Water fasting to reverse or prevent type 2 diabetes etc

Hi all,
I’ll just jump right in and ask some questions :grin:

Okay, so I read online that water fasting can reverse and/or prevent type 2 diabetes ?
And that water fasting can reset the immune system ?
And that water fasting can cure any type of fungal (toe nails sorry) infection ?

Is this all true ? For how long should one fast to achieve this?
And is maintenance fasting needed ?

Thanks :slight_smile:

Those are some big questions and the answers are nuanced and totally dependent on how your body copes with fasting. Dr Jason Fung has tons of evidence on fasting and type 2 diabetes. Have you read any of his books?

The type of healing I think you are talking about happens during autophagy. Good luck! Experiment and see what works for you!

Thanks for the reply& no I haven’t read any of his books. I’ll read up about autophagy at least.
Will start my fast after the holidays, in January :slight_smile:

I’d advice you to read books of Dr. Jason Fung MD, he specializes on diet/fasting and type 2 diabetes. He has very good results with fasting with his patients but always advises that any fasting for people with diabetes should be done under medical supervision. Here is his page if interested www dietdoctor dot com /authors/dr-jason-fung-m-d I hope this helps :slight_smile:
