Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frblood. That’s why it seems that the body chooses 
a mechanism of storing toxins as one of the ways 
to fight the increasing endotoxemia. The main 
components of biological membranes (li popro-
teins) circulating in the blood can become its 
participants. Lipoproteins can transfer different 
fat-soluble toxins to the liver, where they’re "re-
cycled." Lipoproteins "capture" and dissolve tox-
ins in themselves, thus binding them and mak-
ing them safe for the body. However, the amount 
of toxins that the liver can metabolize is limited. When the body has a powerful and permanent 
locus of endotoxemia (and that’s exactly what 
happens if the barrier function of the intestines 
is impaired), the liver stops  coping with its tasks. It simply doesn’t have enough time to process 
everything. As a result, the modified toxin -
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frloaded lipoproteins circulate in the blood until 
they penetrate the artery walls. This is how ath-
erosclerotic plaque formation starts. Since m ac-
rophages are attracted to them, we can assume 
that there’s a toxicogenic change in their struc-
ture. Of course, it’s just a hypothesis, although 
there is experimental evidence to support it. For 
example, animal experiments have shown that 
two- or three -time injection of intestinal flora’s 
bacterial toxins into the abdominal membrane 
causes sclerosis -like formations in arteries. It al-
lows us to somehow understand the logic and bi-
ological meaning of atherosclerosis, though 
there are still many gaps in understanding the 
mechanisms of developing this disease. Why 
does it affect artery walls, not veins? Why does 
the body choose this inefficient way instead of 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frimproving detoxification processes? In general, 
when studying these and other processes in liv-
ing organi sms, we keep facing the logic of organ 
and body system adaptation to various harsh cir-
cumstances, as we still don’t understand it. 19.2.2. Dry Fasting for hypertension  
Not only atherosclerosis, but also hypertension 
can be related to endointoxication proc esses. When we mentioned the development of ather-
osclerosis, we talked about the toxins that can 
only be dissolved in fats. However, there are also 
water -soluble endotoxins formed and stored in 
the body. In general, water is the main compo-
nent of our liquid transport media (plasma, 
lymph, cerebrospinal fluid, tissue fluid). Water -
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frsoluble endotoxins will be primarily removed by 
kidneys. Indeed, it’s very easy to transport them there in 
their free or bound form and remove them along 
with urine after their filtration through special 
nephritic membranes. Apparently, this is what 
happens in a healthy body. This mechanism of 
removing different endotoxins is confirmed by 
clinical observations of recent years. An increase 
in middle urine molecules in patients with m ild 
or moderate endogenous intoxication and the 
development of different diseases prevents or 
weakens their accumulation in the blood. How-
ever, it was noted that a significant increase in 
endotoxins in the blood decreases the intensity 
of their excretion w ith the urine by the kidneys. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frAt first, these data caused some confusion. Why does the body reject such an effective de-
toxification method? Further experiments and 
studies allowed to partly shed light on the se-
quence of emergent events. A constant or shar p 
increase in the production of different endotox-
ins in the body leads to their accumulation in the 
structures of the kidney excretory system. The 
organ that is supposed to remove toxins be-
comes their target. Toxins have a destructive ef-
fect, kidneys start  malfunctioning - the intensity 
of toxin elimination decreases. In our opinion, 
one of the signs of impaired detoxification, 
which is a kidney function, may be an increase 
in blood pressure. Let’s explain that. As a special detoxification 
organ in the body, nephritic structures intensify 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthe process of capturing toxins when endoge-
nous intoxication increases, and these toxins can 
be partially stored on the filtration membrane 
and accumulate in the tubular epithelium. The 
kidney filtration membrane works alm ost like a 
standard filter. A negative charge on its surface 
is one of the most important conditions for the 
effective functioning of the kidney filter. This 
charge partially prevents blood plasma mole-
cules from leaking through the filter, and they 
also ca rry a negative charge. These molecules 
primarily include blood proteins with a rela-
tively low molecular weight, such as albumin. It 
prevents unnecessary protein loss in the body 
during urine formation. It’s interesting that un-
der normal conditions the nece ssary blood mol-
ecules in humans are mainly negatively charged 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frparticles. In the presence of numerous endotox-
ins, especially medium molecular weight sub-
stances that carry a positive charge, filtration 
starts increasing. However, as the amount of ex-
creted toxins increases, positively charged parti-
cles will accumulate on the surface of the filtra-
tion membrane increasingly more, thus reduc-
ing filtration efficiency. Another mechanism of removing toxins 
through kidneys is a secretory mechanism based 
on the active  capture of toxins by superficial cells 
(epithelium) of kidney tubules and their subse-
quent transfer to the ultrafiltrate flowing 
through tubules. Just like in the former mecha-
nism of removing toxins through kidneys, the 
selective accumulation of toxins in  the cellular 
structures of the kidney -secretion system 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frinevitably leads to renal damage in the second 
mechanism. Kidneys simply can’t cope with 
their tasks, thus causing a mild renal failure. As 
a rule, pathological changes require serious 
medical attention. It’s noted that the amount of 
endotoxins increases in the urine when the con-
dition of patients with different disorders starts 
improving following treatment. It indicates the 
recovery of the kidney detoxification function. You may wonder how it is linked to blood pres-
sure. The decrease in the efficiency of toxin re-
moval by kidneys forces the body to seek out ad-
ditional reserves. Indeed, the need to remove 
toxins isn’t reduced. On the contrary, it keeps in-
creasing. Apparently, this occurs when the 
mecha nism of increasing filtration pressure is 
activated. Filtration pressure is the difference in 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frpressure between the intravascular space and the 
cavity where the primary urine is filtered. This 
difference depends on blood pressure. Thus, the 
body raises bloo d pressure to somehow compen-
sate for renal failure during ongoing endoge-
nous intoxication. People end up with hyperten-
sion. In such cases, doctors can make the wrong di-
agnosis of hypertension if they focus only on the 
main symptoms without conducting a com plete 
physical examination. After all, high blood pres-
sure is only a consequence in this case, and its 
cause is different, namely, ongoing endogenous 
intoxication. Lowering blood pressure exclu-
sively by taking vasodilators will eliminate 
symptoms, rather than the causes of the disease. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr19.2.3. Why dry fasting helps fight chronic 
diseases 
• Of course, during fasting the digestive tract 
rests more than other organs. The body directs 
all of its forces to restore the protective and 
neutralizing function of the ga strointestinal 
tract and the liver. • Fasting improves liver function considerably. It causes a mild choleretic effect, restores liver 
cells. • The body receives no food and water during 
dry fasting. Old and “dead” water is replaced 
with the living water synthesized by the body 
during dry fasting. If the body receives neither 
