Sorry to hear you have stage 4☹️ Please pray for healing from our Lord Jesus daily. Please also look up metabolic therapy and Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried. He teaches Cancer Metabolism at Boston College. He makes total sense. I could listen to him all day, he's filled with so much knowledge and has been very successful with knocking out this disease. Also look up Fenbendazole and Joe Tippens and his protocol. Fascinating as well and Dr. Seyfried mentions this drug along with Mebendazole in his interviews also. Joe Tippens took Fenbendazole and healed his terminal cancer with it.
do long term fasting combined with sauna rotate your diet, 3 days regular eating, 3 days keto, 3 days fasting take probiotics prebiotics and postbiotics and colostrum take nac and shilajit take fiber and activated charcoal
Professor Seyfried says if you water fast for 30 days most cancers are eliminated from your body. My wife has stage 4 bowel cancer , terminal Blah blah blah. Standard of care did nothing . Started metabolic therapy in I’d January 2024 with a CEA of 30. 9 weeks in lymph nodes are normal tumour has greatly reduced. No pain. Walking 10k a day with dog. CEA now 4. Normal is 2.5. She fasts 5 days and eats 9 days. In her case Autophagy has only helped , otherwise she would be dead or have a higher CEA reading. We are not far off having no visible signs of cancer. Anyone wanting our plan or method feel free to ask. It’s not easy but works. Professor Seyfried’s advice has saved her life.
Try mashed up broccoli sprouts. After 15 minutes, supposedly, the shattered cells release chemicals the make sulforaphane, a natural insecticide. The first time I took it, all 15 of my moles quickly dried up and fell off. Got to be careful with fasting though, and a high fat diet, as some cancers eat fat, not sugar. Easy to find out what type yours consumes. This process is so powerful because ALL the potential sulforaphane is already in the seed. Greatest health benefit are in the sprouts, then the stalk, then the leaves, and finally there is a tiny residual amount in the florets. Be careful though as too munch can also trigger a psychotic break. Be by your self when you first take them, or better still, be with someone you want out of your life, permanently. Intermittent fasting is dangerous for people with a lot of comorbidities, and can trigger rapid cancer spread. The time to heal one self is RIGHT NOW, before it is too late.
I refuse to believe our brilliant bodies don't know how to kill cancer in hyper healing state. I know people who have had tremendous success with fasting and cancer reduction. We would all really appreciate a more elaborate discussion on autophagy suddenly making cancer worse, which vastly contradicts information from other videos. Thank you, I appreciate your videos. 🙏
I agree I have only heard good things about autopgahy and reducing cancer. This is the first time I heard of it making it worse. Doesnt really make sense. Studies show that body attacks waste products during autophagy including tumors. There are many stories of people fasting and curing cancer. Please speak on this more elaborately. Doesn’t make sense.
I cannot tell you how much 1) Stopping sugar 2) 18:6 Intermittent fasting daily with a 4 day fast every 2 months plus 3) Regular weight lifting every other day has done to me, my blood work, physical appearance, attitude and confidence. This makes month 28 for me on this schedule with 52 pounds and 7 prescription medications missing from my life at age 61. Unrelated- Apparently there are some internet doctors out there who are butt sore about Dr. Bergs 11.2 million subscribers so they make a video trying to convince you they need more of your attention on health then his channel. Don't fall for it, there's a reason they only have 1 to 2% of the viewing audience.
Congrats on your accomplishments! 52 lbs loss is amazing! And yes, I've seen those doctors attacking Dr Berg. I suspect they are bought and paid for by Pharma companies. Dr Berg is helping people be healthy (naturally) which is reducing their revenue! They view Dr Berg as a competitor and they're trying to take him out.
Good for you. I just turned 70 and although I have cheated too much , Dr Berg has a great following for a reason. He has a cool calm demeanor and does not throw a temper at others who criticize. In life as we know , no matter how many good things you do, you are gonna have the envy factor come back to hit you. Yes it's good to seek others info and I have done that cause some things are not always perfect. So, I say keep on keeping on this journey. Cause it's the journey that matters as much if not more than the finish.
Wow! 56 here and I have been doing nearly EXACTLY what you list except I do a 3 day fast at the end of each month. I also do 18-6. The benefits are real.
Has your account been hacked? Are you being blackmailed? Are you in any danger? Has youtube threatened to cancel your account? You really need to explain this video for all the people who have cancer and have watched your prior cancer videos, where fasting for long periods of time was the main tool to beat cancer. ( I am referring to those two interviews with cancer survivors) People need you man!
Just completed a 9 day fast today. Lemon water, potassium, Magnesium and pink Himalayan sea salt. It was tough, and day 6 seems to be the worst each time. I do this every year. Always shooting for 10 days if possible
To those of us with cancer.. Don't lose hope! Through all my research, it still seems that being healthy has many benefits. Also remember these are the same people who told us we would not spread COVID if we were vaccinated.
I dearly respect Dr's knowledge and benefited from his info as a stage 4 breast cancer with metastatic bone cancer. Bur nevertheless, at times i feel confused by all the updates he suggests amd this info is a major confusion. Fasting has been proven solid to a good health and treating alignments i do long dry fasts hoping to control the spread. I will do further research on this subject.
Exactly who or when was it stated that getting vaccinated prevented people from actually contracting it ? Mitigation of the severity of the symptoms was the information if one contracted the virus. Edit: Re Covid
I have a stage 4 hodkins lymphoma cancer. I have already had ABVD (chemo) last year and at the beginning of this year was told i have 3 swollen lymph nodes (cancerous); one lymph node i can physically feel on the left of my neck. I didnt have a clue that traditional herbal medicine even existed for cancer before. Until i came accross Dr Bergs interviews with cancer patients and then i binge watched all his videos. So, for the past 3 and a half months i have been doing either a 3,4 or 5 day prolonged fast each week. I havent quite got myself to doing longer than this yet but i do want to. Some of these fasts have been dry fasts. I have taken all the inhibitors Dr Berg reccomends (although i can increase my apigenin intake with extra greens). When i eat, its usually cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower or broccoli with a small portion of protein. I drink a herbal tea thrice a day with: Dandelion root Olive leaf Soursop Turmeric Ginger Pomegranate peel Astragalus Cleavers Red clovers Green tea Cinnamon Burdock root Poke root Nettle seeds Hibiscus Echinacea Squeezed with lemon in the end I also daily take around 5-6 cloves or garlic Green smoothie with matcha, Swiss chard, cucumbers,lemon one day and the next day a red smoothie with beets, carrots and grapefruit Also, have made an extract of lemon, orange and grapefruit peel. So, I take 2 tablespoons of that in the morning and evening now. Twice a day i take a tablespoon of blackseed oil and apricot bitter kernels (2 in am and 2 in pm) I start my morning with apple cider vinegar. Initially my lymph node on the neck was around 3cm (determined after a PET scan) and it felt the same when i measured it with my fingers. After doing the above for about a month i felt it reduced drastically to around 1.5 cm. But since ive had the virus/flu towards the end of my second month, i feel the size of the stagnant lymph node changes.. sometimes it seems enlarged and other times reduced. Im still adament i dont want to go for another round of chemo. My oncologist, after my relapse suggested i take ICE chemo (which is stronger than ABVD), with a bone marrow transplant and immunotherapy. The effects of ABVD were destructive for me, im still suffering from a lot of damage internally including digestive problems and bone/joint weakness. So thats a no for me. I will continue to persist with this route. Currently, am making an oil infused with poke root. Takes some weeks before this oil can be potent enough to dissolve cysts, tumors, stagnant lymph nodes, helps with psoriasis also. Will update once ive used this-excited about this. All the herbs and supplements i use can be found in a link under my bio. This is what I've been using in my journey so far. Edit: 6th June 2024 I received my PET scan results and they show the following: 1. Left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy (lymph node): - Increased in size but decreased in FDG activity: The lymph node in the left supraclavicular region has grown larger, but its metabolic activity (FDG uptake) has decreased. This change may indicate a response to treatment or a decrease in inflammation. 2. Anterior mediastinal lymph node: - Decreased in size and FDG activity: The lymph node in the front part of the chest has shrunk in size, and its metabolic activity has also decreased. Again, this could suggest a positive response to treatment or resolution of inflammation. 3. Spleen: - Now normal in size: Previously, the spleen was enlarged, but it has returned to a normal size. This could indicate resolution of whatever condition was causing the enlargement. 4. No new lymphadenopathy identified: There are no new abnormal lymph nodes detected in the imaging studies. Overall, these findings suggest positive changes, such as a reduction in the size and metabolic activity of affected lymph nodes, as well as normalization of spleen size. I will continue my protocol to get the lymph node on my collar bone down in size and FDG activity too (God willing). I have also incorporated hijama (wet cupping) every month. It seems to be helping also.
Thank you for sharing and giving us an insight on how you manage your health and illness- it’s very strong of you to face and fight it , whilst acknowledging different types of food and herbal medicine- my father suffered cancer and realised that sugar was making it worse for him - so when he stopped taking refined and tempting processed food the cancer did not progress and he did not go for a second round of chemo - he felt better and would say that I don’t feel sick like I did many years ago - he incorporated herbal medication and it did work for him
hey. If you are referring to deep breathing exercises, rebounding, dry brushing, tapping, hot/cold showers, castor oil packs and lemon water; I am doing all of this daily as well as my herbal regimen. So, my oncologist is on board with everything I'm doing now. He will PET scan me next month to see if my lymph nodes have reduced in size and SUV activity. He said if it's not grown I'd take that as a positive and my regimen as being the reason for the growth to stop. Also, he said it the SUV number has gone down which shows how hyper active the cancerous cells are- then that will also be a positive. Praying for everyone's healing 🤲
Since I started watching Dr. Berg, I've actually been doing 22:2 intermittent fasting, which is basically OMAD. I've also been on keto for over 2 months, My energy is really high, and I've lost more than 12 pounds and have about 12 more to finally reach my goal weight. All of that without actually decreasing my calorie intake just introduced long walks and liifting weight as will.
I work out with several people, and I have just started speaking of a fasted workout. They can't imagine not eating and doing exercise. I am proof of it. They continually harp at how unhealthy it is to do that. I am the oldest in the group and certainly the healthiest. I eat meat, some dairy and an occasional serving of fermented foods, water, green tea. I can lift weights, run, body weight exercises without hesitation. So I will continue to fast and stay on track. Thank you for this valuable information, Dr. Berg.
Pottenger's Human has a YT page and he is an awesome resource for fasting. He gets right to the point and has information that will blow your mind. Like you I love Dr Berg too so I bet you'll really enjoy watching Pottenger's Human. You keep doing what works for you and just let the naysayers keep seeing your proff. I'm on the other side of my life too and it's a much better life. Hope you find this helpful too. God bless you
Haha you can never make people understand that. I have been working out on fasting state for 10 years now. Even hit two competition on fasting state and i outperform everyone and myself. People think the pre workout feed or supps they take gives them instant energy
I'm almost 50. I've been a gym shark since I was 18. The idea of eating before working out is absurd to me. And I've been following the science behind fasted workouts for decades as a nutrtionist. The benefits outweigh any negative by far!
Went all the way to second degree black belt fasting while training. Can no longer work out after eating anymore since I now know the difference in my performance
I always surf for up 2 to 3 hours never with a full stomach, only eat 1 meal a day no snacking am now 59 years old and have never felt better fasting is the key to a long healthy lifestyle
Very confusing on what he says. Totally contradicts with his earlier statements and most other medical experts on this subject. Wonder if he has any agenda behind.
Dear Dr. Berg, please clarify cancer versus autophagy for people, most of us are confused. My understanding is the following: everybody (that is healthy) has cancer cells to some degree, a healthy body is able to clear the cancer cells up naturally with its immune system. If the cancer cells group together and make another "organism", that is where the problem starts. The tumor now directly can connect to the metabolism of the body (through the blood vessels or through the lymphatic system) and what the person eats can also directly feed the tumor, too. In that sense, during autophagy what the body clears up and makes into fuel and energy, can also feed the tumor. In this case, that is why autophagy inhibitors could be beneficial, so the tumor fully starves without getting any energy at all. I would say, this still should be done carefully, because in this case the body itself is also starving big time, so just do it with care. (This theory would only make sense if the body feeds the tumor during autophagy as a priority over the body in general or if the tumor gets enough energy through autophagy.)
