When one's body is pushing out pus and bacteria via skin infections, there is some snag in the process of detoxing. I do agree that fasting can play a role in taking food out of the equation and allowing the body to reset the process by getting the waste that is trying to get out, out. I would combine it with sitz bathing and other herbs like the oregano oil and olive leaf, but this is a forum where people wanting free advice and opinions come and so since I resonate with that way of detoxing, it makes sense to me.
MH also advocates a liver flush going into the fast and that is another important aspect. I am looking at it as though someone has allowed their body to become a incubator for infection and if you are wanting to bring that body back to health, you need to clean the blood, clean the organs that keep the waste moving and then resume eating a diet which will promote a higher level of function. Of course the complex picture, if you stand back further, it could be any number of things...for example, I was serious about suggesting it could be porphyria. Your immune system could/can become compromised in so many ways, it is certainly impossible from reading a paragraph to diagnose what you are dealing with, but some basic needs do stand out...cleaning up the blood and restoring proper functioning of the organs that move waste so it is not coming out of your skin...
I also think it is a problem in many of the forums, you see people come ask questions which are complex and they want quick simple fixes. Especially, wholistically, as opposed to allopathic where the first focus is to alleviate the symptoms, often the process takes time. Certainly, it varies. For example, if you go to the UT forum, you will find a different slant on how to proceed....
So, if what I have suggested is something you consider dangerous and routine, please, just blow it away as chaff. I come to this forum and others in my own bid to educate myself in order to maintain the health I have worked years at achieving.
There is always a choice....
as Yoda would say, "do or dont do"...
I do hope you find relief...if you dont find the answer here you LIKE, perhaps posting it in the Ask Curezone forum may drum up one you do.
Blessings on your healing path,
