I have been sick for three weeks - Diarrhea for a week, fever for 5 days (99 - 101.9), and now nasal drainage and now a wheezing cough with sinus issues. I have taken: CLO2 for three days 3drops every hour while awake, Ivermectin (a dose based on my body weight every three days - horse paste).
*** what new thing can I try?
Information about me: 1) Patriot teacher who teaches good history and independent thinking. I have at least 10% of parents poisoning their children with flu and covid crap (even though I try to shed doubt on the oraxtice. 2) My wife had open heart surgery with an unforeseen complication- she almost died from loss of blood. Over a 12 hour surgery she received 9 liters of blood. According to Grok she has a 90+ percent chance of having at least one person who donated had received Covid vax. 3) I am completely unvaxed, when my schools district said vax or your job, I said I won't do it. If you fire me I will sue. 4) I am in my 50s and weigh 330 lbs, down from 390 two years ago when I stopped eating all flour and processed foods. 4) My labs are so good they reran them thinking the lab must have made a mistake l.
Fasting boosts the immune system.
In your earlier comment, you called 16-8 time-restricted eating a fast; it is not.
Your odds of entering a fasted state during a 16-hour window are very low. You will enjoy weight loss and some moderate clinical benefits for glucose control while doing TRE. If your last meal had any appreciable amount of carbs or glucose, you're not going to clear the glycogen from your liver in a 16-hour window to get any additional benefits
Actual fasting is wildly beneficial and triggers cellular apoptosis, autophagy, white blood cell production, and mesenchymal stem cells upon refeeding. It is dangerous when sick to engage in prolonged fasting as your immune system is suppressed by your body being in a fasted state. Your healthy cells go into hiding during an actual fast so autophagy and apoptosis can take place.
So OP should get better and then do some prolonged fasting to trigger that needed cellular cleanup and metabolic recharge.
Except that I have tried this. I went from 320 to 270 by only fasting. At first you adjust nothing on your food intake. I did double lunches, after 3 months I couldn't finish a normal lunch.
Once you start feeling the carbs go away at hours 14, getting to 16 hours is hard. Then you slowly restrict more until you feel it at 12 hours and still go to 16.
People talk out of their asses too much here.
Bro...
You didn't read what I wrote, and now you're saying I'm talking out my ass?
I am a literal expert on water fasting, biological fasting, and all things related to it. I have trained countless PCP's on how to use biological fasting to improve metabolic syndrome, inflammation, and other fat westerner conditions. I can tell you the medications that block the fasted state the most popular being Metformin (very ironic) and the fact that caffeine in excess of 100 milligrams opens up your PKA pathway and decreases the benefits of fasting. We could discuss the contraindications for engaging in actual fasting, as well as which medications need adjusting, stopping, or rule you out entirely from trying the process, but nobody cares.
In the last 20 or so years I have completed over 40 five day biological fasts.
What you are doing is very healthy and you've made some nice improvements. You are just tickling the window of an actual fast with what you do as you need to shut down all 3 of your nutrient-sensing pathways to be in an actual fast (mTOR, PKA, and IGF-1).You need to fast for 48-72 hours to shut them down (feel free to use the internet and look it up).
Good on you for losing a lot of weight, cutting carbs, and engaging in an aggressive form of TRE or IF. Time to stop talking out your ass and telling me I don't know what I'm saying or that it's a good idea for an actively sick person to not eat for 48-72 hours and try and fast their way to health.
You are arrogant as F. From your first response to this.
Thank you for your time.
Started a 12 hours into a 72 hour fast. I will break the fast with two boiled eggs and a hamburger. If still sick, When I do eat it will be only boiled or fried eggs and burgers until I feel well. Thank you :)
