Fasting to re-balance your body

Hi everyone, I'm new here but am so glad I found others who suffer from EHS.

In short, I think I've discovered a method to help alleviate EHS symptoms in any person.
After months of trial-error, I believe fasting to be a "quick" way to recover from EHS.
Apart from eating healthy and taking supplements like B12, fasting has given me the most dramatic improvement in months, maybe even two years.

I researched online and some say fasting gives your body a nice "restart" and helps boost your immune system. Whatever is at play here, the result was undeniable. I feel better than I have in so long, and all I've been doing is fasting for the past 3 days and still going.
I'll break it down:

First day I had some water and a piece of toast. Day 2 I had some milk and water and tea. Day 3 I've had cereal (without milk) and water. Each day felt better and better.

But I do express caution, because some have warned me of lack of nutrition and how it could affect me in other ways even though it helps my EHS. I have not currently experienced anything negative so far, just improvement, and my theory is that our bodies keep a healthy storage of many things, so that if it is ever without food or water for a great length of time, it will start using the excess and be totally OK. But that's just my theory (loosely based off what bears do when they hibernate)

I plan to continue fasting until my body tells me to stop. I'm confidant that listening to one's body will help them stay healthy, and seeing as EHS people are sensitive, listening to our bodies should be second nature.

So to estimate, I've consumed no more than 1000 calories in the past 3 days and counting. I feel lighter, breathe easier, walk better, am less confused or disoriented, have almost no jolts or sensations, speak more clearly and even have my singing voice back (its been gone for so long I thought it was done for).

I CANNOT guarantee this will work for everyone, but I am confident it will give more benefit than not.

Thoughts or questions?

thanks for posting.
i think this might be very individual. i feel worse if i dont eat. might be because i,ve still got parasites. and if a person have had parasites for a while there might be a lack of nutrients in the body. so maybe not a good idea??  or might be the best idea ever.. starve them.
or other intestinal troubles.
i believe in fasting though. never tried myself.. i will try. when it is time. that means when i feel my body is ready.
i think i will wait til the sun gets a little higher here i  the north. gaze some sun for energy.
my cousin just fasted for 30 days. he went crazy and they sent him to a mental insitution. he is  doing better now. but be careful yargwolf.
cheers :)

Yes, I once tried fasting as a solution, and only made it about 3 days before I had to stop. I felt much, much worse, and in retrospect considered it the worst thing I could have done.  My body was obviously too weak and dysfunctional at the time to be able to handle the detox, so it was doing more damage than good.

Maybe "mini-fasts", lasting 24 hours or less, could be handled (and beneficial) to some...?

do  you know if you had parasites in that period marc?  how long before you recovered?
i am under the impression that people who are super sensitive do have an intestinal problem such as parasite. the immune system drops a lot if they dont get fed.... and ofcourse after a while with intestinal troubles the body starts getting problems. lack of stuff. this intestinal problem dont have to be parasites. could be intolerance to gluten, wheat, milk or for example candida(result of too much Anti-biotika ) but in this case i talking about parasites.
i saw in a youtube vid once that a guy on juice fasting passed a nest of worms. they dont like fruit and veggies.
wonder the effects of fasting on the intestine..

I'm sure I probably did... certainly there have been indications of that, and also I've benefited
from taking supplements that are for that...

But I think *everyone* has parasites to some degree... some just have it much worse than
others.

Yes, I have had dramatic results with fasting in relation to tinnitus, so your post doesn't surprise me.   Several years ago I went on a 30 day juice fast of 400 calories per day and all but cured myself of disabling tinnitus.  When I started the fast I had the sound of a jack hammer in both ears and was stone deaf.  At the end of the 30 days I had a small buzzing sound in one ear only and could hear perfectly well.  It was nothing short of miraculous.

Anyone who says they fasted 3 days and got sicker knows nothing about fasting.  The first three days of my 30 day fast seemed to make my tinnitus even worse, if that is possible.  I was too sick to stand up.  I lay in bed wishing I were dead.  The turnaround came about suddenly on the 5th day and from then on the noise in my head just kept going down, down, down.  

Now, about ES.  I might consider another fast.  I became sensitized two years ago and lost my job (online editing) as a result.  Even typing this post is causing my fingers to tingle and my face to burn.  Having ES has been HELL. I've lost thousands upon thousands of dollars and am at risk of losing my house.  I find that mercury removal from my teeth has helped somewhat, but I have a lot of mercury left to remove, which is expensive.  Chlorella has also helped, but only temporarily.  Aside from those two things, I don't know of anything that helps ES, which is why your post on fasting interests me.

There are actually all sorts of things that can help ES, you might want to check out
this website for some ideas:

Also, I've recently seen more than one person report that using a tincture of
"Lion's Mane" mushroom helps, as this is supposed to heal damaged nerves.

Thanks for this info.  I did visit that website previously, but did not find it particularly helpful.  Because of tinnitus, I already have a healthy diet and exercise regularly.  Avoiding exposure - yes, that helps the most, but for me that means not working, since "exposure" includes a wired computer.  So avoiding exposure is another way of saying "remaining jobless."  Epsom salt baths help, but along with all the other "remedies," the relief is minimal and short-lived.  I have found nothing that will allow me to work on a computer again without experiencing pain.  Shielding devices have been largely a waste of money.  Gloves do not help - the electricity gets trapped.  Hoodies made of conductive material do not help, nor does a grounding pad.  Grounding the computer to an electrical outlet helps minimally, and sometimes not at all.  Right now, I'm considering prolonged fasting, since it's one thing that has worked for me in the past.  That someone else found fasting helpful is quite encouraging.  I wonder how long the results lasted.  Obviously, one cannot fast indefinitely.

Yes, finding a way to return to my job became the #1 goal for me, after being out
of work for a year.  And then after I did enough things to be able to work half-time, the next
goal became to find a way to be able to work full-time.  That took another several
years.  But I've been working full-time, on the computer, for over a decade now.
So it is possible. But it took a ridiculous amount of trial & error, beyond what
most people could afford, or are willing to try before giving up.

Of course, if I could go back in time and tell myself what I know now, it would have
been a much faster recovery process.  :-)
