Fasting in cancer therapy
A study by researchers at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center found that a 24-hour fast may help regenerate the intestinal lining damaged by radiation by increasing beneficial “AKK” bacteria and their production of propionate, which activates tissue-repair mechanisms. The benefits disappeared when the bacteria were removed and returned when they were reintroduced alongside fasting, suggesting that both are needed for the effect. However, the findings are still preclinical and have not been confirmed in humans. They do not mean that cancer patients should fast; patients should not change their diet during treatment without consulting their doctor.
