Reverse Autoimmune Condition with Fasting | Dr. Mindy Pelz

[@janetthomasson6086]

Hi Dr Mindy I've nursed 46 years and was always taught to use steroids for my psoriasis. ...until I took matters into my own hands after my father died, as I was covered head to toe in psoriasis, so I started omad ..then increased to 20 hr fasts , just on water and black coffee. I took photos before and after. . It took 3 months in total , I had cheat days but the results were miraculous,! My psoriasis was completely HEALED ! 😊 Now I tell my patients stay off steroids and let food be thy medicine. ..and medicine be thy food ☺💕

[@DrMindyPelz]

That's amazing! Congratulations! You're doing amazing for taking control of your health and healing. Keep going and know that you're living in a miraculous BODY. 💗

@@DrMindyPelz so is it possible to completely cure / reverse Psoriasis and Psoriatic arthritis through fasting ? If so how many hours of fasting and how many times required Dr ?

[@DrMindyPelz]

Difficult to say. everyomne is different. What you eat also matters and your daily movement. Any medications you take have effects as well. Discuss options with your doctor.

[@amazetutors]

@@DrMindyPelz I am taking apremilast 20mg everyday and methotrexate 10mg weekly once. And I go for walk one hour everyday dr. About my food , I think majority carbs. Please suggest me the steps to reverse my psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis completely. Thanks in advance

I’m a relatively healthy 55 year old woman and I’m fit, not overweight. The first time I did 72 hr water fasting was a month ago. I did it specifically to fix a few body injures I had: both shoulders, both elbows and a little of pain in my knees. My body decided to heal all my right side, shoulder, elbow and knee. So this past week I did another 72 sardines fasting to heal the other side. Oh my God! It didn’t disappoint me! I feel like brand new today! I only feel like 5% of discomfort in one of elbows but 95% of all other issues are gone! I have to do this again to treat other possible conditions that I may have and don’t know of. Thank you Dr. Mindy. And just to let you know I bought you book in both formats, virtual and hard copy. Again thank you for the work you do.

[@tamekarobinson7726]

I healed my shoulder through fasting! I was told years ago it would only get worse and I would need surgery. I didn’t start out fasting with the intention of healing my shoulder. I just woke up one day and no longer had pain

An important trigger for autoimmune issues is ... pregnancy. While this is a known fact, it seems like nobody talks about it so I thought I'd bring it up. It happened to me and a friend of mine, and my guess is that there are many more of us out there. As far as the "cure" is concerned, I have tried it all. I have been on a carnivore diet, not for weeks or months but for years. I fast 16-23 hours each day and have done so for years. I have also done a number of prolonged water fasts (15+ days) in the past. I'm 66 years old. My lifestyle is as healthy as it gets, I'm not overweight, I exercise and - apart from my autoimmune situation - I feel great. I make sure I get enough sleep, I don't have marital issues or financial problems and there are also no other mental stressors that I am aware of. I'm all for the carnivore diet and fasting, and if Dr. Mindy's advice works for your, then that is great but keep in mind that it may not be *the* cure for everyone.

[@liquidsnake123]

I guess everyone is different. My multiple 5 day water fast seem to be working. My initial 10 day water fast made me Ill so 5 days seem to be my spot. Maybe you could try multiple 5 day water fast? I wasn't being strict with what I ate to break the fast either.

[@svdoinitright7519]

Thank you for your videos. I started fasting in November. I am a 62 year old type 2 who has gone from 300-400 units of insulin per day, to none, I haven't injected since Jan. I just transitioned from obese to overweight and am making good progress. I am starting to see issues go away, but the neuropathy in my toes seems to be more painful (but that may go with the cold hands and feet from fasting). My approach is long term fasting, breaking it every week or two with a small Sunday dinner of meat and broccoli. I plan to keep doing that until I hit my next milestone (200 pound milestone, currently down from 251 to 217). Once I reach that, I'll experiment with intermittent schedules that keep me losing and allow me to continue the path toward fat adaptation. You can't believe how much you are influencing my repairs.

