@HansAmato For research, simply see animal studies.
Animals exposed to one-off fasting (e.g. a 3 day fast) who are then re-fed end up becoming much bigger/stronger than animals that have never fasted.
The same dramatic spike in testosterone and other hormones is also seen in humans.
@HansAmato I agree that intermittent/chronic fasting is a terrible idea.
But one-off fasting, despite the short-term pain, delivers long-term gains in the form of much higher sensitivity in:
- 5AR receptors
- Dopamine receptors
- Insulin receptors
- Lower baseline of inflammation.
@vegetatedgiraf@michael_hoerger @moss_sphagnum I agree.
In any case, we know the main infection tends to start in the throat/mouth, and only makes its way to the nose a day or two later (human challenge trials).
I assume an initial infection is also possible in the lungs. So you need to cover all your bases.
@BerbarianWizard This week, beyond taking suspiciously high doses of Vitamin D3 + K2, I purchased 1kg of white button mushrooms to eat.
Now I look like an amateur, and need to buy at least 2-3kgs of white button mushrooms when I next go shopping.
@vegetatedgiraf As you know it won't work...simply adding testosterone to your system means you convert it into estrogen (why those on TRT grow boobs and have small balls).
Don't think things are bad yet, I'm waiting for cancer to be removed from insurance coverage...for example.
