[Music] welcome back this is Dr Jin s where clinical Excellence meets excellent results today's topic is fasting and parasites before I get started I am excited to announce we have launched our educational modules on diet lifestyle and nutrition it is called holistic health Champions it will include a vast amount of knowledge and content a community board along with we weekly q&as where we answer your burning questions is a place where you can ask questions safely without ridicule and you will get the answers that you deserve so if you're interested please sign up below the website
is already open it started on August 22nd so let's get started on today's video fasting parasites parasite life cycle may be interrupted by fasting so if you don't eat for a certain period of time the nutrient deficiencies May disrupt the life cycle of a parasite so from egg larvae all the way to the adult stages the nutrient deficiency may impact them now there is a caveat though you may put the parasite into a dormant stage where they go into hiding and their you know dormant like hibernating and they become a little bit harder to kill
later on short-term fasting meaning one to 3 days May boost the immune system may impact the gut microbiome and resetting the gut microbiome also resetting insulin which would help your immune system so a short-term fast May boost your immune system helping to fight parasitic infections autophage and parasite clearance so when you do the fast after about the 17th or 20th hour you start going to further autophagy when this happens you're cleaning out damaged components and intra cellular parasites so fasting I think at the peak level of autophagy is probably going to be around the second
and third day okay starvation and parasite resilience so can survive nutrient scarcity some parasites will take the opportunity where you can't they can't get the nutrients that they need and they will start to feed on the host tissue meaning you so there is a problem sometimes where if you go into too long of a fast that it will actually improve the parasitic resiliency and they will start to uh feed off the [Music] host fasting helps with detoxification and parasite elimination so fasting gives the digestive system a break right so when you eat foods natural processes
occur and you actually get what we call reactive oxygen species or R so just giving your body a break from processing all the food proteins it allows your body to focus on clearing toxins and parasites out of our system combining the fasting with complimentary therapies I think this is where you need to be so fasting um can be beneficial in terms of helping the parasitic cleanse portion of it however you may be limited in terms of trying to get completely getting rid of the parasites because some parasites are more resilient than others so what do
we need to do you want to combine the fasting along with complimentary therapies things like herbal remedies that are antimicrobial or anti-parasitic you can do saunas you can do pulse magnetic frequencies that may disrupt uh these parasitic infections you can also do laser applications so complimentary and alternative therapies should be combined with the fasting to get the best possible results so fasting can be one day it can be up to three days I would caution against going further than 3 to five days of fasting because you need the nutrients also and you need to build
resilience and build your immune system so going for too long or into starvation mode may be detrimental to you so combining short-term fasting meaning one to three days along with complimentary medicine with herbs where you can rotate different types of herbs and combine them and you can make an impact on clearing the parasitic infections so there is a potential risk to the host due to the weakening of the immune system and lack of nutrients so you don't want to go beyond um um your physiological um resilience so some people come in and they're very sick
to start with for those patients you might want to just build resilience first before you try to kill anything off so some people are good they just have a GI infections but they're relatively healthy their immune system is still robust enough then you may incorporate fasting along with natural herbal remedies or if the patient can get a hold of anti-parasitic medications certainly they can do that but is fasting the endall to killing off parasites no can you combine fasting with other complimentary medicine or Herbal Remedies yes I think that's probably the best strategy that you
can take in order to get rid of parasitic infections all right my name is Dr Jen Sun where clinical Excellence meets excellent results and we'll see you guys next week on the healthy side have an awesome day
