcoholic beverages. After their 
consumption, sleep may literally descend upon 
you. The same thing happens after taking certain 
drugs th at cause drowsiness or sleeping pills that 
don’t simply lead to harmless sleep, but poison 
you in a rather sophisticated way. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frYou need to understand that if you feel sleepy 
after eating, it means that your food was un-
healthy. Healthy foods don’t cause dro wsiness. On the contrary, they should invigorate and pro-
vide energy. First of all, sleep is a short -term dry 
fast. After all, we neither drink nor eat while 
sleeping. This is when vital energy is released in 
the body to do its healing work. Our body is a very smart and perfect system. When undergoing dry fasting, it switches on 
more powerful reserves and a neutralization sys-
tem compared to water  fasting. No matter how 
paradoxical it may sound, dry fasting is much 
easier to tolerate than water  fasting, and it also 
achieves a better effect. According to the value judgments of experi-
enced dieters, the effect of dry fasting is 3 times 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frgreater than the effect of water  fasting in the 
same time period. Dry fasting deprives body 
cells of any type of external nutrition because 
liquid nourishes them in the same way food 
does. Since nutrition and cleansing processes oc-
cur alternately, during dry fasting cells are only 
engaged in self -cleansing without wasting time 
and energy on anything else, since there’s no in-
coming  water from the outside. The body also 
burns the waste and removes toxins much more 
actively during dry fasting because there’s no 
water intake. People usually have a fever during 
dry fasting. It accelerates metabolic processes, 
which is a great benefit for the body. More spe-
cifically, a body temperature increase accelerates 
biochemical reactions and the breakdown and 
oxidation of toxins and waste and increases the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frbactericidal action of the blood tenfold. It means 
that the blood becomes 10 times more dange r-
ous for any harmful microorganisms. Research proves the decreased viability of mi-
crobes. When body temperature rises, bodily de-
toxification accelerates, which means the re-
moval or elimination of toxins and harmful sub-
stances. Chills and fever are an amazing process 
because of the enormous cleansing effect, and it 
switches on at the later stages of detox. A fever indicates that not only physical diseases 
are eliminated, but the spiritual body is also 
cleansed. The vortex flow, the so -called energy 
shells where negative information is collected, is 
purified. Higher concentrations of biologically 
active substances, hormones, immunocompe-
tent cells, and immunoglobulins in body fluids 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frare achieved with dry fasting in the shortest pos-
sible time. The enzymatic a ctivity of special cells, macro-
phages, is one of the mechanisms of eliminating 
endotoxins in the body during fasting. Phagocytic activity may triple after only 24 -36 
hours of dry fasting. In addition, phagocyte ac-
tivity fluctuates throughout the year. Pha gocytes 
are most active in May -June, and they are least 
active in November -February. They perform a 
phagocytic (from the Greek words "cell” and 
“eater") function. This process leads to autolysis, 
the breakdown of unhealthy and weak tissues. With its help, those substances that are least 
needed for vital body functions are absorbed and 
removed. Autolysis starts on the 2nd or 3rd day of 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdry fasting, and reaches its maximum on the 8th 
-10th day. I’ve already mentioned the toxic properties of 
tap water. When food and “dead” or poisoned 
water don’t enter the body, the body actually gets 
a complete rest. No enemas are required during dry fasting be-
cause there is no absorption of toxins from in-
testin es due to the absence of water. Therefore, 
there’s no intoxication with dry fasting, unlike 
other types of fasting. Dry fasting is also much 
easier to tolerate physically. Myth #3. Kidney problems may occur during 
dry fasting because of a huge burden on t he kid-
neys. Dry fasting is one of the most dangerous 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frcleansing methods. On the contrary, when a per-
son is on a diet or undergoes a therapeutic fasting 
course, the amount of fluid should be increased. After all, water removes excess salts and toxins 
(waste) from the body. Refusing to drink water is 
dangerous nonsense. The body is dehydrated and 
intoxicated with waste products instead of being 
cleansed. Tap water in modern cities causes much dam-
age because of its insufficient cleansing from in-
dustrial waste. Besides, it’s usually chlorinated. This type of water rapidly releases free chlorine, 
chlorine dioxide, and other chlorine com-