I’m very confused on this subject as well. I had understood from Dr Berg previously that autophagy prevented cancer, and helped to kill present cancer cells. If you read this Dr, could you clarify this?
Some studies have revealed that a high level of autophagy is observed in RAS-activating mutated cells, and cell survival is dependent on autophagy during nutrient starvation In addition, inhibition of autophagy-related protein enhances the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and decreases cell growth . These results indicate that autophagy plays an important role in cell survival of several tumors that depend on RAS activation.
@@sblack9437 Dark side? If you mean Hcq, that saved me through Delta. I have an autoimmune disease so I had a prescription for it anyway but I was scared at first to take it when sick 🤦🏻♀️ I definitely felt it helping kick it out when I went back on it anyway. I'm sorry to break it to you but many "conspiracy theories" are actually true.
Dr Berg, would you PLEASE CLARIFY why you have changed your position on fasting and cancer. EVERYONE IS SO CONFUSED NOW. Please don't leave us hanging. MILLIONS of people have been listening to your advice on the subject and they TRUST and take actions on what you say. YOU MUST CLARIFY!
Going to add myself on to Dr Berg's sucess list. A1c was 6.4 beginning of July, now just tested 5.6. Intermittent fasting, low carb, not too much protein. Lots of weight training.
I always understood if you have cancer then the prolonged fasting will help to starve off the cancer… now it is the opposite? Remember the French guy who had colon cancer? He survived first fasting for almost a month…
Something is not right here. He must have been frightened off. The despots do not want us fasting s they will be without their alleged power an control.
Absolutely agree with you...why he is not give an answer.. lots of people are confused...they have cancer and were uncuraged to do fasting and keto because helped a lot ...and now he said contradictory
Big Pharma industry probably reached out. If people are healing themselves with fasting there will be less people running to their Dr’s office for treatments of all sorts. Just a thought.
This works. I did rolling 72 hours and literally lost over 50 pounds and my A1C took me out of being pre-diabetic state. Which was awesome! Dr. Berg keep up the information.
Day 21 done on my waterfast, i have another 19d to go. Wish me luck i have only 10.9kg to lose to hit my WLG, but the benefit im hoping for is skin tightening and reverse aging 😅
Dr Berg! If autophagy and cancer do not go together, what is a person supposed to do for fasting? This video is scaring a lot of people who have cancer. They are believing and continues to do so that some type of intermittent fasting will help slow down or stop the cancer progression. Everyone needs you to follow up on this as soon as possible. It's been 3 months since this video posted so we need to know now!
I just did a 48 hour liquid fast. I love fasting. The mental clarity is insane. I love the trace mineral brand electrolyte tablets. They have stevia and keep me fasting longer
Dr Berg I am really confused . You have several interviews with people who have cancer, and you assured that fasting and autophagy greatly helped them !
I’m doing a fast right now for my cancer surgery. I’ve done a 23 day, 14 day, and countless 3-5 day fasts. Going for 5 days this time, but Walter Longo’s research says 3 days is plenty. Yay for autophagy!
Did you watch this video completely? What he says about autophagy increasing the growth of cancer? No need to answer but just think you should know since you actually have cancer.
@@brendathomas7173 yes and it’s confusing because it’s the opposite of what he has said before. Thanks m not worried. But I would hope he can explain how autophagy feeds cancer.
I’m extremely confused too. I had started fasting because of this channel for cancer. Because he has said in earlier videos that fasting helps. I do a 72 hour fast every week with chemo just like Fred did and also the book keto for cancer mentions it. I really hope he clarifies this point!
@@nimitaw1167 Hi Nimita💚 I think you are doing great and wish you improved health beyond what you’ve ever had🙏🏽 I did a quick Google search and there are research articles at least since 2018 that say autophagy can basically fight and feed cancer. What I read was far too scientific for me to understand and I might show it to my oncologist. So all I can say is keep going 🙏🏽 I’m a fan of Paleomedicina. Dr. Berg has an interview with Paleomedicina’s founder Zsofia Clemens. They are able to keep you on a diet that mimics water fasting. They have great success with many diseases including cancer. I found them to be affordable to work with, also. Anyhow… don’t freak out! But I do agree… Dr. Berg needs to explain more because he has been preaching the exact opposite for a long time now. He said in many of his videos: “If I found out I had cancer, I would immediately do a 21 day water fast at the minimum.” So I hope he can give us a more nuanced explanation of his latest information.
But this is contrary to what Dr Berg is saying in this video. In confused by this because what you're saying is what I always thought to be true and makes sense.
I'm so happy I have access to these videos at the age of 30, I get to live in an age where things like cancer and dementia are optional because of the access to information that I have. I utilize a combination of dry and water fasting with aerobic excersize to extend my health span! Thank you Dr. Berg
This man dedicated his life in improving lives of millions of people around the world, and those people spread this information to the people around them. His effect is not just the people which are subscribed to him on youtube. His knowledge is being used by the every family of the people who listen to him, their friends, colleagues and many more. If you believe in God, consider this as the real service of God. He is the person sent by God, a great human being. He keeps putting his efforts in educating the people and they benefit from them. If this is not God's service in real sense. If there is a God he wants us to help people, you do not need to believe in God to understand the efforts which Dr. Berg is putting, My pure love and kindness towards him.
Weird ... Why is there not even a single answer from Dr. Berg below here, regarding this worry (about the topic : autophagy-cancer) spreading in the comment section ? To clarify or specify what is necessary. All the other materials we can find on the internet so far about this topic vastly states autophagy helps to starve cancer cells, therefore being a tool in curing it. The outcome may vary according to individuals and multiple factors obviously, but still the knowledge about it is pretty consensual. Why not answering to the question raised because of this video ? That is what is not understandable.
Im confused as well. Ive never seen Dr Berg promote a medicine either. Hopefully big pharma hasnt got to him... He has videos talking about how fasting kills cancer cells. Multiple studies showing this including the Monroe Institute.
I was diagnosed with stage IV adenocarcinoma in 2019. Your videos have helped a lot. What's frustrating for me is, every time I get to a point where there is no sign of cancer, a new (as in one singular) lesion appears. I hope you could make a follow up video or newsletter article on this topic for those of us fighting the good fight! Blessings!
Hi, I need help to understand this. In previous videos Dr berg has said that fasting and autophagy helps fight stage IV cancer. In this video he has contradicted that autophagy can promote cancer. Have you done autophagy and does it help in stage IV cancer
Me too my sister has ovarian cancer and we'd started her on intense fasting to fight cancer but after hearing Dr berg saying autophagy aids cancer I'm very confused again
@@casanjeevgargI was waiting on someone else to point this out. I thought I was the only one who noticed. His previous videos about fasting gave me so much. Hope but I started doing research and saw exactly what he is saying. Now that contradicts his original statements. In my research, research, I read multiple medical journals and he is correct. It helps AND hurts. It just depends on specific conditions such as your cancer/ disease type and mutations and progression. Your best bet is to do your own research based off of what's in your medical chart.
You know how much Doctors never tell patients about Autophagy! Dr. Berg is absolutely humanitarian awesome for sharing thus invaluable health and wellness information/education!
If you're trying to lose weight just be careful with prolonged fasting including doing OMAD. I did OMAD a few months ago for 14 days straight and my weight loss came to a screeching halt (and I was still exercising - running and lifting weights). Doing OMAD or even 20:4 can lower your BMR (metabolism). It sure did for me. I work with a R.D. who confirmed this can and DOES indeed happen with many people. My sweet spot is 18:6. Doing that I am continuing to lose weight and still getting some autophagy. Again, I am only talking about people who are trying to lose weight. If you are at your ideal weight (many people are not) then obviously this doesn't apply. I have about 10 more pounds to go. Also, I still don't feel you need to do strict keto. I don't. I have been doing Adkins this year (when you compare the % breakdown of fats/proteins/carbs between Adkins and keto, Adkins is higher protein and not as much fat as keto is.....both are low carb but (strict) keto is crazy low carb). It has worked for me: I lost 40 lbs in 7 months this year. I am 5'8" and now weigh under 180. Started out at 220. I'm 53 years old. I'm off my statin, no longer need to wear a CPAP machine because I have reversed my sleep apnea and I also lowered my A1C from 5.8 to 5.2. Triglycerides are way down, HDL way up, vLDL cut in half.
@@cougarcandy921 Yep I have actually watched a video of hers where she says to NOT do OMAD every day. In the same video she says it is absolutely fine to do it once in a while but not every day.
Yes me too.. I recently had a hormone positive breast cancer tumor removed and am skipping all conventional treatments and wanting to incorporate fasting. Thought this was a good thing???
My understanding of it is that if you were just going to do the normal intermittent fasting then you are feeding the cancer cells every time you break the fast. But once you go on to a prolonged fast like a 40 day fast, your body would not be constantly fueled so it has no choice but to get rid of those cancer cells as well.
Hi Dr. Berg… I always appreciate every video and all of your effort. However, I’m a little confused on the autophagy and cancer topic.… I really haven’t done keto for all that long… Started end of June of this year… So five solid months and I have lost 40 pounds. Feeling better but definitely cortisol and stress are still holding on extremely in my life but I’m battling.… Have more than a handful of your supplements and just learning all the time. So thank you. I would really and humbly request more information on the autophagy/cancer topic as I have finally gotten up the nerve to embark on a three day fast. Looking forward to it though I haven’t started it but I’ll definitely do that during this month of December. Also, what happened to the whiteboard! … I love the bullet points in the background as you go through the various numbers of what you are teaching us. That teaching tool is awesome and I hope you don’t lose it for the same background that this video shows continually. Anyway… That seemed a little off in this video so just wanted to give you some well-meaning feedback. Have a good weekend.
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing your knowledge with the world. I understood Intermittent Fasting from your videos and have lost over 8kgs, healed from my gut issues following your guideline. Thank you so much.
@@UnpluggedHealthso is this video nonsense then, coz I’ve done a lot of extreme fasting and lost my body, based on him saying to do it to beat cancer and now he’s saying autophagy makes it worse! 😳 Surely he didn’t just sabotage us!
I was recently diagnosed with CLL. Your blanket statement regarding cancer is astounding as you are a professional and your voice/data/information carries weight in the community. According to research: "Autophagy in blood cancers: biological role and therapeutic implications" (see ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), there is great promise and good results from this mechanism of treatment. As I am under the care of a hematologist, the team has been informed and know of my decision regarding fasting to autophagy. Also, as I am scheduled to have blood work frequently there is a measure of "watch and see" installed. Again, I usually don't have issues with your information; however, please be aware that not all cancers are the same and not all modes of treatment to be generalized.
Dr Berg, I have been following you for years and you seemed to be making a lot of sense until today. Why are there a very significant number of commenters including me scratching their head with this advice which goes against what you have been saying in the past regarding fasting, autophagy and cancer. Many of us below thought the advice was that fasting eliminated sugar as a fuel source which cancer needed to survive (Also see Dr Seyfried regarding this same topic and all his research into cancer). I think you need to address this contradiction. I notice in the comments you mainly seem to reply to comments to thank people for their praise of you. Maybe some interaction with commenters concerns maybe more appropriate. If we, your followers are saying wtf is this turn around in advice then I hate to imagine what your detractors will make of it.
Dr Berg, I have followed your content religiously for a very long time now…WTF?!?!?!? I was under the understanding that autophagy was good for cancer (Guy and Fred for instance?!?!). Could you please come out with a video explaining this…I thought I was doing the right thing!!😡. You sir are starting to sound like BIG PHARMA!!!!!! Pleas help us who have cancer…thank you!
