Fasting and Diet in the Reversal of Stage 3 Cancer

A case study explored the potential benefits of water-only fasting and a whole food plant-based diet in the treatment of stage 3 follicular lymphoma. A 42-year-old woman with a low-grade follicular lymphoma opted for medically supervised water-only fasting for 21 days, followed by a plant-based diet. The physical examination and CT scan showed a reduction in the size and activity of cancerous lymph nodes. The adoption of a plant-based diet alone may have contributed to these positive changes, as research suggests it reduces the risk of lymphomas. Additionally, the consumption of animal-derived proteins and fats may increase the risk of follicular lymphoma. Moreover, exposure to industrial pollutants found in meat, milk, and fish may also play a role. The study highlights the potential of dietary interventions in supporting cancer treatment and improving patient outcomes.
