Dry Fasting

The Phoenix Protocol employs dry fasting for two unique outcomes: rapid healing and its ability to activate adult stem cells. Activating adult stem cells is its unexpected potential: endogenous stem cell therapy.

Dry fasting is hormetic stress. It’s a nutritional challenge to initiate an adaptive response that improves biological functionality and thereafter a higher tolerance to more severe challenges.

The body has the ability to make its own water, endogenous water, during the transformation of fatty acids stored in adipose tissue into ATP.

Water is just one of the byproducts of creating ATP in the mitochondria, so all 37.2 trillion cells are making plenty of water: endogenous water.

Pathogenic organisms can’t make their own water and, as a result, they are eliminated by day 5 of a dry fast. Drinking water during fasting keeps these organisms alive.

During the first 2 days of a dry fast, only water weight is lost. From day 3 to day 7, fat is lost. After the fast, this water weight loss is rapidly regained.

Dry fasting is the first step to radical life extension because it maintains an extended period of autophagy to clean out years of stored intracellular trash and age markers to restore youthful cellular function.

Autophagy is the primary degradative pathway for recycling cell parts, digesting bacteria, viruses, and damaged proteins, as well as delivering nutrients into cells and waste out of the cells.

An 11-day dry fast is the optimal length of time to cure all conditions, and no further health benefits are achieved by fasting longer.

It is very important to perform the mode of taking ‘air baths’ by walking at night in cool moist air and periodically dousing. The skin begins to ‘breathe’ by feeding on moisture since the body is absorbing in the ‘reverse’ direction of excretion.

Without the impact of negative information held in external exogenic water, blood and lymph are purified intensively through a sort of internal filtration process.

Renewal of lymph and blood during dry fasting takes place thanks to endogenic ‘water of life.’

An excess of deuterium can change three-dimensional structures in the body, creating misshapen proteins and lipids that don’t function properly.

Dry fasting is the most effective way to rapidly lower deuterium levels.

Although dry fasting removes senescent cells, the Phoenix Protocol employs Fisetin, prior to fasting, to further improve senescent cell removal.

About 20 years ago we found a set of genes that controls aging. Those genes are called sirtuins, and there are seven of them in our bodies. What they do is protect all organisms from deterioration and disease.

Demethylation is the key to return cellular function and reverse aging.

Dry fasting activates the cellular and autophagic repair systems that can demethylate DNA and, furthermore, target weak and damaged cells for removal altogether.

All the methylation markers created during the life of a cell are passed on when it divides. The methylation markers created during the life of the next-generation cell are added to the inherited methylation markers, and the sum total are passed on to the following generation, and so on and so on.

Very simply, if you eat every day of your life, deep system-repair isn’t activated and bad outcomes become inevitable.

Dry fasting effectively ‘de-ages’ cells because cells can employ autophagy to rapidly restore inner cellular organelles.

Autophagy removes old weak cells, non-functioning cells, and cells with too much accumulated methylation damage.

The Phoenix Protocol employs dry fasting for two unique outcomes: rapid healing and its ability to activate adult stem cells. That’s its unexpected potential: endogenous stem cell therapy.

To realize this unexpected potential, stem cells have to be woken up to start proliferating.

Dry fasting turns off the stem cell ‘stay asleep’ signal that prevents radical life extension. It’s a signal kept on by insulin levels in the blood. Glucose stimulates the pancreas to make insulin, so if you’re eating and metabolizing sugar you can’t turn it off. It takes three days of dry fasting to turn off all insulin production in the pancreas because only then is there no glucose in the bloodstream.

Dry fasting for 7 days or longer gives all the adult stem cells the time needed to wake up and divide enough times to flood the system with progenitor cells.

Dry fasting that lasts long enough to provide for this regeneration cycle can provide a unique, system-wide regeneration effect.

Seven days of dry fasting activates enough of your own stem cells for a whole-body restoration.

Dry fasting releases Muse-AT stem cells directly into the bloodstream where they are distributed throughout the body. They are tough and they replicate fast.

The Phoenix Protocol is a 7-day dry fast performed once or twice per year, with a minimum of a six-month interval between fasts. Rest periods between protocols allow time for new stem cells to chemically induce restoration in their resident tissue.
