“phage” has its origins in the Latin word “phagein”, meaning “to eat’. My understanding is that microphages/macrophages (eat little things/eat big things) consume pathogens and foods that enter the body, while autophagy (”eat self”) degrades and recycles parts of the body itself, specifically damaged host cells. They all fight together to keep the body healthy and functional but have different roles. The IVM would help to keep the SP out of healthy host cells. Logic suggests that cells that have already been invaded by SP are not seen by the body as “damaged” because they continue to exist and proliferate. The body would have to somehow identify these commandeered cells as “damaged” before they could become targets for destruction/autophagy.

I’m delighted to hear that fasting is helping you. My limited knowledge of cancer is that it’s an uncontrolled growth of aberrant cells, and their ideal food to grow and survive is sugar/glucose. Cancer cells in a fasting environment are fragile because they’ve been deprived of their means of growth and survival. That makes them more susceptible to chemotherapy and other cancer treatments and induces apoptosis or cell death. Once a cell is damaged/destroyed, autophagy can break it down and clear the waste from the body.

When the body isn’t quite so busy with the digestive processes initiated by eating, and with handling inflammation from eating the wrong things, it has more resources available to combat oxidative stress and to initiate cellular repair mechanisms. Fasting also causes normal healthy cells to divide more slowly, which helps to protect them from the toxic shock caused by the cancer medications. All available resources in the body are being corralled for one purpose (repair), which might be why fasting seems to mitigate the side effects of chemotherapy.

:: handling inflammation from eating the wrong things ::

ACE-2 receptors
Protein Spikes
It all makes sense once the dots come together.

Thank you very much! I also eat keto based on a book “keto for cancer” so I avoid sugar and flour and probably will for life. Now if I can set an example for my vaxxed kids so they can work on those SP’s. Once they wake up of course.

Thank you, Linda! Very helpful explanation of how IM and the phages work.
