A Full and Permanent Resolution of Long COVID Symptoms achieved through an Extended Hybrid Water Fast: a Case Report

Introduction: This report presents the first documented case of a full and permanent resolution of Long COVID symptoms through an extended hybrid water fast. Case Presentation: The 32-year-old patient had suffered from Long COVID for nearly a year before the intervention: a 28-day water fast into which brief, targeted periods of dry fasting were inserted. By the end of the fast all symptoms had fully resolved, and the patient has remained symptom-free for the last four years. Discussion: Based on theoretical and clinical considerations, it is likely that the applied protocol is more powerful than a simple extended water-only fast. Conclusions: Because of the typically multisystemic nature of Long COVID, the targeted therapies of standard Western medicine are unlikely to be fully effective. In contrast, extended hybrid water fasting offers the necessary boost to the entire immune system, in order to effect the systematic long-term relief of this illness.

By the end of the fast all symptoms had fully resolved, and the patient has remained symptom-free for the last four years. Discussion: Based on theoretical and clinical considerations, it is likely that the applied protocol is more powerful than a simple extended water-only fast.
