Water Fasting — The Revelation and The Protocol

This book did not arise from a simple desire to write about fasting. It was born from a directly lived experience, from personal fasts, from encounters with people in difficult moments of life, from observations gathered in water fasting retreats.

The Revelation

Personal experience, history, efficiency, studies, research, testimonials, motivation, emotions and soul.

The first volume is the discovery part. You enter the story of water fasting, from its historical and spiritual roots to its modern rediscovery through science, research and real experiences. It speaks about the biological mechanisms activated during fasting — autophagy, ketosis, cellular cleansing, metabolic reset, regeneration — and how the body can begin to work in your favor when given stillness and time. But this book does not stop at the body. Water fasting is also viewed as an inner experience, as an encounter with one's own emotions, fears and questions.

The Protocol

Preparation, support, correct recovery, extending the benefits, tips & tricks, useful information and testimonials.

The second volume is the practical part. While the first helps you understand why water fasting is so valuable, the Protocol helps you see how it can be approached more clearly, more organized and more responsibly. The important stages of water fasting are developed — from preparation beforehand, through support during the fast, managing states that may arise, to the correct recovery — one of the most important and often neglected stages of the entire process.

The work's structure

Why two volumes?

Because water fasting needs two great things: understanding and protocol. Without understanding, fasting can remain just a hard attempt based on ambition. Without protocol, enthusiasm can become confusion.
