Colds came and along with them the flu virus activates. Recently, scientists have confirmed the theory of an effective anti-flu metod - medical fasting. It is proved that the process of burning internal fats, which occurs during ketogenic starvation, helps protect the body from the most common influenza A virus. A corresponding study by American scientists is published in the journal Science Immunology (https://news.mail.ru/society/39505681/? ... ...)
In the experiment, were involved in two groups of rodents - experimental and control. The first one a week before the infection with the influenza A virus was planted on a ketone diet, in which the body loses glucose, consumes only proteins and begins to burn its own fat. The second group was in diet high in carbohydrates. Experts observed that animals from the first group more easily suffered the disease, in particular, they had higher survival. With therapeutic fasting, the body experiences ketoacidosis, in which the immune system cells that delay the influenza A virus are activated.
At the Ayurmedika Clinical Fasting Center, the patient is constantly taking measurements on ketones using test strips. This makes it possible for the doctor and patient to see firsthand that ketoacidosis has occurred and the body has begun to consume internal fats.
Another factor - during therapeutic fasting, all pathways of the gastrointestinal tract are cleansed, which contributes to the destruction of the pathogenic environment for the development of diseases. In addition, the body without eat experiences stress, it emits a large amount of energy from inside itself, which allows in some cases to cope with colds or other diseases.
A.N. Kokosov, a recognized expert in the field of fasting, writes: “Unloading and dietary therapy is a stress for the human body that mobilizes the sanogenetic mechanisms of all levels to overcome the“ difficult situation ”... conditions are created in which the mechanisms of local self-regulation are activated from their therapeutic effect "(RDT in the clinic of internal diseases / Edited by A.N. Kokosov. Materials of the Republican scientific-practical conference in the Republic of Belarus: Ulan-Ude, 2001 - St. Petersburg: publishing house" Lan, 2001. - P.160).
