Fasting May Help Cure Cancer

    Mom's going under the knife tomorrow.  She's had some bleeding in her urine and wants a hysterectomy in case a cancer is growing there.  A year ago, some polyps were removed from her ovaries.  These are some signs of the beginning stages of that pesky disease which runs prolifically in our family.  Of the four deaths that I know of, three were the result of cancer. 

    There are many success stories about the triumph of fasting over cancer.  Most cancerous tumors grow from sugar, others from fat.  Starving oneself therefore starves the cancer as well.  The reason this isn't well known is because of what I call the Medical-Agro industry, a hybrid of two economic powerhouses that the government would see fasting as being a threat to, like the much-maligned Military Industrial Complex, which is an actual thing.  The medical industry makes so much money off chemotherapies, surgeries, and other operations that it would be a major economic obstacle if the practice of fasting to cure cancer ever got out.  I think that's why there is no regulation or promotion about the benefits of fasting, at least by the government. 

    To those who would question the success of this remedy, there are two things to consider.  How often do you see very skinny people undergoing cancer treatment?  Very few, I'd imagine, at least in the United States.  This would indicate that cancer is mainly a source of over-eating, though other factors obviously contribute (radiation, carcinogens, smoking, and possibly genes, though this is not yet proven).  Secondly, water fasting helps to detoxify the body in so many ways; it assists in flushing out toxins through the digestive system, it resets the immune system, and makes non-cancerous cells more efficient.  The only time it wouldn't work is if it was too late: if the cancer had already done too much damage to be destroyed by simple water fasting.  In such cases, a combination of fasting with chemotherapy is probably more effective. 

    I tried explaining this to my mother, but I don't think she understood it.  Her biggest problem is her sugar addiction.  Even at her age, I still find her binging on it sometimes.  The mere fact that depriving cells of food, which supplies them with ammunition to grow, would stifle cancerous cell growth should make sense enough.  But for the sake of our national pride as bottomless gluttons, we aren't even open to considering fasting as a mainstream treatment, which is often used in the east with great success.  Gluttony triumphs over death, at least in this part of the world.
