SLAM the Brakes on Breast Cancer [Naturally!]
Dear Reader,
Recently, actress Kelly Preston, John Travolta’s wife, died at the age of 57 from breast cancer.
While mainstream medicine will tout a 99 percent 5–year survival rate for women with breast cancer, that is a lie.
What they really mean is: only the women who have highly localized disease see these good results.
Whereas women with a cancer that has spread, have a 27 percent chance of living 5 years.
What’s worse? Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women (only lung cancer kills more women each year).
Clearly there is room for improvement… and fortunately there is a way to slam the brakes on breast cancer, even alongside conventional mainstream treatments.
A recent University of Southern California team of scientists found that fasting can dramatically help reduce breast cancer – even in women taking traditional chemotherapy.
The team, which published their paper in the journal Science Daily, found that fasting reduces blood insulin and insulin–like growth factor and leptin.
All of those factors can affect breast cancer survival, but insulin-like growth factor is the MOST important. And that’s because it can really stoke the cancer into growing faster.
The study team used a fasting mimicking diet, which is typically a high-fat, low-calorie intermittent fasting diet (one where the time you eat during the day is limited to typically under 8 hours).
This kind of diet promotes fat loss and reduces blood sugar, inflammation, and cholesterol.
The drop in blood insulin and insulin–like growth factor and leptin seem to really help in hormone responsive breast cancers. And approximately 80 percent of all breast cancers express estrogen and/or progesterone receptors.
The study team looked at a fasting mimicking diet together with endocrine therapy for breast cancer and they found it shrunk the tumors and also reversed resistant tumors!
Some patients followed the fasting-mimicking diet for almost two years without any problems.
Hence, a fasting or modified fasting is a great nontoxic solution to add to your cancer battle plan.
