In short: listen to your body. Do what feels good. When you have lost your appetite, don’t eat. Urging people to eat something, when they are ill, and don’t want to, is not helpful. I sometimes suspect the same is true about urging people to drink more water. Maybe we should just drink when we’re thirsty, and eat when we’re hungry.
I glad that Dr. Greger is finally coming around the the importance of fasting for cancer inhibition/obstruction. He was the only major TH-cam alternative health Doc who didn't put fasting front and center as a tool against cancer until now.
Hospitals and schools should be places where good nutrition is taught and provided . It is crazy the hospitals are feeding people the very food that caused the heart disease, high blood pressure or cancer that they are treating. Every person in the hospital should receive some nutrition education before being released. Every doctor visit should be an opportunity to educate patients about how food choices impacts their health outcomes. The fact that doctors do not get nutrition training as part of their training makes no sense. Medicare and Medicaid should require nutrition education as part of patient care.
Nutritional training is contraindicated if the objective is to make a living off of a large patient base. It would be like an illegal drug dealer advising his customers to check in at a drug rehabilitation center.
You'd think they'd look at their Hippocratic Oath they took to do no harm, because they're literally killing people off by the millions. Doctor's are taught how to keep you coming back, not how to fix you so you never have to come back.
I am 51 and gained so much weight during the last few years i train lift weights etc, i started fasting 2 weeks ago again and now switching to keto i feel so much better and yes my appetite is gone. Thank you doctor for covering this topic as well.
What do other mammals do when they get sick or injured? They find a quiet, safe place and do...nothing, including not eating. It's how mammals heal. Humans tend to forget that we are animals.
The nutritional supplement drinks such as Ensure contain known carcinogenic ingredients and a macro ratio known to increase the risk of metabolic diseases, diabetes and cancer. Feeding this to patients who are not partaking in hospital food seems almost negligent. They feed the most sick and vulnerable people with harmful processed food or supplement drinks high in sugar, hydrogenated fat, additives, artificial colours and more.
yes, this is absurd.....this Ensure and other garbage should be the LAST thing a cancer patient puts into their body...actually, it should not be put in anyone's body......
@@trevorregay9283 I was forced to have it in hospital and the consultant said it was a shame as it would turn me diabetic due to thr huge blood glucose spikes I experienced after consumption. BUT the consultant said Ensure was all they were allowed to prescribe and supply. Once diabetic, they said they would prescribe insulin to "help".
@@littlevoice_11 my father passed from melanoma and they had him drinking this stuff to help him maintain his weight.....I can't help to think it simply hastened his passing sadly.........
I have been put on TPN purely of sugar, with no protein or carb ratios for 4 months. I got so ill. So they decided to put me on Boost and Ensure and I got even worse. I forced them to stop and I started eating a Whole Foods Plant based diet and my health reversed exponentially. I saved my own life. I still had my serious medical issues, but what the doctors were doing to “treat me” was actually killing me. Blows me away…. 💔 I lost so many years due to medical negligence.
At one point I couldn't swallow for weeks. It got so bad I couldn't even drink water. It turned out to be cancer. So I had been unintentionally fasting before my cancer diagnosis. Then I got my first dose of chemo. I ended up in the hospital for 10 days at which point I was put on TPN. I think it was the lack of nutrition in combination with the chemo that put me in the hospital. I was also severely dehydrated. When the tumor had shrunk enough that I could swallow, I began eating and was taken off of the TPN. A year and a half later, I'm in a stable condition and I do wonder about the benefits of fasting for my situation.
All I will say is that I was put on TPN and got so much sicker afterward- It did not improve my nutritional status, and the doctors neglected to address the actual medical issues at hand- thinking that just addressing the weight would be the solution ! 😢
@@catecurl3790 most definitely. No point in filling a car with the best gas/oil if the mechanics are broken. You can’t expect a car to run if it’s parts are broken and you are not addressing it . It’s like putting air into a tire thinking that it will fix the broken engine🙏🏻♥️
I'm wondering that too, though I doubt there's any studies on it yet. I was not hungry at all while I had Covid and pretty much just ate 1 bowl of plain oats per day for a week. I recovered without serious symptoms but it was still rough.
@@larryc1616 good thing the body stores nutrition. Perhaps some nutrition is less necessary when you are not eating so the body doesn't store that. This assertion is something that you would want to put to the test.
@@thaddeuswalker2728 we can do a randomized study of stage 3 cancer patients. Half gets nutritious foods and half fast. who lives and who dies in a spreadsheet as a percentage can tell us the truth.
@@larryc1616 also defining nutritious food would be important because people won't be satisfied but at least you can put it up against the next competitor. It almost sounds like we are expecting something similar in the next video.
Hi, hope all is well, I have glaucoma and I'm on a topical carbonic anhydrase inhibitor/beta blocker eye drop, which is triggering systemic autoimmune issues, no matter how healthy I'm eating or fasting. Any suggestions? Thank in advance
This whole, "which we will explore, next..." thing is insanely irritating, at least on the TH-cam app, where the "next" video is some other random video.
on a slight tangent, dead bacteria or infected cells and viri are nutrients to some extent so they can be eaten as well its like i dont need food that also feeds the bad guys, but i can eat some of the bad guys and my fat reserves..... it stacks the fight in your favor when the enemy is also food and there starving...
I wonder if getting those calories from whole plant foods would be beneficial. In the case where they tried 4,000 calories but it wasn't enough, I wonder if 4,000 calories of unprocessed plants would do the trick?