food nor “dead” water, numerous harmful 
substances don’t enter our blood. The body 
constantly detoxifies the blood. In fact, the  
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frsame blood composition will be detoxified 
through the filter elements many times, which 
means that the blood will be almost perfect. Consequently, all the  blood -related processes 
in our body will be conducted almost perfectly. It’s all very simple, and t hat’s why our immune 
system gets a good rest. • As we already know, toxins are burned on 
their own during dry fasting. In the absence of 
water, each cell triggers its own internal ther-
monuclear reaction. This process makes re-
covery faster. Reacting with a fever, the body 
causes a slowdown in the microorganism 
growth. It becomes easier for the immune sys-
tem to track down and kill everything alien 
and altered. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• The concentrations of biologically active sub-
stances, hormones, immunocompetent cells, 
and immunoglobulins in body fluids increase 
during dry fasting. I’ve already mentioned that 
it’s very difficult for any infection to  adapt to 
living without liquid. • The second acidotic crisis and autolysis occur 
in a shorter period of time. If the autolysis of 
body tissues was the only source of nutrition at 
the beginning of fasting, autolysis acts like a 
natural surgeon during the sec ond acidotic 
crisis. • Sick, altered, and weak cells don’t survive ex-
treme conditions. They die and degrade. Thus, fasting helps to get rid of everything un-
necessary, weak, sick, and harmful. The most 
important characteristic of fasting in patients 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwith chr onic diseases is the rapid elimination of 
waste products and accumulated toxins from the 
body – these are the causes of diseases, and a 
subsequent healthy lifestyle helps restore energy 
and health. It’s a mistake to assume that the body 
can get rid of all accumulated toxins by fasting 
only. The toxins that have accumulated over 
many years can’t be eliminated in the course of 
only a few days or even weeks. For patients with 
chronic diseases, three or more fasting courses 
are required to see a clear improveme nt, but 
each case is different. Everything depends on the 
overall health condition, but a patient’s persis-
tence in achieving a stable therapeutic effect is 
the most important. Preventive fasting courses repeated annually 
are a prerequisite for this persis tence in addition 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frto a series of (fractional) fasting within a few 
years if it’s required for full recovery. 19.2.4. Dry fasting for cystic tumors in the 
body  
In this case, the body is better than any surgeon 
because it eliminates both the cause and the e f-
fect. When the body doesn’t receive any liquid, 
it can’t have any pathological fluid formations 
under such conditions, no matter where they 
are. Ovarian cysts are the pathological for-
mations in ovarian tissues consisting of the cav-
ity covered by a capsule  and filled with fluid. Based on the content, cysts are categorized as 
follicular, corpus luteum cysts, mucinous, endo-
metrioid, and dermoid. The duration of dry fast-
ing is different in each case. Sometimes, a dry 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfasting course must be repeated to finally solve 
the problem. Of course, it’s very difficult to treat conditions 
in the body separately. The body is an integrated 
whole. Mostly women and girls with gynecolog-
ical disorders come to us for treatment. I could 
make the following conclusions based on my ob-
servation of them over the course of many years, 
in-depth research of medical literature, and 
studies of patient cases where therapeutic fasting 
acted as the cure. The causes of mastopathy, 
uterine fibromatosis, endometriosis, cysts, and 
other benign tum ors are long -lasting and pre -
existing chronic conditions in the body, chronic 
sites of infection, and sources of intoxication. In 
at least 90% of all cases it is chronic colitis. As a 
rule, nobody treats colitis, and it’s the cause of 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frmalfunction of all th e organs and systems. More 
rarely, thyroid problems are the main cause of 
disease. I like fasting because it treats the whole body. Most importantly, it eliminates both the causes 
and the effects of the disease. During fasting, the 
body directs its efforts  towards healing based on 
the priority principle. It heals according to its 
own smart laws, contrary to our logic. The body 
directs all the forces to the most important or-
gans and functions. I had many cases when peo-
ple came to treat asthma or psoriasis. Not only 
did they improve their condition, but women 
also got rid of infertility. This is when I realized 
that the reproductive function is one of the most 
important ones for the body, which is the reason 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwhy it tries to restore this vital function first du r-
ing fasting (of any type). 19.2.5. Dry Fasting for Infertility  
Infertility is the inability to conceive. The term 
“infertile couple” is also often used in medical 
literature. It implies no pregnancy in a woman 
of reproductive age within three years of re gular 
sexual activity without using any contraceptives. Approximately 25% of women in Russia are in-
fertile. The percentage is even more terrifying in 
the West: 44%. That’s why there is such a high demand for the 
services of surrogate mothers, and sperm ba nks 
are working 24/7. The nation is facing a problem 
that is all about survival, rather than simply 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frinfertility. Modern medicine still can’t solve this 
problem completely. Medical centers mainly 
treat the consequences of infertility, when it’s 
necessary to  find its cause and treat it. Physicians 
often offer only artificial insemination attempts 
and rehabilitation treatment. However, these 
methods aren’t always effective. People come to 
us after trying most of the infertility treatment 
methods offered by mod ern medicine. Current main causes of infertility:  
• Anovulation: the egg doesn’t mature, so the 
sperm doesn’t fertilize it. • Hormonal imbalance: both healthy ovulation 
and menstruation may be absent. • Premature menopause: early menopause is 
rare, and it mostly affects women with congen-
ital ovarian hypoplasia or aplasia. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• Ovarian dysfunction: ovarian dysfunction dis-
rupts hormone production in the hypothala-
mus -pituitary system. As a result, the egg loses 
viability. • Polycystic ovary syndrome: PCOS is charac-
terized  by the growth of cysts and two -fold en-
largement of the ovaries, with a white coating 
of the ovaries. This condition impairs hor-
mone metabolism and leads to immature folli-
cles and no mature cells. • Cervical canal problems: cervical mucus is so 
thick that the sperm dies after getting there. • Cervical erosion. • Fallopian tube obstruction or damage. • Scarred ovaries: this condition can be caused 
by surgery. Scars prevent follicle growth and 
ovulation. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• Unruptured follicle: the egg remains in the 
ovary without participating in fertilization. • Endometriosis: the disease disrupts oocyte 
maturation, egg fertilization and/or the attach-
ment of a mature and fertilized egg to uterus 
walls. • Uterine malformation: the  egg can’t attach to 
the endometrium, the inner layer of the uterus. If there’s no congenital pathology or absolute 
infertility, dry medical fasting is effective in 
eliminating many causes of infertility. Dry fasting effects:  
• Normalizes hormone level and treats ovarian 
dysfunction. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr• Destroys all chronic infectious agents, elimi-
nates cervical erosion and scar tissue, and re-
stores normal vaginal flora. • Gastrointestinal tract function is normalized, 
and its failure is one of the causes of gyneco-
logical disorder s. 
