I go over a case report of water-only fasting, followed by a whole food, plant-based diet for follicular lymphoma.

The story continues in my next video, Spontaneous Regression of Cancer with Fasting (nutritionfacts.org/video/spontaneous-regression-of….

  • In August of 2016 my husband was diagnosed with Stage 3B Colon Cancer. He refused the recommended 9-12 months of chemo (and probably more). We made radical changes to out diet and lifestyle ( including a WFPB diet). I am happy to share that he is alive and well today. Most importantly he is cancer free and chemo free.

    in my country (Romania, Europe) we're all, young and old, encouraged by the orthodox church to fast for 40 days before Easter. I have yet to see anyone getting worse by fasting that much time! the only problems i have read about were people stuffing themselves at Easter after fasting. 1500 years-long "country report" right here. Multiply by several millions of christian orthodox - pretty convincing, right?

    Love your videos. You've got the greatest delivery, voice pattern, etc. It's like watching Jeff Goldblum's brother. Keep up the great work!

    I had a friend many years ago who had leukaemia. This was in the early 1960s so there was no treatment available. She met a naturopath in the hospital who offered to treat my friend. It started with a water fast for a period of time,(I think it was 3 weeks)and watermelon fast . Her leukaemia cleared up and she fasted periodically the details of which I have forgotten, but she lived into her early 80s and died from dementia. My friend became a vegetarian and also studied natuopathic medicine.

    So much info when considering diet after cancer diagnosis. Carnivore diet, plant based, keto, intermittent fasting, 21 day fast, etc.. Tough when it's crucial to get it right the first time.. 😫

    I'm from Saigon, Vietnam. My mum was diagnosed with Stage IIA breast cancer two months ago, and it's a Triple-Negative case. Ive been following Dr. Greger for a few years since my dad got type II diabetes. I bought his book "How not to Die" as well. What is written in the book saves my dad's life. Im now doing to the best of my ability to help my mum fight her cancer. And yet again, Ive opened the book and looked for the remedy. Before knowing the book, our family's diet had not been that healthy. I do believe that the breast tumor has been there already. And I do believe that the plant-based diet has helped suppressed the tumor to the point it hasn't spread any further to the lymph nodes. It's regional. At the moment, She's now on a very strict plant-based diet with whole fruits, lots of greens and extreme low carbs. I do believe we can beat the disease.

    I Did 22 hr water fasting 2 days ago... After that My mouth Oral Lichen Planus almost 90% cured!
  • No one does a Whole food plant-based cliffhanger better than Dr Greger. In fact no one does it at all! Can hardly wait for the next follow up episode.

    Gregor and Goldhammer are a match made in heaven! Fasting is the ultimate healer, thank you!
