Some people have erroneously posted on line that I'm "stage four"
I am NOT. It was caught very early and I'm going to be here for a long time.
I posted this video for two reasons:
1) to head off comments telling me I look tired/bad/etc.
2) to get out in front of the lies stalkers will tell.
Hey Paul, it’s none of our business but thank you for letting us know. Most folks here just want to support you, because we appreciate your contribution to the community of firearm enthusiasts.
so glad to hear that you will be ok paul!
It’s unfortunate that you were forced to share so many personal things with us because of some crazy people who peddle misinformation. God be with you.
@jeffpaul8260 I don't think he said he's going to be OK, only that he's going to be here a long time....
Praying for you and yours. Your grace under fire is an inspiration to us all.
I hope you beat your cancer Paul, we’re all rooting for you man.
Amen. Paul has always done good by me. Praying for you boss man
And crazy women are harder to get rid of than cancer.
Prayers out, sir. Semper Fi.
what do you mean you 'hope'? if Paul doesnt I dont know who would
@@gone_baby_gone we should make paul harrel jokes in chuck norris form
Best of luck to you Paul, I know you’re already doing as much as you can.
Based AK guy supporting the bros 👊🏼
Yeah, internet culture can be pretty toxic pretty quick. Horrid to see stuff you'd keep to hushed whispers pre-internet reach millions.
seeing all the people referring to him as Dad tears me up, but yet I can see why they are doing it!
tears as in 😥, not tears as in to pull apart (to be clear)
Amen!!
especially with the diagnosis being as severe as it is. pancreatic cancer is a life stopping event what with the survival rate and life expectancy after finding it.
He looked so much healthier here. Fuck cancer. RIP Paul. Your impact on the 2A community will be felt for ages to come.
I cant believe he's really gone. Fuck cancer. RIP
Dude. Your profile picture is ridiculous. Absolutely not a good look.
This was 2 months befor he recorded his “I’m dead” video. 😢
@@driedbark yea wtf lol?
But he passed away only a few days ago..
It's about 1 year later after this video and the announcement that he has passed was just published. I came here as a way to sort of remember paul as he was and not how he looked moments before death. I think we all deserve dignity in our memory and I'm doing my best to honor his. It's also striking how relatively healthy he looks here, hug and care for the ones you've got because our time is short.
Life’s unfair, unpredictable, and unforgiving. Crazy, huh. 🫤
:(
I wish the outcome a year later was different. He will be missed.
Well said. Revisiting a lot of his videos, the information will always be good but it’s oddly… I don’t know, comforting. Tone, cadence, never treated a weapon like a toy. But funny.
I can’t but wonder what happened that made this lady so damn mad she’s stalking him decades later.

We’ll be sticking around as long as you do.
People will come back for years after he's gone. As long as this account stays up.
I still rewatch some of the older ones.
Decades after frankly, Paul is the greatest. He'll handle it like it's nothing.
I’ll be here too.
@@erickyle5604I also rewatch occasionally. His little chuckle after introducing the 444 Marlin to the meat target always makes me smile.
Don't know you personally, but we need more people like you in the world, Paul.
Paul,
I appreciate your content, skill set and military service.
that is for sure!
AMEN !!!
@@Tallison1911you uhh.....you're replying to another person. You might wanna comment on the MAIN comment section.
No we dont😂
Thanks for everything Paul.
RIP brother
From the crew I will say THANK YOU for all the kind words and support. We will ride this ride as long as Paul allows us to. Again, THANK YOU and here is to many more videos. ❤
Prayers going up
Ive been a lingerer for a while, i just subscribed, Mr.Paul reminds me of my dad, stubborn. Dad beat throat cancer and lived several years cancer free. He passed last fall while deer hunting, he had an aneurysm. We will be hanging in there with Mr. Paul for years to come Im certain
Roy, how do we say 'Good Luck!' to the man who doesn't want to hear it? Please pass on my very best wishes in whatever is the appropriate way. I won't contact him directly but my silence does not mean I don't care.
I will continue to enjoy your content as long as it keeps coming. Jumping ship makes no sense to me.
