It is recorded in the medical litrature that certain types of parasites that comes through eating (infected food) are much less likely to give parasite infection when person at same time as meal was drinking a few glasses of wine.
Most likely because the alcohol weakened or even killed of the parasites that otherwise would invade the intestinal system.
I do not remember what parasite this was, but I remember I was reading it in serious medical book or journal somewhere.
And it make sense also.
Several studies also show people drinking no alcohol have shorter life span than people drinking moderate. But there could be many reasons for this.
Also heavy drinking gives shortest life span (compared to moderate and no alcohol)
In some countries it is tradition to drink wine with the food, this make some sense as the alcohol will be able to reduce live bacterias and some parasites in the food.
When parasites first have got access to the body I would think the alcohol consentratrations (even if you got drunk) in the body would be too small to kill most infections.
I personally think it has some effect on something. Whether it overpowers some yeast and you get a tiny break from yeast or paras just slow their sucking down a bit until its out of you. But by no means is it a cure from my experience.
Sometimes yeah. Other times I can't get out of bed the whole next day. The fasting thing probably has more to do with Sugar intake, carbs or leaky gut maybe. Food definitely effects me. Sometimes 10 mins after I eat I will suddenly be in a deep brain fog almost dream state followed by finding the nearest soft object and falling asleep. I always feel terrible and dirty when I wake up from one of those as well.
Also when I said the alcohol making me feel a little better this isn't beer for the most part. Strong whiskey or any alcohol like that because when I drink beer my tongue coat doubles. It's funny because I was reading some stuff on brewing beer and people were saying a quick way to kill yeast was to overpower it with stronger alcohol.