Thomas Seyfried has discussed autophagy in the context of cancer treatment. He suggests that promoting autophagy through dietary interventions like fasting or ketogenic diets may help in cancer therapy by enhancing the destruction of cancerous cells. Additionally, he proposes that impairments in autophagy may contribute to the development and progression of cancer. However, it's important to note that autophagy is a complex process with varying effects depending on the context, and more research is needed to fully understand its role in cancer and other diseases.
Have not heard about autophagy encouraging cancer. Cancer cells are consumed through autophagy, it made weaker .see dr valtor Longo re longevity experiment . My question is are stems cells for cancer also made when stem cells of normal cells are made?
I’m a big fan Dr. Berg but I have to admit, now I’m confused concerning people with cancer as you say, that autophagy is not good in that case. Can you do an updated video on what you recommend for someone who has cancer? Many thanks T
He used to say "the best strategy against cancer is fasting & autophagy" and now he says the opposite, and promotes drugs in a sneaky way?, how disappointing Dr Berg.....
If mitochondria from cancer cells are used to build new cells during fasting, they will have the same issues that caused cancer elsewhere. However since cancers cant burn ketones, dialing back carbs and glutamine and replacing a lot of the calories with MCTs or other healthy fats and dialing total caloric intake to about 80% of what a healthy person should eat will starve the cancer out over tine, which is also a type of fasting.
I always thought that autophagy helps kill cancer cells. This is new to me regarding autophagy helping cancer. I remember reading of several people fasting for 3 weeks which killed their stage 3 cancer. Now I'm confused.
I totally agree with you. Dr Berg has many times in his past videos preached that autophagy and fasting helps kill cancer cells. He has even had several interviews with people who cured their cancer thru autophagy and fasting. But now he's saying the total opposite. I'm very confused.
Same here. Last time I watch video that says fasting and autophagy helps killed the cancer cell. Now it the opposite that autophagy increased increased the growth of cancer cell?
Dr. Berg, Many comments are saying you are now contradicting your comment on autophagy and growing cancer. Other videos say it helps. I think many are confused now. Please elaborate.
@@we_the_people207if I were you guys I would just stick to the original video information from guy tannenbaum and Fred Everett I believe Mr Dr Berg has been compromised
Im the reading the comments and I think everyone needs to experiment, for themself, to get desired outcomes. I have 2 types of cancer, of course I had to chemo and you know the rest. But Dr. Berg can't address every type of cancer, NO ONE CAN. Only you will know, if this is good for you. I wish all the illness disappear. And health to everyone in this year. Go for it. We have nothing to lose. I thank Dr. Berg for addressing the nutrient aspect, my docs never commit to this type of conversation. It's not their arena. Dr. Berg IS the guinea pig, and then he shares. Thank you!
I to am a bit confused about earlier episodes where we were told fasting autophogy was the best way to kill cancer cells now being told it can do the reverse . As someone who lost my right kidney to a cancerous tumour i do all i can to prevent its recurrence. And after listening to the interview with the frenchman a while ago i started on a 3 day fast to start with only to find out this information on the second day of the fast when listening to an autophogy expert on another you tube channel say the say thing . So not knowing if i actually still might have other cancer growing that i didnt know about i stopped immediately. The thing i found out about cancer after having it happened to myself was i never knew i had cancer in me . I was told later after removal of the kidney that the category 1 type cancer i had being a slow growing tumour could have started 4 to 5 years earlier and i was totally unaware till sharp pains in my mid back started appearing . So what im saying is even people who think they are cancer free should be very careful if this is true about autophogy and cancer . You expect conflicting information from one expert to the next but not from the one expert .Cheers
I am a long time follower, if atophogy benefits cancer, you need to explain how the 21 day fast eliminates cancer. Confusing. As a truck driver, doing healthy keto is difficult with food choices available on the road. But have been doing one meal a day for years.
I was scratching my head on that one too. I've been watching Jeff De Prosperis, who has Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and he routinely does long fasts. He just came off of another 8 day fast, getting ready for his latest update scan. I found out about him from Kerry Mann of HomeSteadHow. Jeff also is a strict carnivore, which seems to help fight cancer as you're not giving the body any glucose for the cancer to use.
His meaning fasting work to prevent cancer if you are healthy....but if you have cancer already fasting can either trigger more the cancer by the fatigue...
Yeah, that makes no sense to me. Cancer feeds off of glucose, what is being broken down is damaged cells etc. Cancer would not utilize broken down proteins = amino acids. To get into autophagy, one has to fast which means not eating. Not eating would include carbs and sugars that cancer cells need for energy. Autophagy should starve cancers, not help them grow.
Dr Berg should be given Secret Service Protection 24/7 He is more important then those people, He is saving lives and educating us at no cost. Thank you and God Bless you.Yeah benefited from your videos and today I'm more educated then Dr Fauci, Thanks to you.
lol. No no. None of us are “more educated” than Saint dr. Science himself.😆 By Gods grace, there’s decent people like Dr Berg that helps the public with a much better understanding of diet and nutrition. He is providing workable solutions to weight loss and health. I really appreciate Dr Berg, and others like him. ❤️🙏🏼 God bless you my friend… Great comment ☺️
Oh in this broken medical system of USA you have been literally a life saver for me. I follow your advice and i certainly see my stomach and gut health improving so much more than before. I used to be so sick but i all i had to do was not eat for certain hours of the day 😊
Well fasting can help with cancer treatment by starving them from sugar and makes chemotherapy treatment work better. To clear the air, autophagy is only an effect of fasting which can help cancer cells grow more because Autophagy provides them with energy and other building blocks just like it does to our healthy cells. If one with cancer is able to fast without activating or promoting high levels of autophagy, then that could solve the equation
@@Billy_Gee i thought the whole idea of autophagy, was that it got rid of any unwanted cells aka cancer cells by self eating and why it was effective in healing? How would you monitor high levels of autophagy? Plus, if you’re taking a holistic approach without chemo then fasting wouldn’t be ideal. Not sure why dr berg didn’t make that clear in the previous videos and only said do prolonged fasting! Wish he’d explained before that it’s only good with chemo, as I did what he said and ruined my body for nothing, sabotaged my efforts. It’s so confusing what advice to follow.
@@jgoodwin977 emm actually the truth is that prolonged fasting is different from intermittent fasting even tho both induce autophagy. To clear the air further, autophagy only eliminates pre cancerous cells (cells that are overly damaged and have potential of being cancerous but not yet cancerous) through the process of apoptosis. Autophagy does not eliminate cancer cells please take note. The right type of fasting for people with cancer is the prolonged fasting of at least a week and further. In this case , even though autophagy occurs and might be beneficial to cancerous cells because cancer cells are proven to be smart and provide them with more energy like it does to healthy cells , prolonged fasting creates an environment that it starves them of required nutrients and energy for them to grow for an extended period that even if autophagy occurs those cancer cells don't have the resources(sugar or energy) to grow further and then the tumor suppresses till it is very very tiny and everything disappears. The effects are so positive and can prevent a lot of diseases because as we age , our autophagy levels reduces which creates room for bad cells to grow if not cleansed and cause havoc to the body Remember what makes fasting help treat cancer is the ability to deprive cancer cells of required nutrients to survive through prolonged fasting and not through autophagy that fasting causes and also not through intermittent fasting .
I thought fasting was good for fighting cancer??? there are so many videos that say long term fasting when someone already has cancer. Dr. Berg posted videos of a man who reversed cancer and he fasted, so I'm confused now
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🧬 *Introduction to Autophagy* - Autophagy is a natural process where the body self-cleans and recycles damaged proteins and organelles. - Autophagy helps remove pathogens and viral antigens, reducing inflammation and promoting anti-aging. - Sugar and excessive protein intake can inhibit autophagy. 03:11 ⚖️ *Autophagy and Cancer* - Autophagy can both protect against and promote cancer depending on the context. - Inhibiting autophagy may be used as an anti-cancer strategy, such as with hydroxychloroquine. - Research is exploring non-toxic autophagy inhibitors for cancer treatment. 05:14 🕒 *Fasting and Autophagy* - Fasting is the most potent way to trigger autophagy by depleting energy reserves. - The duration of fasting needed for significant autophagy varies but typically starts around 18 hours. - Low sugar and low protein diets can accelerate autophagy during fasting. 08:28 💧 *Water Fasting and Dry Fasting* - Dry fasting (no food or water) can intensify autophagy, but it should be approached cautiously. - Controlled dry fasting, such as fasting without water for part of the night, can offer benefits. - Burning fat releases water, so hydration isn't entirely cut off during fasting. 10:30 🏋️♀️ *Exercise and Autophagy* - Both aerobic and resistance exercises stimulate autophagy, with aerobic exercise being more effective. - Combining intermittent fasting with exercise can enhance autophagy. - Building muscle and autophagy can be conflicting goals, but both have their benefits. 11:56 🍞 *Reducing Carbs and Protein* - Lowering carbohydrate intake and moderating protein consumption can boost autophagy. - Reducing carbs limits the need to burn stored sugars during fasting, speeding up autophagy. - Moderate protein intake ensures the body continues recycling old proteins during fasting. 12:53 🌿 *Natural Inhibitors of Autophagy* - Some natural compounds like stony sponge, apigenin, curcumin, black cumin seed, thunder of GodVine, and retinol are researched for their potential to inhibit autophagy. - These inhibitors may be considered for cancer treatment, as cancer cells thrive on autophagy. - Research is ongoing, and these inhibitors may have potential for low-side-effect treatments. 14:05 📣 *Stay Informed* - Due to content restrictions, access all information on Dr. Berg's website by subscribing to the newsletter. - Ensuring access to valuable information about autophagy and related topics.

Great job on the breakdown!🤩 Although I must say I really hope the turmeric thing is not true because I was told it helps with the detoxification, inflammation and meditative aspects when combined with neem. So I’ve been starting my day with those for over a yr now😫 I’d hate to think my fasting has been all for not since then!😥 Either way, thank you for helping me to see 1111 today and even more for your wonderful time & effort!🤩
Mr. Berg - you are a great man. Just got done with a 72hr lemon water fast. Now I'm going to try a 24 hour dry fast and compare my thoughts. Hope you have a great week.
I love you Dr. B', but I thought autophagy gets rid of cancer. This is the first I've heard that it can promote cancer. Please do a video explaining this in detail.
I can tell you where I think this is going. I've read some very long and boring studies where it is claimed autophagy increases cancer. I'll spare you all the ways they word it HOWEVER... what the study implies is that autophagy from medical intervention with drugs is great for Cancer but you doing it naturally is not 🙄. I don't think I need to explain further what this all means
I am so CONFUSED dr Berg! I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 1.5 year ago, I tried prolonged fasting for 15 days, then keto and intermittent, then prolonged again etc. Have watched Dr Berg's all relevant videos, including the ones he interviewed Guy and Fred who claimed they cured cancer through prolonged fasting and more. I had prostatectomy in the end as my diet did not cure me and all seems ok till now. However I am very very confused as to what I should do - it's the first time I hear from dr Berg that autophagy makes cancer worse. I would appreciate an explanation!
I have the same question when he was discussing the paradox, he is suggesting that when you already have a cancer, reaching autophagy (which is when you fast) would progress the growth cancer that is already in the body.
Wait just a minute Dr. Berg 🛑 what about the gentlemen that have been interviewed that had stage 4 colon cancer, stage 4 lung cancer??? DIDN'T they get rid of their cancer by doing a complete water fast.? Didn't that cause a great deal of autophagy to happen to them and did their cancer get fed? NO indeed their cancer WENT AWAY😮 So what about those testimonies of real life people? And not just reading research but real life people that have experienced the opposite of what you are now telling us?😮 Please explain yourself!!❤
Dr. Berg, it would be great to hear your views on Professor Thomas Seyfried's work that provides clinical evidence that cancer is a metabolic disease that may be treated by severely restricting and inhibiting glucose and glutamine and in doing so starve cancer cells. Fasting and diet would seem to be key parts to such a metabolic treatment.