Was a difficult video to watch and sad news. I wish Paul hadn't gone into details about being tormented by an ex; it gives her a presence (unwanted) when she should be invisible to the public. Wishing Paul, the Harrell family and crew all the best. You've built an amazing channel and loyal viewers. I see this story also popping up on twitter on the past few hours.
"don't jump ship. Don't unsubscribed." Paul, none of us would ever imagine doing so because of your diagnoses. We are here for you Chief.
I'm retired Army Paul......here all the way battle buddy!!!
“I’m getting stalked by an ex from back when we invaded Panama, so I have to let you know I have cancer, don’t worry about it” lol you’re the best Paul, never change
💪Paul is a real one. 🙏
Panama Invasion. Long forgotten by most. I've always wondered what possessed a group of junior officers who should have known better to go out on the town. Things were tense enough even in July 1989 that we weren't allowed to leave Rodman unless it was on the little jitney bus that went back and forth between the bases. Options were to be on a US base, on the jitney in transit between bases, or on the ship.
I'm afraid that Rodman Panama didn't quite make my top ten list of awesome places to go pierside for a week.
My uncle met his wife during the invasion 😊
New Sub here! Binge watching everything. Sticking with you through thick and thin (hair)!
🤗💜🙏🏻
Paul was too good for this world. RIP Paul. Thanks for all the knowledge and entertainment for years.
In a fight between Paul Harrell and cancer, I don't think the cancer stands a chance. Stay safe & stay sharp Mr Harrell.
🙏
Pancreatic cancer has a survival rate of only 12%.
You'll see that's a lie soon enough
@@Digglerdirk79-l4y Wasn't meant to be a lie, it was meant to be words of support.
welp
Paul is the dad we didn't ask for but the dad we needed.. Hang in there Paul! I'll be praying for you Sir!
I see him as the cool uncle
More like the younger Brother that turned out cooler than me.
well said, bogan
@@oz_jonesor my favorite high school teacher.
Much love to you, brother, and thank you for the update. We appreciate you and we're all sticking around, for sure. 👍💚
I’m so glad to see 2 of my favorite non-conservatard pro-gun TH-camrs watch each other.
Rest in Peace Paul. We won't forget you.
All I can say is we love you Paul. You’ve been like a father to alot of us fatherless men
Paul is the badass uncle we all wish we had! What an absolute legend
*grandpa
*father
*brother
Dang! Look at how real quality crosses generational lines.
Best comment ever. Sums up how most of us probably feel.
@@jackmehoff2363he isn't that old lol 😂
I am an RN and I work with people who have had Whipple surgery for pancreatic cancer on a weekly basis.
You have the attitude of a survivor and a logical mindset. In my experience, people like you fare better.
I trust you will find experts that treat your specific problem on a weekly basis.
Godspeed your recovery.
Yes and as a nurse to we all know the prognosis there to. Paul seems like a great man and it pisses me off that he has to deal with this.
My uncle made it 5 years after a whipple. Gave us lots if extra time we didn’t expect. He fought every step of the way.
Guys, I thought Paul said he really didn't want medical advice or sympathy or donations or such. I'm sure he's not such a curmudgeon as to call anyone on it individually. But my middle name is curmudgeon.
@@ammoalamo6485 there was no advice it, and an anecdote , are you not a good reader ?
Attitude does a lot for health in general. Ever see those kinds of people who end up living well past a hundred? They're typically all people who really enjoy living life, bitter and miserable people who aren't happy and who don't enjoy anything don't really get themselves there.

A tribute to a worthy man who has entertained and educated us for years. Thank you sir!
Cool story bro, nobody cares work hard.

Aw man that sucks, F Cancer, we’re all here rooting for you ❤
“I most certainly do not need any advice on the healing powers of crystals or green tea.”
Jesus I had forgotten how much I respect this man. Words to live by right there.
I dunno. Crystals CAN make you happy.
In my younger years I discovered that spending a few hours spent digging, scrubbing, and polishing resulted in chunks of quartz that people would pay absurd amounts of money for.
Collecting said absurd amounts of money consistently gave me feelings of happiness and general well being.
