Now that we are empty-nesters, my husband and I eat two large nutrient-dense meals a day between 10AM and 6PM most days. As Dr. Berg explains at 3:10 in the video, we’ve found that our bodies have adapted and we’ve started “holding/retaining nutrients for longer periods” so we don’t suffer or feel deprived.
This 7 minute video is a gem and explains why this type of eating is a very good thing.
There is another approach to fasting you ought to know about:
What if, periodic fasting could undo autoimmune disorders, including neurodegenerative disorders that have been COVID mRNA vaccine-induced?
Researchers suggest that the result is essentially the formation of a whole new immune system.
Dr. Berg explains the almost miraculous things that take place in 72 hours of fasting!
I am blown away by how the body works! Note that if you do this, you can make new BRAIN CELLS and repair MISFOLDED proteins causing neurodegeneration such as Alzheimer’s.
5 minutes.
Dr. Berg doesn’t mention it here, but many know these “misfolded proteins” as prions, and science says one source of prions are from the covid vaccine.
Note the highlighted text:
Researchers at the University of Southern California in LA say that periodic, prolonged fasting — not eating for between 2 and 3 days at a time — not only protects against immune-system damage, but it also promotes immune-system regeneration, particularly in patients who are already immuno-compromised.
Valter Longo, PhD and Professor at the USC Davis studied the effects of fasting in both mice and humans. The result of fasting was that their bodies “recycled” old immune cells, thereby triggering the production of new immune cells to replace them.
Over time, immune cells can become worn out and stop functioning at optimal levels. It was previously believed that there wasn’t much that could be done to overcome this except for stem cell treatments. But this latest research shows that periodic fasting cycles actually flip some kind of regenerative switch inside the body, altering the signaling pathways for hematopoietic stem cells, which generate both blood and immunity.
“We could not have predicted that prolonged fasting (2-3 days) would have such a remarkable effect in promoting stem cell-based regeneration,” stated Longo.
Periodic fasting helps correct autoimmune disorders and can lessen chemo damage
Implications of the study extends to conditions like autoimmune disorders. By triggering the production of new, undamaged immune cells, fasting helps people who suffer from what ‘the system’ has long claimed are incurable medical conditions.
Science shows 3-day fasting is known to reduce an enzyme known as PKA. This promotes stem cell-based regeneration and reverses immunosuppression in addition to extending longevity.
“If you start with a system heavily-damaged by chemotherapy or aging, intermittent-fasting cycles can generate, literally, a new immune system,” says Longo.
12 Strategies to Prepare for a 3-Day Fast
Dr. Jocker’s suggests, “While going on a 3-day fast is beneficial and healing for your body, it can also be stressful if you don’t prepare your body and mind well for your fast. To prepare for a 3-day fast, I generally recommend going on a ketogenic diet and practicing intermittent fasting for at least 2 to 3 weeks before your 3-day fast.
“This will help you to become keto-adapted and put your body into a fat-burning mode which will reduce your negative symptoms and ramp up your benefits. Trying one of two 20 to 24-hour fasts the couple weeks leading up to your 3-day fast may also be beneficial.”
Create a Low-Stress Schedule & Do Your Best to Avoid Negative People
During your 3-day fast, try to distance yourself from people who bring you down. Surround yourself with supporting individuals and practice the attitude of gratitude for the loving people in your life.
A 3-day fast is time for healing.
Find ways to reduce stressors in your life. Meditate, pray, journal, do breathwork, and relax.
Dr. Jockers has a helpful video on 7 Mistakes you can make on a fast, and it is worth listening to before attempting to fast:
Who Should NOT Fast?
• Children
• Those with eating disorders
• Pregnant Moms
• Those on Certain Drugs/Medications
• Those with Type 1 Diabetes
• Athletes in Training
• Those who are underweight

Is this safe to do if you are severely hypoglycemic? I have passed out before from my blood sugar getting too low and one time went into cardiac arrest from my blood sugar getting too low, after only missing food about a day and a half. If I am too late eating a meal, I get feeling too sick to eat, and then start sweating and feeling really sick. My mother noticed that that was almost always when I would get up but be too busy to eat breakfast, and then by lunchtime, I would feel too sick to eat. And she noticed that if I forced myself to eat, I would feel OK within 20-30 minutes. I have also had a few instances where I had eaten sweets and then gotten sick as a dog about an hour later, which I was told was because the blood sugar would get high and then the insulin would get all the sugar, and I would start pouring sweat, shaking, and feeling dizzy. Initially I had thought I was having panic attacks, but then realized it was always about an hour after eating sweets, like pancakes and syrup.

Gena, in the situation you find yourself in, no, I would not do it without the help of a functional doctor or a nutritionist. If you were monitored in a care setting maybe.
You might do better to do intermmittent fasting where you only eat 2 times a day (in 24 hours, like at 10A and 7PM) and nothing outside those times except good water and electrolytes.. It is modified, but not severe.
Do ask for counsel from someone you can sit and talk about the details, first.
Blessings,
Jacque

Hey Gena, I thought I’d leave a comment to tell you I used to feel that way a lot and felt terrible if I missed a meal or snack. I have since realized that my diet then did not have nearly enough healthy fat and protein, especially meat protein, and way too much sugar overall. Changing your diet could fix this! I’m pregnant right now so I have to eat more often but before pregnancy I was able to not eat after dinner and feel great for when I made breakfast the next morning.