• A very high level of free sex hormones in the 
blood during fasting results in greatly en-
hanced sexuality. Contrary to popular belief, 
hunger increases sexuality, rather than de-
creases it. Only very few women are affected by absolute 
infertility. In most  cases, infertility is the effect 
and consequence of other conditions. The ability 
to conceive returned to many women after re-
storing their health. Based on their experience, 
fasting is invaluable in treating the effects and 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frconsequences of the conditions that caused their 
infertility. It’s worth noting that women who 
easily conceive, but have abortions because of 
their inability to carry a baby to term, can fully 
restore health through fasting and give birth to 
healthy babies. Elimination of the toxic state and 
subsequent improvement of their nutrition al-
low them to avoid abortions. 19.2.6. Toxemia in Pregnant Women  
Toxemia in pregnant women is a multi -symp-
tomatic condition that occurs when the female 
body fails to adapt to pregnancy. It’s character-
ized by  significant changes in metabolism, func-
tion of the endocrine glands, cardiovascular and 
other systems, and in the level of electrolytes or 
hormones. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frVarious diseases before or during pregnancy, 
malnutrition, fatigue, nervous tension, and lack 
of sleep make women more prone to toxemia. Nausea, morning sickness, and vomiting aren’t a 
natural occurrence during pregnancy. However, 
if these symptoms are present, in some cases 
they quickly cease, while in others it may neces-
sary to terminate a pregnancy to save  a woman’s 
life. The main cause is still the subject of many dis-
putes. If we understand that this condition is un-
natural for a pregnant woman, we can conclude 
that it’s absolutely necessary for her to take care 
of her body and health in the early stages o f preg-
nancy. Nature treats everyone equally. If a woman ex-
periences nausea and vomiting during 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frpregnancy, it means that her lifestyle had led to 
these symptoms, resulting in her suffering. These are explained by the intoxication of her 
body, not by pregnancy. Nature attempts to en-
dow every newborn baby with health in an effort 
to continue life and give the finest qualities to 
any new life form. Therefore, nature is deeply 
concerned with the prenatal conditions of new-
borns and, particularly, their nutrition . Unborn 
babies get nutrition from the substances sup-
plied to them by their mothers’ bodies. If the blood of a pregnant woman meets the 
highest physiological standards for the embryo, 
the pregnancy will be calm and even pleasant. If 
it is intoxicated, the  process focused on creating 
the best source of nutrition for the embryo needs 
to be launched. The physiological environment 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frof an unborn baby, which is his or her mother's 
body, must be healthy for the embryo to have 
clean, healthy, and well -balanced cond itions 
during the antenatal period. This means that not 
only the womb should be suitable for the devel-
opment of a new life, but also the entire mother's 
body. If there is no general order, there may be 
no local order. We observe how the metabolism of a pr egnant 
woman intensifies and her previously dormant 
glands are activated. If a woman’s lifestyle is gen-
erally healthy, her health improves. The symp-
toms that she has experienced for a long time 
disappear and she starts feeling well. Nausea and 
vomiting are  just a part of a general recovery. In-
toxicated women are unsuitable to give birth to 
a baby. The toxins retained and deposited in the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frbody are poisonous and must be eliminated. That’s why a radical detoxification process is 
needed, and it can be accomplished by tempo-
rary fasting. The stomach and the body of the in-
toxicated woman protest. They reject food, and 
the liver increases its excretory function. A lot of 
bile is excreted into the stomach and is elimi-
nated through vomiting. Some women may even 
have f ood aversion – it’s what the body requires 
to detox. When we realize that nature does everything 
possible to prepare a clean and healthy "home" 
for the emergence of a new life, we will under-
stand the need to support these efforts and stop 
putting spokes in the wheel of life. When a pregnant woman experiences mild 
nausea and vomiting, she should voluntarily 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frstop eating at once. Of course, dry fasting is not 
allowed in this case. Arakelyan’s water  fasting 
method is the ultimate solution. The fast should 
last 3 -7 days and involve anti -stress and choler-
etic herbs. It won’t cause any harm to woman or 
her baby. Lo ng-term fasting can be harmful, 
while a few days of fasting in the early stage of 
pregnancy will definitely help, especially women 
with morning sickness. A woman should go to 
bed and rest in warmth, put all of her fears aside, 
and relax mentally without ta king any medica-
tion. Practice proves that fasting for 3 -7 days is suf-
ficient to improve health and stop nausea and 
vomiting for the rest of her pregnancy. After 
fasting for a few days, eat fruits and raw vegeta-
bles before returning to regular meals. Howeve r, 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frwhen I say regular meals, I don’t mean the com-
mon diet. Pregnant women are prone to overeat-
ing, especially when it comes to proteins. They 
really do need high -quality protein, but in small 
quantities. Fresh fruits and non -starchy vegeta-
bles are what the y need the most. In normal 
cases of morning sickness, 3 -4 days of fasting are 
sufficient to restore normal well -being, so that a 
woman will eat without problems in the future. There’s no reason to reject fasting in this condi-
tion and in such cases. Why would we need food 
in the presence of nausea, vomiting, and com-
plete absence of appetite, when the body throws 
out everything that you eat at once? Fasting is 
the only logical way to improve one’s health. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr19.2.7. Endometriosis  
Endometriosis is one of the main causes of in-
fertility. Nowadays, obstetricians and gynecol-
ogists attach great importance to it. Every third 
woman suffers from endometriosis, which can 
be the cause of a condition as terrible as infertil-
ity. Endometriosis is one of the most common 
diseas es, which entails the cells from the inner 
(mucous) layer of the uterus appearing in uter-
ine walls and the other internal organs. Endome-
triosis occurs increasingly more frequently every 
year. Besides, today the condition affects young 
women. In the past, endometriosis mainly af-
fected women after 35 years of age. Now, it’s in-
creasingly common in young 20 -year-old 
women. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frCauses of endometriosis . Endometrium and 
menstrual blood are eliminated from the uterus 
every month. Sometimes during menstruation, a 
detach ed part of the endometrium moves in the 
wrong direction, which is different from a regu-
lar one. It moves towards fallopian tubes, ova-
ries, and even other distant organs, such as lungs 
and perirectal or pericystic space, not into the 
