Fasting is also a huge contributor to reducing your chances of getting cancer, due to cancer cells requiring a larger than normal amount of energy. Cut that off very early on and they don't have a chance to grow as large as they do. This is precisely why the Muslims, who practice fasting 1 month a year, are 3x less likely to die of it statistically. Fasting also helps replenish white blood cells and cleans the gut. I only do it once a month for 24 hours, but some people on the extreme go 5 days without eating. If everyone in your family gets cancer.... this might be recommended after some practice? It's interesting because I've heard of vets recommending this to pets if they're sick. But not once have I heard any hospital or clinic ever recommending it to humans under any circumstance! We've gone through A LOT of purging of science and medicine in the medical establishment, all for the purposes of extracting as much money as possible out of people.
