“It may be that by always being exposed to so much food, we are no longer taking advantage of natural protective systems which allow the body to kill cancer cells,” Longo said. “But by undergoing a fasting-mimicking diet, you are able to let the body use sophisticated mechanisms able to identify and destroy the bad but not good cells in a natural way.”"-source university of southern carolina
Interesting news regarding potential simple additions for a combined therapy that may be more effective. The study is on animals, so further research on humans is needed, but it seems promising.