Crystals DO work!
@@kevincrosby1760Capitalism* does work!
Certain teas and tinctures do reduce inflammation. He likely already know that, being a wilderness man.
Hmmmm...maybe "green crystal tea" might work??!! 😜
@@TJ-bg4fw if you gonna bring politics in here you'll turn this into a pointless discussion and Paul would certainly give both of us a angry look for being so annoying in his comment section
I feel that anyone who would “jump ship” and abandon you for health reasons is a substandard human being. I look forward to watching your videos for years to come sir. 🇺🇸
It's funny how sometimes the trash takes itself out, i say let it happen, i'll be around until this platform finally implodes.
@@GashimahironChlMe too ✋
Coming from a sick fella, you'd be shocked.
I'd say damn near everyone...

Thank you for everyrhing. Paul. Rest in peace Warrior
May your poptarts forever be sweet Mr Harrell
As a salute I will now eat my blueberry pop-tart and a fresh cup of 100% Columbian coffee.
Gay, but hilarious!
Amen
This goes hard.
Paul do what is best for YOU! We will be here supporting you.
I just found this channel today. Wish I could have been around when he was still with us. RIP
A man's health is his business. Prayers from my family. Keep on keeping on.
On a side note, as a personal trainer, i always found it inspiring that you are actually in such great shape. Those "baggy"clothes hide some serious results of discipline and consistency. Cancer chose a seriously tough opponent to battle.
A few videos back when Paul was explaining why he dresses the way he does and at the end threw that kick over the hood of his jeep I was impresses. Most people half his age can't lift their leg that high nor have that level of balance.
@@redtiger7268 I know it was a while back, but I'm willing to bet he still looks the same, there was a video of Paul standing in a body of water shirtless and had pecs like he added his OWN level 3 body armor to his pectoral girdle. I'm a powerlifter and an exercise physiologist, I can say with authority, that guy's a HORSE!
You're an expert orator with a vast lexicon, sir. It's always a pleasure to listen to and watch you.
Paul speaks better than anyone I've met in two countries and a decade in corporate. I literally watch Paul Harrell videos to get better at orating, and it's made a huge improvement for me; I received compliments on how I speak in the last two years since I've made an effort to emulate Paul.
@@ArizonaAstraLLC I think you'll agree when I say the topics and content are good, but the real draw for me is the character of the individual and Paul has a great, genuine personality. That outshines any flashy, high production videos from other people.
@@ArizonaAstraLLC the thing I need to learn when it comes to speaking is to not talk as fast as my mind is moving. I have to remind myself to slow it down, and to detail my presentation rather than assume things are a "given" when they may not be obvious to another. I do a Rumble Livestream under a different name, and I'm always taking notes from good speakers like Paul. Another powerful orator was the late Bill Cooper of the Hour of the Time.
@@AwesomeHotSauceandKristosCast I agree wholeheartedly with everything that you've said
I sured hope we would have kept you around a bit longer. Thank you Paul
You're a national treasure, Paul. Not just as a content creator, but as a person. Your honesty is everything to me. Thank you.
Paul has got to be the most chill, down-to-earth person I’ve ever seen.
Its true I meet him irl
I've never wanted a video to be an April Fool's joke more than this one, but I recognize it is NO joke at all. Wishing you all peace and health, Paul. Thank you for all you do.
Stay strong! I am a 21-year stage 4 prostate cancer survivalist. Attitude is key. Thank you for everything 🙏🏿🇺🇸
Congrats man. People underestimate the power of their mind.
good on you man, hell of a victory!
That's awesome, brother! People all around me are getting cancer and it scares the crap out of me. Your story is amazing and gives me hope that there's always a chance of pulling through with some "can-do" attitude! Peace and God bless!
@@ledzeppelin1212 Blessing to you and yours🙏🏿🇺🇸
Liar
Paul--to quote one of my fitness heroes--Mike Mentzer--"If I could explain the actions of irrational people then they wouldn't be irrational". Sorry to hear you're dealing with the double whammy of extreme human cruelty and severe illness. If anyone screams basic decency through word and deed it is you. You have all of our support, love and prayers.
