I think according to Valter Longo that prolonged fasting wipes out your immune cells that then repopulate with new, fresh ones upon refeeding. I have also heard that prolonged fasting can help with autoimmune diseases, where your immune cells attack your own body, because the new immune cells that repopulate do not have the “autoimmune property” that the wiped out ones had.
Given the above, here’s my question. After the Covid vaccine, your immune cells have the property that they recognize and fight the Covid virus, which is key for them to provide protection. So, if you fast after receiving the vaccine, and thereby wipe out your immune cells, do the new, fresh one still have the “vaccine property” that protects from Covid.
I am not a doctor. But I kind of doubt it—if your immune system would “forget” about coronavirus, it would also forget about every other disease it’s ever encountered. This means that people would get very sick after fasting and that other vaccines (like tetanus or polio) would not work, but neither of these things is true. So I don’t think that immunity “memory” works in that way.
Fasting will have little to no impact on effectiveness of covid vaccine. Immunity is vastly complex. Fasting can reduce levels of inflammation activity that are not necessary, but your body will still produce good inflammation when prompted by a foreign substance. This is good.
Analogy: a peace treaty doesn’t mean your country no longer has a military. It means you dont fight needless wars.
No, because your immune system has memory cells that don’t get “wiped out” because even the cells that have memory if they get “wiped out” the antibodies would deattach and the “new” cells would in a sense get the antibodies and you’ll stay vaccinated
