My Mom was addicted to sugar, table sugar. She ate everything with sugar, in large doses. It was in the 70s, and in 1985 was diagnosed diabetic but no insulin meds needed. She didn't change her diet, maybe with a bit sugar reduction. In 1989 she ended up with a pancreatic cancer. After a major surgery she survived 14 months until Christmas 1990. She did not experience any pain until the last moment when she got into a coma and gone peacefully. Doctor confirmed there's no sugar to her brain because the cancer sucked it all up and that induced coma. She supposed to be a very healthy person being very active and sporty all her life, except the way of her eating ( bad diet) led to major health problem and failed her. I believe having a sporty active lifestyle helped to keep her going painless during the 14 months surviving the disease. Learning from my Mom mistake, I practice a healthy living, eating properly as I age (70), keeping active with daily long walk, swimming 50 laps everyday, hiking all weekend and intermittent fasting 16 - 20 hours daily, and a good sleeping routine. That help me tremendously into aging process.

62years. Do intermittent fasting. Eating way more red meat avocado eggs olives cheese yoghurt. Almost no greens and carbs. Never felt better except than in my 20s. I heal amazing. Lift 50-100% higher weights. On the soccer pitch, I have picked up speed and start off power. Energy is high and level. Sleep like the dead. Calmer. Satisfied. Thinking clear. No crashing hangries. Gum inflamation is gone. Bowels are now fabulous! Ketosis and autophagy is the way to go. Stay away from sugar in all its forms. Hard though. It was a habit.

[@Bujji0423]

T2 diabetic since over 10 years. I've been intermittent fasting 16/8 and quit refined carbs in the beginning of November. Lost 20 pounds. My resting blood sugar has gone down to 5.4---really really ecstatic. If I can keep up these numbers, my T2D might be in remission.

[@LTPottenger]

The benefits of fasting for cancer and t2 diabetes is truly astounding! Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting. Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time. Fasting increases nitric oxide release. Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy. Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers, but some patients may need continued acid reducation medication while fasting. Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' that is not supposed to be there. Reflexes and short term memory are increased. Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release! After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer. Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue! The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting. Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Some viruses activate glycolosis (the release of sugar in the body) and clinically it has been shown that decreasing glucose metabolism in the body weakens the influenza virus. When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell which are used to produce organelles and proteins. This means the mechanisms needed by viruses to replicate are by and large unavailable when you are in a deeply fasted state. What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting. Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building. Fasts of 36-96 will not affect short term female fertility or affect menstrual cycle. They also may increase long term fertility, especially in women with PCOS. The hormone Leptin is an immunomodulator that keeps the body from attacking itself and obesity causes leptin resistance. Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance and leptin levels and one day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again! Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No, except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose. Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency and thereby making cells better able to fight off infection. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism and cancer prevention! Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical regulator of BDNF production is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer. A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs. Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia. Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

@@jegsthewegs Egyptians ate a diet of mostly bread, processed junk food. Obviously as I said already you can't take diabetes meds while fasting. If you fast more than 24 h and are on meds you need to talk to your dr about stopping them but drs still fast people all the time for tests. There is also fasting mimicking diet for people who can't stop meds, like psych meds.

I’m currently doing 16/8 fasting and eating a plant based diet. Fasting gives your body time to use the fat you already have in your body if you’re not putting more wrong food in your body to be stored as fat. If your body can’t use it, it will be stored as fats. This is my understanding after listening to many Doctors. It’s working good for me so far.

In about 6 months my weight went down to 198 lbs, my A1C went down to 5.4, and my blood preasure went to 116 over 60 to low. Fasting worked for me. I also can eat any thing i want in proportion.

