Fasting

I see so many posts here about prednisone and methotrexate with various levels of success. I have been dealing with lung sarc for 15 years. I have only ever taken prednisone for flare ups, like if I get a cold or other respiratory illness. I have never tried methotrexate. Mostly, I think those drugs end up causing other problems. I have, to various levels of success, tried to control it by eating better. It does take discipline but your quality of life is worth it. Recently, within the past year I have been fasting. I have done one meal a day and more extended fasts. Honestly if you break your fast the right way, I believe this is the best way to improve your situation. I’m not an expert but there are countless resources and information on fasting for healing your body. It does work but it also takes some serious commitment. I highly recommend looking into it and trying it if you have not. Your body has an amazing ability to heal itself if you have the determination. Sarcoidosis is inflammation and fasting reduces inflammation like no drugs. The key is ensuring that you don’t fall back into the same eating habits and commit to a somewhat regular fasting schedule. If you’re able to start with maybe a 24-48 hour fast and work your way up to more prolonged fasting, I think you can put your sarc into remission. Of course I am not a doctor and you should consult yours before starting. Do your research though.