Hi, I just found your channel today. How did you know when you didn't need any insulin any more? I am t2d with hashimoto. I am constantly cold. I was taking tirosint but stopped 2 weeks ago. So Dr. Pell, how will I know I can stop it for good? I am 68yo female with past pain issues. I have lost from 276 to 225 lbs since 11/2021. I eat mainly carnivore with about 30 carbs per day. and half & half in my 2 coffees daily. I eat usually 3pm to 8-9pm daily with coffee after noon. I cannot sleep except like 4-5am til noon or 2 pm. I would love to get these issues fixed. Thanks!!

Thank you Dr Mindy for this video. I have Hashimoto's and have been trying to find the best fasting protocol to apply for many years now.. I love your new book, and learned a lot, even tho I've been on a fasting journey for quite awhile now. I just got back to carnivore this week, so this presentation is very timely. I have always struggled with 24 hour fasting, but am really going to try applying it more often. I appreciate the specifics in what you shared in this video and feel inspired with these suggestions for my regular fasting routine. I am always interested in hearing more about thyroid and healing for autoimmune, it's good to find encouragement for holistic healing.

Hi Dr. Mindy Pelz. I just want to say that one day I was reading what this lady had commented on a web page in the comments section and it got my attention. She said that a few years ago that she had gotten really sick and she was not able to eat for nine days. She said she had Hashimoto's. She also just happened to have an appointment already set up for her lab work. When she went to her doctor's appointment, she found out that her TPO antibodies went way down. They discussed what happened and figured out that it was from her not eating for nine days. Basically fasting. The doctor was shocked. He told her to do that again in six months and do another fast for five days. She did. Her Hashimoto's was in remission. It was so much so that she said it had been three years and it still didn't come back. It sounds like she didn't change her diet but had fasted with water only.

[@DrMindyPelz]

That's an interesting anecdote about the individual's experience with fasting and Hashimoto's, but it's important to remember that individual experiences may vary, and it's always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice regarding specific health conditions.

[@Doribrn]

Dr. Mindy, Thank you for this information. I was diagnosed with RA at the age of 50. I am now 68 and have been taking Humira and methotrexate all of these years. I am pain free but worry about what these medications are doing to my body. I am going to try the protocol. Even though I am asymptomatic, the disease is still within me. I can expect to have a shortened life expectancy since RA attacks organs as well as joints. Anything I can do to improve my outcome is a priority.

I've got my psoriasis when I was working in shifts. And my neighbours did not let me sleep because the lived during the times that I needed to sleep. So the sleep deprevation did lead to a poor live style. Ordering food instead of making and smoking. Now I am sick at home with also fibromyalgia doing baby steps to work again. But my company doctors say that should do shifts again. I know this is going to make me more sick again. So I am trying to find other work. And trying everything to heal me.

Hi Dr. MIndy. I follow a Keto lifestyle since October of 2020. Lost 70 pounds over the next year and a half. I took breaks and tried to just hold my weight when I got to certain milestones. Now a healthy BMI of 22 at 65 years old Thinner than my freshman year of high school. However, in June of 2021 I started having uncontrollable diarrhea for days. Saw a gastroenterologist and after many tests and colonoscopy with biopsy, was diagnosed with IBD, specifically collagenous colitis. I was put on a medication called cholestyramine, which works by binding up bile acid. About 9 months ago I saw one of your videos about a gut reset fast (24 hours or OMAD) and I have been doing OMAD once a week. I am already at my goal weight, so I am just doing this for the health benefit. Since my cholestyramine is dosed as needed, about 5 to 6 months ago I stopped taking it to see what would happen. I have had no episodes since I have been doing OMAD once a week so I can confirm this works for me!! I still get a little bit urgent if I eat a large salad on an empty stomach, but it is nothing like it used to be. I find small amounts of veggies are very doable, especially if they are not breaking my fast. Somehow or other, lettuce seems to be one of the worst ones for my digestion.

