Description

From renowned scientist Dr. Valter Longo, bestselling author of The Longevity Diet, comes a groundbreaking guide exploring how fasting and advanced nutritional technologies are transforming the way we prevent and treat cancer.

Despite enormous scientific progress in medicine, nearly half of all Americans will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. In Fasting Cancer, Dr. Longo shares decades of intensive research into fasting-based nutrition and specialized dietary interventions, showing how these strategies uniquely target cancerous cells. His studies reveal that implementing fasting practices, such as the fasting-mimicking diet, can sensitize tumor cells to conventional cancer treatments, enhancing their effectiveness while simultaneously protecting healthy cells and reducing treatment toxicity.

Dr. Longo proposes a revolutionary approach where patients actively participate in their own recovery by harnessing the body’s natural defenses against cancer. He also provides guidance on incorporating the Longevity Diet as well as a plant-based ketogenic diet to further support traditional cancer treatments.

Filled with compelling patient stories, clinical insights, and rigorous scientific data, Fasting Cancer is an essential read for doctors, healthcare providers, cancer patients, and their loved ones. By clearly explaining these groundbreaking possibilities, the book empowers readers to embrace this innovative approach and realize its potential to complement and enhance mainstream cancer therapies.
