One of the reasons I began
intermittent fasting (IF) in February 2012 was evidence that fasting had
some effect on cancer cells. It was the reference to prostate cancer cells being
susceptible to fasting that provoked my initial interest!
The evidence suggested that, whilst
fasting, the body’s cells go into repair mode – but invasive cells (cancers,
tumours) are neglected and become easier to treat.
Since then evidence continues to accumulate
that this is so – but in my experience, the research is disparate and scattered.
I wanted to bring any research that I have
come across into one place; to which I can refer any friends and relatives who
may know someone with cancer – unfortunately all too common an occurrence
latterly, it seems to me.
