I have tried various fasts. I did a 5 day pure water fast which made me much worse.
I did a 14 day juice fast with no results.
However i had phenomenal results from a "buchinger" fast. It is a German style of fasting on max 250kcal a day from juice and broth. After 11 days I had the strongest spiritual clarity I have ever experienced. I no longer felt the need to recover. It was a privilege to exist and experience consciousness.
At day 13-14 my CFS symptoms were rapidly vanishing. However after breaking the fast my symptoms rapidly returned with a vengeance

I did a 3 day fast as an inpatient, to rule out an insulin-secreting tumour. I actually felt much better, but will say that I had an emotional crash afterwards, although I'm not sure how much of that can be put down to hospital insomnia/witnessing upsetting situations. They were also very concerned with taking my temperature and blood pressure at regular intervals (and of course blood glucose), so maybe wise to take those precautions.