pounds. They oxidize many things in the body 
that shouldn’t be oxidized. Chlorine also kills 
good bacteria that synthesizes the necessary vit-
amins. When water is boiled, bacteria are killed, 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frcolloidal dirt particles coagulate, water softens, 
volatile organic compounds and a part of free 
chlorine evaporate. However, the concentration 
of salts, heavy metals, and pesticides increases. When the chlorine bound with organic matter is 
heated, it turns into a terrible poison – dioxin, a 
powerful carcinogen. Dioxins are 68 times more 
toxic than cyanide. When we drink boiled water, 
it slowly kills us. When water settles for at least 
three hours , the concentration of free chlorine 
decreases, but iron ions, heavy metal salts, car-
cinogenic organic chlorine compounds, and ra-
dionuclides are hardly eliminated. Distilled water (which had passed a vapor state) 
is unsuitable for permanent use, as it doe sn’t 
contain the micronutrients required by the 
body. Its constant use leads to immune system 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdisorders, cardiac rhythm problems, and diges-
tion-related complications. Water filtration may not provide the desired ef-
fect either. To know which filter to buy (coal, 
membrane, bactericidal, or combined), you 
must first have enough information about the 
water composition. It’s also necessary to regu-
larly replace the filter because after a while it 
starts giving back accumulated waste products 
and the microflora t hat multiplies in them. During dry fasting, the body doesn’t need to re-
cycle water to the extent it does during regular 
food intake and with a normal drinking regime. It’s clear that the kidneys and the liver enjoy al-
most a complete rest during dry fasting, and 
things are different with water  fasting. Their re-
covery is much faster when dry fasting. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frTherefore, its efficiency is doubtless, but practi-
cality should still be considered. For example, some people can’t undergo dry 
fasting for many reasons, but they can undergo 
water  fasting. After a 14 -day water  fasting course, I success-
fully completed fasting and started eating nor-
mally, but later I felt a heaviness in my kidneys. Prior to that, I didn’t even feel any disturbance 
in that area. It’s not surprising because I only 
drank water for the last 10 days o f fasting, so my 
kidneys had to work hard. Other bodily organs 
successfully performed their preventive work. When completing a 7 -day dry fasting course, I 
didn’t feel any discomfort. You should try it 
yourself. After dry fasting, the body is more via-
ble, recovers faster, and achieves better results. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frAn average dry fast (7 -9 day) can be easily toler-
ated, but it requires careful preparation and 
training. When people discuss the damage that dry fast-
ing causes to kidneys, it means that they don’t 
understand the processes that happen during 
fasting. It would be more correct to ask whether 
modern drinks and our tap water damage our 
kidneys. Kidneys are the main excretory organ of our 
bodies. Moreover, they can be called a direct ex-
cretory organ because they filter the blood and 
remove excess water, unnecessary substances 
formed by metabolic processes in body cells, un-
used substances formed due to digestion, drug 
intake, etc. All of the above is diluted with the 
liquid filtered from blood plasma. It’s necessary 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frto remember that almost all the liquid entering 
the body goes to the blood and undergoes many 
transformations (cleaned, structured, heated, or 
cooled). This process takes a lot of energy, and 
only subsequently turns into urine. Therefore, 
the quality of drin king water has a huge impact 
on our health. However, kidneys aren’t a separate and inde-
pendent organ. They’re an integral part of the 
body, which is quite strong. It’s nearly impossi-
ble to damage the kidneys during dry fasting . This damage is often a resul t of problems with 
other organs and systems, and it means that the 
whole body must be treated. All bodily activities need to be restored to treat 
kidney diseases. Dry fasting is one of the ways to 
restore the lost health. It allows the body to 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frinternally eliminate all the disruptions in its ac-
tivities. Only dry fasting doesn’t affect a particu-
lar organ or system, as it has a healing effect on 
all bodily organs and systems. Dry fasting pro-
vides a tangible positive effect for most kidney 
diseases. With conventional methods of treat-
ment, the burden on the kidneys doesn’t de-
crease. On the contrary, it increases because kid-
neys process the decay products of drugs. The 
burden on kidneys is significantly reduced dur-
ing dry fasting. During the first days of fasting , there are signif-
