‘Dry Fasting’ Fad Diet Carries Risks: Here’s What You Need To Know | TODAY

The dry fasting "Fad" that has existed for over 5000 years

[keysmith]

The most dangerous thing about dry fasting is company can't profit from it.

[Dillon]

Risk: heals your body, makes you lose weight, and makes you appreciate water and food more.
I hate the media.

[piemasta]

I LOVE how all the comments show people can think for themselves and don’t believe this for a minute. People all around are waking up more and more and aren’t trusting “authorities” good for us.

[richardpalmer]

New fad? Dry fasting is thousands of years old.

[mitakachuy.]

diet? it's not a diet it's ancient healing therapy..

[Luci]

The more you dry fast the more they lose money hahaha

[latoyaoutloud]

I lived and had more energy than ever. Opposite of everything he has said smh.

[Coronaboii]

Shout out to my people who dry fasted anyways and benefited from it 💪🏽

[dervla]

I love the comments under this video. Shows that people aren’t the fools they take us to be

[XbotLife]

Dr says it’s bad But gladly give drugs with a list of side effects

[andymilinakus]

"It's dangerous because big pharma can't profit off you" Dry fasting right now "Dr".

[dwainebeckford]

I just dry fasted for three days and nights, and I feel very healthy and energetic now.

[dbabeh]

These people are clueless. Giving advice on a subject you know nothing about.

[royedwards]

If its good enough for Jesus then its good enough for me.

[antonioharrison]

I was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. 12 years ago. Since that day, I've been dry, fasting, and fasting for UP to 7 days, dry fasting for no more than 48 to 72 hours, and my congestion heart failure is in remission. Doctors say they can't find any Signs of it. And I feel amazing

[cornpipe]

I have seen incredible results with both dry and water fasting. I personally find dry fasting easier, I don't seem to get as hungry and the healing of old wounds is unbelievable. It's sad to see people with little or no knowledge of fasting out there warning against it. More people should know about fasting, it places the body in an optimal state for healing and many people have thrown away their prescription meds for good as a result. And oh ya, it's free.

[rogerbird]

What a coincidence that every means by which people can improve their own health is dangerous?

[MsLiboma]

I had ulcerative colitis, thousands of dollars at doctors did not help me, 2 months of one 24 hour dry fast a week and I was cured .

[freedomishealthy]

Literally the opposite of everything this doctor is saying is true. What else does he lie about?
