Fasting for improved health
Hi everyone, im new here and have a fairly recent stage 4 bc diagnosis. I’ve heard 72-hour water only fasts can be efficient to kill tumor cells and help protect your healthy cells from chemo. ...
@arpie Hi and thanks for the warm welcome!
To answer your query, I had surgery in 2016 when I was stage 3 bc. Which cleared with all the treatment (chemo, surg, radio). Recent diagnosis in Oct was stage 4 mbc in lymph and lungs.
My boyfriend recommends the 72 hour fast, he has done a few (up to 5 days) and seen great improvements in health. However he’s not a chronically ill female undergoing weekly chemo (targeted & non-target) while working almost full time so I’m not sure it’s appropriate for me to do this. Any advice is appreciated, thanks :)
