I remember, even before the events of 2020, that fasting has been suggested as a way of resetting the immune system, regenerating immune cells, including stem cells, reducing autoimmunity, activating cancer-killing cells, etc. It is not widely known, but people can fast for quite a long time (weeks and months) on salt and water without any side effects.
On a side note. Thread about the connection between salt intake, electrolyte imbalance, dehydration, humidity, mucosal layers, and respiratory diseases / influenza-like illness (ILI) in winter seasons.
Well done, Walter. Autophagy is a key component of IF/TRE and is also effective in helping cancer patients. Combined with other anti-SP modalities and you have a very effective combination.
Caveat- those of us who have sustained recent blunt force injury, esp to the head, should tread carefully, or refrain from IF, as this ol'mechanic has discovered...the body is still in a state of electrolyte& other massive physiological healing/rebalancing...& the added sress of IF may cause the entire house of cards to collapse...
I think it is odd that know many people who need / got knee replacements that sit around too much. Not spike related. Just wondering if exercise could also purge senescent cells.
"I am still concerned about reinfections/exposures and long-term metabolic/senescent issues regarding COVID and the Spike Protein. However, for now, I believe fasting to be an important, integral part of COVID/Spike Injury care, and good health in general."
Hi Walter. I’ve followed you for a while, since before you were pushed out of Twitter.
I was vax shedding injured in Jan 2020. Was only one of three in my small psych hospital to NOT get the vax, but within a day or two of everyone getting jabbed, I started my menses and bled profusely for almost 3 weeks. The it shut of like a light switch, and according to my naturopath, am in an artificially-induced menopause.
I also started having joint issues, so began a few protocols that have taken a while to see some benefits, and while I’ve not been able to remediate my menses back, I’m feeling *much* better since starting fasting a few months back.
I truly believe in the body’s ability to heal, so keep on with my 18 hrs fasting, 6 hr window to eat lightly. Haven’t felt this good in years.
Its certainly one of the main things I found that helped in first infection but didn't really find out about it till 8 months after infection. But the benefits were noticed within 2 weeks. Then xmas happnened , all went out the window and crashed badly for another 6 months till I could get back into the strict mindset again. Im having problems since 3rd infection Dec 22 nw 4 months and am mindful that I need to get strict again but it is getting that will power when you have been ill AGAIN for 4 months. Reading this will prompt me that I have to get strict again and get in that zone. Thanks Walter for never stopping looking for answers to this horrible thing that has been thrust upon us.
Originally, I posted this elsewhere, but given the topic, I am hopeful for discussion concerning this. That is, I am very cautious about recommending and/or using N-acetyl cysteine, as there are documented effects NAC has on prolonging, and thus promoting, cancers. Here is an overview article:
💬Here's the good part: the animals who got NAC supplementation really did show significantly fewer of those signs of oxidative damage in their lung tissue. It also reduced signs of cell senescence and overt histological damage of aging as well, such as emphysema lesions (all of these were markedly worse in the JunD knockouts, but NAC improved them as well). So far, so good, and this is exactly the case you'd make if you were pitching NAC as something people should take for healthy lungs as they age. But hold on.
"None of the aged normal mice showed signs of adenocarcinoma developing in their lung tissue. But 10% of the aged normals getting NAC supplementation showed it. None of the aged JudD knockouts showed any, either, but **50%** of the aged JunD knockouts getting the NAC supplementation had it. The best guess is that cell senescence pathway that seemed to be inhibited with the NAC: some of these are in fact cells that should have died and didn't, and went on to become cancerous:
—"Our results therefore support a direct role for NAC in tumor initiation. This role seems independent from antioxidant gene expression, since opposite variations in antioxidant enzyme expression were seen in healthy mice and JunD–/– mice during aging. The protective effect of NAC against lung emphysema is an expected consequence of the decrease in lung senescent-cell accumulation. Altering the cell senescence process, however, may produce undesirable consequences, since senes- cent cells are well known to constitute a barrier to cell transformation and tumorigenesis.—
"Now that's something to think about, isn't it? It comes with the usual caveats about mouse models, but it ties in with the other reports that cancer is a complex enough situation that trying to prevent it (or treat it) with antioxidants is ill-advised at the very least. All of our cellular processes involve tradeoffs, and we've had a billion years or two for them to come into balance. Now, we may not agree with some of the equilibria we've reached, but we need to have a better understanding of all these checks and balances before we go in messing around with them. For example, I find longevity research very interesting indeed, and many of us would prefer to live longer than evolution cares about us living, but lifespan is a tradeoff between several other factors, too (one of which is the eventual development of cancer).💬
This is the cited article from the Science.org brief:
"The antioxidant N-acetylcysteine protects from lung emphysema but induces lung adenocarcinoma in mice"
⏩A key takeaway: Given Walter's Substack postings on how SARS-CoV-2 Spike relates to aging and senescence, then we can start to see a connection here. Namely, recommending NAC is ⚠counterproductive⚠ when the goal is detoxifying from the effects of Spike-induced damage to the body. NAC mitigates cellular senescence, and thus allows damaged cells to continue functioning —so if the cell has become cancerous and would ordinarily signal to the rest of the body that it needs destruction, it won't undertake this process but instead continue growing and metastasizing. Keeping around these senescent cells will harm one's overall inflammatory response, as the body will have to respond to new infections and cellular aging along with these cells that NAC has grandfathered in.
......per Bryan Ardis, there's STRONG evidence that a solution of 60% UREA crystals will COMPLETELY dissolve jab-associated blood clots, Walter - DEFINITELY worth further investigating.....

Fasting and an addition of L. Reuteri yogurt - homemade - is a great strategy.
There are many benefits to intermittent fasting! Least of which is the move away from preoccupation with eating.
See Drs. Jason Fung, Dr. Eric Berg, etc.

OK. I'm convinced. Let's get 'er goin'.

Just thought I’d pipe up with my fasting story.

There's no spike.....so WHAT are you talking about?.. smoke and mirrors... .....
