- istultus 2y agoI'm sorry if you "sense a lack of open-mindedness" in my skepticism regarding Russian medicine. I'm actually very curious - I've water fasted myself. But I try to be rational, and tend to think anecdotal evidence shouldn't move my priors too much.
- lambdaba 2y agoI don't know why you're making it about Russian medicine, as I said I've only given this example to show there is interest in structured arrangements for dry fasting, I guess it backfired because those Russians are backwards pre-scientific primitives or something. Fasting is an ancient practice, perhaps the most ancient medical practice.
- Alupis 2y agoThere's a difference between not eating food for a day, and not drinking any liquids for 10 days... one of these can and will kill you. Do you know which? It seems you do not.
- lambdaba 2y agoYou don't know what you're talking about though, I'm in the community and I assure you there are MANY of use that do it, some more often then others. I know a guy how once did 3 back-to-back 15 day dry fasts with 3 day breaks in between.