Hi Doctor, will fasting help in ulerative colitis?

[@raypereira6268]

Dear Dr. Mindy Pelz Q. I am 55YOM with (?) Type 2 Diabetes (insulin Dependant for the past 30 years). However through healthier eating choices (protein and fats), intermitting fasting and lifestyle changes I have been able within the last three months to stop administration of Insulin and lose weight. The problem I am experiencing now when ever I take the slightest amount of sugar or carbs my BM shoots-up! (6 X) And then I have to take higher dose of insulin to manage my extremely high levels back to a normal reading roughly 5 - 8. As you can imagine, this process is encouraging me not to have any sugars or carbohydrates. Q. How long will my metabolising stabilize before I can have some sugar or will this always be the case? Regards!

[@yahairayari7659]

Since I found you I’ve been watching your videos and I’ve learned so much. I wish I found you sooner. I’m still not losing weight 😂 It all started because I have psoriasis, vitiligo, and vertigo. I was researching psoriasis and started to realize that this is a gut/ auto immune issue. I was surprised the dermatologist did not mention this 😢. I bought your book and trying so hard. At first, I bought so many vitamins for the gut which I am taking. I just started your auto immune reset…fasting is not a problem for me. Usually, I just watch your videos and don’t comment. so many things I’ve been doing wrong and I have a success story, I did lose 73 pounds on Weight Watchers about 16 years ago, but recently started gaining weight Of course I’m 40 now. 😮 I’m looking forwarded to getting myself back together. I am falling apart. Love your motivation and how passionate you are when you talk about all this. Wish me luck!

Thank you for the video, Dr. Pelz. I’ve been trying your fasting program, and I’m starting to get the hang of it. This video about autoimmunity has me thinking about my 11-year-old daughter. I don’t feel like someone so young should fast, yet she has juvenile idiopathic arthritis. I’m wondering, at what age is it safe to include her?

[@AnimaLibera]

Check out Mikhaila Peterson. Her blog is "Don't Eat That" and you can find lots of videos about her success story on KZbin.

I have ruhmethroid arthritis and I’m 22 which is young for it. I think you should give her the knowledge see what she wants to do. The radiation for everything is more dangerous than her building up to a 24-72 hour fast. All under your control but the medication long term isn’t good.

I heard him recently say that its the second X chromosome in women that have a lot of the bad genes turned on and that's why more women get autoimmune disease. He's 100% in agreement with you, autoimmune disease can be reversed (he's even helped a woman in her 90s who suffered since she was 6) wow!

I am so grateful I came across a few of your videos out. And glad I purchased Fast like a girl. I was told by my doctor about a year ago I may have lupus I’ve yet to see a specialist, I keep postponing my appts cause the only symptoms I have are a lil achey in my hands n feet which are very seldom. I did test ANA positive and that’s why she thinks I have this condition. I just completed an 84hr water fast and now following the autoimmune protocol. I’ll def consider adding some carnivore days once I’m ready. My question is: as I follow the 17hrs fasting daily and adding 1 day of 24hr fasting do I still follow the way your feeding is set out for Day 1-10 11-15 16-20 21- bleed Ketobiotic foods and then the hormone feasting food plan but ignore the fasting hours set on the diagram in the book and apply the 17hrs n 24hrs? I am very disciplined and want to do this right and not stress Only stressor I’m having is how do I go to 100-150 carbs for Day 11-15 and 21-bleed 😫 I’m nervous as I’m a low carb for many years at 30g day Any advice besides ACV I think you mentioned as long as I do 3 days not all the days ?

What is "getting well" for autoimmune? I manage my RA with ketogenic diet, avoiding my triggers (gluten, A1 dairy, some nuts). Symptom free if I stick to this, immediate bad flares if I deviate.
