What I did say was a one day dry can be quite beneficial if you properly prepare yourself -- meaning drinking plenty of water (and fruits) before your fast. Emptying your system of water for a day of two and then drinking the 3 - 4 litres on the third day is like doing a inner body flush.

You have completely made this up and have no idea what you're talking about.

There is no benefit to dehydration, none. There is no "inner body flush" by dehydrating yourself then drinking again- unless your "inner body flush" means recovering normal brain cell function, normal blood flow, heart rate etc that was increasingly degrading every moment you remained dehydrated. Yeah, I imagine it probably feels great to return to a normal functioning brain, cardiovascular and respiratory system after a number of days without it. What a great flush!

For anybody with a human body, here are just a few things happening to you under dehydration, ever increasing with time:

- Brain tissue fluid decreases, impacting cell function in the brain, and everything from mood to cognitive ability.
- Blood becomes thicker, heart rate increases, cannot pump it adequately, drop in blood pressure
- Ability of body to regulate temperature degrades, hyperthermia (increase in body temp)

These things and more begin to compound on each other the longer it goes on.

Not dying after X number of days does not indicate purposeful dehydration is healthy, beneficial, good or smart to try. Zero benefits to not drinking fluids, and very real and increasing negative impact, from the very first hours.

Be safe guys, and for the love of god ignore the "dry fast" trolls.
