      Impact on menstrual cycle - irregular periods and endometrial build-up due to lack of / delayed ovulation. I couldn’t find if this has been addressed in any previous videos?

      From a medical viewpoint, fasting makes sense for treating various metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia (excess fat in the blood), diabetes mellitus type 2 or metabolic syndrome. It is also indicated for obesity, in particular for patients who want to change their lifestyle permanently. Fasting has also been proven to have a beneficial effect on chronic inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or joint disorders like osteoarthritis. Irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, fibromyalgia syndrome and many other diseases can also be influenced by fasting.

    I have been intermittent fasting 19/5 for a year, and I am now having gall bladder symptoms. I was diagnosed with a 14mm gallstone. Correlation is not causation- maybe it would have happened anyway. It’s possible that I’ve had that stone for years. I’ve lost 29 pounds in a year, so it was slow. I’m having very good luck with TUDCA- 2 every morning on an empty stomach. I LOVE fasting, so I’m hoping to manage my symptoms! I have 26 more pounds to lose!

    Some things I've learned over the years...meats, carbs, sugar and dairy products are usually the cause of liver producing stones, which can over-whelm the gallbladder as time goes on with poor dieting. Pain in the gallbladder area and aching in the back right shoulder area is normally a sign of stone build-up (also poor digestions, etc). Fasting is good prior to doing a liver and gallbladder flush and or even subsiding gallbladder pain. I'm doing another Andreas Moritz liver gallbladder flush tonight after fasting with just juice, apples, chanca piedra tea (chanca piedra tea helps to dissolve stones) and salads for last 10 days. Thank you for your info.

      Stones can form in various areas of the body from a lack of vitamin K.
      K1 and K2 are crucial to preventing calcification all over your body including your brain and your vascular system. Which would also cause build up in your joints causing arthritic results.

    This is a crucial topic because a modicum of folks like myself chronically worry about this. Rumors are that keto might reduce sludge and stone formation and might ( ? ) even dissolve existing stones. Keto occurs during fasting.

    Here come a few thoughts
    --Thank you for looking into the topic.
    -- Prolonged fasting once a year most likely would not cause gallstones, so the answer given in the video is pretty mute for humans who were designed to fast anyway.
    -- But can we rephrase the research questions? If fasting is repeated many times like once a month/quarter for 4-6 days would that cause gallbladder issues?
    -- How would Buchinger method apply to patients who might have significant or light issues with gallbladder?anything learned over the years here? Do you have an ultrasound machine to look at your patients before and after, if they have gallstones before, after etc.
    --One of the videos mentioned the hot water bottle over the liver area, can you have more detailed walk through on this technique from the physician point of view?

      Fasting does not cause the formation of stones. Eating a low fat diet or bad fat diet causes gallstones. And improper supplementation OR dehydration can cause kidney stones. You need vitamins K1 and K2 to prevent stones. AND healthy fats in your diet.
      Like Virgin olive oil, wheat germ oil, avocado oil, walnut oil, coconut oil, etc...

      @@athenaenergyshine7616 no it wont heal your gallstones, infact it will increase your risk of having stones, why? Because when youre not eating your gallbladder is not working therefore the liquid bile inside your gallbladder starts to thicken and eventually form into stones. Fasting only helps you lose weight by using your fat as energy instead of food you ate. only way to remove gallstones is via operation, there are also some people saying that flushing works but thats up to you if you want to believe it. I also have gallstones i fast for 13hrs to reduce weight and to help my liver because i think i also have fatty liver, i also drink apple cider vinegar to lower my blood sugar, never had gallbladder attacks since then but gallstones are still there.

I’m not sure if it would be helpful but I recently learned of an enzyme that breaks down proteins that was originally produced in silkworms that the silkworms used to break down their cocoons. I’m taking it for something else but I think when I was first researching it that it was mentioned it also help with mucus/ congestion/ sinus stuff. I’m not sure if it could help you but I thought it might be worth mentioning. It’s called Serrapeptase. Good luck to you. Hope your issues are healing.

      Buchinger Wilhelmi therapeutic fasting is a procedure whereby a person voluntarily goes without food for a certain length of time, living mainly on their fat reserves instead. This stimulates autophagy and detox enzymes, resulting in a deep cleansing of the cells and tissue.
      At the same time, fasting reduces all inflammatory processes, alleviates pain and improves mobility.
      The success of fasting depends to a large extent on the four-day period at the end of the fast, during which patients at our clinic gradually start to eat normal meals again. During this process, dormant stem cells are activated, and new structures built up. It is a period of regeneration (also called rejuvenation) with tremendous therapeutic potential.
      For Buchinger Wilhelmi therapeutic fasting to take full effect, a stay at our clinic should last at least 10 days.
