The pharmaceutical companies wish you didn’t see this.

Good news. Heroes are not the folks on the basketball court or on a football field. Heroes are the folks in the research labs.
My A1C was at 7.5. I read the book and started following the 36 hour fast regiment. It was actually kind of fun. Two months ago my BP was down (117/80)...I lost 9 pounds and my A1C was 6.9
My doctor said, "Whatever you're doing, keep it up.
when folks started getting unexpectedly cured of T2D after bariatric surgery, it soon became clear that a near-starvation diet with nearly zero carbs for a few weeks would break the deadly insulin-increase-cell-receptor-decrease death spiral and reset the sensitivity of cell insulin receptors once they were no longer having to protect themselves from being poisoned by massive amounts of insulin.
As far as established T1D is concerned, a “cure” by diet alone is complete hogwash as in T1D, autoimmune attacks on the Islets of Langerhans have irreversibly destroyed the pancreas’ ability to manufacture insulin.

Pretty much every study on this issue supports the same finding: fasting, or a ketogenic diet (you go into ketosis whether fasting or on the keto diet), ends up repairing the body, reversing disorders, and making you stronger. Even tumors have been observed either to stop growing or get absorbed by the body by such methods, though it doesn’t work for everyone. Might depend on the type.
This isn’t good if you’re like an African and one day without food will turn you into a snack for a vulture. But if you are overweight, have diabeties, are at risk for cancer, or even have cancer, you should be considering fasting or a keto-diet.