icant urine changes even in healthy people. When coming out of a fast, there’s a persistent 
improvement in urine composition. The urine 
of a sick person quickly improves: protein, red 
blood cells, and white blood cells disappear, the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.framou nt of salts excreted in the urine decreases. The treatment of glomerulonephritis requires 
long- term intake of different drugs to relieve the 
exacerbation, which usually manifests as swell-
ing and an increase in the amount of protein and 
red blood cells. After 3 or 4 days of fasting, swell-
ing is relieved and the amount of removed fluid 
is normalized. Urine composition is completely 
normalized within a few days of the end of the 
fast and remains healthy. Dry fasting is very effective in treating inflam-
matory diseases of kidneys and the urinary tract. The effect is achieved regardless of the pathogen 
type. Dry fasting was successfully used to treat 
sexually transmitted diseases in ancient times. In 
patients with pyelonephritis, fasting quickly re-
lieves inflammation, solves urination problems 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr(frequent or rare, painful urination), relieves low 
back pain and lower abdominal pain, and im-
proves urine test results (leukocytes, high pro-
tein, bacteria, and salts disappear). It’s necessary to remember that kidneys are 
very closely related to the liver. In most cases, 
kidney diseases are caused by the inability of the 
liver to perform its functions normally. There-
fore, it’s important to conduct cleansing proce-
dures before fasting and follow a diet afterwards. Properly co nducted dry fasting is very often ef-
fective for most kidney diseases. Myth #4 . Fasting is a huge stress for the body. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frStress is an inevitable part of life. Stress is a spe-
cial bodily state characterized by increased 
"alertness" and resistance to all damaging envi-
ronmental factors without exception. Our modern life is constant stress. Surgery is a 
huge stress for the body, especially for young 
women. Most importantly, the cause of the dis-
ease remains after it. Well, fasting is also a stress 
for the body, just like a cold, but stress shouldn’t 
necessarily be equated with harm. It's one thing 
when a person is hungry because he has nothing 
to eat, and there is a real threat of starvation. In 
this case, you can get seriously ill in two days. Something similar happens when a person gets 
lost or during DIY experiments, such as popular 
diets. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frDry therapeutic fasting is an entirely different 
thing because people don’t eat or drink volun-
tarily under doctors’ supervision, get medical 
help and psychological support. There are com-
fortable conditions and many recreational pro-
cedures. State of mind, mood, and preparation 
are very important for any type of fasting. People shouldn’t force themselves to suffer 
without their favorite meals for a few days. One 
has to be in a positive state of mind. This is the 
only case that guarantees success because the 
brain neither recognizes danger nor sends hun-
ger signals. It doesn’t produce stress hormones. On the 3rd day of fasting, the hormone serotonin 
starts being actively produced and brings feel-
ings of inner harmony and satisfaction. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frAbstaining from food (even if it’s voluntary) is 
stress for a living organism, which mobilizes 
bodily defenses to overcome a difficult situation, 
as it uses its endogenous reserves in the absence 
of exogenous nutrition. At the same time, every-
thing less important for life support is used (pro-
cessed) "according to the law of hierarchy", in-
cluding inflammation products, adipose tissue, 
etc. When the body is faced with physiological or 
natural stress, the activity of the endocrine 
glands increases and the autonomous nervous 
system is rejuvenation, in addition to improve-
ment of other mechanisms. People involuntarily 
enter a state of increased activity: they need to 
look for food and water. The psychologica l back-
ground is altered, minor problems are no longer 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frimportant. The mechanisms of biochemical de-
tox are switched on: the burning of fat and liver 
glycogen stores enhances and the blood compo-
sition changes. An experienced doctor regulates this process of 
managed stress. Myth #5. Many nutritionists claim that people 
suffer from vitamin deficiency while fasting, the 
body doesn’t receive protein on time, and it burns 
structural proteins of its own tissues, primarily 
muscles, in addition to fat. When it comes to vitamin deficiency, it’s ab-
sent during therapeutic fasting. The opposite 
opinion appeared in the media along with the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frstudy of different low -quality and fancy diets 
