Ewa Dąbrowska lists Hashimoto’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and multiple sclerosis (MS) as diseases for which fasting may support treatment.
- For Hashimoto’s disease, it may lower antibody levels and sometimes help the thyroid regenerate.
- For RA, it may reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling and improve joint mobility; for MS, it may ease symptoms and reduce relapses.
- Cases of improvement in people with RA and MS have also been described, but these are reports about individual patients.

A fruit-and-vegetable fast may support treatment for Hashimoto’s disease, RA, and multiple sclerosis.
„A fruit-and-vegetable fast may support treatment for many autoimmune diseases, such as Hashimoto’s disease, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, multiple sclerosis, liver cirrhosis, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and allergies (e.g. asthma and eczema).”Post warzywno-owocowy może wspomagać leczenie wielu chorób autoimmunologicznych, takich jak Hashimoto, reumatoidalne zapalenie stawów, toczeń rumieniowaty, stwardnienie rozsiane, marskość wątroby, łuszczyca, atopowe zapalenie skóry czy alergie (np. astma, egzema).

For RA, fasting may reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling and improve joint mobility, especially in the early stages of the disease.
„Fasting may reduce inflammation, pain, and swelling and improve joint mobility, especially in the early stages of the disease. It is important to rule out food intolerances (most commonly to milk, eggs, grains, and yeast). Systemic lupus erythematosus: antibodies attack cell nuclei (ANA).”Post może zmniejszyć stan zapalny, ból i obrzęki oraz poprawić ruchomość stawów – szczególnie w początkowym stadium choroby. Ważne jest wykluczenie nietolerancji pokarmowych (najczęściej dotyczą one: mleka, jaj, zbóż i drożdży). Toczeń rumieniowaty układowy Przeciwciała atakują jądra komórek (ANA).

For multiple sclerosis, fasting may improve neurological function, reduce the frequency of relapses, and ease symptoms of weakness or paralysis.
„Fasting may improve neurological function, reduce the frequency of relapses, and ease symptoms of weakness or paralysis. The effects are better when foods that are not tolerated are eliminated. Psoriasis: skin lesions often clear up after just one fasting cycle, even after many years of illness.”Post może poprawić funkcje neurologiczne, zmniejszyć częstość rzutów choroby i złagodzić objawy niedowładów. Efekty są lepsze przy eliminacji nietolerowanych pokarmów. Łuszczyca Zmiany skórne często cofają się już po jednym cyklu postu, nawet po wielu latach trwania choroby.

With Hashimoto’s disease, a reduction in thyroid antibodies and normalization of thyroid hormones have been observed after the diet.
„Hundreds of people from across the country and abroad who have Hashimoto’s disease come to us for the fruit-and-vegetable diet, which is a form of fasting. They really do leave satisfied because they improve—not only in how they feel, but also because their thyroid antibodies decrease and their thyroid hormones return to normal.”Przyjeżdżają do nas na dietę warzywno-owocową, która jest odmianą postu, setki osób z różnych stron kraju i z zagranicy cierpiących na Hashimoto i rzeczywiście wracają zadowoleni, gdyż następuje poprawa i to nie tylko samopoczucia, ale również obniżają się przeciwciała przeciwtarczycowe i normalizują hormony tarczycy.

A woman with RA was described as regaining joint function after repeated courses of the diet and being able to walk without crutches.
„Thanks to frequent, repeated courses of the fruit-and-vegetable diet, she can run and walk without crutches. Her mobility has returned; she can bend and straighten all her joints without difficulty and walks freely. She used to walk like a duck. She eliminated foods she did not tolerate (rye, rice, soy, and mushrooms).”Dzięki często powtarzanym kuracjom warzywno-owocowym może biegać, poruszać się bez kul, powróciła sprawność, może bez problemu zginać i prostować wszystkie stawy, chodzi swobodnie, dawniej chodziła jak kaczka. Wykluczyła nietolerowane pokarmy (żyto, ryż, soję, grzyby).

A patient with multiple sclerosis was described as having no further relapses after a six-week diet, walking again, and returning to work.
„Two years ago, he followed the six-week fruit-and-vegetable diet and lost 16 kg, as he had been overweight. Since then, he has had no further relapses and feels very well. He can walk without difficulty, and his blood pressure and cholesterol levels have also returned to normal; previously, he had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. He was able to return to work and is not taking medication.”Przed dwoma laty zastosował 6-tygodniową dietę warzywno-owocową, schudł wtedy 16 kg, a miał nadwagę, i od tej pory nie było już więcej rzutów choroby, czuje się bardzo dobrze, może bez problemu chodzić, także znormalizowały się ciśnienie krwi i poziom cholesterolu, a wcześniej miał nadciśnienie i hipercholesterolemię. Mógł powrócić do pracy, jest bez leków.

Fasting may lower antibody levels in Hashimoto’s disease and sometimes help the thyroid regenerate.
„Autoimmune thyroiditis, in which antibodies (anti-TPO, anti-TG) destroy thyroid cells, leading to an underactive thyroid. A fruit-and-vegetable fast may lower antibody levels and, in some cases, even help the damaged thyroid regenerate. It is important to rule out food intolerances and monitor iodine levels.”Autoimmunologiczne zapalenie tarczycy, w którym przeciwciała (anty-TPO, anty-TG) niszczą komórki tarczycy, prowadząc do jej niedoczynności. Post warzywno-owocowy może obniżyć poziom przeciwciał, a w niektórych przypadkach nawet doprowadzić do regeneracji zniszczonej tarczycy. Ważne jest wykluczenie nietolerancji pokarmowych i kontrola poziomu jodu.

„For example, for the autoimmune diseases multiple sclerosis, thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, we do not know which antigen causes the production of autoreactive T cells. However, there is one autoimmune disease whose cause we do know: celiac disease, which is caused by gluten. After going gluten-free for just a few weeks, some people see benefits and a reduction in their celiac symptoms. Most significantly, gluten has clearly been shown to cause symptoms that can lead to a diagnosis of MS. In some cases, an MS diagnosis has been reversed simply by eliminating gluten from the diet.”For example, for the autoimmune diseases multiple sclerosis, thyroiditis, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus, we do not know what antigen is causing the production of auto reactive T cells.
