Fasting also helps me mantain my cool! Some of the many benefits of fasting and a lower carb whole food diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: Thymus stem cells are regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. 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. It's absolutely fine for cortisol to be high while fasting, because it produces sugar from fat instead of lean tissue kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZqodZSar9R4qNU 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! 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. It 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. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Does fasting burn muscle? In most cases no! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpa0epSLa9yjaNE Fasting can make you gain muscle faster: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OwaXqIr9h8f8k Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. 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! Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJamkJp_h5eNZ5Y Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical precursor to BDNF is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow. What breaks a fast? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZK1faZ5pd2sadE Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. 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. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

Great video ! I had a rare micro pappilary bladder cancer ( muscle invasive ) in 2012 & was given 1 year to live if i did not have my bladder & prostate removed . I declined treatment . My wife is a oncology nurse & there were some interesting discussions about that =) I changed my lifestyle to "goose " my body's immune system ( a lot of recent PubMed peer papers on bladder cancer & everything else i could find and applied my own protocol ) and i'm still here to tell the tale ! Keep up the great work . ps - i'm a huge advocate of water fasting ( on day 5 of a min.15 day fast ) and i also learned a lot of technical info. from you about that . God Bless You and keep up the great work !

Happy Father's Day Dr. Fung! I read your book The Cancer Code and it was the most amazing and interesting book I think I've ever read. You thoroughly explained how they've gotten to this current paradigm. I don't have cancer but it gave me hope that I can do things now (and I have!) to lessen my chances of getting it. And it all makes so much sense! You're brilliant and it comforts me knowing that doctors like you are on this! Thanks for all you do! 🙂👍

This is great, I am a Biology teacher and was literally teaching about cancer today. As a cancer survivor myself, I find it really interesting to learn about for my own personal education. A few years ago I read the Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee which in my humble opinion was fascinating and it allows me to elaborate in lesson with 'fun facts' and 'stories' which always makes learning more fun.

Thank you Jason. This is my first post to any forum. I could not resist as it is quite mindblowing (I did see your precursor to this). You are a fantastic communicator and synthesiser of info. We certainly need more doctors like you. I am recovering from stage 4 high grade DLBCL and I am glad to say its looking good. Thanks to you and the few people like you; daring to speak the truth publicly. I thought I was fairly healthy (following a low fat diet) but after my diagnosis I had a lot of time on my hands. So I researched as much as possible about health "truths". I found that I probably had metabolic syndrome. Since then I have focussed on the principle of insulin regulation (I was overweight and insulin resistant). I now feel good, have lost much weight and my blood tests now show good metabolism. I look very different in a good way. Want to keep it 100% positive but have to say that government diet recommendations are patently wrong and counterfactual to the science. The fact that entrenched commercial interests have "captured" governments, regulators, NGOs and science is truly remarkable. Please keep up the good work.

Brilliant man!! Thank you for all you do!

Fantastic video Dr. Fung. This will help spread the knowledge tp people who are not able to read you book (usually due to lack of time). It is a really good complement to the book and helps with understanding the book too.

[@cynthiamccullough3718]

Really, really interesting. A bit mind-blowing, actually. Thank you so much, Dr. Fung.

[@BizOrNot]

Dr. Fung you ROCK! You have an exceptional talent for breaking a complex topic (even for non-medical professionals like me) down to it's relatively-simple core (first-principals) and then building it back up, level by level, until it is no longer quite the complex and mysterious topic it was before. I have followed your videos for quite some time, and in every case, they are like a great movie....so informative, compelling and entertaining that I can't wait to find out where the story leads.....but am also a bit disappointed when it does, because the journey was so enlightening ;-) BTW Any chance you could attempt to "connect the dots" between what you have presented here with autophagy, time-restricted OMD eating, fasting, exercise, proper diet, etc.? I practice these for improved mental & physical health & longevity, as well as to mitigate a family history of cancer. Seems they must be connected. Or is that like asking Einstein for the unified theory? ;-)

[@cherierhynes8514]

There's no such thing as a new cell. Every child comes from the mother. And high insulin during pregnancy can even lead to children being born with t2 diabetes.

Please, Dr. Fung, do some videos on reasons for impaired kidney function, dietary recommendations for different stages of the disease, and the possibility of improving kidney function once a person has chronic kidney disease. Thank you so much for your life changing videos.

