Autophagy Fasting Benefits |👨‍⚕️How Autophagy FIGHTS INFECTIONS!👊🤒

Infection is a common concern among the general population, contributing to millions of deaths on a yearly basis. This type of condition can affect various parts of the body, and there are different pathogens that can lead to the development of an infection. The World Health Organization1 estimated that at least 7% of patients in a hospitalized environment would obtain an infection. These are health care-associated infections. Millions of people are also affected by infections outside a hospitalized environment each year.

While antibiotics are often prescribed for the treatment of an infection, this type of drug is only effective when the condition is caused by bacterial pathogenic microorganisms. Studies now suggest that a deficiency in autophagy in the body may contribute to a higher risk of infections, leading to the potential conclusion that inducing and improving the efficacy of the process might be a way to reduce the prevalence of infection.......

There are about five different types of pathogenic microbes that can cause infection in the body. Some of these are more prevalent than others, however.
The two most common types of microbes that cause infection include:
● Bacteria
● Viruses
Apart from these, it is possible also to become infected with parasites and fungi, as well as microorganisms that are known as protozoa. Protozoa are the microbes that are behind diseases like dysentery and malaria......

Studies have been able to provide evidence that autophagy seems to play a role in infection. To be more specific, it has been found that the cellular pathway of autophagy seems to have a large connection to the development of disease in the human body - and when this process is dysfunctional, it makes the presence of a pathogenic infection more likely to occur.

One particularly important factor that we need to consider here is the fact that autophagy might have a beneficial role to play in infections that are caused by viruses. Conventional medicine only treats the symptoms caused by viral infections in the majority of cases.

One study describes that the specific mechanisms are still to be studied and whether or not the activation of autophagy during a viral infection is beneficial or not should be established. At the moment, however, the study did find a beneficial associated between.....

Dear Dr. Legrand, First of all thank you for your contribution. Your generosity will all come back to you. I have a question: I am a regular faster in addition to practicing LCHF and IF. Quite fortuitously I happened to do a 2 day water fast, broke my fast for 24 h and then did my regular 6 month blood work. To my great surprise my lipid profile came back as follows: TC: 377, HDL: 43, LDL: 315, TG: 96, all markers of course in mg/dl. I am expecting my cardiologist to have a heart attack when she sees these results which on average are 60% higher than my last blood work in July. To the best of your knowledge is there a correlation between this concerning spike and the short fast that preceded the blood work? Everything I have been learning from the LCHF community (Drs. Berg, Ali, Berry, and especially Dave Feldman) indicates that lipid metabolism on Keto-IF is a territory in the process of being explored with little conclusive data aside from making it obvious that this is a very dynamic process when on LCHF. I am not overly concerned because my trust level is very high with you and your co-explorers of health. However, I do have an RCA that has a 50-60% stenosis and I do not want to expose myself to an unnecessary risk. Any insights? No medical advice is requested here. Best regards, Pierre

Dear Dr. LeGrand. One of your "colleagues" had a video here on youtube saying that people over 60 should not fast for longer than 48 hours max. due to loss of muscle. I've done longer. 23 days in february, and some 7 days ... And do not feel I have lost muscle .. Any thoughts?
