Interwebs, I did my first waterfast when my situation seemed completely hopeless. I would say it saved my life, because waterfasting showed me that there is a way to get better. It rebalances and kickstarts your immune system. Now I know that fasting isn’t the only way to recover, but it’s a very fast way to make improvements (though it’s a tough way).
Really? I’m signing up for one in February, hoping for the best. Whats your routine and life like now?. Also I think they might be on to something in this current thread. You know about the stomach microbes being the cause of the issue and such, you should check it out if you can. It falls pretty closely in line with what the guy on mrfreet is saying about pfs.
Life is much better now, although I’m still having these ups and downs. The thing is that these ups and downs are normal in the recovery process, and after every down phase you feel better than before (at least that’s how it is for me now). I recently finished my master-thesis and am looking for a job, which was unthinkable for me a year ago. I also gained some weigth (69 kg a year ago, now 74 kg) and my digestion is much better.
For me personally it’s clear that this condition is linked to bad microbes / the immune system. But simply replacing them with healty bacteria doesn’t do the trick. Your immune system has to accept them, which takes a long time. I think fasting accalerates this process a lot.
Have you had had you’re stools checked? And worked with dietitians and nutritionists?
how can sombody replace his gut bacteria ?
im eating very healthy lately and i feel better but i want to try to change my bacteria. how can i do this treatment ?
cheers
Interwebs, I asked my physician to do a complete stool test, but he only wanted to check for candida and some harmful pathogens like salmonellae and so on. So I don’t know how many lactobacteria and bifidobacteria I had. But there were slightly too much candida. I then did an anti candida treatment, which helped a little bit but not much.
kornilios, I don’t know this for sure, but doing what I did the last 5 months definitely helped digestion and overall well-beeing. I’m taking 1-2 pills of probiotica a day (they recommend taking 4 a day but I think that’s only a waste of money). In addition to that I lay on a accupressure-mat twice a day (front and back). Also taking cold showers / holding your head under cold water, makes your body produce more antibodies, which helps.
My long water fast was a long time ago and I don’t remember how long it took me to get my weight back. If I have 4 days once I break the fast before going back to work, can I expect to look normal by then? I’m rather thin normally and I want to do a 14 days water fast.
I’ve started a 14 days water fast today, after talking to my endocrinologist. I might go up to 21 days. No food and 4 liters of water a day. I’ll have 100 mcg triptorelin injection once the fast is over to attempt to restart HPTA.
Good luck. Be strong.
What are your thoughts on broth fast?
I did a 5 day water fast and it was too dangerous due to my lpw aldosterone.
I am thinking of trying another fast. A bone broth fast. This should keep my electrolytes ok. Drinking a few cups a day.
Do you think a 21day bone broth fast will have substantial benefits? ??
started a bone broth fast today.
I am hoping to make 14 days because that’s how long it takes to starve pathogens and SIBO.
I cant water fast due to low aldosterone. My electrolytes get way too messed up.
Il do 21 days if i can. Depends how weak i get…
Why not get a fecal transplant instead? I would if it was available in Turkey. It’s quite safe afaik, when done in a good clinic.
Its safe and cheap to do at hone

i seen a story in the daily mail online the other day about a woman whos little boy had autism,the kid couldn’t even talk etc,she took him for a fecal transplant and all the kids symptoms reversed,talking again and everything,hes body was full of pathogens,apparently they are using it to treat loads of things,m.s, parkinsons, etc,have a look on the daily mail site,sounds very interesting,theres a clinic in Herefordshire does it,im seriously thinking of getting it done…
Im doing a fecal transplant next week
let us know how it goes douglasmitch,is it just the one treatment or is it a few treatments over a few days etc???,got my fingers crossed for ye…
thanks robbo. It is my last hope. If you are rich you should go to the taymont clinic. They have very high quality implants.
If you are not rich (like me) find a healthy donor, test them and do it yourself.
I am doing it at home. I am doing as many as possible, but i will start with 10. If i see results then i will keep doing them maybe once a week. If no results then i will find another donor.
Autism is similar to pfs in some ways. THe kids can be healthy one day then wake up fucked. … and stay like that for years… just like with pfs.
if fecal transplants can help them… then i have hope.
Update
I did 7 Fecal transplants 3 weeks ago. I have not had any improvements in my hormonal symptoms or my gastrointestinal problems. As i suspected hormones are a much more powerful modulator of gastrointestinal health then the actual microbiota. I will mention that my stools now smell like my donors so the transplant was successful. But it has not helped me in anyway. Keep in mind however that i only tested my donor for pathogens. He did not eat a perfect diet and i had no idea what his microbiome was like.
I still think it is worth a try, especially at a top clinic like the Taymont Clinic in the UK. They have the best donors possible eating up to 100 different foods per month to create great diversity in the donor material.
Just thought i would give an update for anyone that was interested.
