I like to hear your story about fasting, fasting mimicking and Cancer

In 2023 I participated in a study that is looking at the effect a fast mimicking product had on Crohn's disease. Because of that study I started reading about the health benefits of extended fasting. Twelve months after participating in that study I was diagnosed with cancer and was advised to have chemotherapy. I choose to fast around my treatments. The research in breast and colon cancer indicated people who fast had fewer side effects. From chemotherapy. In theory fasting may help the chemotherapy be more effective, but we don't know for sure if that yet.

I'm post chemotherapy. I am receiving a targeted treatment for maintenance, but honestly the cancer I have doesn't respond long term to chemotherapy. The prognosis is poor and it doesn't matter if chemotherapy or radiation was given most people have recurrences and don't live very long.

I am all in on alternative therapies. I am staying with natural therapies at this point. Mostly lifestyle changes.

I am going to make fasting for extended periods part of the plan.

I'm interested in a discussion about fasting as a medical treatment. How do you do it. How frequently is it done. What papers have you read on fasting? What are you learning about fasting.?

Thanks for responding
