Does fasting heal some cancers?

[Matthew F]

It would be nice if we had more medical documentation on this or studies.

Some claim to have been healed through this.

The body goes into a different mode when fasting and starts burning more fat than sugar or protein, for instance.

And I wonder whether cancerous cells need more nutrients than normal cells or survive. Perhaps the body's transistion affects the cancerous cells more dramatically than the normal cells, in essence-thus causing them to die off. Another theory would be that healthy/normal cells could survive running on bare minimum, while cancerous cells don't fare as well.

Fasting has been proven to have some health benefits such as extending life, but it would be interesting if more research was done in regards to fasting and cancer and documented or studied closely.

So many peple with cancer out there. Shouldn't be that hard to do and research.
