hey guys today we’re going to talk about

how to fight cancer with

intermittent fasting cancer is very very

scary

and it’s always better to try to prevent

it than to wait till you get it

and then try to backtrack cancer in

certain countries

is the number two cause of death okay so

the statistics aren’t too good so the

odds are not in your favor

the chances of getting cancer are pretty

high i found this very interesting

article i put a link down below

the contribution of chemotherapy so when

you do chemotherapy

your five year survival in adults is

only

2.1 percent that’s like insignificant

well radiation has a carcinogenic effect

it can trigger

more cancer and create mutations now

let’s look at a normal cell and a cancer

cell and

the differences so in a normal cell you

have something called apoptosis

apoptosis is where the cell commits

suicide

okay so it has certain programs if the

cell is damaged

it kills itself and that protects you

because anytime you have an

alteration in genes it can create a bad

effect

so apoptosis is a really good thing to

keep the body in check

and preventing alterations in genetics

from

things that are carcinogenic okay

now with a cancer cell you lose this

apoptosis effect

cancer cells just don’t die they keep

living and they take over in other words

if there’s certain mutation or

alteration in the cell

your body is not able to clean that up

and get rid of that

so the cells just take over and they

start multiplying rapidly

what happens with cancer cells is you

first get a damage within the

mitochondria

okay through some type of trigger some

type of uh

carcinogen whether it’s smoking

radiation

viruses chemicals poisons and the list

goes on and on

and then as a way of adapting to this

damage your mitochondria

alters its metabolism it starts to

shift to something called fermentation

okay it’s a different

ancient metabolic pathway

and that’s a key difference between a

normal cell

and a cancer cell it basically ferments

glucose okay so

cancer lives on glucose and it can live

on

glutamine which is an amino acid which

i’ll get to in a second

if you do a pet scan to to look for

cancer what you’re looking at is you’re

looking for areas of your body that are

eating a lot of sugar so cancer cells

basically are sugar addicts

now it would make sense to say well i’m

just going to go on a ketogenic plan

that should be enough right i’ll just

cut down my carbs

i’ll be fine but what about this other

food for cancer cells glutamine

the problem with glutamine it’s in

almost all foods

so it’s really really hard to avoid okay

so yes ketogenic diet can help you with

cancer

but what about this well this is why

i recommend doing fasting or

intermittent fasting

some very interesting things happen when

you fast

you have this genetic shift okay

in certain genes that starts causing

this

protection effect and repair effect

so let me cover the things that can

happen when you fast

you get a decrease in oxidative damage

in other words

there’s less free radical damage

occurring

when you fast your body can protect

against that

it can resist that type of stress you

also get more protection with the dna

and you have less dna damage and then

there are also enzymes

that help you detoxify the carcinogens

itself

there have been numerous studies to show

that fasting helps

shrink tumors okay and also improve

something called angiogenesis which is

basically

creating new blood vessels for the tumor

itself

fasting decreases inflammation and

what’s unique about this

is that cancer cells seem to follow and

spread in areas

of inflammation like old injuries and

trauma so let’s say for example you go

on chemotherapy okay and you do fasting

at the same time

fasting can help protect the healthy

cells

against the chemotherapy so you have

less nauseousness

less hair loss less digestive problems

like diarrhea

vomiting etc and the really cool thing

is you are actually

starving the cancer cell of both

glutamine to certain

certain degree when you’re not eating

and glucose at the same time

okay because it’s only the normal cells

that can live on ketones

not the cancer cells so why wouldn’t

someone with cancer

or that wants to prevent cancer not do

fasting

and the ketogenic diet it’s i have no

idea and one last thing i interviewed dr

seyfried which you’ve got to check out

this interview this guy

is an excellent researcher that’s been

researching cancer

for decades and one thing he mentions

that if you even do a yearly fast

of seven days you can greatly reduce

your risk of cancer

i recommend doing periodic prolonged

fasting

and regular intermittent fasting okay

and i’ll put some links down below for

that

so whether you want to prevent cancer or

you have cancer and you want to do

something about it

uh definitely start doing this

immediately thanks for watching

hey guys real quick i have a new healthy

keto eating plan for you

just go to dr berg.com it’s right on the
