Study Conducted by USC's Norris Cancer Center

Key findings:
-
Fasting sensitizes cancer cells, but not normal cells, to toxins (including chemotherapy drugs)
-
Fasting reduces insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels, where IGF-1 inhibits apoptosis and protects cancer cells from chemotherapy
-
Fasting retards tumor growth, and two cycles of fasting have been shown to be just as or more effective than two cycles of chemotherapy,
-
In a model of metastasis, fasting alone was 50% more effective than chemotherapy, and the combination of chemotherapy and fasting reduced the incidence of metastasis by 75%
-
Cancer cells are unable to adapt to the extreme metabolic environment (sharp reduction in glucose and growth factors) caused by fasting, leading to DNA damage and cell death of these cancer cells, while normal cells are able to quickly adapt to this extreme environment, specifically, by using alternative sources of fuel, such as fatty acids and ketones, which are sharply elevated during conditions of fasting
-
This study concluded that multiple cycles of fasting could potentially replace certain chemotherapy drugs in the treatment of various cancers.
—
-
Fasting triggers ketosis
-
More than 90% of cancer cell-types are only able to utilize glucose as fuel and "starve" to death under conditions of ketosis
-
Fasting triggers autophagy
-
Autophagy directly destroys cancerous cells, including ones that can utilize ketones as fuel, while simultaneously protecting normal cells
-
A 72 hour fast completely regenerates the entire immune system
-
Longer fasts produce more profound levels of autophagy and can destroy even metastatic tumors
-
Fasting directly spares muscle via the "growth hormone starvation response" so long as visceral and subcutaneous adipose tissue is available for use as fuel