vagina and then out of the body. The symptoms 
of this condition begin 2 -3 days before menstru-
ation, and they include spasms, pain radiating to 
the perineum or the rectum, and excessive 
bleeding. In many cases, endometriosis can go 
unnoticed for a long time. A woman may learn 
that she has this condition only during a visit to 
her gynecologist. The long -term inability to con-
ceive may be the reason for this visit, because 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frinfertility is the main consequence of this condi-
tion. What causes endometriosis? There are more 
than 40 hypoth eses of its origin, but none of 
them are 100% supported by scientists and doc-
tors. All that’s known definitively is that women 
who use intrauterine contraceptives (such as spi-
rals), underwent any gynecological surgery 
(such as abortions, diagnostic curettage of the 
uterine cavity, cervical erosion coagulation, etc.) are more prone to endometriosis. Moreover, any 
abdominal surgery (such as appendectomy) or 
pelvic surgery (such as bladder stone removal) 
can result in endometriosis. Of course, neuro-
hormonal disorders (pituitary gland disorders 
and conditions that affect other hormone -pro-
ducing organs), weak immune system (resulting 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfrom exposure to toxic elements or radiation, 
microwave fields, and others) can result in endo-
metriosis. Some scientists believe in  a genetic 
predisposition. Obviously, if there are many theories, the real 
cause of endometriosis is still unknown. There-
fore, I think it’s best to depend on your healing 
powers and the wisdom or the body, your inner 
doctor who knows how to cure you better  than 
professors and scientist. 19.2.8. Dry Fasting for Benign Tumors  
The main therapeutic factor in treating benign 
tumors with dry fasting involves three mecha-
nisms. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr1. Only the healthiest and strongest cells and 
tissues with a perfect adaptation mechanism sur-
vive in extreme and harsh conditions with no 
water and food. It’s obvious that adaptation 
mechanisms to severe conditions are much 
weaker and flawed in any pathological for-
mation. 2. The destruction of pathological cells (and 
not the healthy ones) during therapeutic dry 
fasting is also associated with the release of lym-
phoepithelial cells from the entire digestive tract. Refraining from food and water intake for many 
days creates conditions for the advancement of 
very powerful B -lymphocytes from thei r gastro-
intestinal position. They’re gathered from all 
lymphatic basins and nodes of the extensive di-
gestive tract. Most of them come from the small 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frintestine. All the mobilized B -lymphocytes are 
used for their intended purpose. They destroy 
and suppress a ll pathological tissues and cells. The immune system becomes several times 
stronger. 3. Autolysis (self -digestion) is one of the main 
mechanisms that can disband benign tumors. I’ve already described this remarkable process in 
the chapter 8 ( What mechanis ms does a dry fast 
trigger within the body? ). I’ll try to explain it 
again in a shorter and simpler manner. When I 
describe this mechanism to my patients, I pro-
vide the simplest and most vivid example from 
nature, which is the common onion. It contains 
a new plant inside it surrounded by the nutrient s 
sufficient to survive the rest period, during 
which it doesn’t receive any nutrients from the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frsoil or air. The onion can sprout in a bucket or 
bag where it’s stored. It pushes out new shoots, 
and almost the entire bulb turns into green off -
shoots very so on. The bulb gradually softens. Fi-
nally, only its cover remains as the growing plant 
digests the shoots and uses the bulb content. This means that the old is used to grow the new. Let’s take a look at a simple furuncle, which 
most of us have probably enco untered. At first, 
we experience swelling and redness, but then a 
furuncle disappears with the help of enzymes 
and immune cells. The same thing happens with benign tumors 
during dry fasting and the second acidotic crisis. This is when autolysis functions as a natural sur-
geon. No surgery eliminates the causes of the 
disease, while fasting eliminates both its cause

from the uterine muscular layer. It affects 
women over 30. There’s evidence of an increase 
in the  number of patients. The latest data prove 
that uterine fibroids affect younger patient 
groups. The main causes of uterine fibroids in-
clude hormonal imbalances, abortions, heredity, 
poor ecology, and adenomyosis. In addition, in-
flammatory gynecological diseases of different 
origins, IUDs, and difficulties in labor are other 
major causes of this disease. Uterine fibroids are 
a benign tumor that usually grows in the uterine 
muscular layer. According to statistics, more 
than 28% of women are affected by this d isease. I also had many cases when lipomas remained 
during fasting, but they dissolved two or three

ommendations. 19.2.9. Mastopathy  
This condition is characterized by non -cancer-
ous changes in breast tissues in women. Mas-
topathy affects women of all ages. Women be-
tween the ages of 25 and 45 are particularly 
prone to it. According to statistics, this patient 
group is 60-80%. Causes of mastopathy. Hormonal imbalance 
is the main cause of mastopathy. When the fe-
male body functions normally, monthly hormo-
nal changes cause cyclical changes in breasts. Hormonal imbalance can cause mastopathy. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frRisk factors that increase the likelihood of mas-
topathy include: epididymitis; hereditary fac-
tors, i.e., breast disorders in maternal relatives; 
thyroid disease; liver and gallbladder disorders; 
diabetes, obesity, vascular diseases; iodine defi-
ciency; stress, depression, irregular sexual activ-
ity; abortions, breast injuries, alcohol, smoking, 
radiation; no pregnancy or aged first -time moth-
ers, short breastfeeding period; early onset of 
menstruation and late menopause. Mastopathy is more treatable than all the types 
of benign tumors (except cysts). Firstly, the 
breast becomes immediately involved in the pro-
cess of fasting. On average, it loses 10 -15 g a day. Secondly, it’s always possible to palpate a tumor 
and find out whether it’s gone. Thirdly, it’s al-
ways possible to accurately apply leeches to a 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frtumor at the end of a fast to achieve a huge po-
tentiating effect. Leech saliva contains the en-
zymes that can dissolve the protective covering 
of the tumor, which facilitates the immune sys-
tem. However, leeches can act in two ways: they 
strengthen a strong immune system and make 
weak immunity even weaker, thus triggering tu-
mor growth. Fasting always strengthens the immune system 
so that a tumor can’t grow in these conditions. It 
turns out that leech therapy boosts the therapeu-
tic effect of fasting. When fasting is combined 
with leech therapy, its duration is much shorter. 19.2.10. Prostat itis and benign prostatic hy-
perplasia 
Benign prostatic hyperplasia. The term "benign 
prostatic hyperplasia" means that a small nodule 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr(or nodules) is formed in the prostate, and it 