Thomas Seyfried has discussed autophagy in the context of cancer treatment. He suggests that promoting autophagy through dietary interventions like fasting or ketogenic diets may help in cancer therapy by enhancing the destruction of cancerous cells. Additionally, he proposes that impairments in autophagy may contribute to the development and progression of cancer. However, it's important to note that autophagy is a complex process with varying effects depending on the context, and more research is needed to fully understand its role in cancer and other diseases.

This is the first I am hearing that autophagy can actually hurt you if you already have cancer…thank you so much for this info!🙏🏻 Definitely doing as much autophagy as I can now while I am in a healthy state!😂🙌🏻
hmmm first time hearing fasting or autophagy helps cancer grow. ive read testimonies of people killing cancer by fasting for 2 weeks ect. and heard fasting also helps with chemo therapy side effects. hmmm.....
well, in internet you can find many totally oposit statements, because most of those "doctors" are just regular people, reading random sources of information and making videos.
@@ZmogusJaponija Well Dr. Berg himself has posted several videos affirming that autophagy indeed slows down and may even kill cancer cells. What changed?
@@RenaissanceBoss he have read something else :-) Also it is bit of play of words - maybe he means that AF can "eat" bad cells which are about to become cancerous, but when they become tumors - AF can enhance it. If you google autophagy and cancer - lots of reading on that with various hypothesis...
Im confused, I thought autophagy is activated through fasting and it is beneficial to killing cancer according to your previous videos but this video, you're saying the opposite. Can you please elaborate more on this? @Dr. Berg
Many N=1 stage 4 cancer survivors do 2-5 day fasts with success. If Dr Berg is going to take the (flip flop) position that autophagy now contributes to cancer progression, he at least needs to explain the driving mechanisms for tumor spread and progression. Also, nearly 100% of humans have some cancerous cells, but they are not progressing due to immune system response. A few thousand or a few hundred thousand cancerous (no longer using oxidative phosphorylation) may not be an issue for a healthy immune system. A few million or billion, progression of cancer is obviously more likely. However, again, the amount of N=1 stage 4 cancer survivors (10+ years) who claim fasting is key to survival CONTRADICTS Dr Bergs video. I like Dr Berg, but this video is poorly presented and under-explained. He needs to pull it and revise with a full scientific basis for his assertions.
This added to my confusion even more! I have stage 4 breast cancer and my oncologist says eat whatever and here are some chemicals to go with it. From everybody else I keep hearing “eat this-not that, plant based-carnivore, and now this… fast- don’t fast.” Looks like no one knows sh*t, and what works for some, doesn’t work for others. 😕
Autophagy help the body get rid of cancer cells. That is what I learned from earlier dr Berg videos. Fasting trigger autophagy which allows the body to get rid of damaged cells like cancer and use it as fuel.
i am glad that you made this video, because in the past you said that if someone has cancer, the first thing that they should do IS FAST FOR A LONG TIME, ABOUT 20 DAYS...
Hi Dr Berg, I saw some videos of cancer patients who recovered from cancer doing prolonged fasting and it had some relation to autophagy, according to them, why did it work in those occasions?
Your statement that "Autophagy helps cancer growth" is contrary to what other medical doctors and researchers (like Prof. Thomos Seyfried) are saying. Could you please provide some publications that supports the assertion that autophagy supports cancer growth?
I just love how they explain everything to us so we can understand them , and they make it fun so we don't get bored or distracted ( which happens to me very often) plus they are having fun to which is amazing. So thank you! You're amazing guys!
Dear dr. Berg please accept my thank for being so helpful .... You have been my unseen doctor since May 2000. During this period I have completely reversed my diebatics. I had some skin tags as a side effect of high sugar and recently they are all just gone. All I have been doing are fasting and HIIT . I have high cholesterol and my blood thick for some reason ....I hope you may help me to overcome this .... Thank you sir being so good for people❤❤ ❤❤
I just stuffed myself with a heavy evening meal, mostly well-balanced with protein, fat, and carbs. I got up during the night and was very thirsty probably due to the salt in the big meal. I'm drinking lemon water and will food fast for 15 hours. That's enough for me. Feels good.
I hope he’s not getting corrupted and is now telling us wrong information. Because he’s always said fasting recycles the cancer cells as well as many other doctors. Contradicting information makes me question the his intentions. I hope he’s not lying now to keep his channel from being demonetization.
I don’t understand! Dr Berg you have posted several prominent stories of people with stage 4 cancer who fasted 21 days and got rid of cancer. This video seems contradictory! Please help me understand.
Same for me, I feel confused. Even worse, many people 40+ may have undiscovered cancers in early stages, does it mean that autophagy can accelearte their growth?.. fuelling the cancer?
I am really confused now: if auotphagy can "fuel" cancer growth, why do you recommend fasting to beat cancer? There are Dr.Berg's videos recommending fasting for those who have cancer. Can somebody explain?
Dr Berg....... You say that autophagy can hurt you if you have cancer. I'm confused by this statement because when I watched your interview with the Frenchman who beat his cancer, he did it through a 21-day fast, which certainly would bring about autophagy, right? My understanding was that the cancer cells are essentially eaten up through the very process of autophagy. Was this not the case after all? Please clarify if you can. Thanks
@@trinityrising1877 And still no clarification from Dr Berg himself. We have officially entered into the bizarro world where up is down, black is white, and truth is now questioned. Strange times.
There was an interview on this channel with an elderly stage 4 cancer patient who said his cancer was cured in part from fasting, as well as garlic and broccoli. This video suggests autophagy is bad for cancer therapy, which is conflicting. What is the reason for the elderly gentleman’s cancer success?
You help people to take care of their bodies you show them the suitable ways to be in good health ..God bless you doctor..I m not very good in English but I try to understand more
…autophagy “helps” cancer? I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s accurate. There are current studies regarding chemotherapy, studying if it’s the actual chemotherapy helping fight cancer, or the lack of appetite-which triggers autophagy-or both working together.
@@Soul.Is.Willing I'm suggesting that autophagy does not provide a helpful situation for cancer to survive. One might use the expression that: "Autophagy is good for cancer", in the way that "a hot bath is good for aching backs", or "an umbrella is good for rain". I suggest that sometimes Dr Berg might be clearer in word-use especially with an international audience with variation in English usage and understanding of it's fine nuance and short hand usage. HTH.
I have stage 4 cancer and I do intermittent fasting every day. Since I started fasting, my cancer's gotten better. And I feel amazing now.
Sorry to hear you have stage 4☹️ Please pray for healing from our Lord Jesus daily. Please also look up metabolic therapy and Dr. Thomas N. Seyfried. He teaches Cancer Metabolism at Boston College. He makes total sense. I could listen to him all day, he's filled with so much knowledge and has been very successful with knocking out this disease. Also look up Fenbendazole and Joe Tippens and his protocol. Fascinating as well and Dr. Seyfried mentions this drug along with Mebendazole in his interviews also. Joe Tippens took Fenbendazole and healed his terminal cancer with it.
I heard soursop is good for that. Wish you all the best.
do long term fasting combined with sauna
rotate your diet, 3 days regular eating, 3 days keto, 3 days fasting
take probiotics prebiotics and postbiotics and colostrum
take nac and shilajit
take fiber and activated charcoal
I’m so confused dr. Berg has been an advocate for fasting and cancer now this.
What kind of cancer? have you tried heat and cold exposure?
Professor Seyfried says if you water fast for 30 days most cancers are eliminated from your body. My wife has stage 4 bowel cancer , terminal Blah blah blah. Standard of care did nothing . Started metabolic therapy in I’d January 2024 with a CEA of 30. 9 weeks in lymph nodes are normal tumour has greatly reduced. No pain. Walking 10k a day with dog. CEA now 4. Normal is 2.5. She fasts 5 days and eats 9 days. In her case Autophagy has only helped , otherwise she would be dead or have a higher CEA reading. We are not far off having no visible signs of cancer. Anyone wanting our plan or method feel free to ask. It’s not easy but works. Professor Seyfried’s advice has saved her life.
May I ask the plan your wife is on please. Sending prayers your families way- may she completely heal and return to an even better health than before.
Please post your wife's plan
Please send your wife's plan. My mom has stage 4 cervical cancer. Going to chemo weekly. Multiple side effects too.
Eagerly waiting
Send that plan please!
5:00 Fasting 18+ hrs
6:50 Low sugar, low carb
8:00 Dry fast, no food no water
10:30 Exercise
12:30 Cancer loves sugar
Thanks ❤
Thank you

Thanks
Try mashed up broccoli sprouts. After 15 minutes, supposedly, the shattered cells release chemicals the make sulforaphane, a natural insecticide. The first time I took it, all 15 of my moles quickly dried up and fell off. Got to be careful with fasting though, and a high fat diet, as some cancers eat fat, not sugar. Easy to find out what type yours consumes. This process is so powerful because ALL the potential sulforaphane is already in the seed. Greatest health benefit are in the sprouts, then the stalk, then the leaves, and finally there is a tiny residual amount in the florets. Be careful though as too munch can also trigger a psychotic break. Be by your self when you first take them, or better still, be with someone you want out of your life, permanently. Intermittent fasting is dangerous for people with a lot of comorbidities, and can trigger rapid cancer spread. The time to heal one self is RIGHT NOW, before it is too late.
I refuse to believe our brilliant bodies don't know how to kill cancer in hyper healing state. I know people who have had tremendous success with fasting and cancer reduction. We would all really appreciate a more elaborate discussion on autophagy suddenly making cancer worse, which vastly contradicts information from other videos. Thank you, I appreciate your videos. 🙏
Too many mixed messages from multiple sources
I agree I have only heard good things about autopgahy and reducing cancer. This is the first time I heard of it making it worse. Doesnt really make sense. Studies show that body attacks waste products during autophagy including tumors. There are many stories of people fasting and curing cancer. Please speak on this more elaborately. Doesn’t make sense.
maybe Doc Berg got "the phone
call"?@@lilkevinb
Im in total disbelief
I’m leaning torwards dr berg flipping on the idea of autophaygy cures cancers due to a lawsuit or possible lawsuits. I still think it’s the way to go.
I cannot tell you how much 1) Stopping sugar 2) 18:6 Intermittent fasting daily with a 4 day fast every 2 months plus 3) Regular weight lifting every other day has done to me, my blood work, physical appearance, attitude and confidence. This makes month 28 for me on this schedule with 52 pounds and 7 prescription medications missing from my life at age 61. Unrelated- Apparently there are some internet doctors out there who are butt sore about Dr. Bergs 11.2 million subscribers so they make a video trying to convince you they need more of your attention on health then his channel. Don't fall for it, there's a reason they only have 1 to 2% of the viewing audience.
I applaud you for the changes you've made to your health! Well done!
Congrats on your accomplishments! 52 lbs loss is amazing! And yes, I've seen those doctors attacking Dr Berg. I suspect they are bought and paid for by Pharma companies. Dr Berg is helping people be healthy (naturally) which is reducing their revenue! They view Dr Berg as a competitor and they're trying to take him out.
It's hard to change life style
Good for you.
I just turned 70 and although I have cheated too much , Dr Berg has a great following for a reason. He has a cool calm demeanor and does not throw a temper at others who criticize. In life as we know , no matter how many good things you do, you are gonna have the envy factor come back to hit you.
Yes it's good to seek others info and I have done that cause some things are not always perfect. So, I say keep on keeping on this journey. Cause it's the journey that matters as much if not more than the finish.
Wow! 56 here and I have been doing nearly EXACTLY what you list except I do a 3 day fast at the end of each month. I also do 18-6. The benefits are real.
Has your account been hacked?
Are you being blackmailed?
Are you in any danger?
Has youtube threatened to cancel your account?
You really need to explain this video for all the people who have cancer and have watched your prior cancer videos, where fasting for long periods of time was the main tool to beat cancer. ( I am referring to those two interviews with cancer survivors)
People need you man!
bullseye
Thinking the same thing. AI?
