Fasting Slows Some Cancers
How do you stop cancer cells from thriving? Stop feeding them. That’s the suggestion of research conducted with mice at the University of Southern California, where scientists have found that five out of eight cancer types in mice responded to fasting, slowing the growth and spread of tumors. A USC news release reports that the combination of fasting cycles plus chemotherapy was either more or much more effective than chemo alone. Multiple cycles of fasting combined with chemotherapy cured 20 percent of mice with a highly aggressive type of children’s neuroendocrine cancer that had spread throughout the organism and 40 percent of mice with a more limited spread of the same cancer. In mice, the study, published in Science Translational Medicine, found that fasting cycles without chemotherapy could slow the growth of breast cancer, melanoma, glioma and human neuroblastoma. In several cases, the fasting cycles were as [...]