Thank you for having Jason Fung on! He has been a big part of my journey. I never had pre diabetic blood values but I started to feel worse every decade of my life. I was hypothyroid (Hashimotos) and had been vegetarian 32 years- vegan 25 of those). I was a very “healthy” vegan who followed Dr. McDougall and Dr. Fuhrman closely. I love vegetables. But I was overweight and sometimes obese from age 4 on despite winning all kinds of athletic awards and staying incredibly active. My depression worsened every year with no real explanation… by all accounts I was a happy person but would collapse for long periods and think about ending my misery. I took antidepressants in my 20’s for a little over a year but hated how they made me feel. Then I watched almost every person in my life and WAY TOO MANY children be medicated this way and never get better. I also had very difficult menstruation my entire life. Everything RESOLVED when I started adding my own chickens’ eggs, later fish, did the GAPS protocol and now raise my own meat on a small farm. Everything resolved that is except I found out I have triple positive breast cancer. I was shocked. I felt the best I’ve felt my entire life!!! I also do have many residual and annoying symptoms from Bells Palsy in 2013, but I can’t seem to fix that🤷🏽‍♀️With a lot of help from KZbin, Professor Thomas Seyfried and my wonderful oncologist, Dr. Dawn Lemanne. I’m attempting metabolic treatment of my cancer working with Paleomedicina. My mom, my dad, my sister and I have all gotten cancer so far. Before this in our family we have no record of cancer!! I was the only vegetarian in the family but we all ate very high carbohydrate diets. Both of my parents had parents who were seriously affected by alcoholism. I’ve heard that children of alcoholics can be sugar-addicted. Slowly we try to unwind the puzzle. But I have so much gratitude for Jason Fung and have purchased and read all his books. I’ve fasted and fasted intermittently and very prolonged and know this helped me keep insulin low and be able to digest fat and meat. Who knows what else. This is so interesting about insulin.. wow. Thanks so very much!!!

I also make my own yogurt, kefirs, etc.

[@zakyfarid]

So why you get cancer?

[@TheCompleteGuitarist]

My lay person's take on what is insulin resistance is that it is a natural mechanism designed to maximize carbohydrate uptake and fat storage at times when carbohydrates were abundant to store up energy for times when foods were not abundant. Think about how animals get fat in the fall/autumn eating all the available fruit before winter kicks in. Think bears.

[@GraceDollesin]

Yup! This, I understand. 😊

[@christopherstarr8463]

Bears burn up glucose using their muscles unless they raid the bin for leftovers of the Standard American Diet (SAD). As Luigi Fontana pointed out, three days is a long time in the life of a mouse. We probably live longer because of Hyaluronic Acid (HA) but why do we pee out so much water at the beginning of a fast? Dr Berg has said that Ramadan is the reason that the Middle East shows 25% of our rates of cancer despite having a very sweet tooth. So I think you need to "know what you are doing" with this fasting business!

