Not eating foods that your allergic to or are junk foods will likely decrease inflammation. Not eating foods that are healthy and have high quality nutrients your body needs can contribute to inflammation. Starving yourself can make things worse if you're already ill. Much of the hype is aimed at "healthy people" not people with serious illness.her argument is that multi-day fasts have been shown to reduce inflammation and promote autophagy, which I find particularly interesting. If it works.
As for increasing autophagy, sleep, exercise, resveratrol, curcumin, coffee, and several other things increase autophagy. For a good rundown on this topic, this might be helpful:

Your practitioner dies not sound very scientific, unfortunately. It might be wise to pin her down for evidence in the blain's she's making.
So, you've found that increasing nutritional support can help. That's great. It really can help a lot.I do have nutritional deficiencies and problems with methylation, which I’ve been treating with supplements for the last 4 months. Molybdenum and L Lysine supplementation specifically have gotten me to the point where I’m able to take NAC and not experience the horrible side effects of methylation.
Stopping nutrition can reverse progress and make progress more challenging. At worst, it cause refeeding syndrome, not a good place to be.
It seems quite unlikely you can know that youre successful with water fasting or supplementing in a few days... How do you measure autophagy? Toxicity? Nutrient status?should know one way or another in a few days here, and I’ll post the results of this n=1 experiment.