Thank you for this inspiring and informative post. I can attest to the power of fasting as I had a severe tooth inflammation and was told I needed a root canal (which I did not want as it can lead to serious bacterial infections). I decided to do a dry fast for 3 days and the effect was amazing. All the areas where I had “weaknesses” where pulsating and I could feel the body working in my tooth and my liver. After the 3 days my “tooth” was healed. 3 years later I still have my tooth and was told there is no sign of inflammation. In the meantime, I did do a couple of 2 day dry fasts and will continue to do so if and when it is needed. Each was considerably easier – most probably because the first fast did heal so many areas in my body. Considering that ancient cultures did do 1-2 times a year fasting – no wonder they were so much healthier. Fasting and Sauna (another health ritual that nearly all cultures around the world had at one point) are two ways to promote superior health conditions. And fasting has a spiritual component which I feel is promoting even deeper healing – which this world is of dire need.

Have you researched the effects of keto and low carb diets on hormones/thyroid, etc? The whole pro-metabolic way of eating promoted by Fallon Danae, Kori Meloy- originated from Dr. Ray Peat and others. Morley Robbins is another one. I also can’t see how going into ketosis – willingly allowing your body to attack itself- is good. Truly interested to hear your response. There’s so much info out there and so many trends that turn out to be harmful in the long run.
Jacqueline
Hi, Marilyn,
Yes, full on keto is not a good thing, especially for the longterm. https://www.verywellhealth.com/keto-diet-long-term-risks-5197991
The issue with ketogenic-only diets is that women stay in ketosis too long and become acidic, which actually creates inflammation which forces your body to hold on to its fat stores…more inflammation is bad for your thyroid, and you won’t lose weight (if that is your goal). You want to achieve an alkaline pH. This site is helpful: https://drannacabeca.com/blogs/keto-alkaline-diet/a-ketogenic-diet-optimized-for-thyroid-health
But Dr. Berg gives complete explanation of how to start right here and he accentuates veggies so it can never get overly problematic : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR6TnC1RY_8
I think I might add this to the post!
Sending peace,

I am so happy to see this post! I tried intermittent fasting a few years ago, and really liked doing it. One noticeable change for me was strengthened fingernails. They are still improved today, even though I usually just barely maintain a 16/8 routine. And also, in spite of some various chronic health issues I have.
I first learned about fasting through the book “The Obesity Code,” by Dr. Jason Fung. If anyone wants to learn the science behind intermittent fasting, or needs to see solid studies supporting such a plan, this is the book to read. Dr. Fung has other books on the subject as well.
Since becoming ill, I have kind of scrapped this approach, because of the many supplements I take. However, after reading this, I feel a strong nudge to try again. Fasting can really help the body heal, so this approach might be just the boost I need.
Thank you for all you do!
Jacqueline
Yay, Jeannette! I am so thankful! I know nothing is a silver bullet, but these lifestyle changes often give us more help than we realize at first!
I am still praying for you and trust that nudge was from the Lord!
Happt Easter and Resurrection Day! he is Risen!
Love,
Jacque
Sue Beer
I’m curious. Do you drink a lot of water in between your meals?
Jacqueline
Yes, I try to drink lots of water in between, Sue. I usually plop a 1/2 tsp of sodium ascorbate in the water to keep my vit C levels high!
Michelle
I’ve just been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Do you think fasting could be helpful? The treatments I’m being offered seem as scary as the disease! Thank you.
Jacqueline
Hi, MIchelle,
Yes, I would recommend 2 things.
Intermittent fasting is very helpful for lowering inflammation, but it needs to be repeated to keep it low. https://www.anshulguptamd.com/intermittent-fasting-can-be-your-gateway-to-improve-rheumatoid-arthritis
And I have seen good results with TRS (a gentle detox) which lowers inflammation for the whole body. Lowering toxins that drive inflammation removes the root cause, and no drugs needed. Actually, the drugs cause more toxicity which can drive even more inflammatory response.
If you want more information on how this works, email me at [email protected]
Sending peace,
Jacque

You can reverse this – and nutrition is the key (stay away from heavily processed foods) and look into detoxing as Jacque said. Integrate Kurkuma/tumeric capsules (with a spoon of Omega 3 oil – Turmeric’s assimilation needs a bit of healthy fat and Pepper), Spirulina or Chlorella for detoxing and turning the blood alkaline which is extremely important. A lot of major inflammation comes from a too acidic body. Look into Juicing, Norman Walker, Natalia Rose, Karen Calabrese, Ann Wigmore or simply integrate one healthy habit (e.g. religiously stick to a fresh juice or green smoothie or blueberry smoothie as breakfast). One habit can change everything. You can do it. Just take this as an opportunity to learn and align yourself with nature and harmony again – and God and nature will heal you! I saw so many beautiful changes just by taking spirulina (when there is heat an inflammation). God bless you on your path – this is your moment to learn and excel.