grows and gradually squeezes the urethra. If the 
urethra didn’t pass through the prostate gland, 
the condition would have no symptoms at all. Patients with BPH have problems urinating, 
and it’s the main symptom of this condition. BPH is a non -cancerous growth that doesn’t me-
tastasize (spread to other organs). It’s the major 
diffe rence between BPH and prostate cancer. According to statistics, half of the men over 50 
years of age visit a doctor because of benign 
prostatic hyperplasia. It’s believed that this con-
dition affects 85% of men over time. This per-
centage proves that benign prostatic hyperplasia 
is the most common urological condition. How 
does it affect the prostate gland? Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frCauses of BPH . The causes of benign prostatic 
hyperplasia are still unclear. It’s believed that 
this condition is one of the signs of male meno-
pause. Thus, every elderly man can be affected 
by it. There are no proven links between the oc-
currence of BHP and sexual activity, sexual ori-
entation, tobacco and alcohol use, urologic in-
fections, and sexually transmitted diseases. Prostatitis is an inflammation of the prostate 
gland (prostate). Chronic prostatitis is the most 
common urologic disease in men under 50 years 
old an d it’s the third most common urological 
disease in men over 50 (after benign prostatic 
hyperplasia and prostate cancer). It’s the cause 
of 8% of all outpatient visits to urologists. The 
frequency of prostatitis increases up to 30 -73% 
with age. The effect of the disease on the quality 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frof life is comparable to myocardial infarction, 
angina, and Crohn’s disease. It also causes sig-
nificant psychological and social problems in 
men of working age with prostatitis. Prostatitis is caused by sexually transmitted in-
fections due to the anatomy of the prostate 
(prostate gland). The causative agents of infec-
tious prostatitis are bacteria, viruses, myco-
plasma, ureaplasma, chlamydia, trichomonas, 
and fungus. Infections, mainly sexually trans-
mitted, get to the prostate gland (prostate) from 
the bladder, urethra, rectum, and pelvic blood 
and lymphatic vessels. Prostatitis can be non -in-
fectious. Prostatitis is acute and chronic. Chronic prostatitis is one of the most common 
inflammatory conditions of the urinary tract: 
about 73% of men are affected by it. I’ve treated 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frmany men with chronic prostatitis and benign 
prostatic hyperplasia. Of course, the condition 
was cured completely in some of them, while 
others recovered only partially. The most important thing is to undergo se veral 
dry fasting treatments, a weekly dry fast with no 
water, undergo a preventative fasting treatment 
once a year, and follow all the doctor’s recom-
mendations. Unfortunately, only a few patients 
are willing to do that, and it explains the return 
of these  conditions after fasting. It’s very difficult to help men who have taken 
very strong antibiotics. It’s paradoxical that in-
fections become resistant, only the strongest 
bacteria survive, the immune system weakens, 
and immune cells stop functioning properly  
since there’s no need to fight infections if there’s 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frsomeone doing it for you. In such cases, only a 
series of fasts can help. The first one cleanses the 
body, mostly from antibiotics, and strengthens 
the immune system. The second one starts heal-
ing, and the third one completes the process. 19.2.11. Dry Fasting for Bronchopulmo-
nary Diseases  
Bronchial asthma is a disease that narrows air 
passages, since hypersensitivity to certain agents 
causes their inflammation; airway constriction is 
reversible. This dis ease is becoming more com-
mon. The number of patients with asthma has 
increased by 42%, and their mortality rate has 
increased by 35% between 1982 and 1992. The 
course of the disease is becoming increasingly 
more severe, and it requires hospitalization 
more and more often. Bronchial asthma affects 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frabout 10 million Americans. The frequency of 
asthma is also increasing in Russia, and it affects 
at least 5 -6% of the adult population. Nowadays, 
asthma affects more people than ever before de-
spite all the publiciz ed achievements and in -
depth scientific research. In patients with bronchial asthma, air passages 
narrow in response to the agents that don’t affect 
the air passages of healthy people. It can be 
caused by pollen, dust mites, animal dander, 
smoke, cold air,  and exercise. During an asthma 
attack, bronchial smooth muscles spasm, and 
the tissues lining the air passages swell because 
of inflammation and produce excessive mucus. The diameter of air passages decreases (this con-
dition is called a bronchospasm), and  it’s harder 
for a patient to inhale and exhale. Some cells in 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frthe respiratory system, particularly, the so -called 
mast cells, play an important role in airway con-
striction. Bronchial mast cells secrete histamine 
and leukotrienes –substances that cause smo oth 
muscle contraction, increase mucus production, 
and migration of certain types of white blood 
cells. Mast cells can produce these substances in 
response to foreign agents (allergens), such as 
pollen, dust mites, or animal dander. However, 
many people wi th no allergies are affected by a 
severe form of bronchial asthma. The reaction is 
similar when a patient with asthma performs 
any physical activity or inhales cold air. Stress 
and anxiety can also trigger the release of hista-
mine and leukotrienes by mast cells. Eosinophils 
are another type of cells present in the respira-
tory system of people with bronchial asthma. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frThey also secrete substances, including leukotri-
enes and certain others, which narrow air pas-
sages. Most of all, I encountered the positive effect of 
fasting when treating patients with bronchial 
asthma when I worked at the Goryachinsk resort 
on Lake Baikal. When I was still studying with Professor Y.S. Nikolayev, he told me that when starting treat-
ment of bronchial asthma patients, you have to 
make sure it’s not hormone -dependent, and you 
will gain experience and achieve positive healing 
effects. A mother and her daughter came for an ap-
pointment. The daughter was very thin and 
slouching. She looked like if she was 11 years old, 
although she was 1 4. She had an inhaler in her 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frhands. By that time, I certainly had many pa-
tients with asthma, but none of them were this 
young and thin. Deep inside, I doubted whether 
to accept her as a patient, but then her tearful 
mother told me the following story, “ My daugh-
ter went to a school disco with her friends, and she 
had an asthma attack there. For some reason, I 
was worried that day. I felt restless and anxious. I 
got off work and ran home. When I opened the 
door, I saw my girl hanging on a clothesline. Thank G od, everything was fine and I managed 
to save her ." When I asked her why she did it, she told me: 
“Why would I want this kind of life? I’m afraid 
to even leave the apartment.”  
