In the past, before fully diving into Peat's reading, I was very interested in fasting. I actually did a 20 day fast right before going full Peat-mode. One thing that people often experience when fasting for periods of more than a few days is that old injuries will hurt again, and then stop hurting. The idea is that the body is consuming itself, so it preferentially starts with consuming scar tissue. I can vouch that this happened to me as well - old shoulder problems burned for a day then went away, my heels hurt from where I used to have plantar fasciitis then went away, my toes hurt from where I used to have arthritis pain, etc.
I also suspect it has something to do with the gut not constantly being ****88 up by shitty food (endotoxins from fermentation?), so the body has the ability to heal things it normally couldn't?
So, I'm on Day 7 of Peat mode and loving it, but over the past couple days I am experiencing the pain in the same places as during my fast - in places where I had old injuries. I am concerned because the places of old injuries include places I used to have debilitating arthritis pain - I can't tell if it's arthritis pain or the scar tissue thing. I also have pain in places where I never had arthritis, but injuries instead, which makes me think I am fine and it is just healing. Has anyone else experienced this kind of pain when switching to a Peat-style diet?
