A few years ago this documentary on fasting caught Larry's eye. It is a very fascinating documentary that scientifically explains the many benefits of fasting, including protecting healthy cells from damage while going through chemo (see end of documentary). Through Larry's many years of being sick, he would often not be able to eat for long periods of time and even fasted for a nine day period at one point. He noticed that the fasting had a therapeutic affect on his body and possibly helped reset his body. After watching this video together we talked about using the benefit of fasting if we were ever faced with having to do chemo. Never thought we'd be in that position, but here we are and we are grateful to have this knowledge as we plan to start Larry's chemo treatments next week.