[@LTPottenger]

He does talk about it a little already. Carbs and t2 diabetes and acidification are what cause kidney failure in the long term and it is hard to reverse. Lower carbs, fasting, red light therapy and potassium bicarbonate can help restore kidney function but the main idea is to prevent it in the first place.

[@lizt6582]

Thank you.

[@christophergray9227]

Would be interested to hear your thoughts on Dr Thomas Seyfried's approach to starving cancer of the glucose and glutamine it needs via Keto diet plus glutamine blockers. Dr Seyfried's approach of starving the cancer does not rely on expensive treatments. I have also recently seen more regarding the use of 72 hour fasting around chemotherapy dosing. Starting the fast 24 hours prior to the chemo dose slows the body's metabolism, but it does not slow the cancer's metabolism. So the chemo targets the cancer more effectively, significantly reducing the chemo side effects. Fasting for 72 hours keeps the body's metabolism slower, letting the chemo impact the cancer more dramatically.

[@jamescalifornia2964]

- Interesting. Personally, the less carbohydrates in my diet, the better I feel ... 😌👌

[@LTPottenger]

Low carb will help but fasting is even better because it ramps up the immune system, which is the only thing that can truly beat cancer! Some of the many benefits of fasting and a lower carb whole food diet on the immune system, blood pressure, blood sugar and anti-aging, all backed up by clinical data: Thymus stem cells are regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria and viruses by the immune system. Blood pressure is quickly and dramatically lowered, which is very important for a good outcome with the current pandemic. Fasting increases nitric oxide, which has manifold postive effects like reducing arterial plaque. Weight loss from fasting only loses10% lean tissue and 90% fat compared to the typical 25% lean tissue and 75% fat lost when calorically restricting for long periods. Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body. Vitamin D plasma levels are increased, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy! Blood sugar and insulin are lowered, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job. Ideal blood sugar is around 80. 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. It's absolutely fine for cortisol to be high while fasting, because it produces sugar from fat instead of lean tissue kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZqodZSar9R4qNU 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! 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. It 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. AMPK does many helpful things in the body including activating the body's antioxidant defenses. Does fasting burn muscle? In most cases no! kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpa0epSLa9yjaNE Fasting can make you gain muscle faster: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4OwaXqIr9h8f8k Deep ketosis virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body. This can offset the life threatening symptoms of viral pneumonia which effectively kills you through inflammation. This also creates BHB ketones in your body, which also help your immune system and anti-oxidative system, especially in the brain. Ketones also provide an additional energy source during infection, which is critical when trying to fight off a bug. In fact you can have as much as three times the total energy available in your blood when you are in deep ketosis, or even more. 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! Fasts from 36-96 h actually INCREASE metabolic rate! kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJamkJp_h5eNZ5Y Your body releases interferon which is also triggered by the body during viral attacks to shut down the replication ability of the surrounding cells and stop infections. After 72 hours or more fasted, your body actually recycles large numbers of immune bodies and creates new ones, rejuvenating your entire system. When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells. This kills these cells off completely. Senescent cells are responsible for the effects of aging and are the root cause of the development of cancer. If it were possible to destroy them all it would completely stop aging and cancer. That is not possible but fasting can help limit these effects by killing off many of the affected cells and limiting the future effects of aging. Fasting also releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth, helping a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers. In fact, the biochemical precursor to BDNF is beta-hydroxybutyrate, which is the same ketone the body produces to nourish the brain while fasting. Autophagy induced by fasting even helps hair regrow. What breaks a fast? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZK1faZ5pd2sadE Dieters losing weight through intermittent fasting show greater reduction in waist size and increase in insulin sensitivity for the same weight lost and alternate day fasters were shown to lose fat while gaining muscle at the same time over a six month period. Fasting has been shown to increase bone marrow volume by 10% and levels of carnosine in the body in as little as a few weeks. Fasts of several days will not affect short term female fertility and may increase long term fertility especially in women with PCOS. Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level. Eating one meal a day can bring most of these benefits to a lesser degree, and adding a few entire days off from eating per week will have even more effect especially when starting to feel poorly. 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. Those with Addison's disease may also be unable to fast without liberal use of exogenous ketones, depending on severity. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness then simply break the fast and seek advice.

