I'm not sure how to start this update post. Time flies. I haven't posted much in months, most of my time has been spent enjoying life and everything that comes with it. The consultations have eaten up the extra time that would have been dedicated to writing for the dry fasting club. This club was supposed to be a fun way of digging into research, exploring, and experimenting with dry fasting. But over the last year, it's been spent helping people in one-on-ones more than anything else. I keep wanting to come back and write more, and I'll be making plans to do so, but I'll need to find a way to escape the "patient-time-suck".
I do want to say one thing, even if it's the only post for the next few months.
I conquered long covid. I conquered a form of ME/CFS. I conquered it first for myself. As things were looking better and better in 2023-2024, I started worrying that this was a one-off case. (2021-2022, I had this feeling of improvement due to extensive dry fasting, but it was mostly a cortisol-driven fake-out). But then I helped conquer it for a handful of close cases I've been with for over a year now. (plus case-dependent recommendations of things like anti-fungals, anti-histamines, etc.) And I mean 95% of the worst cases. I'm not talking about some people who complain about mild brain fog and fatigue and believe they can call themselves long-haulers. I'm talking about the real deal. Those people have it so easy, they have no clue what true suffering is. What crippling fatigue really means. As your life slips away day by day, all that's left is the contemplation of suicide.
What I have to leave you with, in this short message, is some pretty important information. Dry fasting is very powerful. Almost too powerful. The people who overdo dry fasting will end up worse off in the long run. Play with fire, be burned by fire. The problem with people pushing dry fasting is that to keep clients and keep revenue maxxing, they need to be dry fasting hype-men. Mixing a low-carb lifestyle with extended fasting is very dangerous (and popular). There are situations where it makes sense to do a short burst of extreme ketosis, but in general, 99% of the cases I'm dealing with metabolic damage caused by years of fasting, skipping breakfasts, black coffee, stress, and low-carb diets.
Your body may have been pushed beyond certain limits, resulting in a myriad of different possible complications and problems. If you've ended up swinging badly in the wrong direction, you may be worse off or have irreversible organ damage (thyroidectomy, cholecystectomy, etc., etc.) When I first started in the dry fasting world, I truly believed anyone could dry fast. Just do it. But now my view is a lot different. Almost anyone can still dry fast, you just have to take your situation into consideration. Is dry fasting good for cancer? By itself, definitely not. But incorporating shorter ones into the deeper territory of a T3 therapeutic cycle? Hell Yes!
One of the most interesting things about the last few years is that I've become a doctor without a license. What I mean by that is that I've navigated the under belly of the pharmaceutical world and found loopholes, bitcoin agents, international shippers, and secret labs (I'm serious, there's a research center for chronic diseases that I can send in a recommendation and if they accept you, they'll make you sign an NDA) where I can get almost any form of medication with no prescription. The medical world tries to stifle us, imprison us in this world that requires a doctor to give you permission before you're allowed to try a medication. Often, it makes sense. There are very many people out there who are careless and oblivious and would harm themselves, but because the 'system' cares for these people. By caring for them, it enslaves those who have the capabilities or the willingness to take matters into their own hands. It's a crazy world out there. I hope things improve with AI in the medical sector.
Here's where you find deeper information about the metabolism regeneration the Scorch Protocol Miro Board:
Quick tier list:
Off the top of my head. Keep in mind that vitamins and minerals should come from whole food sources, but if your carbohydrate metabolism is bad, your cells will not effectively absorb or use the vitamins and minerals you get from food. You don't need all of these to heal, you mix and match dependent on your situation, and timeline.
S Tier: Dry fasting (short bursts), Cyproheptadine, T3, Thymus peptides/organ, sugar/fruits (put this here to trigger people), myo-inositol, Benfothiamine, Progesterone (women), Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT). Breastmilk or milk-adjacent, vitamin D and K.
A Tier: Aspirin, Natural factors (immunoglobulins/blood), fluconazole, water fasting (short bursts), Liver (king of high nutrient density), Oysters, Berberine, Ivermectin, Dhea/Pregnenelone (must be combined with T3 therapy to work), Magnesium Glycinate, Natural Dessicated Thyroid (NDT), Monolaurin.
B Tier: Kefir, Probiotics, Natural Gum (digestion, mastic or chicle), Ketotifen, Fenbendazole, Valerian Root, Passionflower. Magic mushrooms (particular situations only), Adrenal support, Breathwork, Meditation,
C Tier: Hormone replacement therapy, LDN, Apixaban, Melatonin, Cannabis (very specific situations only - short durations)
F Tier: Extended fasting more than 3-5 days (only good when you are decently healthy and are doing spiritual fasting), Itraconazole, herbal tonics. herbal cleanses, herbal antiparasitics, and more, LDA, Coffee/caffeine (for those that fix their metabolism first)
I'll leave this article on this note. Start with T3 (very many hyper responders). Start with Bioenergetics and ease your way into it. Start with small dry fasts. The stronger your metabolism, the more powerful the dry fast (even a 36-hour one). The strength of your metabolism is directly correlated to how strong and comfortable your carbohydrate metabolism is. If you have food allergies, or carb intolerance, you naturally have a slow metabolism, I don't care how good you feel. If you know you have candida issues. You want anti-fungals as a helping hand in reversing the tide. Remember, sometimes you're too deep, going in the wrong direction. You need to pull the right levers and get yourself going in the right direction. On top of everything I've said: Sleep, Hormones, Infections, Nutrition, and Exercise (SHINE). Good luck, and feel free to book those free 15-minute consults as they pop up week to week.
