Well if you are going to fast for 4 weeks why not do it in front of Merck HQ… that would help all of us.
May I ask what your negativity is about? The fact that I am fasting does absolutely nothing to hurt you, and if it turns out to be effective then it can only help you and others here in terms of expanding our knowledge about how to treat PFS. I’m sorry but I am desperate to regain my health, and will try anything to do so, I have not experienced any improvement in my condition over the past four years, and you have the gall to mock me for trying something, anything to improve my condition. What gives? What’s more, I have read of at least two or three people who have experienced recovery from fasting; why shouldn’t I listen to them? Fasting is free, and I have nothing else to lose. Is that so hard for you to understand? I’m asking you seriously, whats with your attitude? Its not like I’m making YOU fast, this is ALL me. If you don’t want to fast then thats fine, nobodys making you, but perhaps you should try being more respectful of other peoples decisions as well. Got it?
I’d like to try a fast but I’m already very underweight (have been my whole life) so I would probably do more harm than good. 
Cap, there is a possibility you could maybe achieve gains in less time. Maybe a 2 week fast is practicable in your case. You could consult with an expert of fasting for knowing how far you can go. I wouldn’t consider a 1 week fast because three days are required to shut down the digestion. I would go at minimum a 10 day fast.
I could probably do that. I usually only eat once a day as it is. I’ve always had a pretty hyperactive metabolism, which makes me even more confused why I ended up with PFS, since many seem to think the cause is your adrenals or metabolism going out of whack.
No… I want you to fast… but I also want you to do it in front of Merck HQ so as to draw attention to our issue.
that would probably be construed as terrorism or something, though it’s hardly anything of the sort. merck knows full well about pfs, and i’m sure they knew before we did, possibly before fin went on the market. they aren’t stupid. self-immolation would probably work better, but the news wouldn’t run it for more than a few seconds (if at all). merck and the media answer to the same master.
the people who invented this drug are highly ingenious, and i’m positive their intentions are far more sinister than maximizing quarterly profits.
its obvious you are arguing in bad faith. Why don’t you go fast in front of Merck HQ instead?
WHOOSH
It’s not terrorism. And they can’t do anything to you if you did.
oh, they would do something about it, i’m sure. that’s bad publicity. who’s got more power, you or, oh, some giant ultra-rich multinational corporation that sleeps with the gummint. whistleblowers get nixed dude. remember gardisil (also spelled gardasil)? that shit fucked up some teenage girls man. do you hear about that shit? fuck no. this is a forum focused on the amelioration of our common ailment. simultaneously raising public awareness while fruiting sweet retribution would be real dandy, but that’s frankly a topic suited for another thread! politely: please leave anything irrelevant to natural health interventions for another subforum.
also, please try not to hurt anyone’s feelings. we all have pfs here.
If SeeYouInHellMerck is not dead 
he should be near to the end of the fast! how curious curious I am.
im writing up my experience with it right now, i’m going to make a separate post