Just listen to Dr Thomas Siegfried.
Big pharma maybe lol
Yes im confused
Just completed a 9 day fast today. Lemon water, potassium, Magnesium and pink Himalayan sea salt. It was tough, and day 6 seems to be the worst each time. I do this every year. Always shooting for 10 days if possible
Well done Mike.
We do it for 30 days each year, in ramadan. No water, food, or any bad habits
@@nourghafarjithat’s not same as 9 day fast. Ramadan fast is dawn to dusk.
@@soloforce6187we fast between 12 to 18 hours, for 30 days, yes not the same, even better
Then I do Ramaden every day! I knew he was crazy bc the body cannot go without water for 30 days straight or 720 hrs.
To those of us with cancer.. Don't lose hope! Through all my research, it still seems that being healthy has many benefits. Also remember these are the same people who told us we would not spread COVID if we were vaccinated.
Ah I see some status quo individuals are barely waking up. Good luck on your journey.
I dearly respect Dr's knowledge and benefited from his info as a stage 4 breast cancer with metastatic bone cancer.
Bur nevertheless, at times i feel confused by all the updates he suggests amd this info is a major confusion.
Fasting has been proven solid to a good health and treating alignments i do long dry fasts hoping to control the spread.
I will do further research on this subject.
Take 8scoope Matcha consumtive needed authopagy in kanker to have release metabolism cell nothing braghh!!
Exactly who or when was it stated that getting vaccinated prevented people from actually contracting it ?
Mitigation of the severity of the symptoms was the information if one contracted the virus.
Edit: Re Covid
if you have cancer do some deep dive research on antineoplastons (AKA a viable cure for most cancer) only available in houston TX
I have a stage 4 hodkins lymphoma cancer. I have already had ABVD (chemo) last year and at the beginning of this year was told i have 3 swollen lymph nodes (cancerous); one lymph node i can physically feel on the left of my neck.
I didnt have a clue that traditional herbal medicine even existed for cancer before. Until i came accross Dr Bergs interviews with cancer patients and then i binge watched all his videos.
So, for the past 3 and a half months i have been doing either a 3,4 or 5 day prolonged fast each week. I havent quite got myself to doing longer than this yet but i do want to.
Some of these fasts have been dry fasts.
I have taken all the inhibitors Dr Berg reccomends (although i can increase my apigenin intake with extra greens).
When i eat, its usually cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower or broccoli with a small portion of protein.
I drink a herbal tea thrice a day with:
Dandelion root
Olive leaf
Soursop
Turmeric
Ginger
Pomegranate peel
Astragalus
Cleavers
Red clovers
Green tea
Cinnamon
Burdock root
Poke root
Nettle seeds
Hibiscus
Echinacea
Squeezed with lemon in the end
I also daily take around 5-6 cloves or garlic
Green smoothie with matcha, Swiss chard, cucumbers,lemon one day and the next day a red smoothie with beets, carrots and grapefruit
Also, have made an extract of lemon, orange and grapefruit peel. So, I take 2 tablespoons of that in the morning and evening now.
Twice a day i take a tablespoon of blackseed oil and apricot bitter kernels (2 in am and 2 in pm)
I start my morning with apple cider vinegar.
Initially my lymph node on the neck was around 3cm (determined after a PET scan) and it felt the same when i measured it with my fingers. After doing the above for about a month i felt it reduced drastically to around 1.5 cm.
But since ive had the virus/flu towards the end of my second month, i feel the size of the stagnant lymph node changes.. sometimes it seems enlarged and other times reduced.
Im still adament i dont want to go for another round of chemo. My oncologist, after my relapse suggested i take ICE chemo (which is stronger than ABVD), with a bone marrow transplant and immunotherapy. The effects of ABVD were destructive for me, im still suffering from a lot of damage internally including digestive problems and bone/joint weakness. So thats a no for me.
I will continue to persist with this route. Currently, am making an oil infused with poke root. Takes some weeks before this oil can be potent enough to dissolve cysts, tumors, stagnant lymph nodes, helps with psoriasis also. Will update once ive used this-excited about this.
All the herbs and supplements i use can be found in a link under my bio. This is what I've been using in my journey so far.
Edit: 6th June 2024
I received my PET scan results and they show the following:
1. Left supraclavicular lymphadenopathy (lymph node):
- Increased in size but decreased in FDG activity: The lymph node in the left supraclavicular region has grown larger, but its metabolic activity (FDG uptake) has decreased. This change may indicate a response to treatment or a decrease in inflammation.
2. Anterior mediastinal lymph node:
- Decreased in size and FDG activity: The lymph node in the front part of the chest has shrunk in size, and its metabolic activity has also decreased. Again, this could suggest a positive response to treatment or resolution of inflammation.
3. Spleen:
- Now normal in size: Previously, the spleen was enlarged, but it has returned to a normal size. This could indicate resolution of whatever condition was causing the enlargement.
4. No new lymphadenopathy identified: There are no new abnormal lymph nodes detected in the imaging studies.
Overall, these findings suggest positive changes, such as a reduction in the size and metabolic activity of affected lymph nodes, as well as normalization of spleen size.
I will continue my protocol to get the lymph node on my collar bone down in size and FDG activity too (God willing). I have also incorporated hijama (wet cupping) every month. It seems to be helping also.
Thank you for sharing and giving us an insight on how you manage your health and illness- it’s very strong of you to face and fight it , whilst acknowledging different types of food and herbal medicine- my father suffered cancer and realised that sugar was making it worse for him - so when he stopped taking refined and tempting processed food the cancer did not progress and he did not go for a second round of chemo - he felt better and would say that I don’t feel sick like I did many years ago - he incorporated herbal medication and it did work for him
Have you added lymph node clearing? Sending healing vibes to you!
hey. If you are referring to deep breathing exercises, rebounding, dry brushing, tapping, hot/cold showers, castor oil packs and lemon water; I am doing all of this daily as well as my herbal regimen.
So, my oncologist is on board with everything I'm doing now. He will PET scan me next month to see if my lymph nodes have reduced in size and SUV activity. He said if it's not grown I'd take that as a positive and my regimen as being the reason for the growth to stop. Also, he said it the SUV number has gone down which shows how hyper active the cancerous cells are- then that will also be a positive.
Praying for everyone's healing 🤲
Where do you find your teas and supplements?
So do we fast if we have cancer or not? At one point in the vid 3:23 he says that authophagy feeds cancer Im completely lost on what to do.....
Since I started watching Dr. Berg, I've actually been doing 22:2 intermittent fasting, which is basically OMAD. I've also been on keto for over 2 months, My energy is really high, and I've lost more than 12 pounds and have about 12 more to finally reach my goal weight. All of that without actually decreasing my calorie intake just introduced long walks and liifting weight as will.
If you only eat 2hrs a day I would think your calorie intake decreased drastically
I work out with several people, and I have just started speaking of a fasted workout. They can't imagine not eating and doing exercise. I am proof of it. They continually harp at how unhealthy it is to do that. I am the oldest in the group and certainly the healthiest. I eat meat, some dairy and an occasional serving of fermented foods, water, green tea.
I can lift weights, run, body weight exercises without hesitation. So I will continue to fast and stay on track. Thank you for this valuable information, Dr. Berg.
Pottenger's Human has a YT page and he is an awesome resource for fasting. He gets right to the point and has information that will blow your mind. Like you I love Dr Berg too so I bet you'll really enjoy watching Pottenger's Human. You keep doing what works for you and just let the naysayers keep seeing your proff. I'm on the other side of my life too and it's a much better life. Hope you find this helpful too. God bless you
Haha you can never make people understand that. I have been working out on fasting state for 10 years now. Even hit two competition on fasting state and i outperform everyone and myself.
People think the pre workout feed or supps they take gives them instant energy
I'm almost 50. I've been a gym shark since I was 18. The idea of eating before working out is absurd to me. And I've been following the science behind fasted workouts for decades as a nutrtionist. The benefits outweigh any negative by far!
Went all the way to second degree black belt fasting while training. Can no longer work out after eating anymore since I now know the difference in my performance
I always surf for up 2 to 3 hours never with a full stomach, only eat 1 meal a day no snacking am now 59 years old and have never felt better fasting is the key to a long healthy lifestyle
Dr. Berg You definitely must make another video now cause you got Us all worried with your statement about Cancer and Autophagy
Totally contradictory from what he said before and others say.
@@clarekuehn4372exactly, we’ve been told the autophagy process can HEAL cancer.
I’m concerned it’s duped as it is a contradiction with cancer. I would ignore that comment
Very confusing on what he says. Totally contradicts with his earlier statements and most other medical experts on this subject.
Wonder if he has any agenda behind.
@@preenaraheem7055 I would hate to think that, but he does have a line of fasting supplements.
Dear Dr. Berg, please clarify cancer versus autophagy for people, most of us are confused. My understanding is the following: everybody (that is healthy) has cancer cells to some degree, a healthy body is able to clear the cancer cells up naturally with its immune system. If the cancer cells group together and make another "organism", that is where the problem starts. The tumor now directly can connect to the metabolism of the body (through the blood vessels or through the lymphatic system) and what the person eats can also directly feed the tumor, too. In that sense, during autophagy what the body clears up and makes into fuel and energy, can also feed the tumor. In this case, that is why autophagy inhibitors could be beneficial, so the tumor fully starves without getting any energy at all. I would say, this still should be done carefully, because in this case the body itself is also starving big time, so just do it with care. (This theory would only make sense if the body feeds the tumor during autophagy as a priority over the body in general or if the tumor gets enough energy through autophagy.)
I’m very confused on this subject as well.
I had understood from Dr Berg previously that autophagy prevented cancer, and helped to kill present cancer cells.
If you read this Dr, could you clarify this?

Some studies have revealed that a high level of autophagy is observed in RAS-activating mutated cells, and cell survival is dependent on autophagy during nutrient starvation In addition, inhibition of autophagy-related protein enhances the accumulation of damaged mitochondria and decreases cell growth . These results indicate that autophagy plays an important role in cell survival of several tumors that depend on RAS activation.

I have an autoimmune disease so I had a prescription for it anyway but I was scared at first to take it when sick 🤦🏻♀️ I definitely felt it helping kick it out when I went back on it anyway. I'm sorry to break it to you but many "conspiracy theories" are actually true.
Dr Berg, would you PLEASE CLARIFY why you have changed your position on fasting and cancer. EVERYONE IS SO CONFUSED NOW. Please don't leave us hanging. MILLIONS of people have been listening to your advice on the subject and they TRUST and take actions on what you say. YOU MUST CLARIFY!
did he really?
Oh no. Now authopagy is dangerous if we already have cancer?
Yes, please explain why the change.
Yeah. I recall him saying that he told a guy with stage 4 cancer to fast straight away and it cured it, so its definitely confusing
Definitely he's pressured to say that. And most definitely Autophagy works!
Going to add myself on to Dr Berg's sucess list. A1c was 6.4 beginning of July, now just tested 5.6. Intermittent fasting, low carb, not too much protein. Lots of weight training.
Awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing!
I always understood if you have cancer then the prolonged fasting will help to starve off the cancer… now it is the opposite? Remember the French guy who had colon cancer? He survived first fasting for almost a month…
Exactly!! And "high protein" also? Guy (the Frenchman) fasted but then ate carnivore. Very confusing.
I am also confused now to be honest…
Yeah I thought that too based on Dr.Berg's previous videos however he's saying the opposite in this video. I'm confused. Please clarify Dr.Berg
You previously had videos promoting prolonged fasting to fight cancer. Now your are saying the opposite. Please clarify this.
I can’t think that carnivore would be helpful for colon cancer
Please clarify the link between autophagy and reduced cancer per the videos you posted before, Dr. Berg.
Conflicting information
RALLY for a video on this!
Read Dr Bozworth’s first book about her mother’s “terminal” cancer reversed by keto diet and fasting.
Research on autophagy continues. You understand that.
