Fasting More Powerful than Any Drug on Earth, According to Recent Study
The most misunderstood system is the immune system. Not just by everyday people, but also by many highly trained doctors we depend on for our health advice.
It's not uncommon to simply depend on synthetic vitamins and medicines to manage colds and hopefully improve our immunity, yet unfortunately, the age-old cycle of sickness keeps on continuing.
There are many natural options for people with compromised immune systems, and researchers have recently discovered one of the most promising ways to totally reset and recharge your immune system; and the best part about it? It's free and can even help the elderly as well.
White blood cells (right) help immune response, and they can be recycled through fasting, the study showed.
Only Three Days to a Completely New Immune System?The act of fasting for as little as three days can regenerate the entire immune system, according to researchers at the University of Southern California. Even for senior citizens.
The researchers state that fasting helps the body’s stem cells to begin producing new white blood cells, which also helps to fight off infection.
They also said that this discovery is particularly effective for people who suffer from damaged immune systems, such as patients undergoing chemotherapy, and were protected from the harmful impacts of the chemo treatment during their fasting period. My personal recommendation is to seek out alternatives to chemotherapy. If possible, consult with a holistic doctor for your treatment).
Flipping the “Regenerative Switch”
Fasting for as little as three days can regenerate the entire immune system, even in elderly people, the researchers noted.
“Fasting gives the ‘OK’ for stem cells to go ahead and begin proliferating and rebuild the entire system,” Prof. Valter Longo, Professor of Gerontology and the Biological Sciences at the University of Southern California, told the UK’s The Telegraph.
He added that the body actually removed parts that were damaged, old or inefficient during the fasting process, creating “literally, a new immune system.”
According to Dr. Longo a person’s system recycles unneeded immune cells, especially damaged ones, in order to create energy while they are fasting.
Over the course of his study’s trials, participants were asked to regularly fast between 2-4 days over a 6 month period.
The study was released in June 2019, and Dr. Longo said that clinical trials must still be completed, yet added that the research looks “very promising.”
