Anyone fasted for 3 days?

Hi,

Has anyone fasted for 3 days and if so what were the results on their parkinsons?

[12Maxwell3]

How would this help?

[alexask in reply to 12Maxwell3]

Well fasting for 3 days can reset the immune system, so given this you might expect it to also have beneficial impacts on your brain. I have just done it and my sense of smell is even keener than before ( I can smell my own body odour, which is a relief to all around me I can tell you).

What did you fast

[alexask in reply to 12Maxwell3]

Because I have a lump in my throat which bears all the hallmarks of throat cancer.

[12Maxwell3 in reply to alexask]

I am so sorry!

[Hikoi in reply to alexask]

Alex when is your appointment to have this lump checked?

As to fasting 3 days, not tried since I got pd.

[alexask in reply to Hikoi]

Appointment within the next two weeks.

Did you eat at all

"Disruption of autophagy—a key homeostatic process in which cytosolic components are degraded and recycled through lysosomes—can cause neurodegeneration in tissue culture and in vivo."

"Our data lead us to speculate that sporadic fasting might represent a simple, safe and inexpensive means to promote this potentially therapeutic neuronal response."

How did you fast?

[jeeves19 in reply to Skydome]

Don’t eat anything!

[alexask in reply to jeeves19]

Yes pretty much. I did take some salt and various supplements

[jeeves19]

Mine was a statement Alex and not a question!

Hi Alex, are you still fasting? I fast as well.