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frHer mother told me, “As soon as we heard that 
asthma is treated with fasting at the Goryachinsk 
resort, we came here right away.”  
 Of course, after hearing this story, I couldn’t 
refuse them. The girl was patient and had very 
strong willpower. In general, I’ve noticed that al-
most all patients with asthma have a strong will 
and a gre at desire to recover. The disease and 
asthma attacks, which resemble death, probably 
impact their character. Her first water  fasting pe-
riod had lasted 14 days. After completing it, her 
weight was 36 kg, and I decided to end her fast-
ing. After the first fast, she didn’t entirely stop 
using the inhaler, but her asthma attacks became 
milder and less frequent. She had regular fasting 
days and came back 1 year later. After the second 
fasting period, her asthma was cured completely, 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fralong with all of her gynecolo gical problems. She 
gained healthy weight, and she now has two kids. I met her at the All -Russian conference on fast-
ing therapy held in Ulan -Ude. I didn’t even rec-
ognize her at first because I saw a beautiful and 
feminine woman. When I asked her about her 
health condition, she told me that she has for-
gotten about asthma entirely. My patient told me that his friend with bron-
chial asthma wanted to come to an appointment 
with me. I saw this “old man.” He was 64 years 
old, but he looked as if he was 80 because he was 
crooked, hunchbacked, and had severe asthma 
attacks. When there was no asthma attack, he 
was gasping and wheezing. He was wordy when 
talking about his condition, saying, “ Damn it, it 
tortures me, especially in the spring, when I need 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frto work. I’m a gardener, and when the attacks 
start, I fall right down on the ground. It has tor-
tured me for over 35 years. I guess it’s time for me 
to die. Although doctors have treated me many 
times, nothing helped .”  
The most important thing is that he’s never 
taken any hormones. That’s why he had a 
chance. That’s what I thought. I told him about 
our therapy and how to prepare for it. A month 
later, he came to our clinic in Altay. The most 
interesting thing is that during the preparation 
phase (he was on a vegetarian diet and cleansed 
the liver), he lost 10 kg. He used to eat meat three 
times a day. When he stopped eating meat, he 
started losing a lot of weight. Dry fasting therapy 
had a great effect on him, and he threw his in-
haler out on the 4th day. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frOf course, the Al tay Mountains have a unique 
healing microclimate that greatly enhances the 
effects of fasting. He walked 5 kilometers a day 
(he covered this distance for the first time in the 
last 20 years), admiring nature. He got up early 
every morning and walked  while the dew was 
still on the ground. His second fasting period 
had lasted for 9 days. When he was leaving, we 
somehow found his inhaler lying behind the 
sofa, but I was afraid that his asthma would re-
appear after returning to the ecologically con-
taminated city . We met 1 year later. He came to 
my appointment with a pocket full of inhalers 
that he habitually kept obtaining at the phar-
macy. “I should go to the flea market and sell 
them,” he said sarcastically. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frOne day, my regular patient called me late in 
the evening. She said that her brother had a pul-
monary abscess and he was supposed to undergo 
surgery. A pulmonary abscess is an infected fu-
sion of the lung tissue, separated from the sur-
rounding tissue by a capsule. It’s caused by mi-
crobial flora (in most cases, Staphylococcus). Considering the powerful anti -inflammatory 
effect of DF and the fact that the body shouldn’t 
contain any pathological fluid during this pe-
riod, I agreed to do help him. He has fasted for 9 
days with relative ease because he had no appe-
tite at all due to intoxication. I was surprised that 
he had calmly read books for 9 days, though al-
most all patients tell me that they usually have 
no desire to read books or watch TV. After 5 
days of DF, his symptoms of intoxication 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frstopped, along with the low- grade fever. When 
he came home and got an X -ray, and then went 
to see a surgeon, who carefully studied it and 
said: " Whoever assigned you to undergo surgery is 
a fool, because you have nothing in your 
lungs. "(...) 
