I was in the midst of an unrelenting flare and did a 96 hr fast. The only pain I experienced was hunger.
Same
Did you drink water?
The body is self healing. If fasting is done correctly, the body will heal itself.
Yes the body is self healing, but it is also not perfect, so "might" or instead of "will" or "improve" instead of "heal" probably is closer to the truth
I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I thought I had a healthy diet (thinking that chicken and eggs were good for me), and I am very active. After reading your book and watching your videos I can see that I've been kidding myself. I'm on day 5 of a plant-based diet. I'm very motivated because I have joint pain that's been steadily increasing, high BP and LDL blah blah blah. Thank you for all the valuable information. In god we trust, everyone else bring data!
Hi fellow traveler!
I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism in 2011. Got on Levaxin (european name) and felt better. Not good, but for me it was day and night at the time! I then stumbled upon a blog of a girl with hypothyroidism who went raw vegan, felt better and could go off her meds. I read everything I could find for 48 hours straight online, with little to no sleep, and made the switch the following day.
That was 13 years ago...I'm still on Levaxin but the diet removed the last symptoms. I would say the meds took away half and the diet removed the rest.
Today I'm not raw vegan but still vegan...btw...I hate the word vegan! I prefer plant-based! I still have a couple of events per year where I find my self at a party or event and just go with the flow.
It's a cliche that everyone hates...but...you are what you eat...literally! The food and drink you ingest is what creates new cells in your body. Physical activity, sleep and stress management also plays in...but it is in that order.
Doctors and their meds suppress the symptoms but doesn't fix the underlying cause/the reason you developed a disease. You can suppress it or get rid of the reason your body is sick.
My 2 cents!
You need a carnivore diet
God bless you
@@Inearnest No you don't...! No go away you troll...
@@7rigg3r lol you don’t wanna hear the truth

The fasting center mentioned, TrueNorth Health Center in Santa Rosa, has more information on their website and cooking demos for whole plant foods which can also offer improved energy, mobility, and reduced inflammation even if a person doesn't have a diagnosis. 🥦❤ Thank you Doc and staff, love your work please keep them coming 🥦🎉
True North is an awesome place. My mother and I were treated very well.
Thank you for auto-translate.
At 58 my life changed within 4 months. I fast for 18-6 and 23-1 on a Sunday. 1
Typically 8-16 should be enough.
@@_Credence_ It depends on you goal. For instance, 15-24 hours is good for autopagy, 36 is best for fat burning, 48 hours resets your dopamine, while 72 strengthens your immunity. These are estimates of course as every body is different. In general though, I would say fasting 16-18 hours everyday is easy enough for most people to be to stick to everyday to get the benefits. Any less than that, especially 8-12, most everyone already does without even realizing it and probably doesn't offer much benefit.
@@iemjay 8/16 is just the right dose. No need to get obsessive about it.
resets your dopamine? id be curious as to how it affects ADHD
@@iemjay
Carnivore or vegan... All of them agree about fasting is good 😁
Loved the video. Please turn on the auto-translate caption for all languages feature please. There are many billions of people who cannot read or understand English. Thank you. PS: If you do not know how, leave a message and I will show you a video that explains the very simple process. It is a 3 minor steps process that takes maybe at a maximum 1 minute. My wife has lupus, but does not english well enough to get this.
They have a team of volunteers who translate the captions into many languages, better than auto-translate. I'm sure if you contact them directly at their website they can expedite any video they haven't translated yet.
@@ojk14325b we are not looking for 100% accuracy here.
Dr. Fuhrman has a great book about this.
Thank you so much. So important
I love this channel!
How does the traditional fast fare against Dr. Longo's fasting-mimicking protocol? I've done both and prefer the fasting-mimicking. Still enters ketosis in the last days.
What was the “modified fasting” that did not show significant improvement for fibromyalgia?
Love the video😊😊 great sharing ❤❤❤
Fasting isn’t just the impetus to get how you to change how you eat. I have anecdotal evidence. I have put my aged mother on a whole food vegan diet. Her pain hasn’t went away or even improved, sadly. We are about to do a short fast and see how she tolerates it. Hopefully it will be, if not the panacea, the impetus to clearing up her pain.
I agree, my personal anecdote shows the same. The calorie deficit seems to be the key. This can be done gently with a small deficit of 500 calories per day, or drastically with an absolute or modified fast.
Best of luck
If she is overweight or malnourished. It may take some time.
