Fasting before chemotherapy
06:41 - 13:43 (07:02)
Fasting prior to chemotherapy and radiation may increase the susceptibility of cancer cells, while increasing the resilience of normal cells, leading to a more effective treatment and decrease in side effects. Compliance with a standard five-day fast is relatively low, but a fasting mimetic diet (FMD) may provide similar benefits.

Summary
Fasting before chemotherapy has the potential to increase the resilience of normal cells while increasing the weakness of cancer cells and decrease commonly experienced side effects as shown in experiments with rats. The compliance of a standard five day fast is low so people are exploring Fasting mimetic diets instead.

Mike experienced the benefits of fasting during his chemotherapy treatment, as fasting deprives cancer cells of nutrients which makes them more susceptible to the chemotherapy treatment, making it more effective. This protocol is being extended to potentially prevent cancer from forming in the first place.