What is cancer? What is a tumor? In many cases they are allegedly biofilm from pathogens? Pathogens like sugar in some cases protein or carbohydrates or fat or possibly all the aforementioned depending on the pathogen (ofcourse that can change especially with ineffective antimicrobial progressions), they also absorb minerals like calcium and iron etc. Think soldiers in a castle. Now they put a hostile settlement on your territory, hope this is helping, usually in war there are multi pronged attacks just 1 weapon or cutting off supply chains will NOT do it especially as many pathogens can outlive humans in extreme conditions especially in biofilms (mucus etc). Bruh I just gave u the best 4 min bio class ever
These are great videos with lots of knowledge but DAMN I cannot stand the way he talks. Its like he's struggling to spit out every sentence. Spit it out, no need to dramaticize everything you say.
Here he goes again. Whipping out articles & highlighting them so they contradict eachother. Sure loves to highlight. Reminds me of my sisters 12 yo doin her homework.

Carnivore team and herbivore team are finally have something in common. They agree about fasting 🤣
I believe Dr. Greger did a video a while ago on fasting and showed that a vegan diet mimics the benefits of fasting
@@SureFeelsGood Low protein diets and ketogenic diets are also fast mimicking.

Agreed!
Let the data speak - and he listens
YES IM SO GLAD HE'S FINALLY COVERING THIS!!!!! Thank you Doctor!!!

The losing appetite as part of a body's defense mechanism. It makes total sense but I never thought of it that way.

Big Pharma will not like this video because fasting will take valuable "lifelong customers" away from them🤣
Though I do not always agree with Dr. Greger in terms of where a body should get nutrition, I am totally on board with him on fasting vs cancer.
Thanks! Very timely.

Oh my PROVERBIAL!! What a cliff-hanger!!. . . Dr Michael Greger, you're killing me 🤯😂
Is it okay to fast for Diabetic people?
Thanks. A very informative video.
Thank you for all the information. 👍🏽🙏🏽
Great video!. One question: What about the opposite? Cravings. Is that just the brain wanting stimulation?
Put it to the test.
Such great information.
I can’t find the follow up to this video. The “put it to these test” video. Where can I find it?
What would your opinion be about nutrition during a COVID infection?
I'm wondering that too, though I doubt there's any studies on it yet. I was not hungry at all while I had Covid and pretty much just ate 1 bowl of plain oats per day for a week. I recovered without serious symptoms but it was still rough.
Do you have any helpful information on diet/nutrition when it comes to the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes? I’m really worried about a family member.
A little bit of speciesism there Dr. Greger. It's not OK to do that to sentient mice

Perhaps you need to cut certain things from your diet that is causing an immune response

Results on mice study are crazy
Dry fasting studies in mouse has been known a long time to prevent disease and death from serious carcinogens.
Further validation for promoting autophagy

If the cancer patients didn’t do well by getting more ‘nutrition’ maybe it was the nutrition they were getting that was sub par.
Fasting helps stop supplying biofilm with sugar, protein, fibrin, and calcium making tumors more vulnerable?
...and stopping other minerals? But at the same time limiting nutrition of the host?
@@AnonymousanonymousA perhaps you should see if he has anything on biofilm. I don't recall him bringing up the word.
What about fasting mimicking diet?
I wonder what those 800 calories should consist of, probably just some vegetables and berries

Should cancer patients eat fruits? Sugar concerns
