Nicotine during Dry Fast

[lorriwolf]

Hello Everyone, I am new to this forum and have done a couple short dry fasts, around 20 hours in the past. I'm really excited to be now preparing for a 3 day dry fast. I have lots of experience with extended water fasting from over a week and a few of them have been 16 days long.

My question is about using Nicotine during a dry fast. I am a non-smoker using Nicotine for health benefits for thyroid and protection from shedding ( per Dr. Bryan Ardis). I've been using a patch almost daily for more than 6 months now. Sometimes I forget to put one on. I am also chewing 1 piece of 2 mg gum or using a tiny piece of NicNac mint when I go out in public. Also not every day.

I'm assuming the mints would break a fast. What about the gum? I'm thinking not adviseable, but just checking. I figure a patch is fine to wear during the fast, but also wanted to check on that.

I am so grateful for all the information shared by Yannick. Exciting times!!!
