My longest hunger strike was 100 +2/3 days, and one at 62 days, a couple at 50 days each, and many at about 30 days each. The key to surviving a long hunger strike is to maintain your electrolytes:. Potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium, phosphate.Drink 1 cup of milk per day and you've ensured that your electrolytes are close to being correct. (BOP policy statement on inmate hunger strikes, 6562.005, states that acceptance of liquids does not constitute breaking a hunger strike). Jim Bell
