Question: why? Why not to do more shorter fasts rather than a long one? Unless you're heavily obese and need to shave weight quickly, what's the upside?

In Jung's book, I think I can remember the 'safe' fasting period was about five days at most, when you go over that you should take precautions.

Do you expect that a longer fasting can bring more rewarda than multiple, shorter fasts?