(rice, Japanese, Kremlin, etc.). Complete absti-
nence from food and water (it’s called a zero 
diet) is also criticized together with these diets. This is what nutritionists consider a possible vit-
amin deficiency during prolonged fasting. It’s 
assumed on the basis of a simple analogy: they 
say fasting should lead to vitamin deficiency if a 
diet that lacks sufficient minerals, micronutri-
ents, and vitamins causes it. However, it turns 
out that the opposite is the case. According to numerous studies, the body 
doesn’t waste energy on digestion, absorption, 
or excretion during therapeutic fasting. At the 
same time, the need for minerals is significantly 
reduced, and the body uses its current reserves 
more sparingly. That’s why there’s no vitamin 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdeficiency while fasting even if this problem is 
often caused by mono diets that allows the con-
sumption of refined and denatured food prod-
ucts. The internal food reserve is the evolution ben-
efit that increases survival chances of in the ab-
sence of food. These are high -calorie lipids dis-
solved in body fluids, liver and muscle glycogen, 
and specialized cells or adipose tissue. Cells of 
this tissue, adipocytes, are rich in fat and serve as 
living energy carriers. During the growth, their 
number increases with sufficient nutrition. They 
become an internal source of food while fasting. Living storage cells are an excellent solution to 
proper nutrition! Think about the efforts taken 
to keep food warm and in good condition for a 
long time at no extra cost! Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frDuring fasting, adipocytes provide the body 
not only with energy, but also with almost all its 
vital components . A person who conducts fast-
ing properly doesn’t have any diseases caused by 
malnutrition. One kilogram of adipose tissue is 
enough for 5 days of proper nutrition! Even the 
body of a fit person consists of 25% of adipose 
tissue. Dry or absolute fasting (wi thout water) has two 
huge benefits. Patients lose less muscle tissue 
than adipose tissue. The loss of muscle and adi-
pose tissue is almost the same as during water  
fasting. With dry fasting, adipose tissue breaks 
down 3 -4 times faster than the muscle tissue  be-
cause more than 90% of adipose tissue consists 
of water, and muscle tissue remains relatively in-
tact. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frA hundred years ago, academician V.V. Pashutin32 found out that pathologically 
changed tissues are burned while fasting based 
on long -term and in -depth studies. Relieving the 
body from old, sick, dead, weak, flabby, decom-
posing cells and tissues is a powerful therapeutic 
effect for many diseases. After all, healthy tissues 
are renewed with no harm, thus causing the re-
juvenation effect noted by all researchers, both 
ancient and modern. All vital organs - the heart,

prove their functions during the therapeutic

factors explain such a therapeutic fasting phe-
nomenon as increased creativity in intellectuals

performance imp roves immeasurably, the mind 
is clearer, and brainwork improves: thoughts be-
come deeper, the circle of associations expands 
significantly, long -term and short -term memory 
improves, etc. Competence in this sphere is required to criti-
cize or reject therapeu tic fasting. The main argu-
ment is as follows: fasting is a natural instinct 
laid down by nature in living organisms, and it’s 
necessary for their development. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frMyth #6 . The body can constantly renew itself, 
so there’s no need for any type of fasting. It’s true that the body is a unique biological sys-
tem that can rebuild and update its own struc-
tures literally on the go. The body constantly builds itself anew, adapt-
ing to changing external conditions, which 
means that adaptation processes never stop. Re-
cent studies prove that cells and cell systems pos-
sess an amazing ability: they can find worn and 
pathologically modified biological structures 
and replace them with new ones that are func-
tionally better. Scientists call these auto -regula-
tion mechanisms, and it’s the inner self -regula-
tion of the body. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frWhen people tell me that this mechanism 
works under any conditions, such as malnutri-
tion and harsh environmental factors, I always 
have questions. Why do we get sick, old, and die 
if the body can constantly rene w its own struc-
tures through auto -regulation? Why don’t the 
cell auto -regulation mechanisms work at their 
full capacity? Why do the systems responsible 
for the constant self -renewal of tissues become 
damaged? Why does their effectiveness de-
crease? Why are the body’s adaptive capabilities 
reduced? Why don’t these mechanisms reach 
their full potential? Most people can’t answer these questions. The 
body is full of modern poisons due to malnutri-
