Has anyone tried fasting ? There is some really great science now circulating on the benefits of fasting on health generally but specifically turning on the anabolic metabolism, which stimulates and promotes stem cell proliferation and turn down the leukocyte levels in the blood stream [white blood cells - main progenitor of the immune system], reducing inflammation
I have been collecting data from a number of small and somewhat obscure but independent studies on this for a few weeks and decided to try it out.
Routine which starts tomorrow my time [9 days since last PRP injections] will be as follows:
Three day fast - water only. Day 4 & 5 raw vegetables juiced. Day 6 & 7 lightly steamed vegetables. Day 8 onwards introduction of fish and eggs and un processed grains [oats etc]
Through the process I'm going to have blood draws done to see what is happening to my endocrinology [Day 3 and Day 8]. Key marker - CD34+levels
Im 6 foot and 175 pounds so I don't really have a lot of weight to lose and that is definitely not the aim, so hopefully I don't come out of it looking like a hunger strike protester