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 📈 *Hyperinsulinemia, associated with obesity and type 2 diabetes, fuels growth in diseases like breast cancer due to insulin sensitivity, promoting cancer cell growth over normal cell growth.* 01:20 🕒 *Different durations of intermittent fasting, from 16-18 hours to longer fasts of 24-36 hours, can effectively reduce cancer risk and aid weight loss.* 02:37 📚 *Cancer development is multifaceted, influenced by metabolic aspects beyond fasting, requiring a comprehensive understanding beyond simple metabolic disease models.* 03:33 🏥 *Hyperinsulinemia, a well-established risk factor for various diseases, including obesity-associated cancers, emphasizes the potential of fasting to mitigate such risks.* 04:51 🩸 *Insulin's impact on cancer risk involves complex mechanisms, not solely linked to glucose levels, challenging traditional notions of insulin resistance as a singular cause.* 06:41 📉 *Increased insulin aggravates type 2 diabetes, leading to weight gain and worsening diabetes, highlighting the counterproductive nature of treating it with more insulin.* 08:07 🔍 *Insulin resistance might not solely be an underfill issue but potentially an overflow problem, where high insulin levels cause glucose buildup, contributing to diabetes and fatty liver.* 10:58 🧠 *The prevalent idea of insulin resistance might not align with clinical observations, suggesting an overflow issue, emphasizing the need to lower insulin for type 2 diabetes reversal.* 13:44 💡 *Insulin, a growth factor, is crucial for linking growth and nutrition; lowering insulin levels may reduce the risk of cancer, supported by findings in populations with low insulin levels being virtually immune to cancer.* 15:30 🌱 *Cancer cells, highly sensitive to insulin, possess numerous insulin receptors, relying on insulin for glucose intake, indicating the potential influence of hyperinsulinemia in promoting cancer growth.* 17:22 🛡️ *Lowering insulin levels might help reduce the risk of cancer; understanding the relationship between hyperinsulinemia and cancer growth suggests strategies to keep insulin levels low for risk reduction.* 18:15 🌍 *Environmental factors, particularly dietary patterns rich in refined grains and sugar, can significantly impact cancer rates, as observed in populations shifting from traditional diets to Westernized eating habits.* 21:32 🧬 *Environment plays a pivotal role in cancer development, with modifiable factors, including diet, exerting significant influence, emphasizing the impact of lifestyle on cancer risk.* 22:00 🧬 *Insulin's role: It's not just sugar, but the insulin regulating sugar, a growth factor, that plays a significant role in cancer development by promoting unregulated cell growth.* 22:30 🌱 *Nutrient sensors and growth: Nutrient factors act as growth factors; an increase in these factors stimulates cell growth, a condition advantageous for cancer development.* 23:20 🧬 *Misconception about cancer: Despite genetic mutations being present, cancer is primarily an environmental disease rather than solely genetic, but many still focus on genetic mutations.* 24:17 🎯 *Paradigm shifts in cancer treatment: From considering cancer as a disease of excessive cell growth to understanding the importance of mutated genes in causing abnormal growth, leading to more targeted treatments.* 26:13 🧬 *Human Genome Project and cancer: The assumption that identifying genetic mutations would cure cancer was proven wrong; multiple mutations were found in cancers, making treatments aimed at fixing specific mutations challenging.* 27:37 🧬 *Misconception about cancer mutations: The theory of cancer caused by random mutations was challenged as cancers with completely different mutations looked pathologically similar, suggesting a more structured development process.* 29:23 🧩 *Complexity of cancer mutations: Cancer isn't simply a result of a few mutations; the number of mutations found in cancers was significantly higher, making it challenging to target treatments effectively.* 31:17 🎯 *Shifting theories: The idea of cancer caused by random mutations declined as evidence suggested a more structured and targeted development process, challenging the somatic mutation theory's effectiveness in developing impactful treatments.- **22:00** 🍭 Insulin's role in cancer: Insulin's regulation of sugar, acting as a growth factor, is more implicated in cancer development than just sugar intake itself.* 22:30 🌱 *Nutrient sensors and cell growth: Increased nutrient factors, acting as growth factors, promote cell growth, which can contribute to the development of cancer.* 23:20 🧬 *Paradigms of cancer: Understanding cancer has evolved from a growth disease to genetic mutations and, currently, to considering the environment's role.* 24:45 🧪 *Evolution of cancer treatments: Historical cancer treatments shifted from killing growing cells to targeting genetic mutations, aiming to correct the underlying genetic issues rather than just killing the cells.* 27:12 🎲 *Complexity of mutations: Contrary to earlier theories, cancer isn't just caused by a few mutations; patients often have numerous mutations, making targeted treatments challenging.* 28:27 🌍 *Environmental and genetic consistency: Cancers, despite occurring in different individuals with distinct genetic backgrounds and environments, can appear pathologically identical, challenging the theory of random mutations.* 29:23 🧬 *Multiple mutations in cancer: Cancer development involves hundreds of mutations, challenging the notion that a few mutations cause the disease.* 30:48 🧩 *Limitations of genetic theories: Genetic mutation theories couldn't address the multitude of mutations and complexities involved in treating cancer effectively.* 31:24 🔥 *Decline of somatic mutation theory: The concept that cancer arises from a few random mutations lost credibility due to the lack of substantial treatment breakthroughs.*

In these videos it’s often discussed cases of overweight or obese people who often eat too much sugar in its different forms and/or have insulin resistance or some medical Issues. I’m about to watch this video, and I think it will be no different to the others I have watched. My question is: How about those women who have a healthy diet in terms of carbs, protein, healthy fats, fibre, vitamins etc, who work out 3-4 hrs a week, who are slim with apparently no medical issue whatsoever, (good cholesterol levels, no insulin resistance, normal blood glucose etc), but who still get breast cancer. Why is that? Any thoughts?

[@TargetCancer]

There are also somatic and inhered mutations that can occur and cause cancer.

