Fasting is vital. Even the healthiest person should fast sometimes. Starve cancer cells, eat clean, stay away from junk food and processed foods. Keep a positive mindset.

I've just been told I have cancer, I go in on the 22nd of this month (june 2023) for port placement, Dr told me 1 treatment every 3 weeks for 3 months, I have no idea what to expect as at almost 50 years old and NO family support, this terrifies me, the thought of losing my hair scares the crap out of me, I have waist length hair, so to be totally bald, I have no intentions of going outside until my hair grows back, I've already bought a few chemo hats for when I have to go outside, but I am self conscious about my appearance...also my anxiety is going to cause issues with my body, I am a type 2 diabetic, but will try the fasting before my 1st treatment which should be the first week or 2 of July 2023...being told I have cancer, also cancelled my already paid for plane ticket (non refundable) so I lose $1168 I hope I can kick cancers butt....

Wonderful rundown!! I fasted last year before my breast cancer TC chemo treatments (every 3 weeks). I did 48hours pre chemo plus 24 hours after chemo drip was done. I never had nausea, and felt generally very good! FASTING plus 9 CUPS of veg a day and plenty of mineral broth on non fasting days I believe really TRULY made an incredible difference in my health I highly recommend.

Thank you so much. I start chemo this Friday - 9/8/23. Your helpful legacy lives on and I hope you are doing well and thriving today!

Great video. Thank you for sharing. I know you are CYA when you say "talk to your doctor about fasting", but every account I've heard of talking to the doctor about fasting resulted in the doctor saying fasting was a bad idea because the patient needed to keep up their strength. Hopefully the Mayo clinic study will result in the education of doctors about the benefits of fasting because at this time, most are totally clueless.

I too have been fasting b4 chemo infusions. 36 hours before the 1st, and now 48 hours before 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Side effects have been minimal. I was even able to negotiate the removal of all steroids. Amazing results!

Good for you! I did this too both before chemo and before radiation. It helped with symptoms quite a bit.

Putting the body into ketosis seems to be the main thing, so if you can't tolerate a total fast, do a keto diet, i.e. healthful fats, protein, and very few carbohydrates. A quick internet search will give you the basics. Avocados and hard boiled eggs were my best friends the couple of days before, day of, and three days after chemotherapy.

Thank you for your feedback as I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. My first chemo was terrible took me more than a week to recover or more. When I did the fasting before my second round of chemo, I felt really rough for two days and I recovered more quickly.

I love your upbeat positivity and mental attitude. Nothing can keep you down. Its so refreshing!

I've been praying for you three times a day! Wishing you only the best!!!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I have a recurrence of breast cancer and 4 years ago I hadn’t heard of this fasting info. I’ve been looking into this, now, as my infusion date approaches. Great video!

I was looking for more info on the fasting chemo protocol for my cousin who is going through colon cancer and this is def the best (and only) video I could find on the subject. You made it very clear and entertaining. This is a super helpful and informative video! Thank you for making it Parris. Ps I watched your chia mining video as well. You are very entertaining and your enthusiasm is infectious. Keep up the great work my friend!

Your explanation is perfectly, simple, yet, effective. Everyone understands.

I have a regrowth of ovarian cancer they canceled my chemotherapy twice because of low neutrophils. I will try this fasting ɓefore infusion.

My wife just had 1st chemo last week , then had 5 bad days now 6th day starting to ease, will try your idea of fasting next week.

I am currently going through chemo. By the time I wait for blood test and pee test to be checked I’m in my 40 hrs of fasting. I take my chemo and refeed when I get home, something light. The day of I’m usually loopy and tired bc of the Benadryl but the next day I feel awesome and have little to no side effects. I usually take a lot of prebiotics and probiotics to introduce good bacteria back into my system and that takes care of the stomach stuff.

