 Ask Magnus or Magnus Answers or whatever. I forgot what the title of the video is. I'm gonna put it on there before I upload it. Anyway, look. Fasting to heal a shoulder injury. This kid's got a question, alright? He says, I'm 15 years old and I've been struggling with a shoulder injury for four months now. Because of me doing stupid exercises and having shitty form and not sticking to my compound movements when starting out, I've learned my lesson. I went to a physical therapist and he gave me exercises to do. He gave me new ones too and I've been doing them for a month now. No change. As he said, I might have a labral tear as we'll have to get an MRI. And if it says that I do have a tear, I have to get surgery. My question to you though is should I do it today water fast? Or what would you recommend for me to do? I'm skinny as fuck and just want to get back to lifting but not with this nagging shoulder. I'm not sure if it will stop my growth or shall I go for surgery? Please help me out on this one. Alright man, if I were you, you're gonna have to set your ego aside, okay? Check out the video I did on my day water fast. They'll have a lot more info but you're gonna set your ego aside. I know what it's like to want to get that muscle or to have it and not want to lose it. And you kind of might use your muscle as a crutch, you know what I mean? Especially with girls, oh if I lose my muscle and the girls aren't gonna want me and trust me it's not true. You carry yourself with pride and confidence and girls recognize that more than they do muscle. Trust me, I lost my muscle for a while at one point and I was still pulling women so you'll be fine. Your main objective is your health now, okay? You've got an injury, as soon as you're injured that's your first day starting back to recovery. So what you want to do, if I were you first of all the last, last, the last thing I want to do was go under the knife. Because there can be complications with surgery that can fuck up, that can make your injury worse or they can make it so that it can never heal properly again. So if I were you, I would go see a natural healthcare physician about your shoulder. I would stop lifting, but you may want to still do light exercises with what the physical therapist was telling you. Maybe, that's why I'm sitting here, I'm not a physician but I'm telling you what I would do I'm against surgery, unless I'm in a car accident and I'm all fucked up, then you gotta, yeah, okay, that's different. Not for this. Like I said, I had my shoulder injury, I had knee tears and they were all healed through the 10 day water fast. Now, if I were you, if you've never done it before I'm just telling you, check out my other video but paraphrase, everything that I said really fast basically in short, you're going to want to start out fasting lightly one day a week, maybe two days a week if you can go one to three, even three days is good for a beginner. It won't kill you to do three days, okay? Don't be working out, just let your body heal itself but when you see a natural healthcare physician you may also want to go on a long juice fast, all right? Juice fast, juice different fruits and vegetables while you're on your fast maybe even take a nutritional supplement like athletic greens so that your body is getting all this nutrients there is no burden on the digestive system and it says, hey, that shoulder fucked up let's go over there and handle that with the nutrients vibrate, B and E, get the fuck over there and heal this guy's shoulder, you know what I mean? Everything else, calcium, conjoin MSM get the fuck over there, you know what I'm saying? Your body is not worried about food your body is healing your injury animals in the wild fast when they're injured or when they're sick nature knows best as far as I'm concerned not some man with gray hair with a stethoscope and a white jacket that's what I'm telling you so if I were you try to see a holistic a natural healthcare physician someone who treats the whole body the words about your health rather than going under the knife if you don't have the money to do that I would suggest trying out one to three days fasting every week I think you could do that if you start to have any adverse reactions like any heart palpitations or arrhythmias just something that scares you back off one day a week stop lifting, stretch what you can leave that shoulder alone until it feels better if it's to a point where maybe you've waited a few weeks like maybe a month or two and you're still fasting one to three days a week and it's not getting any better if it's that damaged you may want to but give us first, second, third even a fourth opinion before you go under that knife because that shit can be dangerous hope this helps you man I'll talk to you later
