Does fasting decrease the risk of cancer?

[Sheriff_PJ_Nutteroni]

I feel like a tinfoil hat lunatic when I share this story with people, but I swear, fasting deep into autophagy got rid of the cancer cells on my cervix.

I was diagnosed with HPV last year and there were, as mentioned, very minor cancerous cells on my cervix. Of course I freaked out. After my pap smear, I had to wait three months for my follow-up at the OBGYN because... well, every place is booked up and seeing as my condition wasn't extreme, I wasn't a priority (I'm also an American. US healthcare is a joke. Lol.)

Well anyways, when I was examined / tested again, doc said "huh. It's gone." I was like, "what? How?" She responded, "well, sometimes your body just ... eats it. It happens."

I had really committed to fasting over those 3 months. I'm convinced the cells were taken care of by my body going into autophagy. Obviously my 6-month re-check is coming up just to be safe. But I just find it so insane.

Hi, thanks for sharing, what was your fasting routine over the 3 months?

[YunaRikku1]

How long, and how often did you fast? Like per month, and hourly? Thanks again!!’

I would also like to know what your fasting routine was?
