His site looks very quack-like.

" Emily lost 100 lbs. and lowered her cholesterol."

lowered her cholesterol after losing 100 lbs ... who would have thought that?
What appears to be a fairly innocuous question has fairly got some folks dander up.
Yeah, she gets an evening off now and again ummmm ;-p
You're too kind, Joe, far too kind :-)

When I first opened this thread I was interested in the opinions, either for or against, of those who have TRIED fasting. If you haven't tried it, haven't researched it and have no interest in it but come along and riddicule those who have and then berate them for having some knowledge on the subject, how do you expect to be taken seriously.

Many of my highly trained, highly skilled medical colleagues who have been prescribing systemic medication for years and nothing else now believe in the power of fasting followed by dietary maintenance. This is because they have kept abreast of extensive research in recent years and actually tried it themselves. And yes, some Oncologists do recommend a 72-hour fast prior to each cycle of chemo. Studies show that when our normal cells shut down and go to sleep in a fasting state, the rogue cancer cells, which stay awake but are weakened or 'starved' by the fast, are hit harder than normal by the chemotherapy drugs and hence a fast intensifies it's efficacy. Where chemotherapy has previously been inefficacious and there has been radiological progression after 3 cycles (we always re-CT after the first 3 cycles to determine response) there are less cases of disease progression on chemo when the patients fasts in preparation for each cycle.

Please don't scoff at documented findings of legitimate medical research which could benefit us all one day.

That is not what you asked though, Nom.
You have scoffed at all my posts in a very condescending manner and yet shown me nothing that makes me think that you may be on to something.

I haven't scoffed at your posts at all, Talbot. I never had you down as the precious and easily offended type.
