This is a very interesting post. I would think water would be helpful for removing toxins. If you don't drink anything doesn't the dehydration harm your body?
No. Your fat cells are made up of fat, but also water. More water than fat, actually.
When you fast, the fat cells must break down to supply the body with fatty acids, some of which are converted to ketones, which are used for energy. This is the main reason why our bodies store fat in the first place -- it is stored energy for future times when food is scarce. It is a natural process.
Dry fasting forces the body to break down the fat cells even faster because the body needs not only the fatty acids, but also needs the water in those cells for various functions of the body. This is why dry fasting makes you lose bodyfat faster than water fasting -- it forces your body to break down those fat cells at a faster rate.
Also, the water in your fat cells is a much healthier type of water for your body than the water you drink.
The water in fat cells that is released during dry fasting is deuterium depleted water, which is healthy for your body. It may also help prevent cancer.
Deuterium depleted water delays tumor progression in mice, dogs, cats and humans.

Wow, thanks for the thorough feedback. That is all so interesting.
The last time I heard of deuterium water was when the Nazis were making heavy water in Norway and we sabotaged their effort.