Thank you for this information. I found your channel looking for information on cooling gloves and socks. I’m trying to be proactive while preparing for my first chemo infusion. The fasting video was a bonus! I’m definitely going to give it a try. I’m glad you are on the other side of your treatment journey. ♥️

I love your updates!! im so glad your doing well!! I get pancriatitis and cure is fasting so I understand. I had to fast close to a month once!! you've got this!! iv got no doubt

I watched a documentary on fasting and they discussed the positive effects it has on the body, particularly when undergoing chemotherapy. They did a test on rats and the rats that were given chemo and allowed to eat normally all suffered terrible side effects and some died (they were given three times the amount of chemo equivalent to what humans get). And the rats that fasted all showed little or no side effects at all. Pretty powerful results. Other accounts by patients also corroborated this positive effect. The body goes through a state of autophagy where the body "cleans" out dead or damaged cells. The body is so intelligent! Thanks for sharing.

Came here for practical suggestion & Team Spiritual support now before Day #2 of Chemo. If it is true that in order to keep it, one must give it away~. Strong Hunch: you are one Rich Man Parris!

Thank you for this information. Just had my 1st round (of 6) One week ago and Wow, I Didn't expect to get Dropkicked strait to my bed for 3 days and every time I'd tip-toe out of bed more than 3 steps I'd have to run quickly to the bathroom and heave any liquid I may have sipped. At 7 days now I'm back to 💯. The thought of going through that even ONE more time terrifies me!!; so any info. that helps Will be tried Thank You!

Here i'm 84 years young i have prostate cancer in 2012 i'm doing pretty on the MD Lupron and prednisone an zitiga My last PSA was .78 thank you for sharing with us the anticipation of what mite be coning way i'm also got my fingers cross

Very informative, wish I knew this before my Chemo. However mine was a slow infusion over 5 days with a bag attached so the fasting could only have been limited to 40 hrs before day 1.

My chemo goes 2 straight days on followed by 2 weeks off.next week will be my 3rd round. I go in every other Tuesday for about 5 hours then every other Thursday I go for about 5-10 minutes to have the ball removed. It looks like a lemon that I have a fanny pack looking thing I carry it in. I also have a chemo port installed in my chest below my left collar bone. That port keeps them from sticking my arms. They also gave me a numbing cream to make being stuck hurt less. So far I like that part of it. I'm limited on what I can eat which for now is basically just mashed potatoes and ramen noodles broken up before they're cooked. I have esophageal cancer. It's been a heck of a ride so far. I also have a hiatal hernia in with all of that and had an inguinal hernia fixed the beginning of October. Definitely not what I wanted for a belated bday present as it was just a week or 2 before I had the surgery. I hope all goes well for you and that everyone going through this survives. Good luck to you sir.

As always, your videos are great and inspirational. My family and I continue to have good thoughts for you. Its been nice seeing some videos from your brother too!

I forgot to add that Dr. Longao says that in their research they found that 3 days of fasting before chemo and one day after were the most effective at maximizing the treatment and reducing symptoms. Most people don’t think they can fast 3 days, so I really like your approach and think it will be helpful to people undergoing chemo. You should also check out Dr. Goldhamer, who does long term fasting for all kinds of health benefits.

Fasting reduces blood sugar and glutamine levels - the key compounds for cancer growth.

I love how your shirt looks like cells 🤭

This makes sense. There are studies and trials being on keto during chemo infusion period gives really good results. Well keto is kind of fasting mimicking diet. After that procedure it's important to give the body enough protein to rebuild.

You are an amazing Teacher!!You deliver the massage perfectly. Thank you.!!

Read a comment by a Folfox chemo recipient who said that fasting 8 hours before his chemo, continuing the fast for 3 days then ending 8 hours later saved him from nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea without the use of drugs. Avoiding these side effects mirror what you are saying . . . hard to have stomach problems if your stomach is empty and there is no way to vomit or have diarrhea from anything.