Something is not right here. He must have been frightened off. The despots do not want us fasting s they will be without their alleged power an control.
With all respect. Dr Berg needs to explain his change of main about autophagy and cancer as per his many previous videos.
I'm Sooo confused now!
I agree. What happens with starving cancer?
He must be under some sort of pressure.@@janesta786
may be some pressure from the medical mafias
I hope he isn’t paid by food or drug companies
We need a part two video on why you have completely changed your mind on cancer and fasting!!!!
Absolutely agree with you...why he is not give an answer.. lots of people are confused...they have cancer and were uncuraged to do fasting and keto because helped a lot ...and now he said contradictory
@@nicknick615 I have trusted berg for many many years.... this makes wonder if I still can, which is unfortunate
@@laceyrushworth9823
I pray and hope he will come with a video explaining what cancer patients needs to do to starve cancer cells
Big Pharma industry probably reached out. If people are healing themselves with fasting there will be less people running to their Dr’s office for treatments of all sorts. Just a thought.
Exactly! He will avoid the contradiction.
This works. I did rolling 72 hours and literally lost over 50 pounds and my A1C took me out of being pre-diabetic state. Which was awesome! Dr. Berg keep up the information.

Day 21 done on my waterfast, i have another 19d to go. Wish me luck i have only 10.9kg to lose to hit my WLG, but the benefit im hoping for is skin tightening and reverse aging 😅
Dr. Berg, please clarify the topic about autophagy and cancer.
Dr Berg! If autophagy and cancer do not go together, what is a person supposed to do for fasting?
This video is scaring a lot of people who have cancer. They are believing and continues to do so that some type of intermittent fasting will help slow down or stop the cancer progression.
Everyone needs you to follow up on this as soon as possible. It's been 3 months since this video posted so we need to know now!
I hope hes isn’t paid by food or drug companies

Me too, I am confused too.
I’m doing a fast right now for my cancer surgery. I’ve done a 23 day, 14 day, and countless 3-5 day fasts. Going for 5 days this time, but Walter Longo’s research says 3 days is plenty. Yay for autophagy!
Did you watch this video completely? What he says about autophagy increasing the growth of cancer? No need to answer but just think you should know since you actually have cancer.
@@brendathomas7173 yes and it’s confusing because it’s the opposite of what he has said before. Thanks m not worried. But I would hope he can explain how autophagy feeds cancer.
I’m extremely confused too. I had started fasting because of this channel for cancer. Because he has said in earlier videos that fasting helps. I do a 72 hour fast every week with chemo just like Fred did and also the book keto for cancer mentions it. I really hope he clarifies this point!
@@nimitaw1167 Hi Nimita💚 I think you are doing great and wish you improved health beyond what you’ve ever had🙏🏽 I did a quick Google search and there are research articles at least since 2018 that say autophagy can basically fight and feed cancer. What I read was far too scientific for me to understand and I might show it to my oncologist. So all I can say is keep going 🙏🏽 I’m a fan of Paleomedicina. Dr. Berg has an interview with Paleomedicina’s founder Zsofia Clemens. They are able to keep you on a diet that mimics water fasting. They have great success with many diseases including cancer. I found them to be affordable to work with, also. Anyhow… don’t freak out! But I do agree… Dr. Berg needs to explain more because he has been preaching the exact opposite for a long time now. He said in many of his videos: “If I found out I had cancer, I would immediately do a 21 day water fast at the minimum.” So I hope he can give us a more nuanced explanation of his latest information.
But this is contrary to what Dr Berg is saying in this video. In confused by this because what you're saying is what I always thought to be true and makes sense.
I'm so happy I have access to these videos at the age of 30, I get to live in an age where things like cancer and dementia are optional because of the access to information that I have.
I utilize a combination of dry and water fasting with aerobic excersize to extend my health span! Thank you Dr. Berg

You're right. The doctor has many followers all over the world. In particular from Russia. This is the Great Doctor of all nations!!!
Weird ... Why is there not even a single answer from Dr. Berg below here, regarding this worry (about the topic : autophagy-cancer) spreading in the comment section ? To clarify or specify what is necessary.
All the other materials we can find on the internet so far about this topic vastly states autophagy helps to starve cancer cells, therefore being a tool in curing it. The outcome may vary according to individuals and multiple factors obviously, but still the knowledge about it is pretty consensual.
Why not answering to the question raised because of this video ? That is what is not understandable.
This is very confusing! I thought fasting was good for starving cancer. Come on!
Im confused as well. Ive never seen Dr Berg promote a medicine either. Hopefully big pharma hasnt got to him... He has videos talking about how fasting kills cancer cells. Multiple studies showing this including the Monroe Institute.
I’ve been fasting over three years now and eat low carb. I haven’t been sick since I started.
Same here except for a short bout with Covid a few summers ago. It’s the best lifestyle
How old are you,you look amazing!
I was diagnosed with stage IV adenocarcinoma in 2019. Your videos have helped a lot. What's frustrating for me is, every time I get to a point where there is no sign of cancer, a new (as in one singular) lesion appears. I hope you could make a follow up video or newsletter article on this topic for those of us fighting the good fight! Blessings!

Hi, I need help to understand this. In previous videos Dr berg has said that fasting and autophagy helps fight stage IV cancer. In this video he has contradicted that autophagy can promote cancer. Have you done autophagy and does it help in stage IV cancer
@@casanjeevgargam also confused
Me too my sister has ovarian cancer and we'd started her on intense fasting to fight cancer but after hearing Dr berg saying autophagy aids cancer I'm very confused again
@@casanjeevgargI was waiting on someone else to point this out. I thought I was the only one who noticed. His previous videos about fasting gave me so much. Hope but I started doing research and saw exactly what he is saying. Now that contradicts his original statements. In my research, research, I read multiple medical journals and he is correct. It helps AND hurts. It just depends on specific conditions such as your cancer/ disease type and mutations and progression. Your best bet is to do your own research based off of what's in your medical chart.
You know how much Doctors never tell patients about Autophagy!
Dr. Berg is absolutely humanitarian awesome for sharing thus invaluable health and wellness information/education!
Except that now he states that fasting was bad for cancer, which is the opposite he said in the past.
Dr. Eric Berg DC can you please do another video on Cancer and Fasting..a lot of people and I are very confused, THANK YOU in advance. 🙏🏼
Did he address this contradiction anywhere? I have stage 2 cancer and had to immediately stop a fast after 3 days because of this
I’m confused I thought fasting helps cancer he has others that have fasted with cancer and it helped them starve the cancer cells I’m confused
If you're trying to lose weight just be careful with prolonged fasting including doing OMAD. I did OMAD a few months ago for 14 days straight and my weight loss came to a screeching halt (and I was still exercising - running and lifting weights). Doing OMAD or even 20:4 can lower your BMR (metabolism). It sure did for me. I work with a R.D. who confirmed this can and DOES indeed happen with many people. My sweet spot is 18:6. Doing that I am continuing to lose weight and still getting some autophagy. Again, I am only talking about people who are trying to lose weight. If you are at your ideal weight (many people are not) then obviously this doesn't apply. I have about 10 more pounds to go.
Also, I still don't feel you need to do strict keto. I don't. I have been doing Adkins this year (when you compare the % breakdown of fats/proteins/carbs between Adkins and keto, Adkins is higher protein and not as much fat as keto is.....both are low carb but (strict) keto is crazy low carb). It has worked for me: I lost 40 lbs in 7 months this year. I am 5'8" and now weigh under 180. Started out at 220. I'm 53 years old. I'm off my statin, no longer need to wear a CPAP machine because I have reversed my sleep apnea and I also lowered my A1C from 5.8 to 5.2. Triglycerides are way down, HDL way up, vLDL cut in half.
Alternate day fasting is best of both worlds
Yeah I think im with U on dat I tend to eat 6 & fast 18 & when Ur Carnieto U just cant stuff the food in excess!
Dr. Mindy Pelz.. changing your fast
@@cougarcandy921 Yep I have actually watched a video of hers where she says to NOT do OMAD every day. In the same video she says it is absolutely fine to do it once in a while but not every day.
I'm curious to hear from where your get confirmation of autophagy ?
You interviewed someone with cancer who fasted over 40 days and became cancer free. I'm confused.
Yes me too.. I recently had a hormone positive breast cancer tumor removed and am skipping all conventional treatments and wanting to incorporate fasting. Thought this was a good thing???
Yes makes no sense
Yeah I rewatched the video because he contradicted himself from other videos so yeah I’m confused also
My understanding of it is that if you were just going to do the normal intermittent fasting then you are feeding the cancer cells every time you break the fast. But once you go on to a prolonged fast like a 40 day fast, your body would not be constantly fueled so it has no choice but to get rid of those cancer cells as well.
@@jentran2713 but that’s not what he has said or is saying
Hi Dr. Berg… I always appreciate every video and all of your effort. However, I’m a little confused on the autophagy and cancer topic.… I really haven’t done keto for all that long… Started end of June of this year… So five solid months and I have lost 40 pounds. Feeling better but definitely cortisol and stress are still holding on extremely in my life but I’m battling.… Have more than a handful of your supplements and just learning all the time. So thank you.
I would really and humbly request more information on the autophagy/cancer topic as I have finally gotten up the nerve to embark on a three day fast. Looking forward to it though I haven’t started it but I’ll definitely do that during this month of December. Also, what happened to the whiteboard! … I love the bullet points in the background as you go through the various numbers of what you are teaching us. That teaching tool is awesome and I hope you don’t lose it for the same background that this video shows continually. Anyway… That seemed a little off in this video so just wanted to give you some well-meaning feedback. Have a good weekend.
Yes, something is really, really off about this. Is it AI? I hope he gives an explanation.
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing your knowledge with the world. I understood Intermittent Fasting from your videos and have lost over 8kgs, healed from my gut issues following your guideline. Thank you so much.
All his interviews that he's done people have cured cancer through fasting
He is trying not to "commit suicide" like all the other doctors that have discovered a cure.
@@UnpluggedHealthso is this video nonsense then, coz I’ve done a lot of extreme fasting and lost my body, based on him saying to do it to beat cancer and now he’s saying autophagy makes it worse! 😳 Surely he didn’t just sabotage us!
I was recently diagnosed with CLL. Your blanket statement regarding cancer is astounding as you are a professional and your voice/data/information carries weight in the community.
According to research: "Autophagy in blood cancers: biological role and therapeutic implications" (see ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), there is great promise and good results from this mechanism of treatment. As I am under the care of a hematologist, the team has been informed and know of my decision regarding fasting to autophagy. Also, as I am scheduled to have blood work frequently there is a measure of "watch and see" installed.
Again, I usually don't have issues with your information; however, please be aware that not all cancers are the same and not all modes of treatment to be generalized.
Dr Berg, I have been following you for years and you seemed to be making a lot of sense until today. Why are there a very significant number of commenters including me scratching their head with this advice which goes against what you have been saying in the past regarding fasting, autophagy and cancer. Many of us below thought the advice was that fasting eliminated sugar as a fuel source which cancer needed to survive (Also see Dr Seyfried regarding this same topic and all his research into cancer). I think you need to address this contradiction. I notice in the comments you mainly seem to reply to comments to thank people for their praise of you. Maybe some interaction with commenters concerns maybe more appropriate. If we, your followers are saying wtf is this turn around in advice then I hate to imagine what your detractors will make of it.
Agreed. Though of course, we still have to remove sugar out of the equation, cancer or not.
Totally agree with all you said . And I also notice in comments it's only ones that that give him praise and stroke his ego get a like .
Absolutely@@experimenthealthyketo83
I agree. I’m confused as well. Someone pleeeeze clarify.
I 100% agree with you. Dr Berg is confusing and his explanation does not make sense.
Dr Berg, I have followed your content religiously for a very long time now…WTF?!?!?!? I was under the understanding that autophagy was good for cancer (Guy and Fred for instance?!?!). Could you please come out with a video explaining this…I thought I was doing the right thing!!😡. You sir are starting to sound like BIG PHARMA!!!!!! Pleas help us who have cancer…thank you!
