Has anyone got results from fasting?

I see that fasting and really help clear out bacteria in your gut and help boost your immune system and detox your body has anyone tried to fast and had results and if so for how long?

With these infections, unless you are fasting with doctor's supervision for a specific reason, and for a short time it really isn't a good idea. Most of us have been ill for a while and have issues with leaky gut and other things, fasting would actually make us weaker. Our bodies rely on the food we eat for our energy to not only get through the day, but to keep our body organs functioning, and our immune system as strong as it can be at that time.

Remember, these are not "normal" bacteria, they are more complex than most others. Fasting won't clear the Lyme bacteria from the digestive tract.

I did a 5 day juice fast this past spring and it actually really pushed me through this plateau I had been on for about 4-5 months. I had been doing the Buhner herbs and herxing but not really feeling like I was making a ton of progress.

In my experience some things make me herx but then I don't really detox anything and it makes me question how productive the herx really is. Over time I've really found that if I'm herxing and also having to detox a lot (sauna, binders) that is when I'm actually making real progress.

Anyway I didn't expect a lot from the fast but it ended up triggering this massive 2 week detox period after months of barely needing to detox at all despite pounding back the herbs. I didn't take the herbs during the fast itself. My only hypothesis is that when you limit your protein and fat intake to almost nothing at all, your body will start to break down old infected zombie cells and maybe even biofilm formations.

I just did a juice fast where you juice green veggies and fruit so you end up taking in barely any fat or protein while you're on it. It was actually much easier than I expected, but I recommend anyone that tries it to stock up on all the produce ahead of time as you do get a bit out of it and driving is probably not advisable.

I've heard good things about fasting (maybe not as far as Lyme is concerned, but just in general). Bad things too though.

I've never really tried it, at least not with the intention of using it as a method of healing. There have been times where I've given up on eating though.

After a couple of days, I would start to get very fatigued, beyond just the normal lack of energy from not eating, and also very sore, achy. It was a very strange soreness though, it made me restless, yet, like I said, I was very fatigued at the same time. It's like something was dying off, telling me to eat, taking it out on my body.

Of course, the first inclination is to say, candida, but I never had intense cravings for food, which sort of makes me want to believe it was something else. Project's theory on it makes sense to me.

All that said, while I think there's something to it, I don't feel like it's the answer you're needing right now, man. Though, I mean, it's your health, so give it a try, if you think there's a chance it could help.

I really want to try a short 3 day fast my first attempt yesterday I failed at 21 hours and gave in, my main goal is for candida and not my Lyme problems because I can't have really any Lyme sys proms remaining just my thrush on tongue and sleep issues I really want to try and clean or my gut with a 72 hour fast with water only and fiber in my water

I have read like all of P post trav thanks and am on everything you can think of for candida right now trying to destroy it all and been using my sauna a lot and good idea today I went 20 hours and had a few good bowel movements trying to get rid of all the junk in me
