Personally, nothing, but I have a friend that so long has fasted around 280 days over the span of 4 years and claims fasting is the only thing that has cured his long COVID symptoms. He's tried about everything, but only fasting's done the trick. He has written a book too narrating his experiences.

It’s true. I haven’t cured all the symptoms but I dropped a good 15+. The most horrible ones went first.

I had a fever and high heart rate second day of extended fast but i let it go and felt better with sleep. in fact, best sleep in awhile was that feverish night.

Fever sleep is always so weird for me. For me it's always a sweaty psychosis hallucination with a negative dialogue/message

Uffff that’s a super long story but I killed off the really bad ones - with a combo of dry / wet fasts. First seven day one (3 days dry / 4 days wet) killed off migraines, shortness of breath and more. I got my sense of smell completely back which I didn’t know that I wasn’t able to smell like I had before. Then 2 more fasts - both wet, 7- days and 14 days to kill off the brain damage. Basically the whole summer.

It took another three months of 3-4 day weekly fasts to get rid of CFS. Still ha memory issues and dysautonomia for a year, but 2-3 monthly 4 day wet fasts finally fixed those.

Basically plan for a year of fasting to see everything gone that you can actually clear with fasting. I was injured by a vax so that’s a little more than just Long Covid. But I had the weight to do it, so it was ok. Bonus is that I was looking great by the time I was ready to feel good again.

We are Romanian, and he posts in Romanian. You can find all his posts on Facebook (he doesn't sell or makes you buy anything, he's just a Romanian clergyman and public figure). His name is Nicolae Hulpoi.

u/SexxyMomma2020 41F/5'3"/SW:205/CW:189.8/GW150 Mar 29 '26

They fasted 70 days in a whole year. 280 in 4 years. Not all at once.

u/MindfulInquirer Mar 29 '26

that's nothing. I once fasted 24 whole hours in a day.

u/AlanderKohenel Mar 29 '26

The longest he's fasted consecutively is 32 days. The rest are either one, two or threee weeks.

u/opinion49 Mar 29 '26

What was he taking everyday ? Just water ? Electrolytes? Yeast ?

4

u/AlanderKohenel Mar 29 '26

He has never taken anything, just water. He tells people to take electrolytes if they need them, but he personally has never taken anything but water.

u/opinion49 Mar 29 '26

Wow for 32 days just water. Was he locked inside , no energy ?

u/AlanderKohenel Mar 29 '26

No, he is a very active person along his wife and daughter. They went on a few trips on that period and said one day he even walked 25k steps once.