tion and harsh environmental conditions. Vital 
energy is spent on neutralizing these poisons

ern studies show that the accumulation of exo-
toxins and endotoxins in the body reduces the 
opportunities for its adaptation and auto -regu-
lation even in a healthy state. In this situatio n, 
the body can’t rejuvenate itself. We will never 
learn to manage our self -renewal powers with 
modern medical philosophy. Therapeutic fasting is a very natural way to 
make it happen. Detoxification of the body stim-
ulates the inner healing reserves and sup ports 
self-renewal systems. Practice shows that the re-
newal and rejuvenation of the body are greatly 
enhanced during dry therapeutic fasting. When 
outside cellular feeding stops for a certain 
strictly calculated period, it becomes possible to 
most effectively remove dead cells from tissues,

and organs from accumulated waste and toxins. Fasting can be considered a temporary halt of

quickly regain weight after switching back to their 
usual diet. Of course, nutritionists are  right to a certain ex-
tent. The thing is that rapid recovery processes 
begin in the body after fasting. Cells actively ab-
sorb nutrients. Weight will be regained quickly

kilos if they don’t limit their food intake during 
this period. Therefore, if the goal is only weight 
loss, not a complete change in the habits that had 
caused obesity, fasting won’t help you. You will 
only gain a few extra kilograms. However, if you do change your habits and life-
style, you can achieve excellent results. In addi-
tion to weight loss, there is a significant im-
provement in cardiovascular activity, high blood 
pressure lowers, shortness of breath and ar-
rhythmia disappear, and the heart rate becomes 
healthy. Menstrual cycle is restored in women, 
while men’s sexual vigor improves. Psycho-
pathological symptoms are relieved in patients 
with mental disorders. Subsequent observation 
of patients for up to 15 years showed that the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frweight remained at the same level as after the 
treatment in case of compliance with the recom-
mended diet. Even water  fasting provides excellent results in 
case of proper use and compliance with all rec-
ommendations, but dry fasting is much more ef-
fective. It’s known that adipose tissue easily de-
posits water, making lipolysis difficult. Dry fast-
ing relieves swelling, thus accelerating lipolysis. For overweight people, dry fasting is the most ef-
fective way to lose weight. It’s the best fat burner. After dry fasting, the weight is regained, but it 
never returns to its previous level. Unlike many 
other weight loss methods, fasting is free and, 
most importantly, harmless. People tolerate it 
more easily than numerous debilitating diets 
that do nothing but harm. Nutrition from one’s 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frown reserves is perfectly balanced. The body  
takes only what it needs at the moment, not what 
is artificially taken from outside. What are the 
advantages of dry fasting over other weight loss 
methods? • Fast and safe weight loss during fasting. • Fasting is easier to undergo because there’s no 
constant feeling of hunger. • The skin and tissues do not become saggy or 
flabby after the weight is lost. • During fasting, weight loss is accompanied by 
an improvement of the body and overall well -
being (it’s easier to breathe and move, constant 
fatigue disa ppears, indigestion and heaviness 
in the abdomen are gone, blood pressure is 
lowered, and the burden on the heart is de-
creased). Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• Fasting helps improve eating habits, which is 
its key benefit. To treat obesity, we prescribe a series of com-
bination fasting c ourses (dry fasting and water  
fasting) in a row. To achieve a stable long -term 
result, one has to follow certain recommenda-
tions: a dairy and plant -based diet, the mastica-
tion method, 24 -hour weekly fasting, etc. How-
ever, even regular dry fasting (every we ek) in 
combination with a diet can work wonders. Myth #8 . Many people believe that dry fasting 
can treat all incurable diseases, even the terminal 
stage of cancer. Dry fasting can very effectively treat different 
diseases, especially at their initial stages. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frHowever, even this method has its own indica-
tions, contraindications, and limits. This 
method is especially effective for inflammatory 
conditions. Short -term dry fasting can be suc-
cessfully used not only to treat cold -related dis-
eases, but also any inflammation of internal and 
external organs. Dry fasting successfully treats skin boils, inner 
ear infections, periostitis, injuries, bruises, frac-
tures, concussion, abscesses, colds, infections. Fasting can’t cure bone fractures, however, wa-
ter deficiency leads to a quick decrease in swell-
ing and inflammation. After a concussion, pre-
ventative dry fasting is mandatory. A concussion 
