Dry Fasting. Dry fasting is also known as an Absolute Fast, Black Fast, and Hebrew Fast. This is fasting at its extreme, and usually only attempted for spiritual clarity and/or union. Unlike other types/styles of fasting, dry fasting has not been studied to the same extent, so is lacking in supportive evidence of its efficacy to physical health. It's usually only done for one day or less; dry fasts longer than one day usually happen only by accident and not by design, i.e. extreme illness or duress.