Have you tried the carnivore diet? I know it can be the opposite of this video, but some people improve their pain with a short term meat based diet, adding vegetables little by little at the end of 1 or 2 months…. search for a M.D who can help your mom and monitor her during these weeks
But when you say "fasting" exactly what do you mean? Intermittent with a specific window each day? One day a week with no food? Which type of fasting works best or does it matter?
fasting of how many hours ? 16 / 8 ?
This video is 11.11 minutes long! 💖
Great Video!!
Carnivore for 6 months reduced my Axspa pain by at least 50%, LDN has increased my stamina and further reduction in inflammation by another 30% to 40%. Funny thing is I have never eaten poorly...
How do you fast just drink water for 3 days?? Then have plant based foods??
What do you mean by fasting? How long?
Fasting is not eating anything for a length of time. Fasting usually helps the body by not eating for at least 12 hours.
Autophagy
Did you watch/listen to the video? It mostly relates a number of case reports of autoimmune disease treated at least in part by fasting. The time course of the fast is described in most of the reports, it seems nearly all were extended water-only fasts. One exception was a fasting mimicking diet.
@@user-rw7xd7qy3jAs far as I know, fasting induced autophagy in humans only kicks in after 48 hours.
I thought the same … then noticed there are two videos! I’d stopped after the first thinking it had finished.
Fasting is only good for people with a fatty liver and too much visceral fat.
Otherwise giving the microbiome better types of food helps against other inflammatory diseases.
My husband has too much visceral fat so how much fasting should he do? Or just cut down? He's not losing or gaining weight the moment (5ft 11 & 80 kgs). He struggles with calorie deficit but really needs to reduce his visceral fat especially as he has a hernia.
@@skippy6462You should try resistance training. Something that is not too straining on him. Also do some nice things together and promote good sleep. Stressing less and getting good sleep is very important marker of health.
@@skippy6462 I can tell you exactly how to get rid of visceral fat but your husband needs to be checked for liver fat, too. Since this is not my channel better let the owner of the channel tell you how.
Basically, the follow up vegan/vegetarian diet, after cutting carbs is nothing but a low calorie regimen, that will maintain the body into ketosis. The Keto folks are onto something here…
Im on hour 37 of fast. I feel great. The medicine was killing me
What about osteoarthritis?
Listen from 6:09
@@MG63Thanks
wouldn't fasting make your thyroid go haywire if you have hashimotos?
I have Hashi's. Personal chemistry and hormones don't always fit the paradigm of vegan or carnivore testimonies. Neither can fully account for genetics or expenduture of personal energy and what it takes to replenish oneself
All the foods offer nutrition and allows diverse socializing and travel. I had a friend who with cystic fibrosis required a high amount daily of meat protein that exceeded dietary recommendations to extend her lifespan to 39. Another friend thrives as vegan post menopause. But fasting is well worth investigating. Humans are omnivores. I won't judge what people say they need. People researching Hashi's, including those who have it swear by a diet without dairy, grains and legumes, plus no food with lectins. I think more research is needed on specific reasons people have auto immune diseases in the first place. I'm sure our polluted world of pesticides and microplastics - even in breast milk isn't helping. I do think the plant world, to include the smart use of herbal medicine is hugely important to health. But, disallowing fresh caught wild salmon over ideology. No thanks.
I think we have to accept that we can only firestall death to a degree as many factors out of our control.
What’s happened to eggs lately? Several people have told me pan cooking causes upset stomach but hard boiling eggs DOESN’T. What does THAT mean?
Eggs are Garbage, stop eating them and see for yourself how wonderfully you feel mentally among other things !
My doctor told me that for RA I need to add fish oil and bone broth😢
Flax Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Hemp Seeds & Lentils!!!
You don't! Algae oil... And I healed mine with neither, it was all about the food
Algae oil has far more EPA/DHA than flax seed oil
Bone broth is a scam, veggie soup and algae oil for the win
Great Doctor you got hahahahahahha
Everybody can do a three day water fast without involving a doctor. This idea of limiting it to 24 hours without medical supervision is silly. We’ve all had a cold or a flu where we didn’t eat for three days.
That's dangerous advice. Many people are on medications that are required to be taken with food. Others may have conditions that going for more than a day without food can be life threatening. Yes, for many of us, fasting for 3 days or even longer is just fine, but by no means, does that mean everybody.
@@iemjay that’s crazy, prove it. You’ve never not eaten for 72 hours? That’s nuts as well.
@@benson5967 you’ve literally not eaten for 72 hours in your entire life? That’s nuts.
