The science and benefits of fasting
About water fasting
What happens in your body during a therapeutic water fast and why it works.
Water fasting means drinking only water for a set period, to gain preventive, therapeutic, transformational and spiritual benefits.
The science behind it
The ACAD Synergy
Water fasting activates four interconnected biological forces at once, an orchestra of natural healing indirectly recognised by two Nobel Prizes.
- A
Autophagy
Recognised with a Nobel Prize in 2016, it cleans up and recycles damaged cells, clearing out toxins, bacteria and viruses. - C
Ketosis
Shifts your metabolism to using fat as its energy source. Reduces inflammation and supports a clean, stable energy balance. - A
Apoptosis
Eliminates dangerous cells, helping prevent disease and encouraging the rebuilding of healthy tissue. - D
Detoxification
Frees the body of waste and inflammation, amplifying the effects of the other three processes.
Optimal duration
Why 21 days?
Through research and years of practice, Vasile Nemeș has found that a 21-day fast brings remarkable benefits. It is a point of balance: neither too short nor excessive.
Over this period, water reaches deep into the body, washing, cleansing, oxygenating and resetting the system.
- 7 days
Ideal for beginners. Initial cleansing and metabolic adaptation.
- 10 days
Deeper ACAD processes, with visible benefits in energy and clarity.
- 14 days
Significant transformation, reduced inflammation, emotional balance.
- 21 days
Deep transformation. The recommended duration for the full benefits.
