Is there a benefit to dry fasting? I’ve never even considered it

  It helps draw more toxins out as the fat is metabolized. Trying to increase glutathione levels is helpful for removing toxins from the body. There are a number of tests like the Ion Panel Test and Mycotoxin tests that require preparation like this to identify metal and mold levels. Generally dry fasting 12 - 16 hours is a good start. Muslims do this during Ramadan and have for a long time. While lacking a microscopic perspective, I suspect that most of them feel better.

    Fasting has lots of well-documented benefits, but your claim sounds pseudoscientific. A water-fasting proponent would probably encourage us to drink water to "flush out toxins". What toxins, exactly, are being "drawn out" here? And if it's true: is drawing lots of toxins out of fat cells into blood and surrounding tissue a good thing? I'd love to see some sources.
