Does anybody have experience of fasting for curing of enlarged prostate or prostatitis?
This may just be a coincidence but I was starting to experience the symptoms of enlarged prostate. (going to the bathroom five or six times a night) I had just gotten interested in fasting and was planning to sail my boat from one side of Florida to the other. I decided to attempt a water fast for the whole trip (9 days). Up until that time the longest I had fasted for was 77 hours. On the fourth night of the trip, I slept the whole night without needing to use the bathroom. My night time urination problems were gone and have not come back. This was two years ago and I have not done a prolonged water fast since. I’ve been doing one meal a day pretty much every day since then so that may have something to do with why my symptoms never came back.
In the Netflix series (Un)Well there’s an episode on fasting, which is actually presented in a very balanced way with a lot of positivity towards the practice
There’s a man in that episode who was diagnosed with prostate cancer and uses fasting & keto to keep it at bay, could be worth a watch!
I know this discussion is a few months old but anyone coming across it might be interested in :
