My husband is dealing with kidney cancer. We have done an alternative program in Mexico (Immunity Therapy Center), advised with doctors at The Karlfeldt Center in Idaho, and worked with providers at Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle, and done most of Dr. Marik’s Aggressive Therapy protocol. We are struggling to find what works best but… Read more

Nrungseränzungsmittel nach dem Fasten sind meines Erachtens nur bei Mangelzuständen sinnvoll. ZB bei Vit. D-Mangel oder Magnesiummangel.

Das Alkaloid Berberin wird covid19criticalcare.com nach dem Fasten empfohlen (Dosis 1-2x 600mg). Es soll die Insulinsensitivität erhöhen, das Lipidprofil verbessern und positive Auswirkungen auf das… Read more

👍 Cortisol levels increase during fasting. The stress researcher Selye already described in the 1950s that fasting has a similarly good therapeutic effect as cortisone—without the negative side effects.

The rise in cortisol due to fasting has been confirmed in studies. Fasting has proven effective for chronic pain disorders and chronic…

Cortisol steigt während des Fastens. Der Stressforsche Selye beschrieb bereits in den 50er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts, dass Fasten eine ähnlich gute therapeutische Wirkung wie Cortison hat – ohne die negativen Nebenwirkungen.

Dass Cortison aufgrund des Fastens gestiegen ist, konnte in Studien bestätigt werden. Fasten war erfolgreich bei…

I am wondering if I eventually get to the suggested one meal a day doing intermittent fasting, how do you handle the Berberine and all the other supplements that suggest taking with a meal? I am specifically interested to know how to take Berberine for optimal benefit. I read only 30 min to 1 hour before a meal. But who thinks that far in…

I had wondered what the relationship between intermittent fasting and cortisol levels were. I had asked before and got no replies. So I decided to search for myself. I found this paper which has some data.

The cortisol levels vary daily. It seems though that after about…

Dr. Fung is the man when it comes to fasting. He’s literally written the book (The Complete Guide to Fasting).

I also follow Dr. Ken Berry (book: Lies My Doctor Told Me) who takes great joy in debunking these types of claims. This “study” has not been reviewed, was just a poster at a conference, but it was promoted by the AHA (American…

thank you

The best thing you can do is join the Facebook Group ” The Fasting Method Network by Dr. Jason Fung & Megan Ramos” . You will find a whole bunch of people practicing fasting; intermittent and otherwise, all posting questions and commenting on their experiences. https://www.facebook.com/groups/obesitycodenetwork

Hello, I have been doing intermittent fasting for at least eight years. I am a colon cancer survivor of 19 years so it helps me because I have to watch and when I eat and drink as a result of my cancer. I pretty much do 16 -8 to 18-6 every day. I rarely do off this routine. This has also helped me lose weight and keep it off. My question…

Jeffrey Tuckey highlighted an article from Dr. Jason Fung rebutting the anti-IF research:

This is a very good piece debunking the preposterous claim that skipping breakfast increases risk of heart disease. The amount of junk science out there, amplified by media, boggles the mind. https://t.co/LbaALD2O5b

Whatever the ADA, AHA, CDC, FDA, NIH, WHO or your local public health department says, do the opposite. If the mainstream is demonizing it, it probably works and is good for you. #NoAmnesty

Good morning. This is the second time this week I have seen a segment saying that intermittent fasting causes a higher risk of cardiovascular issues. Is Big Pharma trying to protect its revenue from weight loss drugs?

Six to 8 hours is perfect.

Is it good to fast for 16 hours then have two meals within those eight hours?
