The school of thought around cancer used to be focused only on the genetic component. But we now know that our environment—the air we breathe, the food we eat, even our relationships—have an enormous cellular impact on our ability to prevent and treat cancer.

I’m excited to sit down with Dr. Jason Fung on this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy to talk about his amazing work in the field of cancer research and why this environmental component should give us all hope.

Dr. Fung is a physician, author, and researcher. His groundbreaking science-based books about diabetes and obesity, The Diabetes Code, The Obesity Code, and The Complete Guide to Fasting have sold over one million copies and challenged the conventional wisdom that diabetics should be treated with insulin. Dr. Fung is also the co-founder of The Fasting Method, a program to help people lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes naturally with fasting. His latest book, The Cancer Code: A Revolutionary New Understanding of a Medical Mystery, was just released.

    I am fighting cancer. Have begun 18/6 eating, and once a week doing a 36 hr fast and cutting out sugar, and working on gluten free eating. My journey is just beginning, I am hoping this is going to help. I believe cells are energy and we need to learn how to direct them in our body.
  • @howiesfunware
    Cancer needs sugar and glutamine in large amounts to survive. Otto Warburg in the 1920's, was the doctor who originally came up with the theory that cancer cells ferment instead of respirate due to damage of the mitochondria. Cancer cells can't use ketones for fuel and glutamine is in most foods. If you have Cancer, this is when you want to do extended fasts, forcing your body to run strictly on ketones. You also need to remain inactive during this fast to keep your body from making glucose for your muscles. Try to find a way to periodically breath in pure oxygen during your extended fasts because oxygen can be toxic to cancer cells.

    I "discovered" Dr Jason Fung 3 years ago...and 'reinvented' myself. This is a wonderful person, changed my whole life and outlook towards food in general. 🙏🙏
  • @starlenehusk673
    I am a firm believer in diet and cancer. I had chemotherapy and immunotherapy. However my diet became very strict. By week 2 my tumor shrunk in half. By week 4 my tumor was no longer measurable. It drastically reduced the side effects of treatment. I had fatigue, that's it. My labs remained impeccable throughout my entire treatment. When your Oncologist looks at you and says " Keep doing what you are doing with your diet. If I wasn't treating you, I wouldn't believe you had cancer" you know that thw right foods are also medicine. Diet can save your life!!!

    Dr Jason's book on reversing Type 2 literally rescued me.. I was T-2 for ten years & on heavy insulin. Now I'm off all meds and in extremely excellent health.

    Dr Hyman's $500 microphone: We can hear his stomach digesting his food and every time he breathes and swallows Dr Fung's $30 ear bud microphone: Sounds great

    I always feel waaay better when I fast. More energetic, alert, happy, no bloat.
  • @veralubov7405
    I have a lot of respect for Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Jason Feng and their work. BUT there is another name that EVERYONE with cancer SHOULD know: Dr. Thomas Seyfried (PhD in Genetics and Biochemistry), who started talking about what is cancer in 2012 (!), when he published a REALLY GROUNDBREAKING book "Cancer as a Metabolic Disease: On the Origin, Management, and Prevention of Cancer (Wiley, 1st ed., 2012". His 2nd book was published in 2020. He lectures a lot about ketogenic diet, has been doing research, has been a featured speaker at numerous scientific symposia and conferences relating to cancer, a very much respected specialist in research world (has his channel on Youtube). He has EXTENSIVE experience, which STILL NEEDS TO BE ACQUIRED BY YOUNGER DOCTORS before their books are called revolutionary.

    I wish I could find doctors like them where I live. What a breath of fresh air.
  • @tubeofjin
    Thanks so much for this. I am going through chemo treatment for stage 4 colon cancer. This helped a lot to clarify the confusion about sugar and diet.
  • @user-vk8dv3uw2y
    This guy was given 6 months to live and was supposed to get chemotherapy, he couldn't afford to get treatment so he is still living 10 years later 💥💥💥💥💥
  • @sobrien1111
    My late husband had a feeding tube put in for his last year and when I read the nutrition label of the liquid food, it was very high in sugar. These prescription liquid foods kill you.
  • @alexi2460
    Dr Fong is just the best at describing complex bio issues in an understandable interesting way.
  • @chandrasekharkelam2218
    Both of you guys are awesome and bold and a lot different from so called doctors who have no knowledge about fasting and only follow sop. You guys are hope and inspiring to millions of your followers. Thank you.