That is a GREAT quote.
Paul, for many years now you have stood as a beacon of knowledge within this community and have taught us all so much. For all that time you were behind us, in return we will always be forever thankful for you and all you have done. I believe I can speak for us all when I say this: Thank you, Paul Harrell. We will stand with you forever.
Many of us are behind you 100%, Mr. H. Thank you for all your work.
RIP Paul, see you on the other side. Glad we had another year with you.
As someone who watches a lot of different firearms channels, I can honestly say I’ve learned more from you than anyone else
Humility with a giant helping of courage. We're with you Paul.
Always love the wisdom delivered from the fallen log in the Blue Mtns.
Man, this is rough. I feel like an old friend of mine is sick, and I have never met you. I am sending prayers your way, that's what everyone here needs to do.
Yeah....☹️
Yea man, he had me laughing about half way through and the only thing I could think gotta be praying for this dude 😂That ending was hilarious, seeing as my hair started dropping in my early 20's
Exactly, even watching this now and hearing him say he doesn't want any sympathy or even mentions of it, like that's fine, it shows how strong he is, and it reminds us that we are all just online viewers who don't know him personally, but I think it's crazy to not say anything because this is as serious as it can get, if I'm being honest. This is, in all likelihood, a terminal diagnosis, and this is his whole life we're talking about! Even the strongest people deserve some support when it gets this tough and I just hope he has that support in his personal life.
@thekamotodragon Very well said. He means alot to many people, probably more than he will ever know. It's like losing a friend.
RIP Paul. We all appreciate what you did for the second amendment
Love you paul. Nothing weird.
oh its weird, we love you Paul
weird, but we love him.
I love him in weird ways, rawrrrrr.
@@nukeman360 Sounds weird, though..... 😉
We all do. It's ok.
We are all rooting for you Mr Harrell
Hey Paul, none of us are jumping ship. In fact, I would be very surprised if your channel did not grow as a result of your openness. Watching you tackle this issue with grace, resolve, and courage is a huge example to the rest of us. Hang in there and know we're all behind you.
What the hell is the bald eagle BBQ society?
@@joewatts2940 This is just me assuming with literally no proof. But when he first said that there were chat rooms he was obviously not a part of it made me immediately think of fetish chat rooms or something similar. I'm pretty sure its just a way of implicitly saying that without explictly saying it

I guess a few of us are going back and looking at his videos , R.I.P
@@chuck300mxc You're damn right
You have been nothing but a professional and source for amazing information for years. Thank you for everything you have done for our community sir. I stand with you and wish nothing but the best for you and your health sir.
Dear Mr. Harrell - you are one in a million, and we're all supporting you. You've given such good information and commentary to all of us, that we're grateful. Thank you Sir.
Brother. We will be here the whole time. Your presentations will be around longer than all of us; what a legacy.
I Hate I Never found Paul until now…..I ABSOLUTELY Love his Personality what a Nice Man….He was so DAM Truthful …We Miss U …..
I am a fan, a physician, and a shooter since I was 8 years old (I am now 57). I don't "follow" TH-camrs, so I just occasionally watch your videos and thoroughly enjoy them when I see them. I will not offer sympathy, medical advice, or other such things that you clearly don't need or want. Your contributions are valuable and appreciated, that is my opinion and my observation. I perceive you to be a man of solid integrity and character. I wish you well and hope I run into more of your presentations in the near future.
Being a nurse I wonder if any of this has to do with lead exposure as I've heard of personal gun range owners that had lead levels checked and they were very high.
Kindly, 7:36
Getting invested in the personal lives of total strangers is an unfortunate side effect of the interconnectedness of the modern world. Best to care more about the people we actually have the ability to help, and less about celebrities (major or minor). We trick ourselves into thinking we know these people whose videos we watch, music we listen to, books we read, or whatever other media, but we don't know them at all.
Absutely not. Shooting outside is basically a nothingness.
@@ts440sPaul asked not to make wild connections.
As a 3 year cancer survivor... I understand.
I'm rooting for you friend.
