Fasting From Cancer: Why When We Eat Might Be Just as Important as What We Eat

Great book and author, I bought another one of his books as well. I love the merging of western medicine with a more natural approach as well. He doesn’t promise a cure, just scientific evidence about foods and nutrients that can help.

Purchased this for my mother when she was diagnosed with cancer. As someone who is familiar with the benefits of fasting, I wanted to get my mom something that would explain not only how to fast for cancer, but why. This book does just that. A good read for anyone who wants to supplement cancer treatment, or just wants to try arms avoid this horrible disease that has no doubt touched us all in since form.

This is a monumental book, along with his other, Cancer Secrets. I've read it through twice, and I have underlined all the great parts in it, and placed bookmarks throughout. This is a must read. 1) It would be helpful to know what sort of better success rates by cancer type his treatments have resulted in. Is Disease Free Survival and Progression Free Survival at all impacted? What changes has he seen in the 5-year survival percentages? 2) Don't expect your oncologist to believe, must less use, in their practice, any of the scientific discoveries you will red about in this book: they only know what they were taught. You won't hear anything about diet, fasting, or exercise (these are your only tools other than being your own advocate). As the author correctly states, progress in medicine happens slowly, made one physician death at a time. 3) The sad depressing truth is that any cancer treatment that will put your cancer in indefinite remission is many, many years away. Why? To find out, beyond what Dr. Stegall has pointed out in this book, is the book Blind Spots by Dr. Makary (https://www.amazon.com/Blind-Spots-Medicine-Wrong-Health/dp/1639735313/). These two doctors have done more for medicine than hundreds before them. If you have been diagnosed with cancer, or if you are a caregiver, you absolutely must read the critical information in these 3 books.

Really good information backed by research!

Great, helpful book with lots of good knowledge about dealing with cancer from an Oncologist in Atlanta who says it very much matters what you eat while battling cancer!
