Thanks for this! I have a friend who follows Dr. Fung’s fasting - she does two 48 hour fasts each week and she not only got her cholesterol completely under control, she also got off of her diabetes medicine. It inspired me so much that I decided to try one 48 hour fast weekly. (I miss some weeks or do just 36-40 hours some weeks.) It feels so good and it also has an effect of helping me to want to eat healthier when I do eat. And I love not having to floss my teeth the night after I ate nothing all day.😂 (I do from right after dinner one night until dinner 2 days later.)

I’m also curious about that comment that it could make cancer worse. I haven’t listened to Dr. Fung too much myself, but my friend listens to his weekly broadcast and she said he recommends a 2 week or more fast for people who have cancer. And she said he recommends a 5 day fast quarterly as cancer prevention. (if I remember correctly). I’ve never heard her say anything about caution on fasting too much.
