My Brothers and I fasted all our lives. When we were very young, we started with four days no food or drink for Ceremony. Then we went on the road and extended food fasting up to seven days. A couple years we experimented with "as far as we could go". I was the wimp at 27 days. Older brother went 42, and Middle brother did 61. I wouldn't recommend 61! 42 might be good for visions, my bro reported colors coming out of his professors mouths when they talked. A four day fast is very good for personal control and daily fasts for health. That's my take. Good article!