Thank you for keeping us updated ♥

Cancer cells divide 200 times faster than normal body cells and they are hungry. Glucose is what they require. Cut out all sugars and carbs instead of fasting. Keto diet. I did nothing for my first two infusions of Docetaxel and had some bad days after the first infusion. The second was not as bad. Then I cut sugars to expose the cancer cells and shut down my body cells for the third chemo. However, I take Dexamethodone for three days, twice a day, starting the morning of the day before chemo. This has to be taken with food so I do have to eat. I still get side effects though but for the first time I have had tumour reduction and the metastatic are stable. This is my fourth different chemo that had no effect on my cancer and I also had a month of radiation five days a week. Due for another CT next week and hoping there has been further progress.

Thank you❤! I’m trying now!

Wow I appreciate this. It makes so much sense

Thanks for shearing, hope you’re doing better.

On FULFIRI I would start to fast about 18 hours before and instead of 3 to 5 day to recover it would be 3 to 5 hours. But I would continue to fast as long as I could which was usually around 72 hours since I had the baxter bottle, plus the majority of the treatment from the hospital has left your system after 48 to 72 hours. But now I am on FOLFOX and it is infused with large amounts of glucose so fasting is pointless before, but I will fast for the next 48 hours afterwards.

I totally agree. I fasted 24 hours before being given the "Red Devil". I fasted the day of and day after my first infusion. I had minor side effects and don't feel as bad as I thought I would. I also loosely have been using SCOT inhibitors.

Thank you for this information

Great video. Thank you. I’ve shared you with someone on FB who is about to undergo chemo.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Hope to see more update. 🙏

Thank you for that 🙏🏼

Thank you so much for sharing this info. Sorry for the stupid question, but would it be possible to tell me if this 40 hours fasting includes only water and teas or also some light food eg rusks? Also, how about coffee?

Makes sense!

Curious if you have changed your diet in general? Are you sticking to high amounts of potatoes, or have you changed things up?

I ate like a caterpillar because i felt hungry all the time.I felt a HEAT in my stomach and my head.

I agree with this

Some who do longer fasts have no side effects

Great video

Unfortunately I learned about fasting and chemo after I was done. Days 3 to 5 was my bad days and I would lose focus physically and mentally. No fun but I tuft through it. That was 2017 and I don’t know if my brain will ever recover.

I’m facing chemo. What is a really bad effect? How does it affect one? Very scared!

I am starting Chemo on Monday, 9/25/23. I plan on fasting!! Did you do any bone broth during your fast or just water?

Most fast another day after

Thank you!❤❤❤

Thank you for the information 🙏 Did you fast on the day of your infusion??

Cool video tech talk lol yes ok yep oh parris

My god!! What people have to suffer....endlessly....i. our,sort life. 80. 90? Unbelievable...and then their are some. With every day Christmas....not fair

don't you have to take pills with meals before the infusions, ... how do you deal with it, do you just take them with water

I just eat my regular meal so in my first chemo i don’t feel anything…upand my nurse told me,yeah,so you have energy after the chemo.

There’s enough proof it works

what kind of fasting regimen would you recommend for a daily radiation treatment, lasting for 6 weeks? thank you :)

But what do you do if you have to do chemo every day?

For those of us doing IPT or low dose chemo. Fasting beforehand seems like good advice. But we are instructed to eat at the moment of infusion, to help feed the chemo drugs to the cancer cells.

Can you drink electrolytes

I don’t know if you are coffee drinker? But do you not drink caffeinated drinks?

Wish I could do that. But I’m a diabetic. Can I still do that?I too will be in Taxzotire.

Thank you for the info Can i still drink while fasting

Fasting never helped. Where I had chemo, we always had soup and all kinds of sandwiches and snacks. I had infusion with taxotere myself, with two others drugs. Hope you do well.

Sir what's you're side effects for docetaxel?

I don’t know about this idea. For someone who’s appetite has decreased and may not be getting enough nutrition to begin with, the thought of fasting for a day or longer could weaken someone even further.

WHAT IF YOU HAVE 4 DAYS CHEMO?

♥️🙏

Aren't you supposed to take the steroid with food?

What if you're Diabetic? Can't fast that long!

Nice if you can do it 40 hours no food. I think I'll be more weak and sick no food for 40 hours. Im already so sick and no food in 40 hours?..hmmmm

Fasting doesn’t help your blood levels
