DR. ANTHONY CHAFFEE: it's just that high insulin suppresses autophagy and it suppresses all these other functions in your body. It suppresses the formation of ketones, forcing energy into cells; it doesn't allow them to come out of cells.


When you fast you just stop eating but you also just stop eating carbs.  And then your insulin comes down and then you start opening up your metabolism.  So the thing is that insulin doesn't just affect sugar metabolism and your blood sugar levels even though the American Diabetes Association would like you to think that because they say, "your diabetes patience oh they don't have to restrict carbs.  Just make sure they take enough insulin so they keep their blood sugar down because blood sugar being high is actually directly damaging it's to you and it's really just harmful to your body.  That's why you need your blood sugar levels down.  It's very important to your body to keep it down.  That's why it raises your insulin.  So basically it's toxic to your body over a certain point. Your body responds to this toxin, the high blood sugar being a toxin, by trying to detoxify it by raising your insulin to get it down.  But the problem is insulin affects over 100 different processes in your body, like autophagy.  So it's not the "not eating" that's doing it, it's just that high insulin suppresses autophagy and it suppresses all these other functions in your body.  It suppresses the formation of ketones, forcing energy into cells; it doesn't allow them to come out of cells.  So when your insulin level is up, you can't start using your fat as energy.

AUTOPHAGY: When we don’t eat, these little cellular factories have a chance to tidy up, replace broken machinery, and use up waste material.

According to Dr. Ealy, because it jumpstarts autophagy, “hunger is healing.” He has observed that depriving the body of nutrients for a three-day water-only no-calorie fast can help resolve the symptoms of a variety of health conditions, Dr. Ealy said in his October 15 talk in Arizona. 
Fasting, Dr. Ealy claimed, can help reverse damage caused by COVID-19 vaccines and other toxic exposures.

From Jennifer Margolis at the Epoch Times.  

“The most important thing you can do every single day to make sure you are getting into autophagocytosis,” Dr. Ealy said, “is to be hungry.” Hunger, Ealy insisted, is a key strategy that helps the body heal.

You can think of cells like little factories, in a way. They take all the nutrients we eat and turn them into our body and the processes that drive our body. When we don’t eat, these little cellular factories have a chance to tidy up, replace broken machinery, and use up waste material. This is autophagy. 

. . . 

ATP, if you remember back to Biology 101, stands for adenosine triphosphate. If our cells are little factories, ATP is the fuel they run on. This organic compound, which is found in all living organisms (including the most primitive unicellular beings), provides energy to living cells.

ATP consists of three components: adenine, ribose, and triphosphate. You can also think of ATP as molecular money—the currency that is needed to transfer energy from cell to cell. ATP is made by tiny organelles inside our cells called mitochondria that are considered “the powerhouses” of the cells.

Autophagy breaks cellular components down to  molecules, such as monosaccharides, fatty acids, and amino acids that can be used to produce ATP.

This is impressive: 

“Fasting is the off-switch,” Dr. Ealy said. After studying cellular biochemistry, Dr. Ealy believes that a three-day water fast, which compels the cells to engage in autophagy, can help the body clear these spike proteins, whether they are from a SARS-CoV-2 infection itself or from an mRNA vaccine.

After the three-day fast, Dr. Ealy prescribed eleven days of targeted nutrients and enzymes to further help his patient break down any circulating spike protein, he explained.

It took this patient three cycles of fasting followed by nutritional healing before she started to feel better. But the results were startling. After those cycles when she had her blood redrawn, her doctor was astonished by how healthy her hormone levels were. They were so normal, in fact, that her doctor wondered if the protocol had reversed her autoimmune condition.