Thomas Seyfried has discussed autophagy in the context of cancer treatment. He suggests that promoting autophagy through dietary interventions like fasting or ketogenic diets may help in cancer therapy by enhancing the destruction of cancerous cells. Additionally, he proposes that impairments in autophagy may contribute to the development and progression of cancer. However, it's important to note that autophagy is a complex process with varying effects depending on the context, and more research is needed to fully understand its role in cancer and other diseases.
Have not heard about autophagy encouraging cancer. Cancer cells are consumed through autophagy, it made weaker
.see dr valtor Longo re longevity experiment . My question is are stems cells for cancer also made when stem cells of normal cells are made?
Big pharma got to him. I wonder if he was paid off or threatened.
I’m a big fan Dr. Berg but I have to admit, now I’m confused concerning people with cancer as you say, that autophagy is not good in that case.
Can you do an updated video on what you recommend for someone who has cancer?
Many thanks
T
He used to say "the best strategy against cancer is fasting & autophagy" and now he says the opposite, and promotes drugs in a sneaky way?, how disappointing Dr Berg.....
Exactly the guy don't knw what he is speaking 🤦🏽
If mitochondria from cancer cells are used to build new cells during fasting, they will have the same issues that caused cancer elsewhere. However since cancers cant burn ketones, dialing back carbs and glutamine and replacing a lot of the calories with MCTs or other healthy fats and dialing total caloric intake to about 80% of what a healthy person should eat will starve the cancer out over tine, which is also a type of fasting.
I always thought that autophagy helps kill cancer cells. This is new to me regarding autophagy helping cancer. I remember reading of several people fasting for 3 weeks which killed their stage 3 cancer. Now I'm confused.
It does
Don't be confused 😅 Dr Berg is confused 😅
I totally agree with you. Dr Berg has many times in his past videos preached that autophagy and fasting helps kill cancer cells. He has even had several interviews with people who cured their cancer thru autophagy and fasting. But now he's saying the total opposite. I'm very confused.
Yes u right …I’m very confused too…..😢
It does kill the cancer cells. But if you have cancer already it is adding fuel to the fire.
perhaps he got feed back from people with cancer whose health degraded after fasting and he is exercising caution now ?
I’m really confused. What about the people who had cancer who we’ve seen interviews with and have achieved great success with fasting?
Exactly
Wondering the same as well. I hope he can clarify.
Yeah, just commented on this. I thought he said before that autophagy starves the cancer.... Wth
Same here. Last time I watch video that says fasting and autophagy helps killed the cancer cell. Now it the opposite that autophagy increased increased the growth of cancer cell?
That's what i hate.
They say smthg and after sometimes they say the opposite.
Now what are we suppose to understand 🤔😠
Dr. Berg,
Many comments are saying you are now contradicting your comment on autophagy and growing cancer. Other videos say it helps. I think many are confused now. Please elaborate.
I’m confused why is autophagy bad for cancer when a guy fasted for 45 days and got rid of his stage 4 cancer?
Confused😢
Same here. Dr. Berg interviewed Guy Tennebaum who fasted his way to health from a terminal stage 4 diagnosis. Confused….
@@we_the_people207if I were you guys I would just stick to the original video information from guy tannenbaum and Fred Everett I believe Mr Dr Berg has been compromised
Fasting is very good for cancer Thomas siegfried's work
Im the reading the comments and I think everyone needs to experiment, for themself, to get desired outcomes. I have 2 types of cancer, of course I had to chemo and you know the rest. But Dr. Berg can't address every type of cancer, NO ONE CAN. Only you will know, if this is good for you. I wish all the illness disappear. And health to everyone in this year. Go for it. We have nothing to lose. I thank Dr. Berg for addressing the nutrient aspect, my docs never commit to this type of conversation. It's not their arena. Dr. Berg IS the guinea pig, and then he shares. Thank you!
I to am a bit confused about earlier episodes where we were told fasting autophogy was the best way to kill cancer cells now being told it can do the reverse . As someone who lost my right kidney to a cancerous tumour i do all i can to prevent its recurrence. And after listening to the interview with the frenchman a while ago i started on a 3 day fast to start with only to find out this information on the second day of the fast when listening to an autophogy expert on another you tube channel say the say thing . So not knowing if i actually still might have other cancer growing that i didnt know about i stopped immediately. The thing i found out about cancer after having it happened to myself was i never knew i had cancer in me . I was told later after removal of the kidney that the category 1 type cancer i had being a slow growing tumour could have started 4 to 5 years earlier and i was totally unaware till sharp pains in my mid back started appearing . So what im saying is even people who think they are cancer free should be very careful if this is true about autophogy and cancer . You expect conflicting information from one expert to the next but not from the one expert .Cheers
Exactly!!
I am a long time follower, if atophogy benefits cancer, you need to explain how the 21 day fast eliminates cancer. Confusing.
As a truck driver, doing healthy keto is difficult with food choices available on the road. But have been doing one meal a day for years.
You are doing great 👍 continue the best you can with grass fed meats if you can.
Autophagy supposedly increasing cancer sounds strange to me. As there are studies about intermittent fasting, that helps against cancer.
I was scratching my head on that one too. I've been watching Jeff De Prosperis, who has Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and he routinely does long fasts. He just came off of another 8 day fast, getting ready for his latest update scan. I found out about him from Kerry Mann of HomeSteadHow. Jeff also is a strict carnivore, which seems to help fight cancer as you're not giving the body any glucose for the cancer to use.
I have watched interviews with Dr Berg from people who have fasted to pull back from stage 4 cancer. I don't get it. 🤔🤷♀️
Right! I've seen other videos from doctors that say differently. One recommended fasting before chemo to help.
His meaning fasting work to prevent cancer if you are healthy....but if you have cancer already fasting can either trigger more the cancer by the fatigue...
Yeah, that makes no sense to me. Cancer feeds off of glucose, what is being broken down is damaged cells etc. Cancer would not utilize broken down proteins = amino acids.
To get into autophagy, one has to fast which means not eating. Not eating would include carbs and sugars that cancer cells need for energy.
Autophagy should starve cancers, not help them grow.
Dr Berg should be given Secret Service Protection 24/7 He is more important then those people, He is saving lives and educating us at no cost. Thank you and God Bless you.Yeah benefited from your videos and today I'm more educated then Dr Fauci, Thanks to you.
Let's say your dr F is a nasty, unethical docter.
If he gets SS protection then he has to bow to the rules that would allow that. I get what you’re saying…
lol. No no. None of us are “more educated” than Saint dr. Science himself.😆 By Gods grace, there’s decent people like Dr Berg that helps the public with a much better understanding of diet and nutrition. He is providing workable solutions to weight loss and health. I really appreciate Dr Berg, and others like him. ❤️🙏🏼
God bless you my friend… Great comment ☺️
I have been fasting Ramadan since I was seven years old. I feel my body much stronger during long hours of fasting.
That's great. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Hi Dr. Berg, you just confused us with Autophagy and Cancer. Please make one more video on it for clarification.
I'm confused too!!!
Oh in this broken medical system of USA you have been literally a life saver for me. I follow your advice and i certainly see my stomach and gut health improving so much more than before. I used to be so sick but i all i had to do was not eat for certain hours of the day 😊
I can't imagine autophagy helping cancer... And this is the first I've heard of it.
I’m confused, I thought you said you should fast to treat cancer, but now you’re saying autophagy makes it worse?
Well fasting can help with cancer treatment by starving them from sugar and makes chemotherapy treatment work better. To clear the air, autophagy is only an effect of fasting which can help cancer cells grow more because Autophagy provides them with energy and other building blocks just like it does to our healthy cells. If one with cancer is able to fast without activating or promoting high levels of autophagy, then that could solve the equation
@@Billy_Gee i thought the whole idea of autophagy, was that it got rid of any unwanted cells aka cancer cells by self eating and why it was effective in healing? How would you monitor high levels of autophagy? Plus, if you’re taking a holistic approach without chemo then fasting wouldn’t be ideal. Not sure why dr berg didn’t make that clear in the previous videos and only said do prolonged fasting! Wish he’d explained before that it’s only good with chemo, as I did what he said and ruined my body for nothing, sabotaged my efforts. It’s so confusing what advice to follow.
@@jgoodwin977 emm actually the truth is that prolonged fasting is different from intermittent fasting even tho both induce autophagy. To clear the air further, autophagy only eliminates pre cancerous cells (cells that are overly damaged and have potential of being cancerous but not yet cancerous) through the process of apoptosis. Autophagy does not eliminate cancer cells please take note. The right type of fasting for people with cancer is the prolonged fasting of at least a week and further. In this case , even though autophagy occurs and might be beneficial to cancerous cells because cancer cells are proven to be smart and provide them with more energy like it does to healthy cells , prolonged fasting creates an environment that it starves them of required nutrients and energy for them to grow for an extended period that even if autophagy occurs those cancer cells don't have the resources(sugar or energy) to grow further and then the tumor suppresses till it is very very tiny and everything disappears.
The effects are so positive and can prevent a lot of diseases because as we age , our autophagy levels reduces which creates room for bad cells to grow if not cleansed and cause havoc to the body
Remember what makes fasting help treat cancer is the ability to deprive cancer cells of required nutrients to survive through prolonged fasting and not through autophagy that fasting causes and also not through intermittent fasting .
@@jgoodwin977 yes
@@jgoodwin977 hey did u see my reply?
I can't love this doctor anymore than I already do. He is like my hero along with two others that I watch on UA-cam. Thank God for them

Most people don't know they have cancer right away - so this is kind of scary information for those of us who are striving for regular autophagy.
I thought fasting was good for fighting cancer??? there are so many videos that say long term fasting when someone already has cancer. Dr. Berg posted videos of a man who reversed cancer and he fasted, so I'm confused now
Well, Dr. Berg can not say what he knows, he should say on this platform. We know otherwise
Dr. Berg said that fasting (autophagy) creates food for cancer. 😑 Maybe he can't say more than that. Directs us to his website.

@@brendathomas7173 have you actually ready my comment?
@@Conquistador2000 this response has me baffled, It literally makes no sense
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 🧬 *Introduction to Autophagy*
- Autophagy is a natural process where the body self-cleans and recycles damaged proteins and organelles.
- Autophagy helps remove pathogens and viral antigens, reducing inflammation and promoting anti-aging.
- Sugar and excessive protein intake can inhibit autophagy.
03:11 ⚖️ *Autophagy and Cancer*
- Autophagy can both protect against and promote cancer depending on the context.
- Inhibiting autophagy may be used as an anti-cancer strategy, such as with hydroxychloroquine.
- Research is exploring non-toxic autophagy inhibitors for cancer treatment.
05:14 🕒 *Fasting and Autophagy*
- Fasting is the most potent way to trigger autophagy by depleting energy reserves.
- The duration of fasting needed for significant autophagy varies but typically starts around 18 hours.
- Low sugar and low protein diets can accelerate autophagy during fasting.
08:28 💧 *Water Fasting and Dry Fasting*
- Dry fasting (no food or water) can intensify autophagy, but it should be approached cautiously.
- Controlled dry fasting, such as fasting without water for part of the night, can offer benefits.
- Burning fat releases water, so hydration isn't entirely cut off during fasting.
10:30 🏋️♀️ *Exercise and Autophagy*
- Both aerobic and resistance exercises stimulate autophagy, with aerobic exercise being more effective.
- Combining intermittent fasting with exercise can enhance autophagy.
- Building muscle and autophagy can be conflicting goals, but both have their benefits.
11:56 🍞 *Reducing Carbs and Protein*
- Lowering carbohydrate intake and moderating protein consumption can boost autophagy.
- Reducing carbs limits the need to burn stored sugars during fasting, speeding up autophagy.
- Moderate protein intake ensures the body continues recycling old proteins during fasting.
