I fasted for 19 days. A benefit that is often overlooked is emotional healing. The body holds on to emotions at a molecular level. Fasting helped to jump start my healing from PTSD.

Just finished a 40 day water fast. My doctor called my transformation miraculous and inspirational.

[Dakiniwoman]

My longest water-only fast was 30 days... It was the very best experience of my life and I am 75 years old... I fasted 21 days at age 71... water only fasting is the most valuable thing anyone can do for their physical, mental and Spiritual health... my opinion...

My longest fast so far was 21 days, and have done about 3 of those and multiple other fasts of days to weeks. I am currently 16 days into a 40 day fast. I've done many fasts since my first 6.5 day fast at 17. It is one of the best things you can do for your mind and body.

"If you can control what you eat, you can control anything."
Fasting is GOOD for the body. We should eat to live, not live to eat.

My cousin did this for 30 days and lost 70 pounds and got close to enlightenment. Truth in this.

For us Christians, fasting helps us get breakthroughs from God, personal miracles and greater intimacy with God and the Bible

[pamelasue]

I read Herbert Shelton’s book 20 years ago along with Paul Bragg’s book The Miracle of Fasting and began the fasting journey starting with 1 day then 3 then 7 and then 10. The longest I have fasted is 21 days. I’m 65 I have no health issues and have lots of vitality. I so appreciate doctors like Dr Goldhammer who really care and want to help people achieve TRUE health.

[blancaash]

Fasting is so powerful! I’ve fasted several times in my life. Water fasts are absolutely amazing and life changing.

[omarvelez]

My record is 29 days. Currently I am starting a 40 day fast. Can't recommend it enough!

[debbie]

I've fasted for 24 days but that was on small amounts of juice and lots of water. Felt out of this world. Would love to try a full water fast. Fantastic interview and subject matter. Thank you.

[shaikan]

I've done a 5 day water fast and can attest to its benefits. It's not something easy to do but well worth it. Definitely something to do at least once a year.

[airdance]

Your most practical interview ever! No wealth without health.

[frankgiammarese]

Tremendous interview. Over the last years I’ve done 2-30day fast, a 42 day a 43 day and my longest was a 53 day fast. DO IT.. you won’t regret it!

[melanieanastos]

I have fasted 40 days for many years and the last time I did 58 days with no food. I felt great   !!!! So much energy !!!

[anahitanamavar]

I’ve water fasted from 24 hours - 4 days. It cleared my mind and got rid of old emotions that were holding me back. I truly recommend it. It’s always a different experience. I feel like each time I was getting rid of a different emotion.

[thomrossetti]

Great interview as usual Patrick. I want to take this opportunity to say, I really admire you. Even with the toughest interviews you allow for people to speak and ask the right questions as a real Pro does. Thanks for all that you do. I am presently on day 2 of a 5-7 day fast presently and this one got me even more motivated.
