El ayuno contra el cáncer

When it comes to cancer treatment, Valter Longo, the world expert on the relationship between diet, longevity and health, completely changes the approach to complement treatment. After years of research and experimental programs, the author demonstrates that the application of controlled fasting protocols is a very powerful ally in the fight against various types of tumors, and based on this idea, he explores new and possible combinations with standard therapies. Despite advances in science, almost one in two people today is at risk of getting cancer. How is it possible that we have managed to reduce the possibility of suffering deadly diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and many others, and we have not achieved similar success with cancer? The explanation is found in the fact that tumors are extremely complex -none is the same as another- and are made up of cells that do not follow a predictable development. Now, they all have something in common: they are made of "confused and rogue" cells that eat much more than healthy ones, especially if attacked with conventional therapies. According to this premise, then, helping to prevent, but also to defeat, tumor diseases is possible by starving diseased cells.
