The 50-60 day, as I know, was done by some Russians, including some people working on beating radiation sickness. Scary numbers.
The Russians are leaders in this extreme stuff.
The issue here is a difficult one, but I gotta share: I knew a few people that did the extreme fasts. Impressive bas***ds and bi***es. But, they died one by one. I kinda got a feel that the 40-day, Christ fast, is a once-in-a-lifetime thing (as it was for... Jesus).
10s and 20s were OK, but once you go more than once into the "when God has to refocus on YOU and... ask: dude/dudette, ***?" e.g. you do the 30-40 day distances more than once, you cut your time on Earth by years.
Yeah, OFC, you gain godlike insight, but it becomes useful in your next incarnation, kinda.
Why? One example is that after a 30-40 you need to return to eating over a 10-14 day period, and even then (as you are) keep a certain diet, often NEVER returning to previous eating habits.
I would be really interested if you did any medical tests NOW now.
If you ever do the next one, test yourself as well. At various stages.
I had some cool results, although at shorter distances.
