Dry fasting can cause problems with the kidneys because of the strain placed on them. One of the most dangerous methods of purification is dry fasting. When a person is on a diet or even undergoing a course of therapeutic fasting, the amount of liquid, on the contrary, should be increased. After all, it is water that removes excess salts, toxins (slags) from the body. Refusal of water is a dangerous folly. Dehydration of the body and intoxication with decay products occurs, but not cleansing at all.
Ordinary tap water in a modern city causes catastrophic damage due to insufficient treatment of industrial waste. In addition, it is usually chlorinated. From such water quickly released free chlorine, chlorine dioxide and other compounds that oxidize in the body a lot of things that oxidize is not necessary. In addition, chlorine kills beneficial bacteria that synthesize essential vitamins.
Boiling kills bacteria, coagulates colloidal dirt particles, softens the water, evaporates volatile organic substances and part of the free chlorine. But the concentration of salts, heavy metals, pesticides increases. Chlorine associated with organics, when heated, turns into a terrible poison – a powerful carcinogen dioxin. Dioxins are 68 times more poisonous than potassium cyanide. We drink boiled water, and it is slowly killing us.
When water is sedimented for at least three hours, the concentration of free chlorine decreases, but iron ions, heavy metal salts, carcinogenic organochlorine compounds, radionuclides are practically not removed. Distilled water (past the vapor state) is unsuitable for constant use, as it does not contain trace elements necessary for the body. Its constant use leads to disorders of the immune system, heart rhythm, digestion process. Water filtration can also not give the desired effect. In order to know which filter to buy (charcoal, membrane, bactericidal, complex), you first need to have information about the composition of water. It is also necessary to regularly replace the filter, because after a while it begins to give back to the water accumulated impurities and microflora multiplying in them.
During dry fasting, the body does not need to process water to the extent that it did when eating and drinking normally. It is obvious that kidneys and liver during dry fasting almost completely rest, which is not the case with water fasting. In dry fasting their recovery is much faster. Therefore, the question of effectiveness falls away by itself, but there is also such a concept as expediency. For example, some people cannot afford dry fasting for many reasons, but they can endure water fasting.
After going through water fasting, I successfully came out of the fast and started eating normally. Then I felt a heaviness in the area of kidneys. Before that I did not even know whether I had them or not. And there is nothing surprising in it, I had fasted only on water for the last 10 days of fasting, and kidneys had to work hard. But other organs of the organism successfully performed preventive work. When leaving after a seven-day dry no discomfort was not observed. Try it yourself. After dry fasting the organism is more viable, it recovers faster, the results are better. Average terms of dry fasting can be endured, but careful preparation and training are necessary.
Talking about harm to kidneys by dry fasting means not understanding the processes that take place during fasting. It would be more correct to ask whether modern drinks and our tap water are harmful to the kidneys? In our body kidneys are one of the main organs of excretion. And they can be called a direct excretory organ – they filter blood, remove excess water, unnecessary substances formed as a result of metabolic processes in the cells of the body, unused substances obtained as a result of digestion of food, medicines and others.
All this is diluted with water filtered from blood plasma. It should be remembered that almost all the liquid entering the body enters our blood, undergoes a number of transformations in the body (purified, structured, heated or cooled), which consumes a very large amount of energy, and only after that is turned into urine. Therefore, the quality of drinking water has a very big impact on our health. But our kidneys are not a separate organ living an independent life, they are an integral part of our body and they are a strong organ.
It takes a lot of effort to damage the kidneys during dry fasting. Their damage is most often a consequence of malfunctions of other organs and systems, respectively, and the whole organism should be treated. In order to cure kidney disease, you need to put in order the activities of the body as a whole. One of the ways to restore lost health is dry fasting. It gives an opportunity to the body to eliminate all violations in its activity. Only it does not affect a certain organ or system, but has a health-improving effect on all organs and systems of our body at once.
In most kidney diseases dry fasting has a noticeable positive effect. If at usual medicinal methods of treatment the load on kidneys is not reduced at all, but, on the contrary, increases due to excretion of products of decay of medicines through them, then at fasting the load on kidneys is significantly reduced. Thus, if in the first days of fasting there are significant changes in urine even in healthy people, at the end of fasting there is a steady normalization of urine composition. Urine of a sick person quickly comes to a normal state – protein, erythrocytes, leukocytes disappear, the amount of salts excreted with urine decreases.
Thus, in the treatment of glomerulonephritis in order to relieve the exacerbation, which is usually manifested by an increase in the amount of protein, red blood cells, edema, requires long-term treatment with a variety of drugs. When using fasting on the 3-4th day the patient’s edema decreases, the amount of excreted fluid is normalized. At the end of fasting, the composition of the urine is completely normalized in a few days and then remains normal.
Dry fasting is very effective in inflammatory diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract. And the effect comes regardless of the type of the causative agent of the disease. Thus, in ancient times, dry fasting was successfully used to treat venereal diseases. In case of pyelonephritis fasting rather quickly relieves inflammation, decreases urination disorders (frequent or infrequent, painful), decreases and disappears pain in the lower back, lower abdomen, normalizes urine analysis (disappears leukocytes, elevated protein, bacteria and salts).
It is important to remember that the kidneys are very closely related to the liver. Most often, kidney disease is a consequence of the inability of the liver to perform its function normally. Therefore, it is especially important to perform cleansing procedures before fasting and to follow the diet afterwards. In most cases, properly conducted dry fasting will give good results for most kidney diseases.
