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