Sounds like bunch of woo wrapped in some scientific concepts.
Yes, I can understand how it might appear and sound. But, we are largely not realizing that the only thing that truly heals the body is the body, when it has the materials to work with and the time and space away from unnecessarily having to digest and process food unnecessarily like we have been marketed and conditioned to believe that we need.
One of the reasons that we especially lose our appetites when we are under the weather is because the body is doing its best to prevent any unnecessary tasks while it handles the very immediate and pressing challenges of suppressing whatever has gotten a bit out of control that the immune system is working to eradicate and heal.
The body is constantly working to heal and repair and regenerate but we are often bombarding the body with toxins in and on our bodies, let alone all of the detrimental ingredients that go into most popular and common foods.
Aside from straight-up fasting, whether dry or wet, another good practice that I have been implementing is omad. One meal a day. That gives a large fasting window every day and can definitely have acumulative and beneficial effects!
"Toxicity" of chemicals, is a thing, "Toxins" as an umbrella term, are not.
Fasting periods do increase the number of immune cells in the blood, but again, the number of claims about it outweight the number of evidence to support it.
I would say, maybe it would be beneficial to fast for one or two days every other week.
But to think that fasting every day is good is just too much.
Unless you eliminate nearly all carbs from your diet,
one large meal a day will give you a spike in weight gain and possibly diabetes over time.
Dry fasting seems to be the new trend in the alternative health community, I like it and find it very powerful, but don't think it's something that should be done without putting a lot of thought into it, and preferably maybe also having a decent diet beforehand, at least if it's a longer fast.
Yes, I agree, it is definitely a good idea to clean up the diet and do some various other forms of preliminary detoxing before diving into the fasting healing and detoxing modalities.
Fruit being the most healing of all foods.
Vegetables being healing but I feel that they are mostly healing in that they are just not as hard to process and Digest as many of the other foods such as Flesh and dairy and a lot of the grains.