[@alessia_traversa]

@@TargetCancer Hi and thank you for your response. Yes, I am aware of those but I thought they were rare, and therefore unlikely that all those who are healthy and slim have those mutations, if they get cancer. I wish to see videos which discuss this minority of the population who also get illnesses. Thank you

IODINE DEFICIENCY Hi, I know a probable factor may be deficiency in Iodine. A common myth is that iodine is only important for the thyroid to produce T4 and T3. Every cell in the body has a transporter for iodine and every cell needs it. You can make a picture of organs in the body using radioactive labeled iodine to see where it's concentrations are highest and you'll learn that it IS high in the thyroid, but also in other organs like breast, ovaries, prostate. (Search "Curious About Iodine, Part 2: Beyond the Thyroid") A lack of iodine can lead to cystic fibrosis and increase chances for breast cancer. You can find medical doctor Brownstein, who has loads of info on the subject on KZbin and elsewhere. And to end this all up, a referral to an article: ________________________________ Serum Iodine and Breast Cancer Risk: A Prospective Nested Case-Control Study Stratified for Selenium Levels Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev (2020) 29 (7): 1335-1340. Abstract Background: Iodine has been suggested to protect against breast cancer, but there are no epidemiologic studies on individual risk. An interesting finding is that in areas where the exposure to both selenium and iodine are high (e.g., Japan), the risk of breast cancer is lower than in areas where selenium is high and iodine low (e.g., United States), or in areas where both are low (e.g., Northern Europe). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between prediagnostic serum iodine levels and subsequent breast cancer risk, and to investigate if this potential association was modified by selenium levels. Methods: The Malmö Diet and Cancer Study provided prediagnostic serum samples and the current analysis included 1,159 breast cancer cases and 1,136 controls. Levels of baseline serum iodine and selenium were analyzed. A logistic regression analysis yielded ORs with 95% confidence intervals adjusted for potential confounders. Results: There was no evidence of an overall association between iodine levels and risk of breast cancer. Among women with high selenium levels (above the median), high iodine levels were associated with a lower risk of breast cancer; the OR for above versus below the median was 0.75 (0.57-0.99). The corresponding OR for women with low selenium was 1.15 (0.87-1.50), and the Pinteraction was 0.06. Conclusions: The combination of high serum iodine levels and high selenium levels was associated with a lower risk of breast cancer. Impact: A high iodine and selenium exposure may decrease the risk of breast cancer. ______________________(( Prostate cancer has been found in my family and I take some precautions. Vitamins D3 (5000 IU daily) and K2 (at least 100 micrograms per day,) , Magnesium Iodine Lugols solution 2%, (1 drop = 1 mg daily) One or two Brazil nuts daily for selenium. Please note, that this is what I do, and not medical advice :)

My anti-aging doctor is now able to test our bodies (via urine collection) for toxins-glyphosate, lead, mercury, chlorine, fluoride, etc.-hundreds of compounds. For decades these toxins could be removed by chelation-slowly after many treatments. And that is still available. But there is a new and much more efficient method of removing these toxins, some of which may contribute to cancer. This method is called plasma exchange. Not cheap (neither is chelation), it must be paid for out of pocket. And if you pay to have pesticides removed from your body, you won’t be in a hurry to eat any non-organic produce! The likelihood is that anyone who lives in an urban area has a lot of toxins, but of course, you can get them in an agricultural environment as well-or a mining environment, etc. This has been available for decades, but not widely known or widely available. My husband and I are awaiting the results of our urine tests, and we certainly will schedule the plasma exchange treatments, because living near Chicago and O’Hare is a situation rife with toxins.

my reactive hypoglycemia seems caused by my past history of eating sugary treats, so my body used to secrete high insulin to be able to digest it all... now im doing low-carb, the insulin needs to adjust as well, hopefully i can reverse this insulin problem in a couple of months n keep up the low-carb lifestyle. I track my daily added sugar, overall acceptable level, n fast. The good sign of progress so far is i dont feel craving anymore when i see my fave baked goods (pastries, bread) because i see it not as normalcy, but like junk food.

You are what you eat. Your diet impacts your health. Lower stress, reduce obesity and more exercise are key to a healthy life. Obesity in children and adults is rising across the world. Fast food and sugary drinks are contributing to the problem of poor health and obesity. Eat a healthy plant based diet and exercise regularly. Reduce or ELIMINATE cows milk, eggs, cheese and meat. Eat more salad greens, beans, fruit and vegetables. Eliminate fast food, snacks like cookies, cakes, chips, and sugary drinks and juices. Every adult and child should own a bicycle and ride it regularly. Regular exercise will help you sleep better. Yoga is a great stress reducer. Obesity is all too common today. Get off the couch. Get off the phone, ipad or video game. A variety of stretching and other exercises help with increased mobility. Ride to work, ride to school, ride for fun. Every city should be a bicycle city. Speak up for bicycles in your community

Wondering, if a person with Type 1 Diabetes is immune against Cancer?