Ive actually always been impressed of your command of the english language...i think your probably one of the most well spoken gun tubers out there
Indeed. He is very concise and well spoken. Sometimes I wonder if he's just self depricating to bring a little humor. I certainly wouldn't mind having a few English lessons from him, followed by some range time!
Real man... Real talk...
No matter the subject.
That's how I judge it.
Nobody cares how YOU judge anybody. You are a nobody
Hey Paul, most likely no one will read this but I never had a dad or any positive male role model in my life. You and a handful of other men on TH-cam have taught me a lot. It sucks to hear you’re not well. I’m sure the cancer doesn’t stand a chance. Thanks for everything sir.
At least 41 of us have read and liked this. Thank you for appreciating Paul. We do too.
❤
Based.. same here
Paul is the uncle I wish I had. Such an honorable man.
Paul is a great example of what a man should be in today's society. Much respect to you and him both!
You're a good man, Paul, and you have many, many supporters and fans.
Mr. Harrell, you're one of my favorite people that I've never met. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Fuck cancer. I miss all the good people in and around my life that have been taken by it.
Paul, I wish you had more time than what was given to you, but I'm greatful for the time you had and good works you did.
My father is a pancreatic cancer survivor and my wife is a double whammy kidney and endocrin cancer survivor. I wish you strength and good fortune, take care of yourself💯
We love ya Paul. I’ll be keeping you in my prayers.
Absolutely
Amen
Message received Paul. Thank you for being candid and giving us a heads up.
I thought we'd have 6 months when this was posted. We got 14. Doesn't make the inevitable any easier.
The light hearted "don't try this at home" really got me good.
Thank you Paul for being here (and staying). You and HickOk45 are the Granddad and Uncle I never had.
Thank you very much.
only 2 that I watch.
We all appreciate your work Paul, and we're all pulling for you.
Stay frosty and know you have our prayers and support as always ! Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
R.I.P. to Paul, an upstanding man.
He's shooting full-auto in heaven now, with some of the finest figures in both known & unkown history.
I feel confident in what Paul has taught me and everyone else. He is the most entertaining gun instructor on you tube. His videos will last well into the future.
This channel was the impetus for me changing my mind on 2A and realizing my upbringing was not a true reflection of how gun owners are. Thanks Paul, really made me a more well rounded and informed person.
I will give a big +1 to anybody who can become less ignorant/learn/adapt and admit that a long-time thought/belief/way-of-life is probably either very ignorant/wrong/unethical/etc...
It takes lot to change and the 1st step of admitting it is a big one.
Such an amazing display of adult comprehension and maturity. So few people can admit to learning, growing, changing their mind/ being wrong about something.
We’re glad you’re here.
Watching Paul Harrel in the back ground while doing my daily chores. It's my inspiration to get it done.
Paul, I wrote you about a year ago about advice on handgun ammo for police work, and you replied giving me an awesome answer. I won’t jump ship, I’m not going anywhere. You’ve earned my total respect and my prayers to beat your illness.
Thank you for all you’ve done, and all you have yet to do.
What ammo did you pick and what was the top 5?
Nothing drives our enemies more crazy than being successful. I'm really sorry you're having to deal with all of this Paul. Rest assured you're in everyone's prayers. With a speedy recovery on the horizon.
Others have said it, but we are all rooting for your full recovery. Courage, brother.
"People have been reminding me how terrible I look since kindergarten." Most relatable quote ever! I love this man and his dry humor.
Paul Harrell. Walks on water, swims on land. Feeds the Navy Seals. Shoots eleven targets with ten shots and nine rounds. Speaks Russian in French.
Thanks for all you’ve done, and all you do.
He said to stop making comments.
Which is nothing your welcome
Paul, well said! I am a head and neck cancer survivor 6 years out. My wife left me during treatment and spread so many lies before and after. She was thinking dead men don’t talk. You speaking truth to people in general is the best you can do. God speed!
Wow...What a Shallow Piece of 💩 - Glad you are Better! - And She Is Out Of Your Life! - Paul is Great, and I only wish I lived closer...I don't mind 9MM holes in my steaks...LOL
I feel sorry for Paul's cancer cause it must be terrified that it's going to come down with the worst case of Paul doctors have ever seen! Just keeping it light and love you, man. You got this.
