What can be done about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Long Covid?
I'm curious what health protocols would be best for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I read this review, https://psychscenehub.com/psychinsights/chronic-fatigue-syndrome-myalgic-encephalomyelitis/, but had trouble understanding a few things. It wasn't clear to me what the exact immune system response was and which interleukins were the culprit, and if any behavioral actions or pharmacology can reduce those interleukins. Thanks!
7 Day Water Fast
Dana White had recently revealed that he had completed an 86 hour fast. He claims that the studies show that "It gives you an over 70% chance of not getting cancer, alzheimer's, and other nasty diseases." I am not a scientist, but I conclude that our body and brain need food to function. Ignoring external benefits, is there any research showing how this 7 day fast may be or may not be beneficial for our brains and our bodies, and what is your opinion?
Temperature ranges for deliberate cold (water) exposure
Most of the studies I have seen on cold water exposure have people sitting up to their neck in water that's in the 50 - 60 degree (F) range. I generally spend about 5 minutes in a cold plunge that is just above freezing (32F - 34F). Should I expect the benefits shown in the studies with warmer water to be the same? Are they likely to be greater or achieved in a shorter time? I generally use the cold plunge 4 - 5 times per week
