Fasting For 3 Days Regenerates the Entire Immune System
Research finds that fasting “flipped a regenerative switch” leading to new blood and new immune system creation – in just 72 hours
Results from a recent study fall into the category of “remarkable,” as it was described.
Researchers from University of Southern California were looking for extra immune help for chemotherapy patients, and found an answer for everyone. For chemo patients, the elderly, the chronically ill, even those with auto immune diseases.
Longer fasts use up the body’s glucose stores, but they also breakdown and rebuild the white blood cells – literally rebuilding a new immune system.
Prof Valter Longo, Professor of Gerontology and the Biological Sciences at the University of California explains:
It gives the ‘OK’ for stem cells to go ahead and begin proliferating and rebuild the entire system.
And the good news is that the body got rid of the parts of the system that might be damaged or old, the inefficient parts, during the fasting.
Now, if you start with a system heavily damaged by chemotherapy or ageing, fasting cycles can generate, literally, a new immune system.
By having the white blood cells depleted, it triggers stem cell based reproduction of new born immunity.
The Telegraph reports:
In trials humans were asked to regularly fast for between two and four days over a six-month period.
Scientists found that prolonged fasting also reduced the enzyme PKA, which is linked to ageing and a hormone which increases cancer risk and tumour growth.
Longo continues:
We could not predict that prolonged fasting would have such a remarkable effect in promoting stem cell-based regeneration of the hematopoietic system.
When you starve, the system tries to save energy, and one of the things it can do to save energy is to recycle a lot of the immune cells that are not needed, especially those that may be damaged.
What we started noticing in both our human work and animal work is that the white blood cell count goes down with prolonged fasting. Then when you re-feed, the blood cells come back. So we started thinking, well, where does it come from?
But the wonders didn’t stop at this point.
Picture the difference between someone who intends to do a fast for 10 days (or however long they are intuitively led to) and someone who is going hungry for 10 days or purposely starving themselves – sometimes associated with the negative mental aspects of anorexia. Or someone who “starves” themselves to fit into a dress or take a misleading before/after shoot to promote a diet pill. Starvation is associated with the
effects of muscle catabolism. There’s a difference!
Here are some press releases showcasing other fasting medical breakthroughs:
- Fasting found to reduce cardiac risk factors, such as triglycerides, weight, and blood sugar levels
- New study finds that short fasting cycles can work as well as chemotherapy, and the 2 combined greatly improve survival
- A new study from USC researchers is the first to show that controlled fasting improves the effectiveness of radiation therapy in cancer treatments, extending life expectancy in mice with aggressive brain tumors.
Please, please, do consult with your preferred health practitioner for guidance of if and how to do a fast that’s right for you.
Here is the ultimate book I’ve found on fasting – Fasting to Freedom, by Ron Lagerquist & Tom McGregor. It was encouraging and motivational with safety helps. It included helpful information for hypoglycemics and diabetics. Note: the book is from a Christian perspective. It also warns against ever doing a water fast – most of us are too toxic and would go into a harmful healing crisis. It’s about juicing with mostly vegetables to maintain nutrients during a fast. Anyone, especially diabetics/hypoglycemics might also enjoy using a Nutribullet which maintains even more nutrients/fiber/seeds of the plan and isn’t so messy (I’m happy with mine).
PS – A naturopath shared another secret way to kick the red and white blood cell rebuilding into high gear…
Can you guess what it is?

I can vouch for this. But incredibly, people I’ve talked to have said they could never go even one day without eating. They’d rather be sick.
I’ve done 48 hrs no food or liquids on two occasions and it leaves you feeling pretty weak I can tell you – not sure I could do three days though.
Oil from Cannabis flowers will kill cancer.
If it’s a tumorous cancer take B17.
MMS will kill fungus cancers
There’s an Italian doctor who treats cancer with bicarb.
Whatever you do don’t have any quackery chemo it just kills all the good cells with the bad.
Big Pharma just wants to drug you up and make big bucks profits.

man this writer doesn’t know what he is talking about. if your whte bloodcells get depleted. you are worse off than an AIDS patient! You have a higher problem of illnesses.
Als if you are on heavy chemo therapy, you won’t be able to hold you solids in anyway. the chemo destroys the immune quicker than the fasting. With the fating it is just made worse
This strikes a chord.
Last year for some strange reason I didn’t feel like eating;for 5 days straight.
Didn’t get hungry,didn’t get sick,just didn’t feel like eating.
I woke on the sixth day & felt like having breakfast,which I ate.
From then onward, everything was totally back to normal again in regards to my eating habits,like I hadn’t even fasted;except for a few things.
I had much more energy as compared to before,was able to rest/sleep better,my head felt clearer & I was able to give up smoking when everything I had previously tried just didn’t cut it for me.
It still has me baffled & I have not heard of anyone else that has had this experience.
I don’t know if it’s related although this story did raise my eyebrows.
As for now,seeings that it is my new ‘normal’,I’m not 100% sure that I don’t feel the same as before the fast or if, like plastic fading in the Sun,I have slowly,without noticing,reverted back to the same way I felt previously.
I don’t think I could go another 5 days without food atm but if I ever do ‘not’ feel like eating for an extended length of time again I will definitely pay more attention.
God wants all spirits to overcome fears, and this is one of them. There is going to be a reward of cosmic information to anyone who can overcome these childhood fears. The powers to be know about this and try hard to block God’s energy (knowledge) from entering your pineal gland. When you completely know something to be true, it is stored away into your subconscious along with a pathway to new knowledge which is spiritual advancement.
FEAR is the virus to the human computer.
Around 70% of Americans will find out if this is true within a few weeks after the dollar collapses, an EMP attack, or grid goes down.
he’s talking about if there is no meat in your system then fasting works. I can see if you ate meat it is difficult for you to fast. Your stomach works differently when there is no meat present in your body – a.k.a land animals, but not fish, fish does not clog the body up and nor does egg’s.
Wouldn’t help cancer patient’s. My mother had cancer and didn’t eat for 5 weeks and died anyway. It is good to fast if you are healthy but I don’t think it will heal anything.
Glutamate will go down from not eating (typically high along with Glycine levels in auto immune disorders — Glutamate, Glycine, Cysteine make up Glutathione (cheif immune system anti oxidant).
Also if your immue system is weak, every time you eat you get “leaky gut” and inflammation, and you use up a lot of cortisol and get OCD symptoms, wired & tired symptoms, fight/flighty, etc. and this itself makes it harder to recover. So if you don’t eat your cortisol levels can recover in the adrenal gland.
But a better way is to improve Methioine which feeds the adrenal gland. Typically in autism the MTHFR gene weakens folate/b9 flow which feeds Methionine and the adrenals. So you should eat a lot of folate/b9. To digest gluten, eat cranberries. This contains the typically missing “Cysteine” amino acid for the immune systme to work in the first place.