causes brain swelling, which leads to all subse-
quent problems. The faster the swelling is re-
lieved, the faster the recovery. Long -term dry 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfasting is very effective in such serious diseases 
as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, 
deforming arthrosis, and many others. It’s also 
effective for ovarian cysts and benign tumors. Unfortunately, this method is used aft er all the 
modern treatment methods have been tried and 
proven inefficient. People use it as a drowning 
man clutches at a straw. The body is completely 
poisoned by chemistry, hormones, and radia-
tion. All the natural bodily defenses are com-
pletely suppresse d and paralyzed, and a sick per-
son feels hopeless and starts undergoing the 
longest fasting courses without cleansing and 
training the body first. In this case, serious com-
plications and even death may occur. In my practice, I have had to deal with such 
cases. Of course, I had cases of treating cancer at 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthe initial stage, but those patients underwent a 
few dry fasting courses, relocated from cities to 
the countryside, and completely changed their 
lifestyle. That’s why they achieved good results. Other patients with cancer, who were fasting in-
dependently at home after chemotherapy and 
radiation, could only prolong their life and im-
prove its quality. Everything should be done in 
proper time. Of course, people can die during fasting; not 
from hunger, but because their over -nourished 
bodies are full of numerous impurities, which 
start to move about. Incurably sick patients may 
die while fasting, but they will die from their dis-
ease, not because of fasting. Likewise, they could 
die after eating. Tens of thousands of patients 
with heart disease die after a hearty meal. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frYou can die from your own stupidity if you 
don’t follow the rules of fasting (it happens, but 
very rarely), especially when coming out of a fast 
(if you eat everything you see). What does fast-
ing have to do with that? Fasting is life! While 
our stupidity and limitations will surely lead us 
to death. Myth #9 . Many people write that dry fasting 
requires salt -water enemas and rinsing the mouth 
with water, as these procedures help undergo dry 
fasting. During complete (water) fasting, the body 
switches completely to endogenous nutrition. This unique mechanism is ruined completely if 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frpeople start drinking juice or eating apples dur-
ing this period. The same thing happens during dry fasting. Body cells start producing their own high -qual-
ity fluid from internal reserves during dry fast-
ing. When water enters the mouth or intestines, 
this mechanism is ruined. All of my patients who have tried to rinse their 
mouth with water say that they felt much better 
at first, but then the dry mouth sensation inten-
sified several times so that it became almost im-
possible to continue fasting. Just like with salt 
enemas, there’s no cleansing effect, but thirst is 
triggered, making it almost impossible to un-
dergo a full ther apeutic dry fasting treatment 
course. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frSometimes, it’s acceptable to bathe and douse 
with cold water when coming out of the fast. However, if you tolerate fasting well, there’s no 
need for it. “ Health is work, work is patience, pa-
tience is suffering, suffering is cleansing, and 
cleansing is health! ”

Summarize the following text section accurately and concisely. Maintain specific details and numerical information, and use anti-repetition mechanisms:

        It makes no sense to fast for more 
than 10 days, as the weight drops mainly  in the 
first 7 -10 days. After undergoing these treatment 
courses, it’s possible to naturally lose 15 -30 kg or 
even more - everything depends on the weight 
and the goal. Here are some simple tips for people who fail 
to stick to a diet. Their use helps achieve the gen-
eral goal – to lose weight. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www. dryfasting. infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail. fr• To stop thinking about food, try doing some-
thing interesting, read a book, go to the cin-
ema, or take a walk outside. Remember that 
boredom is your enemy and the ally of over-
eating and obesity. • Put food on small plates to make it look like a 
larger amount. Put a small amount of food 
onto your fork or spoon, cut bread into thin 
slices to create an illusion of bigger portions. Eat slowly, and you’ll feel satiated sooner. • If you need to visit friend s, eat something die-
tary, such as a salad, before you leave, and it 
will be easier for you to resist the temptation to 
try something forbidden. • If you are very hungry and feel that you can’t 
refrain from eating until the next meal, drink
