A 58 year old female who had finished her first Prolon ( www. prolonFMD.com ), or what is called the “5 Day Fasting Mimicking Diet”, added a 2 day water fast ending on 5/17/22. She noted she had a negative colonoscopy on 5/24/22 which on a previous exam showed excess inflammation in the colon. She also had a normal endometrial biopsy (inner lining of the uterus) on 6/27/22 after a previous ultrasound had shown excessive thickness of the endometrium.

Coincidental improvements? Maybe… Or the “fasting” and the weight loss helped! 

She did a second “fast” starting on June 29, 2022 for 5 days – She ate 1 Prolon bar (200-210 cal) and some green olives (5-6 green olives in the afternoon), coffee and herbal teas for 5 days. When she saw me she had done an additional 2 days of water only and then wanted to add 7 more days of a water fasting but made only 3 more because she got Covid. On July, 10 she broke the fast weighing 158 lbs. When I saw her on July 6, she weighed 163.2. She originally was 188 lbs. on May 2, 2022.  That is a 30lb difference in less than 10 weeks. Most of the symptoms she originally came in with are gone.

PROBLEMS (before the two modified fast – and after)
Acid reflux – gone
Anxiety – much better
Fatigue – gone
GERD – acid reflux – gone
Hip pain – left hip – almost completely gone after second “fast”
Heel pain, prickly sensation bilaterally – gone
Mental fogginess – gone
Overweight – 30 lbs. weight loss
Prediabetic – no more
Rosacea x 10 years – improved dramatically

My Clinical Experience with Food Elimination

“Food Elimination is the Most Powerful Medicine”

The first practice I eve r worked in as a physician’s assistant was in Marina Del Rey, CA in 1983. Yep 39 years ago. Every patient that came into this practice was put on a green vegetable puree, psyllium seed husks and a few vitamins for two weeks. In that two week period I saw every complaint improve. From Migraine Headaches to Inflammatory Bowel Disease to Rheumatoid Arthritis to Dramatic Weight Loss and More…

So in all my 39 years of practice I have used different tools and “diets” to get people off what they eat normally to see if they feel better. It is an amazingly simple concept…BUT VERY POWERFUL!
So, I have used:

My basic elimination diet or BED Diet (or variations thereof, page 2) ; the Inflamx medical food as a meal replacement with just vegetables and minimal fruit; Prolon or the Fasting Mimicking Diet ; or even water fasting as mentioned above. When I do pain management work with the shock wave devices and EMTT device mentioned below I always try and get the patient to go on some type of elimination diet first because many times their pain will be reduced 30-80% just by changing their food intake.

“FOOD CAN CAUSE ANY SYMPTOM…ESPECIALLY PAIN!”

If you want to talk to me about a tailored food elimination diet for you just make an appointment ( CALL 916-489-4400 ), let me take a real detailed history and you might be pleasantly surprised what symptoms go away with some type of food elimination diet tailored to what you normally eat.

If you are interested in shock wave (EPAT/ESWT pulsed sound waves) or EMTT (pulsed magnetic fields) for pain management, stimulating healing and/or for erectile dysfunctions make an appointment as well ( 916-489-4400 ). I still recommend variations of “ Kirk’s 21 Day Program ” and different fasting regimens ( Prolon and Inflamx ) for reversal of heart disease , diabetes , overweight and memory loss issues. If you have concerns about CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) , and/or mold illness those are also areas of significant interest and study for me.
