Wow, thanks for all of the info! Very kind of you. I kind of went off fasting because of adrenal issues I thought might be exacerbating my heart arrhythmia issues. I learned from Dr. Ray Peat (who has a PhD in biology and physiology) that my liver needs carbs to stabilize hormones/thyroid etc which all connect to my adrenals. When blood sugar is low, adrenals spike in response, so I’ve been afraid fasting would have a detrimental affect on my adrenals. The human body is so complex and each is unique so it can be quite a puzzle. I always enjoy learning something new so I will continue reading your interesting posts.

Fabulous article! About fasting, I’ve tried it over the years with mixed results. So, I’m open to it, but not a rabid fan. Then, I saw a video on Youtube with the Bullet Coffee originator (sorry, forget his name) and he and another health guru were saying that pretty much all studies on fasting are done on college-aged males and that the results don’t translate to women. They said that women are actually harmed by fasting as their bodies are geared toward bearing children and therefore need to optimize nutrition. The two nutrition experts actually expressed contrition for promoting health fads such as Keto, vegetarianism and veganism. The fact that study subjects are mostly young males has come up before in past decades in relation to heart attacks. I remember reading women present very differently during heart attacks, but this was not acknowledged in the scientific literature because the research had been done on young males and so, many women died unnecessarily through lack of the full picture. I would be very interested in your take on this - male vs female fasting. Thanks again for your great article.

Thomas N. Seyfried has been doing remarkable work on looking at cancer as a metabolic disease ie ketogenic diet and glioblastoma. Guy Tenenbaum also has a remarkable cancer recovery story. His cancer protocol includes fasting. Intermittent fasting has also been recommended by some doctors for covid spike detox.

I believe one reason fasting is effective is because it's the only way many people can avoid Manufactured free Glutamates. It's in almost everything Processed, but hidden in a million ways. Most people don't have the time, or energy, to thoroughly investigate every item the consume, so fasting is a quick, easy to understand way to get the poisons out of their bodies so our natural systems can function.

Excellent read!! I did a search in sub stack for fenbendazole and that's how I found you. I'm really glad I did! By the way, I also do intermittent fasting and have found it to be the best weight loss method out there! Even when I eat cake or stuff I know I shouldn't, the weight does not come back.

What happens if you take FenBen then Ivermectin? I've got both stashed. Think I'm going to do a 'proactive' run with FenBen and some of the other supplements Joe T. sells. The CBD isolate and the Frankencense (sp) extract. Seems like a good insurance policy to have around... beats the colonoscopy, and the Mamo that tells me my breast is too dense to image correctly...

An incredible story that, Leslie. Very grateful for posting. I have already shared with a few in the family/friends who may be benefitted. I am a long retired industry organic chemist (PhD)with reading interest in recent years on medicinal chemistry, especially chemical structures of drugs. From India, I take part actively in the discussions of presentations of Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. McMillan and a couple of others. I had recently suggested that intrepid researchers from around the world should come together on a programme “Ivermectin for the World” where they will explore thoroughly the multi indication potential of Ivermectin including for cancers and bring it for use. My point is that half the world has no access to safe, cheap, effective, proven and widely available drugs against many diseases. On cancers, they simply cannot afford any treatments today that are expensive. Ivermectin may prove to be a golden drug for them. Fenbendazole too ticks all the boxes. Let the information spread like what is happening here and some day authorities like FDA will have to take suo moto notice. I have also been saying in many fora that hundreds of commonly known drugs from many different indications can be additionally anti viral by virtue of their shared chemical structure features. In this regard, classifications like CAD’s ( cationic amphiphilic drugs) already exist. An entire stock of a high street pharmacy could have been deployed when Covid struck in early 2020. Unfortunately, the world froze. Another point I have frequently highlighted in these comments is that both different diseases and different drugs from many indications are very likely to share biological pathways along their progression/metabolism. This opens the immense possibility that many common drug molecules can have multi indication potentials, no matter what their primary indication is. We have seen it in Covid treatments. You have told us about this great episode with Fenbendazole. We know big pharma has no interest in existing drugs. It is for other researchers to unlock this immense hidden potential. Half the world is desperate for cheap, affordable, effective, safe and widely available drugs to address their unending health concerns.
