How do 10 days of no water not result in certain death?

Because your body is more capable than what mainstream modern medicine is telling you? Keeping you in the dark about the healing benefits of fasting is their No. 1 agenda along with pushing life-long "treatments".

I do two 8-day-long dry fasts every year, and have completed several 12-day ones as well.

I also water fast for 30 days twice a year.

You have no idea what you are missing out on, health wise, if you are suffering from any sort of disease modern medicine is telling you is incurable.

I'm skeptical and intrigued. Mostly about your world view since you are on HN and that does some selection. Apart from the water thing, who do you think defines agenda of "mainstream modern medicine"? Is there like some secret communication channel between all researches around the world to keep everybody in dark about how water is not necessary for well functioning brain? I'm sorry if it sounds offensive, but I'm sincerely curious how do you see it.
