I was just wondering whether anyone here has tried fasting or similar therapies (ketogenic diet, coconut oil, etc) to improve concussion symptoms/ heal brain trauma faster?

A year ago I suffered a concussion, whose symptoms lasted 5 months. After that I would experience the symptoms again for 1-3 weeks after even a slight bump to the head. Additionally, I would get emotional symptoms along with the concussions such as depression, anxiety, and exhaustion.

What I discovered after struggling for several months with these repetitive impacts is that a short water fast, 24-36 hours, gets rid of the emotional stress, depression and anxiety and many if not all of the other concussion symptoms too. Short term memory in particular has responded very well, dizziness and headache decrease and eventually disappear over the 24-36 hours, and tasks which would be difficult for me to perform, such as reading or jogging, are easier to do during the fast. All benefits which I gain during the fast, continue after breaking the fast. So a concussion which would take up to 3 weeks to heal under normal conditions, will heal in 36 hours provided I take only water during that time.

Even more interesting, I have noticed if I accidentally bump my head while I am in ketosis (having fasted at least 18 hours or so) there are no symptoms except maybe a slight headache.

I am curious whether anyone has had a similar experience to me and I also wanted to share my very successful experience. Keeping in mind, certain medical conditions can make fasting dangerous so please, make sure you have had a medical check up, and read up on fasting, before you try it!