Little known fact; Chuck Norris considered using the stage name Chuck Harrell, but didn't want to risk it.
63 year old woman here. Didn't start shooting till age 59. You have helped me so much! Thank you. Do what is best for you. We will stick around!!
And that folks is what this channel is all about!
I wish more people talked like Paul does. There are just people with real CHARACTER that comes out.
We love your content Paul 😊
You’re in our prayers Paul. And we’re with you.
Don’t worry about us jumping ship, we’re going to stay and watch no matter what.
As a former member of 1-162IN Battalion, you're undoubtedly one of its most remarkable sons.
In the unlikely event that this affliction overtakes you, we'll pick up the slack.
That is all.
Paul's grasp on reality and his practical down to earth view on things including himself always make me smile. Not going anywhere Paul.. Just glad to see you still doing you.
I love you, dad. I hope you can pull through.
Paul you are in my prayers.
Paul, you're a national Treasure to youtube, America, and the 2nd amendment. I hope and pray you get the best out of every day you have left. Keep your head up, it's not over until it's over.
I have two brothers diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. I just saw this video today, sincerely my prayers hence forth daily are with you. You are not only a source of education but a benefit/blessing to those that watch you. We've never met but I picture you as a friend & mentor.
My dad was diagnosed with it last summer. Jeez Paul sorry to hear that. Cancer is poop.
Hang in there
Thinking of you
Be strong make videos!!!!
Here for you
Fasting can help a great deal with cancer and especially prevention. Some benefits of doing occasional extended fasting: High blood pressure is lowered to normal levels very quickly while fasting.
Fasting restores NAD+ to healthy levels.
Vitamin D plasma levels are increased as fasting improves metabolic health, and vitamin D in turn increases autophagy.
Fasting stimulates phagocytosis, the ingestion of bacteria, plaques and viruses by the immune system. It will also remove any 'foreign material' like spikes that are not supposed to be there. Whether natural or unnatural in origin..
Fibrosis/scarring is reversed over time.
Telomeres are lengthened and fasting also increases anti-aging Yamanaka factors.
Blood clotting is reduced and blood clots and arterial plaque are reabsorbed into the body.
Reflexes and short term memory are increased.
Fasts from 36-96 h increase metabolic rate due to norepinephrine release!
After 72 hours or more fasted, your body recycles up to 1/3 of all immune bodies, rejuvenating your entire immune system. This helps prevent the onset of new autoimmune conditions, which develop through a leaky gut and damaged immune system.
Fasting can help with MS, Depression, BPD, Autism and seizures.
Thymus is regenerated, which suppresses aging and renews the immune system. The thymus also plays a vital role in fighting cancer.
Blood sugar and insulin are lowered when fasting, allowing white blood cells to move more freely throughout the body and do their job.
Weight loss from daily caloric restriction has 1/4 to 1/3 of the weight lost as lean tissue while many studies show fat loss from 36 h fasts without losing any lean tissue!
The obese will lose extra tissue like loose skin while fasting, but the skinny or frail will have increased growth hormone release than the obese, which helps to make more lean tissue and reduce frailness.
The hunger hormone ghrelin also lowers with extended fasting and rises from dieting.
When you move out of MTOR your body shuts down the building blocks of the cell required for viruses to replicate.
What breaks a fast? Anything with protein or carbohydrates in it will break a fast. Most teas and herbs are OK. Most supplements and meds will either break ketosis directly or contain a filler that will. Many meds are dangerous to take while fasting.
Does fasting lower testosterone? No, it raises it when the fast is broken by increasing lutenizing hormone. Fasting also increases insulin sensitivity, which helps with muscle building.
Fasting very quickly reduces leptin resistance, which impairs immune function. One day of fasting can cut your leptin levels in half and gets your immune system working properly again!
Stomach acid is reduced over time while fasting and can allow for the healing of treatment resistant ulcers. Some patients may need continued acid reduction medication while fasting.
