Hello Everyone,

My name Is TrulyBlessed87 and was interested to find out If anyone has fasted to cure any of the after effects of drug abuse . I have been searching online and there has been a limited view regarding this subject. There was an old blue light post that was talking about how fasting cured hp pd. I have been talking to some people on the surviving antidepressant website which are damaged similar to mdma say that fasting helped them greatly. I am actually fasting until the end of the month starting now to see if there is any positive effects. It seems prominsing and has been shown to cure even multiple sclerosis. There is a place in costa rica called the tanglewood fasting center and they have helped many people even people addicted to methamphetmines. I was wondering anyone have success with fasting ?
 
I would not fast for this purpose. Recovering from MDMA-related (and most drug-related) injury requires energy and I think that withholding nutrition would do more harm than good. I would try adopting a healthier diet, rather than eating less.
 
Agreed but if your 3.5 years out like me I don't think nutrition is going to do nothing . People think that eating a healthier diet will help. Most people have not recovered from just a healthier diet . I guess I'm going to be the one to experiment .
 
A healthy diet doesnt consist of eating what you perceive to be healthier foods. Its time to go organic. Its about chemicals, no calories. Eating whole foods will give your brain the nutrition it needs to fix itself. If you arent eating organic, its time to switch.
 
Thank You Epic for the reply. Did organic food help you out as well , I know it is much more expensive where I live but I am willing to make the switch. Do you have any experience with organic foods and recovery ?
 
Fasting does come with health benefits, though I've never heard of or considered neural repair or anything along those lines tbh. It's really something you can do yourself though. Have a look into intermittent fasting. It's mostly aimed at physical health promotion, though I couldn't imagine there's much difference given the idea is you're not eating anything. Even simply fasting through the day consuming only water and sugar free electrolytes if needed (so not consuming anything with appreciable caloric value) then consuming a decent amount of nutritional food in the evening.

Given how long it's been, I can't see any harm in giving it a shot just to see.
 
Balanced diet is your best bet. Do you remember in the nineties everyone wanted Fat Free salad dressings, or lowfat foods? It was actually bad for you to eat that way because they replace the natural ingredients in food with unnatural frankenstein's monster ingredients.

Your best bet is to eat five small meals a day that has appreciable complex carbohydrates, fats (polyunsaturated is best), and plenty of green things. Sugar, caffeine, and unnatural ingredients are really the cause of lots of today's health problems.
 
I agree with everyone else. Fasting kind of falls under the category of a 'FAD' diet. If I were you I would consider going vegan. The meat we eat is all factory farmed bullshit pumped with loads of hormones and other shit that is not good for you. Veganism will obviously eliminate that and focus on plant based food, which will in turn cause you to be eating more micro-nutrient dense, anti oxidant foods. This mightn't be a popular suggestion but its definitley worth a shot.

Also to remind you (I'm sure you are doing all of these things already) stay clear of all drugs (including caffine, alchol, cannabis) get plenty of exercise, stay hydrated ( your urine should be clear, if its yellow its a clear sign of dehydration) and get into a good sleeping pattern.

Wishing you all the best brother
 
Thanks for the reply colin I agree with you regarding all meat product are bad. Especially in the United states where everything is fucked with from meat which Is the worst to gmos ripened with benzene . I am going vegan once this is over . The problem is how am I going to keep my testosterone recovering as mdma fucked my hormones on a plant based diet.
 
Lifting heavy weights should get your testosterone flowing and all the micro-nutrient dense foods in a vegan diet should do the same
 
Ive been lifting for the past couple of weeks but instead of feeling refreshed afterwards like i used to i feel altered and out if it. I liken mdma to almosrlt like propecia . It is a very fucked up drug
 
What amount of Mdma abuse led to this? You say it's been 3.5 Years and you have not improved? This is uncommon. Have you seen a doctor about it? Preferably one who understands the effects of heavy SRA abuse.
 
Veganism will not help. If anything you will be worse off due to missing out on vital nutrients from food sources your new found flawed morals will deny you eating, or you'll be going out of your way to make up for them. We're here to help people, not send them down a path of malnutrition.
 
trust me i am not doing this morally , Its just meat in the states is heavily messed with. fasting for me is not a fad diet or a diet at all its a period of time where the body can heal itself and honestly there are amazing results of people who could not even talk or walk and with severe neurological disorders get much better.
 
Excessive meat consumption is definitely a problem, however exclusively vegan diets will likely be lacking in essential amino acids. Essential Amino Acids are proteins that the human body cannot synthesise on its own, and thus must be sourced from your diet. It's difficult to get in all the EAAs without meat protein sources, unless you're happy to slam lentils and/or supplement with pea/rice proteins. Amino acids aren't only required for the building of muscle tissues; one EAA L-tryptophan is a direct precursor for the neurotransmitters melatonin and....serotonin!!.

So ultimately, while it's possible to be a vegan and still obtain all your required nutrients, for the purpose of your recovery it would be counter-intuitive to steer away from what's arguably one of the primary sources of amaino acids in the common diet.
 
I think fasting can be good but be careful to keep it mostly in moderation. Juicing fresh fruits and veggies while you are fasting also helps to give your body a bit of sugar for energy and some of the vitamins and minerals it needs. I wouldn't fast too much though, as keeping your body nourished with proper nutrition is really important for any kind of recovery as well (to be honest I don't have experience with HPPD, but this is important for recovering from just about any health condition). As others have said, go organic as much as possible, and stick to whole foods - healthy grains, lots of vegetables and fruits, nuts and seeds, healthy meats if you like, legumes, etc. A book that I really like about how to eat a diet that will really support your body is "Nourishing Traditions." It's got tons of info as well as recipes. When you really get into it nutrition can be pretty complex stuff and a lot of common ideas about what a healthy diet looks like are not always accurate.

edit: I would agree with the last post as well - there are definitely advantages to a vegan or vegetarian diet, but there are a lot of particular amino acids, fats, etc that are in animal foods that are important for keeping your body nourished and a lot are of particular importance to brain health and function. Eggs are really good for this, healthy grass fed beef and dairy, salmon and other fatty fish, and stuff like that.
