\n\t\t\tOvercoming long Covid by fasting\t\t<\/p>\n\t\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tMichel Falck fought his post-Covid symptoms by fasting at Buchinger Wilhelmi\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Michel Falck (60) from Strasbourg, France, knows what it means to suddenly not be able to work or pursue your passions, to be constantly tired and listless. He and many other Covid-19 patients suffer from severe symptoms, even months after recovering from the acute infection.<\/p>\n

Long COVID \u2013 the long-term effects of the virus \u2013 left him unable to concentrate, without a sense of smell and taste, and with other impairments to his health. They were so bad that he was no longer able to play his beloved piano and had to temporarily stop working as a wine dealer. As a result, Michel Falck decided to try fasting at Buchinger Wilhelmi in \u00dcberlingen on Lake Constance.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”46254″ img_size=”large”][vc_empty_space height=”30″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1642078760176{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

In an interview with Leonard Wilhelmi, Managing Director of the Buchinger Wilhelmi fasting clinic in \u00dcberlingen, Michel Falck talked frankly about the difficult times following his infection with the coronavirus and how he managed to live a normal life again.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1642078760176{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator el_width=”60″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1642707065013{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Leonard Wilhelmi: Today we\u2019re talking about post-Covid or long Covid: You have quite an impressive story to tell us on this topic. Many people ask themselves whether fasting can make a difference with long Covid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michel Falck<\/strong>: I came to Buchinger Wilhelmi for the first time in summer 2015 and I\u2019ve been coming back ever since. Sometimes I fast properly, and sometimes intermittently. Friends who work in haute cuisine told me about the clinic. I have been a wine dealer for over 25 years now. I have two boutiques in Strasbourg, an online shop and a team of eight employees, all former sommeliers, some of whom have worked in Michelin starred restaurants. My staff are masters in the art of picking out wines that go perfectly with different dishes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1642707172199{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Leonard Wilhelmi: So I guess if you lost your sense of smell or taste, that would be terrible \u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michel Falck<\/strong>: Exactly \u2013 and I did<\/em> lose both! But I have almost completely regained them.<\/p>\n

I had a particularly bad year in 2015. I had gained a lot of weight and put almost 100 kilogrammes on the scales. I tried out self-medication. I stopped doing sport as well. I had the feeling I needed a boost.<\/p>\n

The first time I came here to fast was for ten days in summer 2015. It did me a lot of good and I lost several kilos. The next time I came back to fast was in February 2017, again for ten days. In between I stayed here twice, but just for four to five days, to visit friends to whom I had recommended the clinic \u2013 especially a friend with arthritis, who is now free of symptoms and thanks me every day for giving him your address.<\/p>\n

I came here for the sixth time in September 2021 and I have managed to keep my weight stable at around 82 kilos. This ten-day fast is particularly important for me, by the way, because I want my health to return to normal after falling ill with Covid.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1642075780851{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #edebeb !important;}”][vc_column]

\n\t\n\t\n\t
\n\t\tI was in a serious condition, and couldn\u2019t even read any more. That was the worst thing!\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\n\t

\n\t\tA regular guest at Buchinger Wilhelmi\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1642707207879{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Leonard Wilhelmi: How did you catch the virus? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Michel Falck<\/strong>: I caught the British variant of Covid-19 at the end of April 2021. I tested positive on 4 May. The next six weeks were very tough. I didn\u2019t have any respiratory problems and didn\u2019t have to go to hospital, so it wasn\u2019t a really severe case. But I had everything else: headaches, chills, and even if I didn\u2019t have a fever, it felt as if my temperature was 41 degrees. I shivered and always felt cold, even after a hot bath. Then, all of a sudden, I was feverish, lost my sense of taste, my sense of smell and started coughing. I was in a serious condition, and couldn\u2019t even read any more. That was the worst thing![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1642707238431{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Leonard Wilhelmi: Was that due to a lack of concentration or did you have difficulties understanding?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michel Falck:<\/strong> I had problems concentrating. I was practically at home until the end of June, I kept dropping things, got names mixed up and even called a very close friend by her father\u2019s name. That alone wasn\u2019t so worrying, after all, everyone gets stressed and tired. But there were so many little things. I had problems expressing myself in English and German, two languages I normally speak fluently. And just imagine, I couldn\u2019t play the piano at all, I couldn\u2019t read the notes, I couldn\u2019t even read a book or a newspaper!<\/p>\n