12:53 🌿 *Natural Inhibitors of Autophagy*
- Some natural compounds like stony sponge, apigenin, curcumin, black cumin seed, thunder of GodVine, and retinol are researched for their potential to inhibit autophagy.
- These inhibitors may be considered for cancer treatment, as cancer cells thrive on autophagy.
- Research is ongoing, and these inhibitors may have potential for low-side-effect treatments.
14:05 📣 *Stay Informed*
- Due to content restrictions, access all information on Dr. Berg's website by subscribing to the newsletter.
- Ensuring access to valuable information about autophagy and related topics.

Great job on the breakdown!🤩
Although I must say I really hope the turmeric thing is not true because I was told it helps with the detoxification, inflammation and meditative aspects when combined with neem. So I’ve been starting my day with those for over a yr now😫

Thanks for the summary! 😎
@@debbiereyes1688 The the extension that made it, it's free and incredible, HARPA AI
Mr. Berg - you are a great man. Just got done with a 72hr lemon water fast. Now I'm going to try a 24 hour dry fast and compare my thoughts. Hope you have a great week.
I love you Dr. B', but I thought autophagy gets rid of cancer. This is the first I've heard that it can promote cancer. Please do a video explaining this in detail.
I can tell you where I think this is going. I've read some very long and boring studies where it is claimed autophagy increases cancer. I'll spare you all the ways they word it HOWEVER... what the study implies is that autophagy from medical intervention with drugs is great for Cancer but you doing it naturally is not 🙄. I don't think I need to explain further what this all means
And I will be posting this comment to a few more people here in case you see it. I'm not re typing it again lol
I don’t rely completely on any study after seeing all the lies that have been told to us, especially in the medical field.
Didn't you do a video where you said if you got diagnosed with cancer you would immediately start fasting?
I am so CONFUSED dr Berg! I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 1.5 year ago, I tried prolonged fasting for 15 days, then keto and intermittent, then prolonged again etc. Have watched Dr Berg's all relevant videos, including the ones he interviewed Guy and Fred who claimed they cured cancer through prolonged fasting and more. I had prostatectomy in the end as my diet did not cure me and all seems ok till now. However I am very very confused as to what I should do - it's the first time I hear from dr Berg that autophagy makes cancer worse. I would appreciate an explanation!
Did fasting and keto diet at least slow down the growth of the cancer? How are you feeling now?
So, does fasting cure cancer? or is it detrimental to cancer, as your new video seems to indicate? Thanks for clarifying.
I have the same question when he was discussing the paradox, he is suggesting that when you already have a cancer, reaching autophagy (which is when you fast) would progress the growth cancer that is already in the body.
Why would you want to inhibit (slow down) autophogy? This part is confusing. The definition of inhibit is to slow down or prevent an action.
Apparently autophagy make cancer cells grow faster
Wait just a minute Dr. Berg 🛑 what about the gentlemen that have been interviewed that had stage 4 colon cancer, stage 4 lung cancer??? DIDN'T they get rid of their cancer by doing a complete water fast.?
Didn't that cause a great deal of autophagy to happen to them and did their cancer get fed?
NO indeed their cancer WENT AWAY😮 So what about those testimonies of real life people?
And not just reading research but real life people that have experienced the opposite of what you are now telling us?😮
Please explain yourself!!❤
After five hours He's not responded to this overwhelming confusion!
Dr. Berg, it would be great to hear your views on Professor Thomas Seyfried's work that provides clinical evidence that cancer is a metabolic disease that may be treated by severely restricting and inhibiting glucose and glutamine and in doing so starve cancer cells. Fasting and diet would seem to be key parts to such a metabolic treatment.
Thomas Seyfried has discussed autophagy in the context of cancer treatment. He suggests that promoting autophagy through dietary interventions like fasting or ketogenic diets may help in cancer therapy by enhancing the destruction of cancerous cells. Additionally, he proposes that impairments in autophagy may contribute to the development and progression of cancer. However, it's important to note that autophagy is a complex process with varying effects depending on the context, and more research is needed to fully understand its role in cancer and other diseases.

This is the first I am hearing that autophagy can actually hurt you if you already have cancer…thank you so much for this info!🙏🏻 Definitely doing as much autophagy as I can now while I am in a healthy state!😂🙌🏻
hmmm first time hearing fasting or autophagy helps cancer grow. ive read testimonies of people killing cancer by fasting for 2 weeks ect. and heard fasting also helps with chemo therapy side effects. hmmm.....
well, in internet you can find many totally oposit statements, because most of those "doctors" are just regular people, reading random sources of information and making videos.
@@ZmogusJaponija Well Dr. Berg himself has posted several videos affirming that autophagy indeed slows down and may even kill cancer cells. What changed?
@@RenaissanceBoss he have read something else :-) Also it is bit of play of words - maybe he means that AF can "eat" bad cells which are about to become cancerous, but when they become tumors - AF can enhance it. If you google autophagy and cancer - lots of reading on that with various hypothesis...
I'm confused too!!!
Im confused, I thought autophagy is activated through fasting and it is beneficial to killing cancer according to your previous videos but this video, you're saying the opposite. Can you please elaborate more on this? @Dr. Berg
Hahaah some voodoo stuff
That’s not dr berg it’s an
AI , I thought he was censored it was the first video in my feed . This is such a contradiction!
I'm confused!!!
@missblack8810 if that us true, why doesn't he tell us?
I thought you said in other videos Autophagy gets rid of cancer
Doctor berg please Clear this up. This does not go with your other videos On fasting, autopagyy and cancer.
Dr Berg
I just watched the video again, i thought autophagy starves cancer cells as u mentioned in previous videos..kindly clarify
I’m confused too have u figured it out yet
Many N=1 stage 4 cancer survivors do 2-5 day fasts with success. If Dr Berg is going to take the (flip flop) position that autophagy now contributes to cancer progression, he at least needs to explain the driving mechanisms for tumor spread and progression. Also, nearly 100% of humans have some cancerous cells, but they are not progressing due to immune system response. A few thousand or a few hundred thousand cancerous (no longer using oxidative phosphorylation) may not be an issue for a healthy immune system. A few million or billion, progression of cancer is obviously more likely. However, again, the amount of N=1 stage 4 cancer survivors (10+ years) who claim fasting is key to survival CONTRADICTS Dr Bergs video. I like Dr Berg, but this video is poorly presented and under-explained. He needs to pull it and revise with a full scientific basis for his assertions.
This added to my confusion even more! I have stage 4 breast cancer and my oncologist says eat whatever and here are some chemicals to go with it. From everybody else I keep hearing “eat this-not that, plant based-carnivore, and now this… fast- don’t fast.”
Looks like no one knows sh*t, and what works for some, doesn’t work for others. 😕
If autophagy increase cancer growth, it means fasting increase the cancer rate for healthy ppl as well
Yes, as it has been researched that we develope malignant cells all of the time, and our immune system normally takes care of them.
I sh.t cancer cells when fasting 🙂
Dr Berg, please explain cancer and autophagy clearly. You said that fasting helps cancer. Now it's otherwise? You are not consistent..
He talks about autophagy helping to prevent cancer, but if you already have cancer, autophagy can aid the tumor growth.
@@northernidealist Nope, he said before that autphagy prevents tumor growth and cancer..
Disagree for the first time with the DR on autophagy and it helping cancer.
I'm confused myself.
Autophagy help the body get rid of cancer cells. That is what I learned from earlier dr Berg videos. Fasting trigger autophagy which allows the body to get rid of damaged cells like cancer and use it as fuel.
Totally agreed with you...
But in this video he said totally something different...
i am glad that you made this video, because in the past you said that if someone has cancer, the first thing that they should do IS FAST FOR A LONG TIME, ABOUT 20 DAYS...
I'm confused!!!
I'm confused?
Why would autophagy be bad for cancer? What about Dr. Nasha Winters who survived stage 4 cancer by fasting 17 days?
Im confused myself.
Hi Dr Berg, I saw some videos of cancer patients who recovered from cancer doing prolonged fasting and it had some relation to autophagy, according to them, why did it work in those occasions?
Your statement that "Autophagy helps cancer growth" is contrary to what other medical doctors and researchers (like Prof. Thomos Seyfried) are saying. Could you please provide some publications that supports the assertion that autophagy supports cancer growth?
I just love how they explain everything to us so we can understand them , and they make it fun so we don't get bored or distracted ( which happens to me very often) plus they are having fun to which is amazing. So thank you! You're amazing guys!
Dear dr. Berg please accept my thank for being so helpful .... You have been my unseen doctor since May 2000. During this period I have completely reversed my diebatics. I had some skin tags as a side effect of high sugar and recently they are all just gone. All I have been doing are fasting and HIIT . I have high cholesterol and my blood thick for some reason ....I hope you may help me to overcome this .... Thank you sir being so good for people❤❤ ❤❤
Just got done with a 7 day lemon water fast. Dropped 16 pounds. And it was hard to get through, but I feel good as I ever have before.
So why lemon water
I just stuffed myself with a heavy evening meal, mostly well-balanced with protein, fat, and carbs. I got up during the night and was very thirsty probably due to the salt in the big meal. I'm drinking lemon water and will food fast for 15 hours. That's enough for me. Feels good.
I hope he’s not getting corrupted and is now telling us wrong information. Because he’s always said fasting recycles the cancer cells as well as many other doctors. Contradicting information makes me question the his intentions. I hope he’s not lying now to keep his channel from being demonetization.
???What just happened here???
SUS!
I feel the same.
I don’t understand! Dr Berg you have posted several prominent stories of people with stage 4 cancer who fasted 21 days and got rid of cancer. This video seems contradictory! Please help me understand.
Yes I agree
Same for me, I feel confused. Even worse, many people 40+ may have undiscovered cancers in early stages, does it mean that autophagy can accelearte their growth?.. fuelling the cancer?
I am really confused now: if auotphagy can "fuel" cancer growth, why do you recommend fasting to beat cancer? There are Dr.Berg's videos recommending fasting for those who have cancer. Can somebody explain?
Dr Berg....... You say that autophagy can hurt you if you have cancer. I'm confused by this statement because when I watched your interview with the Frenchman who beat his cancer, he did it through a 21-day fast, which certainly would bring about autophagy, right? My understanding was that the cancer cells are essentially eaten up through the very process of autophagy. Was this not the case after all? Please clarify if you can. Thanks
I'm confused too!!!
@@trinityrising1877 And still no clarification from Dr Berg himself. We have officially entered into the bizarro world where up is down, black is white, and truth is now questioned. Strange times.
There was an interview on this channel with an elderly stage 4 cancer patient who said his cancer was cured in part from fasting, as well as garlic and broccoli. This video suggests autophagy is bad for cancer therapy, which is conflicting. What is the reason for the elderly gentleman’s cancer success?
YAAAsss!!!
Wait, im very confused here.
I thought fasting helps people with cancer as well.
So is fasting good or bad for cancer? You’re contradicting your other videos
I’m on day 3 of my water fast. Feeling great. Calm. Centered. I have 30 lbs of excess weight to lose.
You help people to take care of their bodies you show them the suitable ways to be in good health ..God bless you doctor..I m not very good in English but I try to understand more
…autophagy “helps” cancer?
I’m sorry, but I don’t think that’s accurate.
There are current studies regarding chemotherapy, studying if it’s the actual chemotherapy helping fight cancer, or the lack of appetite-which triggers autophagy-or both working together.
Context or misexpressed phrase, "...helps reduce cancer..."
@@SpamMouseyou're saying he said it wrong?
Your opinon though. Everything the private medical world sells is for profit. Healthy people is not what they want.
@@Soul.Is.Willing I'm suggesting that autophagy does not provide a helpful situation for cancer to survive. One might use the expression that: "Autophagy is good for cancer", in the way that "a hot bath is good for aching backs", or "an umbrella is good for rain". I suggest that sometimes Dr Berg might be clearer in word-use especially with an international audience with variation in English usage and understanding of it's fine nuance and short hand usage. HTH.
@@SpamMouse I see.