Does the body preferentially prefer glucose as a fuel? No. Except for brief periods of very intense exercise, your body mainly burns fats in the form of free fatty acids. Your brain also prefers to burn ketones at a rate of around 2.5 to 1 when they are available in equal quantity to glucose.
Fasting stimulates the AMPK complex and activates autophagy. Autophagy (literally self eating) will cause cells to recycle foreign matter such as viruses and kill cancerous and senescent cells
Lowering insulin via fasting virtually eliminates chronic inflammation in the body.
It increases mitochondrial function and repairs mitichondrial DNA, leading to improved ATP production and oxygen efficiency. Increased mitochondrial function also has the added benefit of increasing your metabolism, fighting infection and cancer prevention!
Fasting releases BDNF and NGF in the blood which stimulates new nerve and brain cell growth. This can help a great deal with diseases like MS, peripheral neuropathy and Alzheimers.
When not in ketosis, the brain can only burn carbohydrate, which produces a great deal of damaging ROS the brain has to deal with.
Fasting also increases telomere length, negating some of the effects of aging at a cellular level.
When you fast, this stimulates apoptosis in senescent or genetically damaged cells, destroying them. Senescent cells are responsible for many of the effects of aging and are a root cause of the development of cancer.
A fasting mimicking diet for 3-5 days in a row also provides many of the same benefits as water fasting. FMD usually has 200-800 calories, under 18 g of protein and extremely low carbs.
Exogenous ketones can aid with fasting, making it easier in healthy people and allowing some people with specific issues to fast in spite of them without worrying as much about hypoglycemia.
Children, pregnant or nursing women should not fast for periods longer than 16 hours. People with pancreatic tumors or certain forms of hypoglycemia generally cannot fast at all. Type 1 diabetics can also fast but it is more complicated and should be approached with caution as it could lead to ketoacidosis. If you experience extreme symptoms of some kind, especially dizziness or tremors, then simply break the fast and seek advice.

This list compiled over years of research by the user known as Pottenger's Human on youtube but feel free to copy and paste this anywhere you like, no accreditation needed!
My channel will always contain an updated version of this list of fasting benefits on the community tab. I also have playlists on fasting and health topics.
Eat more meat…your pancreas won’t have to work as hard
Absolutely
We're praying for you, brother
Amen
Hi Paul ! Before the video starts, I wanna say thank you for your presentations. I hope the update doesn’t have too much bad news.
Boy did they
Oh boy😅
:(
Rip Paul spending the day watching my favorite videos of yours
You are in our prayers Paul. Godspeed.
The fact that you can present to this situation with the same level headed demeanor that you have given in all of your videos is part of the reason that you have so many devoted subscribers. You’ve always given us your honest evaluation and opinions and no matter how this goes for you, I’ll always appreciate you for sharing your time, experience and knowledge with us.
My prayers go out to u and your family. You’re an American Patriot.
Paul's loss is felt here in Canada as well. Rest in Peace, Paul.
You're a class act, Paul. Respect.
We will be here, Paul. Thank you for all that you do.
*Paul, you constantly apologize for having a speech impediment. I can't tell you what to do or what to think; only my own impression. I don't perceive any impediment. You are an excellent speaker who presents information very clearly with a measured, unhurried tone that makes it easy to follow your train of thought. The pauses you speak of in your delivery only serve to punctuate your points.*
*Compared to the hurried, frenetic, breathless speech patterns of so many content creators these days, your **_"Shatner-esque"_** delivery is a breath of fresh of air by comparison. John Wayne had, at one point in an interview, credited a mentor of his for teaching him to slow his speech and make deliberate pauses when acting to better drive home his dialogue in the minds of movie-goers. Your delivery achieves a similar result.*
*I curse the person who stigmatized you into believing you have a speech impediment. I don't hear one on my end; only wise words precisely and thoughtfully delivered by a giant of the firearms community.*
IMO Paul is the one of the most well spoken people on You tube !
probably his ex
Thank you Paul for your expertise & dedication to the 2nd Amendment & our way of life. You have & continue to serve us well. We LOVE you!!
Paul, we are ALL pulling for you. Thank you for sharing, we care.
