The trial was done with patients on various medical therapies, so the fasting was an adjunct to these; however, it was responsible for a lot of positive changes.

Various cancers were included, but breast and melanoma cancers were called out in the write up.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common/Top Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common/Top Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

I wish they had done a comparative between actual fasting and the fast mimicking diet.

Lettuce and celery?

Why not full fast?

I usually forget to eat, not interested in food and a lousy cook. Weigh 115 now, can’t gain because I don’t eat much. My friends “hate” me. LOL

Anyway, I don’t think I’m in danger of cancer, the good Lord willing, and a fair sea. Have had skin cancer though, due to a childhood spent in the sun with no suntan lotion.

I watched a documentary on netflix called the science of fasting. The research was so old most of it had been done in the old soviet union but it clearly showed that fasting for 4 days before chemotherapy results in only tumor cells still looking for and absorbing sugar. Since sugar is the carrying agent in most chemotherapy drugs the cancer cells lap up the chemo with the sugar. The bodies own normal cells are perfectly capable of dealing with short duration starvation diet but the cancer cells are not. Funny how these obvious effects are still not known in this country. Might it have something to do with not being able to charge someone for not eating before chemotherapy.

Most articles I've read are 800-1000 calories on day 1 and about 600 days 2-5. The main key is less than 16g protein, and around 50g carbs. Fats don't matter. And get nutrients through a green powder and supplements.

"The real point of a fasting mimicking diet is to experience both autophagy and apoptosis. Both require that you cut your protein to somewhere in the range of 16 grams per day (or even less). Apoptosis is programmed cell death –– in this case the deaths of senescent cells. Around two or three days into a fast, there’s evidence that your body runs out of cellular debris, so it starts eating its own cells. ... It appears to kick in two or three days after the start of autophagy."

I'll leave it to the diligent to search out the benefits or autophagy,