Why is therapeutic fasting effective in treating 
bronchopulmonary pathology? Asthma attacks 
are a toxic storm that happens when mucus pro-
duction can no longer handle the burden put on 
it. The liver is one of the most problematic organs 
in patients with bronchial asthma. When we put 
leeches on the liver area before fasting, I’ve never 
seen good -quality blood. All the patients who 
cleansed the liver before fasting are always 
amazed by the detox results. Fasting cleanses the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frmain filter very effectively. During fasting, the 
blood gets rid of all t hings extraneous, and the 
plasma becomes transparent and clean as a whis-
tle, everything is balanced, including coagula-
tion factors. In this regard, therapeutic fasting cleanses the 
blood better than hemosorption or hemodialy-
sis. As we know, bronchial edema  caused by al-
lergic inflammation is one of the main patholog-
ical mechanisms in asthma. When there is no 
liquid, bronchial edema and inflammation dis-
appear on the 3rd day of dry fasting, and subse-
quently the adrenal cortex function of hormone 
(cortisol) secretion stabilizes gradually. The function of the adrenal cortex reaches its 
highest point on approximately the 5th day of 
DF. The amount of glucocorticoids flooding the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frblood is three times greater than usual and has a 
powerful anti -inflammatory effect, th us sup-
pressing all the inflammation sites in the body. After all, we know that glucocorticoids are the 
most powerful anti -inflammatory agents in the 
body. The action of free forms of glucocorticoids 
is another powerful therapeutic effect of fasting 
on infl ammatory diseases. At the same time, endocrine glands hypertro-
phy slightly during fasting. The parathyroid 
gland responsible for the immune system (thy-
mus) experiences the greatest increase in size 
during dosed fasting. The remaining viral and 
microbial in flammation sites are destroyed dur-
ing dry fasting. These factors achieve an inte-
grated therapeutic effect in patients with bron-
chial asthma. What is the negative effect of 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frinhalers? Why is it so hard to help patients with 
asthma who have undergone hormonal  therapy 
for over 5 years? Allergic inflammation in the 
bronchopulmonary apparatus causes a complex 
of pathological reactions, which always delay ex-
halation. That’s why respiratory acidosis devel-
ops in the blood. It restores and then enhances 
the process o f CO2 absorption by cells. This 
means that defense mechanisms are active even 
if a brief asthma attack occurs. Bronchospasm 
neutralizes the mediators of allergic inflamma-
tion. None of them are present in the blood dur-
ing attacks. At the same time, asthma attacks ac-
tivate the hypothalamus and the pituitary gland, 
which eventually improve the effect of neutraliz-
ing allergies through their channels as well. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frFirst, this complex effect restores the patency of 
the tracheobronchial tree and then relieves 
asthma attacks without external assistance. Sec-
ond, bronchospasms largely restore general bod-
ily adaptation reactions and neutralize allergic 
inflammation. Thus, the effect of protection 
against allergic inflammation is preserved for a 
long time after the attack. That’s why attacks are rare (1 -2 times a year) at 
the onset of bronchial asthma, even if allergens 
are in regular contact with the body. Patients can 
have asthma attacks but live long if they don’t 
take modern medications. It used to be the same 
for asthma  patients before the war because pa-
tients barely ever died from this disease and lived 
to a ripe old age. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frTwo drugs were released in the USA, England, 
and then Russia in the post -war years. It’s hor-
monal glucocorticoid therapy, where the inhal-
ers impact nerve endings (adrenergic receptors 
of efferent cells). As a result, there were many se-
riously ill patients who encountered the threat of 
lethal outcomes, and then there were deaths. Nowadays, it’s a common occurrence. It turned 
out that the direct -acting sympathomimetics 
quickly activate cAMP nucleotides through 
nerve endings (cell membranes), stopping the 
bron chospasm immediately. However, these 
chemical compounds in the membranes bind 
with an enzyme (chemoreceptor) to form a pro-
tein that is undesirable (nonstandard) for the 
body. From this moment on, it’s gradually de-
stroyed by the immune system. Thus, the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frfunctioning of the nerve cell receptor weakened 
by the disease is further aggravated by modern 
drugs, and then stops entirely. Besides, the opposite effect is often present in 
cases when this chemoreceptor isn’t activated 
but blocked by the intermediate chemi cal com-
pound degradation products. Receptors fail 
quickly – within 2 -3 years or even faster. At the 
early stages of asthma, patients are forced to 
breathe in these or similar medications in in-
creasing quantities and take substances harmful 
to nerve endings. They become dependent on 
these drugs. Finally, medications start acting 
paradoxically, and begin to cause bron-
chospasms. A life -threatening asthmatic condi-
tion develops, and it can lead to death if the glu-
cocorticoid hormones (adrenal hormones) that 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frcan make these nerve endings function aren’t 
used by patients. At the same time, the hor-
mones injected into the body ultimately destroy 
the immunogenetic system mechanism, thus 
creating a greater vicious circle and leading to 
the atrophy of the hormonal system. At the onset of bronchial asthma, the disease 
can be stopped by different yoga techniques, ac-
upuncture, segmental massage, cave therapy, or 
conventional cold water treatment. However, 
when patients become dependent on direct -act-
ing sympathomimetics (inh alers) and hor-
mones, only dosed fasting can help them break 
this vicious circle if they’ve taken hormones for 
less than five years. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.fr19.2.12. Cardiovascular Diseases: Hyper-
tension and Atherosclerosis  
After 5 -7 days of fasting, electrocardiogram re-
sults improve. They indicate an improvement in 
coronary circulation, while angina attacks stop 
completely. Blood pressure usually improves af-
ter 7 -10 days of fasting (after an acidotic crisis) 
and remains healthy during the entire period of 
fasting. This is not su rprising. Our heart is under tre-
mendous pressure throughout our lifetime in 
addition to different stress factors, physical exer-
tion, and fatigue. We often don’t realize that 
food burdens the heart even more than difficult 
exercises. It’s not a coincidence that many heart 
attacks and myocardial infarctions happen after 
a hearty meal. Fasting gives the heart the rest it 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frdeserves. It no longer needs to pump a huge 
amount of blood to support digestion, and heart 
muscles launch self -healing processes. After all , the heart practically doesn’t lose any 
of its weight during fasting. Blood circulation in 
the heart muscle improves, and its glycogen re-
serves increase. During fasting, there are practi-
cally no heart attacks, necrosis, or heart muscle 
inflammation. Heart beat is restored and the 
heart rate decreases. After fasting, the effect lasts for quite a long 
time, especially if the patients stick to a healthy 
diet. Fasting relieves heart overload and pro-
vides it with the opportunity to rest. With a heart 
rate of 80  beats per minute, the heart makes 
115,200 beats in 24 hours. Shortly after the pa-
tients start fasting, their heart rate decreases, and 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frmay be as low under 60 beats per minute for a 
period of time. Ultimately, their heart rate be-
comes 60 beats per minute throughout the entire 
fasting period, thus resulting in 86,400 beats in 
24 hours (28,800 beats less than the result before 
fasting). It will reduce the burden on the heart by 
up to 25%. Positive effects on heart activity are 
apparent not only in the decreasing heart rate 