[@cassieoz1702]

That's not the rationale for pre-chemo fasting/keto. The idea is that fat adapted normal cells remain strong during fasting (by burning fat) while low blood glucose should leave cancer cells more vulnerable - then hit them with poison. Also the adjacent normal cells may be more resilient and withstand the poison better. We've already proven that fasting improves the experience of chemo side effects but whether it will improve efficacy will take much longer

[@christophergray9227]

@@cassieoz1702 Sounds like you don't understand the metabolic impact of fasting. How I explained it is exactly the rationale. Normal cell metabolism slows down. Cancer cells have unrestricted growth. Their metabolism does not slow. Chemo is poison. The cells with faster metabolism die faster, making the cancer cells die more quickly during fasting. If you extend your fast beyond 3 days, your cellular metabolism starts to increase. After a 5 day fast, your base metabolic rate increases by 18% on average. Doing a prolonged fast can be beneficial if you want to kill cancer, since fasting also starves cancer of the glucose. The issue that Dr Seyfried brings up is that the metastastic (the cancer that moves throughout your body) mainly uses glutamine as an energy source. It does not matter how low your glucose, metastatic cancers tend to use glutamine for fuel. Which is why you need to take glutamine blockers to starve the cancer, in addition to a restricted keto diet.

[@cassieoz1702]

@@christophergray9227 I'm a human biochemist and understand fasting, metabolism and how cytotoxic drugs work, very well. I was referring to fasting being used as an adjunct to conventional cancer care, not a mainstay of treatment. Dr Seyfried's theoretical basis has many merits but doesn't yet have widespread acceptance for many reasons.

Thank you Dr. Fung. As another commented noted, there's Thomas Seyfried's observations. Well???

[@ssv8364]

Another fact that fits perfectly with that evolutionary paradigm is that cancer is most often seen in tissues where cells divide more. For example, cardiac carcinoma is very rare because fully developed heart cells do not divide. Cells division gives more opportunities to test genetic changes against that chronic sub-lethal damage and to evolve eventually. This video is mind-blowing!

[@ResidualSelfImage]

Connecting the dot Jason Fung is spot on again. Mutations is a feature of life itself and is not necessarily bad. ( it's ironically an example of the computer programming meme: That's not a software bug that's a software feature!) Mutations are required for Natural Selection and Evolution to work. Cancer does not allow cells to die ...cellular autophagy does not work. (when mitophagy does not work cell performance drops) ...Today's the new PD-1 and PD-L1 anti cancer treatment is a monoclonal antibody autophagy biochemical intervention. The reason PD-1/PD-L1 mechanism does not work is because the Thymus Gland Cell/T-cell is not adapted by the Thymus Gland to identify tumor/bad mutation cells as something that would trigger autophagy.

[@michaeldillon3113]

Great talk Dr Fung . You may have covered this in your other talks but I wonder if you might follow this talk up with one that shows how food choices , fasting , stress , exercise etc might influence these various evolutionary stages . Thank you .

[@teresalynnturner781]

The key is to optimize your immune system. It will destroy cancer if it is working at its best. When you weaken or destroy it with smoking or chronic injury or inflammation in your body, your cancer risks increase.

[@carlor.s.4742]

I've listened to two interviews with two French men who literally starved their cancers to death by prolonged fasting. How does that work? Also there is evidence that the fruiting bodies & micellium of certain mushrooms like Turkey Tail, Reishi & Maitake fight cancer. I'd love to see videos from you on both of these ways of potentially treating cancer.

Fantastic video! I need to reread your Cancer Code book and revisit these concepts. If I’m grasping this correctly, where chronic disease is concerned and how it initiates cancer, is it correct to say that… for me personally, as someone with intestinal metaplasia, and the genetic mutation for colorectal cancer… if I consume foods (so for me this would be all grains, leafy greens, cruciferous vegetables, nuts and seeds, root vegetables, refined sugar, processed foods, and seed oils such as margarine, plant butter, corn/canola/soy/safflower/peanut/sunflower, etc) that cause irritation in my digestive system and a state chronic inflammation like bloating, pain, gas, and irritable bowl that this could possibly lead to eventually activating my colorectal cancer gene and initiate cancer??
