RE: How Fasting can help us recover from bacterial, but not viral, infections

in #health8 years ago

You said that dermatitis did not totally heal. Is it still the condition or did more fasting help?
Do you fast regular like once a week or only when your body needs healing?
I have done an article on Chaos theory where the initial condition determines the future conditions of a system. I am now trying to relate this to the fasting and the state of the body. Can fasting be an initial condition which results in a different outcome for the body?

Sorry to be so late with this reply.

I'd say that I have very nearly fully recovered from the dermatitis. I still have some spots of slightly pink skin, some of which are not quite as smooth as the surrounding skin where I did not have dermatitis. The fasting only really helped in an obvious way while I was fasting. Once I started eating again, the dermatitis would come back. I don't fast regularly. Most often I fast when I take long international flights. I have one scheduled for tomorrow, in fact, and I plan to fast.

I don't think the recovery is chaotic in any real sense. If it were, slight changes in diet or other conditions would result in greatly different outcomes. I do suspect that fasting may help to reset the body, by prompting the body to degrade and dispose of older proteins and use up stored fat.

Thanks for the reply. I have started a routine to fast for a day once in a week. I have read that the body excrete Growth Hormone again (I am older than 40) which help the body to heal. My theory is that a regular fast should improve my general health over time, but I am still experimenting.