I started feeling better from June onwards. I regularly went to a sports instructor who worked with physiotherapists in Strasbourg. I had hardly been able to exercise at all for the past six weeks, so I started with a few stretching exercises for half an hour. The next day I was so exhausted I slept for three hours in the middle of the day! I even fell asleep in my armchair, which I never do otherwise. The fatigue steamrolls you. You can\u2019t do anything; you have no willpower \u2013 it\u2019s unbelievable. Even though I was pretty fit at the time, I did sport and made sure I lived a healthy lifestyle. I am 60\u00a0years old and have no known risk factors, none at all.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of July, I decided to do something about it. So I came here. And now I feel so good that, if everything goes well, I can start working again gradually in October. My doctor here also told me to take things slowly at first. Because on some days, I feel better, then I exert myself a bit more, and the next day I\u2019m tired again. That\u2019s just the way it is.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1642075780851{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #edebeb !important;}”][vc_column]

\n\t\n\t\n\t
\n\t\tIt may be a bit of an exaggeration to call it a miracle, but that\u2019s what it felt like.\t<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\n\t

\u2014 Michel Falck<\/h4>\n\t

\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1642707295518{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Leonard Wilhelmi: Why did you decide to choose us as a fasting clinic for treating long Covid?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michel Falck:<\/strong> I wanted to either try thalassotherapy in Brittany \u2013 a treatment using iodine, seawater, fish and shellfish \u2013 or come to your clinic to fast. I talked to my GP and my acupuncturist and nutritionist in Strasbourg about it, both outstanding specialists in their field, and they said I should not fast in my condition, that I was too weak.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, your doctor here in the clinic gave me the go-ahead. But I didn\u2019t feel up to it. I was too tired. That was in the middle of July, when I arrived, exhausted, at the clinic.<\/p>\n

So I started with 1200\u00a0kcal on the first day. The next day, we reduced that to 800\u00a0kcal without breakfast. Over the following days, I carried on with 16:8 interval fasting.<\/p>\n

And what happened next was really astonishing. It may be a bit of an exaggeration to call it a miracle, but that\u2019s what it felt like. One morning I went into the lounge. I hadn\u2019t had any breakfast, which is important and something I want to emphasize. It was ten o\u2019clock in the morning and nobody was there. If there had been someone, I wouldn\u2019t have done it because I wouldn\u2019t have had the courage. But there wasn\u2019t anybody there. And with those wonderful views you have here, they open the mind. It\u2019s simply unbelievable.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1642707325943{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]There was a piano in the room, a Steinway & Sons. I opened the lid. And then I started to play the piano, and I don\u2019t know how, but I was able to play two pieces that I know very well and had not been able to play for two-and-a-half months. I played them almost perfectly. It was a small miracle for me and very moving. One was a sonata by Scarlatti and the other a long movement from a sonata by Mozart. I had to cry, that\u2019s how moving it was. Luckily, nobody was there. I cried for three, four or five minutes.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”46240″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1642707342119{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]After that, I came here to play the piano every day. I played whenever there was nobody around. Then one time I played for a little longer, and the staff from reception and a few other people came to tell me how wonderful it sounded. A very nice lady from Paris even said to me, \u201cI heard so much emotion in your playing!\u201d And she was right: On Friday, I played and a torrent of emotions flooded out of me.<\/p>\n

And another great thing is that I have started reading books again.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1642074160157{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #edebeb !important;}”][vc_column]

Long Covid still widely unresearched<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\tInitial fasting studies show that fasting may improve the symptoms of long Covid.\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t

\n\t\t\tHowever, no research has been carried out yet on whether fasting has a positive influence on the course of long Covid. But findings from previously published fasting studies may point to possible explanations for improved symptoms. Dr. Fran\u00e7oise Wilhelmi de Toledo, Scientific Director at Buchinger Wilhelmi, summarizes them in the following video. Also in the video, Dr. Eva Lischka, a fasting expert with almost four decades of experience and former head physician at the clinic, describes four more cases of former patients with long Covid symptoms.\t\t<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\tSee the video\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n<\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1642707392239{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Leonard Wilhelmi: We have asked you if you would be prepared to work with us as part of a post-Covid study in our clinic. What do you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Michel Falck<\/strong>: Yes, I\u2019d like that. It\u2019s enlightening for me, too. I\u2019m happy to share my experience with others and tell them something about my case. When I had Covid, I felt so tired that I wasn\u2019t even able to help two close friends who were suffering from burn-out. It wasn\u2019t even a matter of helping them, just listening to them, being there for them. I felt very sad about that. I found it hard to accept it and also to accept that I needed help myself.<\/p>\n

Good friends and relatives came and brought me food because I could hardly leave the house. I managed ok alone at home, but I had to do everything very slowly. And at the beginning I felt almost \u2026 well, not guilty, but I was very unhappy about my situation. The whole time, from June to mid-July, I worked on accepting that I, too, have the right to ask for help. That also has to do with self-love, with being tender and kind to yourself. Today, I have completely accepted it. In retrospect, I even firmly believe that Covid came at just the right time to save me from another health issue in connection with my extremely busy lifestyle![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1642707426279{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”]Leonard Wilhelmi: <\/strong>Thank you for talking so frankly with us.
