Intermittent Fasting: Hungry for Facts?
Science Vs
Fasting along with chemotherapy kills cancer cells.
Research indicates that fasting may weaken tumors by cutting off the cancer's food supply. Cancer cells, which thrive on sugar, are confused and weakened in a fasting state, making them vulnerable to conventional medicine like chemotherapy, creating a one-two punch effect. Studies on mice have shown promising results, with more mice surviving cancer when fasting was combined with chemotherapy compared to those only receiving chemotherapy. This approach is being researched to understand its potential in fighting cancer in humans, although convincing experts to consider fasting during chemotherapy can be challenging due to conventional beliefs.