[@pawnslinger1]

I have bladder cancer and I have been taking metformin for years for my type II diabetes.... I have had a TUBTR.... I have been on a keto diet for several months and have reached OMAD (one meal per day). I just finished a 48 hour fast and plan to do that 3 times per moth and I hope to do a 5 day or longer fast once per month. All of my doctors want me to keep taking my metformin, even though my last blood work showed my glucose levels and A1C were absolutely normal.... fasting glucose was 95 (hoping to get it even lower) and A1C was around 5 (I don't recall the exact number). So my question is this.... is the metformin raising my insulin levels? And thus acting as a encouragement to the cancer to recur? I am worried because the recurrence of bladder cancer seems quite high. And the metformin seems increasingly unneeded as long as I stay on a healthy diet, fasting as much as I can.... My primary care already has cut my metformin by half after my last blood test, but I wonder if it is not causing more problems than it solves??

[@TargetCancer]

Thank you for your comment. That's something you'll need to discuss with your doctor.

[@pawnslinger1]

@@TargetCancer Yes, I know.... I have. But you missed my question, which I am having a hard time finding an answer to.... DOES METFORMIN RAISE INSULIN LEVELS OR NOT??? What I do with the answer to that question is a matter between myself and my doctor. I tried Googling to find an answer, but there is no clear-cut answer I could find. I have been taking metformin for more than 20 years and no one seems to know if it raises insulin levels. I don't even think my doctor knows what my insulin levels are!!! It certainly is not on the blood work reports that I receive.... they all concentrate on glucose levels alone. Which is exactly what your guest was getting at. The standard of care for type II diabetes is to pour more insulin on the problem.

[@TargetCancer]

We are the social team of Target: Cancer Podcast and cannot clarify that question. You'll need to contact a doctor for that clarification, or you may try to contact Dr. Fung. He has a KZbin channel.

[@youareIndenial981]

Thank you, Dr. Fung.

[@myroseaccount]

Please help I have just been diagnosed with Type 2. And prescribed Metformin and a statin. I understand that metformin makes body more sensitive to insulin. Is this so that the body can PUSH more glucose into the cells? But as Mr Fung notes, the cells cannot absorb anymore so the increased insulin sensitivity is causing more fat in the liver which is then unloaded into the blood stream as Triglycerides leading to metabolic sydrome whilst more insulin sensitivity leads to the problem being exacerbated. In other words I would be better off not taking the Metformin and instead addressing diet, exercise alongside intermittent fasting?

Since ive been thin all my life, and have high glucose and high a1c. And have taken amaryl and metformin for 15 + years, so is my pancreas damaged? Do i need insulin now

[@philipjanicki68]

From my understanding high blood sugar is a symptom of insulin resistance. Therefore you need to pay more attention to your insulin level. Metformin is great at reducing your blood sugar but if your insulin level remains high so does your insulin resistance.Fasting and reducing your sugar and carb intake will allow your insulin levels to drop. Your blood sugar levels will also drop because your no longer eating the type of food that causes a spike in insulin. But you must be careful while still using Metformin, as this can drop your blood sugar level too low while fasting. You need to keep a close eye on on your blood sugar levels while you are fasting and reducing carbs. As your blood sugar levels drops due to fasting you should be able to start reducing the amount off medication you need. My blood sugar levels without metformin were around 20mmol/l and around 10 to12 with Metformin. My doctor was about to to start giving me insulin. i decided to not go that way and instead started fasting and change my diet and doing some exercise. My current blood sugar level is around 6 to 8 without Metformin and continues to slowly reduce. I have only been doing this for around 6 weeks but am happy with the improvement so far. As far as your Pancreas is concerned i am not a doctor and cant really comment on that. But it wouldn't hurt to give it a rest. Fasting and low carb.

If we look at red meat consumption, it doesn't correlate. If we look at saturated fat consumption, it doesn't correlate, so we can rule those out. Ah, but what about seed oils?!?!
