Fasting nonsense articles

 Wow.

It s unbelievable what passes for science these days. I just read an article saying that extended water fasting was bad for you.

Here's the crux of the article:

________

Participants lost an average of 7.7 percent of their body weight,

They experienced side effects like headaches, insomnia, and low blood pressure.

Fasting seemed to increase inflammation and put more stress on the body, and this can lead to lots of complications with health,  especially with those with existing heart or vascular conditions. 

_____

Well yeah. That's what happens to me every time I fast. It isn't easy. After 40 or so fasts, it has gotten easier. The one thing these short sighted, so called, scientists,  didn't mention, is the long term benefits. And that's where there is a lot of science. The benefits are awesome.

So let me say it in a different, dumb way. Don't exercise because it puts strain on your heart and could lead to complications such as muscle spasms, fatigue, while working out, damage to ligaments. So it's best, if you think about it, to just sit all day and slowly develop diabetes, weigh 400 lbs and be unable to move at all. But you won't develop possible headaches while working out.

I'm kidding of course. Working out may be stressful but in the long run, it's healthy.

I haven't had cysts under my eyes for 4 months now. Am I cured of wet macular degeneration? I don't know. What I do know is that i had 42 monthly shots in my left eye, administered by doctors, and I still grew cysts under my retina, and they we're getting progressively worse. When I began extended fasts, after reading about the benefits of a real medical clinical trial on wet macular degeneration, using 225 adults with 161in the control group,  my cysts slowly disappeared. It was obvious that the culprit is the lack of autophagy, which diminishes in old age. 

This is the link to that trial:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7694766/ 

Autophagy initiates lysosome function, which eats damaged protein and damaged cells, which lysosomes convert to food. Lysosomes are what eats virus and bacteria when you're sick. Fasting stimulates autophagy. 

Also my arthritis is gone. It slightly reoccurs every so often. Its minor though. Its mostly gone for weeks at a time and getting better.  I couldn't play my guitar for long, maybe a couple of songs. Now, I can play as long as I want with no pain. 

My blood pressure is lower and more.

The ease of movement, which I had when I was younger. is back is back. My biologic age reduced by 6 or 7 years. That test was done by Truage on my DNA telemers for 100.00. Next time, I'll do Viome but it's 400.00, a bit expensive as I'm not a rich man, I do have a good retirement, though, but I don't spend money frivolously. 

So that's it. Its difficult to make decisions when so much partial nonsense exists. Is this article accurate, yes. Is it misleading? Yes. In every way.

My fast

 So today I'm ending a 3 1/2 day water fast. I usually do 4 days but i can end this early. The whole idea, for me is to fix various conditions my body accumulated over 73 years of life. For me, mainly my eye problems and also arthritis and many others. To fix these, I have to stay below 1.5 on the GKI index for 24 hours. That's my goal on every fast , so on my third day, at 10 am, I dropped below 1.5. So today at 10, I can eat again. My website explains GKI. Mywaterfasts.com.  The idea on a fast is to starve the cells enough to wake up the lysosomes in my cells. They're little stomachs that magically appear to remove old broken cells and organelles inside cells. They're the ones that kill virus and bacteria when you're sick. So I cut 1/2 day off my fast by rapidly using up my stored glucose. I did that by taking the 10 1/2 mile bicycle ride on the Back Bay Loop in Newport Beach, on my first day of fasting.  The next day, I did another 5 miles on the Fullerton loop. ...

I fell off the wagon

 Yeah. It happens.  I'm 73. Biologically, I'm 67. My wife of 54 years has dementia and I gotta tell ya, it's disheartening. Sometimes,  just getting her out of her chair or out of her bed, is wracked full of fear, for her, and extremely frustrating for me. The pain she experiences from her knees and back causes her to writhe as she shuffles with each step. Yet if she doesnt move, she'll develop sores. Yet, when she is seated, even with her lack of logic and reasoning, she's still the most loving, sweetest person i have ever met. I'm not exaggerating.  She's 91 and her heart won't take the shock of fasting. I married a woman that's 18 years older than me. I was 19 and she was 37. I just wished that I'd known about autophagy 20 or 30 years ago, I could have stopped all this from happening. There is no doubt in my mind that the medical and food industries are to blame for her misery. Yet, I understand. It's not really their fault If a person com...

Cell and organelle replacement

 A lot of what i do is conjecture. I have to guess at much of what happens when I fast. I know that i need at least 4 days of fasting to remove cysts, fluid build up, below my retina, along with getting the anti-vegf shots every 6 weeks. That fixes my Wet Amd. According to the GKI index, removal comes below 1.5 on it and I get there at the end of my 3rd day. So I need a full day below 1.5, so 4 days. There are several things that I've learned along the way. High blood pressure forces weak cells to allow this fluid to get by the eyes weak integrity. Much about what takes place during a fast there's science on. Very little is known about the repercussions of removing zombie (senescent) cells that are removed because of the fast. Yes,they are toxic to the cells around them. Yes they slow the body down. They also provide functions that are necessary for the health of the organism. If I would have fasted throughout my lifetime,  I wouldn't be burdened with the problem with repla...
