It’s a choice between getting detected (and killed) and staying under the radar (and roasting themselves). Seems effective in trials.
This is only for certain types of cancer cells. Sometimes a tumor can be killed with localized heat that won't ( or do negligeable ) damage the rest of the body. As you mention, whole-body temperature elevation can sometimes work too.
A competent doctor will check for this and pick the least damaging treatment that will work.
The medical reasoning is that fasting causes your cells to bunker down into a self-protective mode that consumes less resources. But cancer cells can't do that. Cells being uncontrollably active and reproductive is what cancer is. So the cancer cells are first starved because they can't moderate themselves, making them more vulnerable to the chemotherapy that destroys them. And healthy cells are put in a defensive mode that helps protect them from the destructive effects of the chemo.
They'll claim that the immune system is not strengthened through practice; that It's just a finite pool that gets depleted the more it works. They'll claim that all detoxification is bogus because you have a liver and it will always do everything that needs doing without trouble. They'll claim that all sources of particular nutrients are interchangeable. They'll claim that official RDAs are perfect and one size fits all. They'll deny the cyclical nature of many biological systems and treat our bodies as static. They'll suppose that a diet of perfectly apportioned Soylent must result in perfect nutrition.
They are happy to treat every person as the average person on the average day, and scorn you for learning anytime about the true dynamism of the human system.
"I heckin' love soyence!!1!"
What sort of fasting. Obviously water is allowed, but is that all? No coffee? No sugar?
I've never tried this before.
Is adding salt to water safe? I've seen sodium tablets - are they better?
Is there any harm with using bottled lemon juice from the grocery store?
Does the little bit of glucose, fructose, and sucrose in lemon juice derail the fasting benefits?
I definitely suggest talking about it with your doctor first, or at least getting formal suggestions from a broad range of online sources.
>Is adding salt to water safe?
Yes, but I can’t imagine it tastes very good. I tend to just put a quarter teaspoon on my tongue and eat it alone, then wash it down.
>Is there any harm with using bottled lemon juice from the grocery store?
Probably not, though go for organic stuff so you can be sure it’s not adulterated.
>Does the little bit of glucose, fructose, and sucrose in lemon juice derail the fasting benefits?
I honestly can’t imagine it does, unless you’re using so much it’s less “flavoring the water” and more “diluting the juice.”
