Fast and neurological issues and eating disorders

Hi,

I deal with neurodegenerative issues (i’m 29 yo) due to old trauma (car crash) and cronic infections, my memory is very poor and it’s hard for me to organize my thinking and verbalize it. I hear an electric sound inside my head that makes me dizzy, sleep issues, sleepyness, etc.

It also affects a lot my emotional health as I’ve always thaugh about myself as a creative and intelligent person, and now I feel absolutely useless and depending.

I started intermitent fasting 2 years ago and expierienced so many health benefits that I slowly have been trying water and dry fasts (3 days the longest).

Does anyone here have experience with healing this kind of things? I would really like to find the motivation to do a longer fast, how many days do you think it would take to heal this kind of thing?

On the other hand I also deal with binge eating and sometimes fasting puts me in a compensatory mode, so it’s very hard for me to find or sustain a balance after I end a fast. I’m also worried that fasting enworses my relationship with food. What do you think about it?

​

thanks

Hi I also have a problem with binge eating and abusing laxatives and I’m dry fasting because it always heals my relationship with food at least for a little while. My heart goes out to you because it is such a struggle!!

How is your diet now? I am on a keto, Mediterranean diet which makes fasting easier and results on a good relationship with healthy, whole foods. It is good if you read Filonov and the Phoenix protocol to understand how food affects your body. It may help you understand why you should eat. It changed my viewpoint. Good luck.
