Hi there,
I have been doing a lot of personal research on Cancer lately, and just recently came across a man named Valter Longo. Basically as I understand it, he promotes fasting prior to chemo treatment and just after.
Honestly, I havent looked too deeply into his research yet as I personally do not agree with fasting in general, especially when I would assume your body needs nutrients and sugar the most.
I may still look into his work, just for the sake of research and a better understanding of many points of view.
I was interested to know if any of you heard of this guy and what your thoughts were on this particular subject. I dont know for sure, but it would seem to me, from what I currently know about the body, that fasting during chemo would be dangerous. What do you think?
Here are a few links if you want to check it out for yourself:
