An accidental discovery in Costa Rica changed everything I knew about fasting. This seven-step protocol turns sunlight and hunger into alchemy—and a three-day fast into a walk in the park.
Another absorbing and enjoyable piece with fabulous input and advice - this time that we can add some value to. Living back in Cape Town means more sun - just as you say, sans clothing in our private garden - is part of our way of life here. It categorically makes you feel better and more energised. The value add though is the 100 hour fast that we have both done, but that categorically helped healed Lara's torn knee ACL & MCL's without surgery.
Part of the 100hour flush is a stem cell surge at 100 hours, and Lara's healing (and what she felt after the fast) proved it correct. The regime claims an immune system reset at 72 hours, and since then, she has also not had a sniffle of any kind since May 2025. Neither have I. The input came from Ben Azadi on LinkedIn as follows:
➡️ In the first 14 hours, your insulin drops and digestion completes.
➡️ By hour 17, your cells begin a self-cleaning process called autophagy.
➡️ At 24 hours, your gut begins to heal.
➡️ At 36 hours, your body switches to burning fat for fuel.
➡️ At 48 hours, you reset dopamine receptors (yes, the ones tied to mood and motivation).
➡️ At 72 hours, your immune system gets a full reboot.
➡️ And at 100 hours? You experience a powerful surge in stem cells—key for regeneration and anti-aging.
Ayurveda says alot about this. Fast, cold water bath and sun exposure after. In the day barefoot on natural materials ( A Costarican beach or forest sound perfect.) Evening sun, meditation and sleep. The unlimited reset. I enjoyed this read. Thank you.
Apple cider vinegar ~the mother (a teaspoon full ~ I use the bottle cap) in water (filtered rain water ~ not tap) twice a day. In fact avoid tap water generally.
Add to this 2 drops of Lugol's Iodine (5% soltion) twice a week.
A teaspoon of Cayenne pepper + Paprika + a clove of garlic (finely chopped) in a glass of water once a day.
Proper celtic salt, sea salt, mineral salt. Start with a pinch and up the dose. You can feel the limit if youre gut gets funny. So start slowly. Were salt deficient by default, and it requires an adjusment time to get back to a natural optimum
Thanks Jan! Great article! Reccomended by Christof Plothe