but also in a healthy pulse. All of the above al-
lows the heart to rest, repair its damaged struc-
tures, and restore tissues. Fasting provides the heart with the needed 
chance to get rid of accumulated toxins. When 
toxemia is eliminated, cardiac tissues heal faster 
and better. Toxins stop irritating the heart, and 
it makes a striking comeback. All the above -
stated facts apply to most heart diseases. Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frHowever, there are some exceptions. Some-
times, we observe rare cases during fasting when 
heart activity is suppressed, and this condition 
requires ending the fast, because continuing it 
can be very dangerous. All cases when heart diseases are treated by 
fasting must be carried out under the direct and 
personal supervision of a physician with experi-
ence in fasting. Unnecessary risks aren’t allowed 
in patients with such conditions. Hypertension is one of the most common dis-
eases that affect the cardiovascular system. It’s 
accompanied by a temporary or persistent blood 
pressure rise. The disease involve s arteriole at-
tenuation caused by the increased tonic function 
of smooth muscles in arterial walls and cardiac 
output changes. Hypertension often affects 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frpeople with a family history of the disease. Soviet 
scientists claimed that the main causes of the on-
set and development of hypertension include 
nervous system problems, biochemical meta-
bolic processes, predisposing factors (hereditary 
and age -related), atherosclerosis, and preceding 
kidney diseases. I’ve already described my understanding of the 
developme nt of hypertension and atherosclero-
sis mechanisms. It should be noted that high 
blood pressure is caused by excessive weight. Scientists have found that about 2 km of capil-
laries are required to supply blood to 500g of fat 
cells. Therefore, if a person gai ns 1 kg, their vas-
culature increases by 4 km. As a result of the 
overall increase in the vasculature length, which 
is about 100,000 km in adults, the load on the 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frheart increases because it must conduct stronger 
and more frequent contractions to push the 
blood through all bodily organs and tissues un-
der high pressure. Combined fasting is perfect for obese patients. Many researchers state that this method leads to 
an earlier acidotic crisis and a greater reduction 
in the body fat mass. Patients with arterial hy-
pertension attain a faster improvement of their 
condition, thus the term of the fast and the 
length of their inpatient treatment are reduced. This method is the technique of choice if the un-
derlying disease is accompanied by obesity and 
edema syndrome. Moreover, the combination of dry and water  
fasting is well tolerated by patients, has a healing 
effect, while reducing the total treatment length, 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frand optimizes its timing due to an earlier onset 
of the acidotic crisis. Atherosclerosis  is the main cause of impaired 
blood supply to tissues and organs. Atheroscle-
rosis (and the diseases it causes) is a top killer! There’s a misconception that atherosclerosis is 
the result of aging. Sometimes it’s associated 
with absent -mindedness or forgetfulness. Both 
statemen ts are wrong. First of all, atherosclerosis can affect young 
people, while old patients may not have this con-
dition. Second, its symptoms are more diverse 
because it can affect the whole body from head 
to toe. Sclerosis literally means "induration". It 
can develop in lung tissues (pneumosclerosis), 
heart muscles (cardiosclerosis), kidneys (neph-
rosclerosis), and even bones (osteosclerosis). Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frAtherosclerosis, in fact, is a special form that 
affects large arteries. Atherosclerosis is a metabolic disorder in 
which cholesterol (a fat -like substance) levels in-
crease in the blood. Besides, lipoprotein (fat + 
protein) formation is increased. It penetrates the 
artery walls. At the same time, they accumulate 
cholesterol, followed by either plaque calcifica-
tion or ulceration. The risk of atherosclerosis in-
creases with aging. Fasting has a huge impact on blood circulation. With an empty stomach and intestines, there are 
no obstacles to blood circulation in the abdo-
men, and its composition is improved. Conges-
tion in the abdomen and the liver are eliminated. Fasting contributes to the restoration of the ca-
pillary circulation function in patients with 
Copyright © Vera Giovanna Bani 2019 www.dryfasting.infoThis Ebook was purchased by Gilberto Franchi email: gilbertofranchi@hotmail.frhypertension. Blood vessel walls become more 
elastic during fasting. Blood cholesterol levels 
decrease, thus eliminating the risk of new ather-
osclerotic plaques. The subsequent strict dairy 
and plant -based diet with salt restriction helps 
retain the results obtained during therapeutic 
fasting treatment. In patients with hypertension, fasting immedi-
ately affects its main symptom, namely, blood 
pressure. It is lowered starting with the very first 
days of fasting. Even in patients with persistent 
and long -term diseases, it’s normalized after 5 -7 
days of dry fasting. In most cases, blood pressure 
drops below the normal level by the en d of the 
fast. It increases and reaches the norm during 
the recovery period. To maintain a positive ther-
apeutic effect, regular short -term dry fasting

disc disease, protrusions, disk herniation, mi-
graine. According to a famous quote, " three doctors 
have four opinions ." When it comes to vertebral 
degenerative disc disease, there are many opin-
ions. When a patient asks about the cause of de-
genera tive disc disease , a doctor can easily name 
a dozen causes. Unfortunately, it’s hard to find a 
clear and specific reason why the above -men-
tioned disease affected you and a particular ver-
tebral area. There is even an opinion that degen-
erative disc disease  is a "polyetiological and 
monopathogenetic" disease. It’s a beautiful term

by different factors". It should be noted that degenerative disc dis-
ease affects only Homo sapiens among the ani-
mal species on our plan et. In literature, there’s 
also a statement that saber -toothed tigers were 
affected by it. I don’t know, I haven’t had the 
chance to check this fact, but the spread of de-
generative disc disease  in humans is truly global. It affects 99,(9)% of people. Degen erative disc 
disease  is the most common disease of the mus-
culoskeletal system that affects people of all ages. The term osteochondrosis , as degenerative disc 
disease is called in Russian,  is formed from two 
Greek words meaning "bone" and "cartilage". It’s 
a disease of the cartilage covering bones in the

cord, hip and knee joints. Intoxication and immobility are the main 
causes of degenerative disc disease. These factors 
alter the intervertebral disc structure. Due to the 
uneven vertical axial load, the ligaments of the 
vertebrae (especially in the lumbar spine) stretch 
as much as possible on one side or the other be-
cause a standing person constantly “changes 
legs”. As a result, there is a dislocation of the ver-
tebrae called spondylolisthesis. Besides, inter-
vertebral discs gradually degenerate and the nu-
cleus pulposus elasticity is lost. The disc loses its 
ability to act as a hydraulic shock absorber, and 
the axial load is transferred by it in the direction 
of the acting force.

a mechanism of storing toxins as one of the ways 
to fight the increasing endotoxemia. The main 
components of biological membranes (li popro-
teins) circulating in the blood can become its 
participants. Lipoproteins can transfer different 
fat-soluble toxins to the liver, where they’re "re-
cycled. " Lipoproteins "capture" and dissolve tox-
ins in themselves, thus binding them and mak-
ing them safe for the body. However, the amount 
of toxins that the liver can metabolize is limited. When the body has a powerful and permanent 
locus of endotoxemia (and that’s exactly what 
happens if the barrier function of the intestines 
is impaired), the liver stops  coping with its tasks. It simply doesn’t have enough time to process 
everything. As a result, the modified toxin -
