Did a 21-Day Water Fast Reverse Ivonne Vielman's Cancer? (Lymphoma)

WoW, her husband doing the fast with her, him being at home taking care of the kids. My hat to him! She has a very supportive family. This woman is a wonderful soul and a great inspiration. Thanks for the interview Chris.

I am 5 1/2 years on the Esselstyn diet post heart attack. Her point about "following a straight line" - and just not having choices anymore - puts into words something I struggle to explain to others. For me, a beef burger (for example) isn't even food. I would just as soon try to eat my socks.

This channel is among the highest quality across all categories of YouTube and I love how the creator is trying to seek the ‘truth’. Please continue to push these videos out as I’m sure your channel will grow as more and more people begin to understand what really contributes to longevity. It would be interesting to see you interview Bryan Johnson, Blueprint. It appears a lot of his work aligns with your’s.

Chris, never stop doing this. You’re the reason I’m vegan; wfpb. I was two years into processed fake meat and cheese vegetarian. I watched your episode about Drs and you didn’t say good things about the Dr I had been religiously following for two years, so I thought you were wrong and I was mad at you. But you haunted me and I kept watching. You weren’t wrong and you’re not a jerk 😂. I love seeing your family and I so love your style and format. Ivonne, you’re amazing and thank you for sharing your story. You are right about not looking back. A general comment. She and her family are such an asset to our country. We need to embrace people and families who want to become citizens. They are not drug dealers and bad people. I saw a little bit of that with my German mother coming here not long after WWII as an army bride. I learned the word Nazi from neighbors referring to my mom.

From my own experience at TrueNorth, I would like to see them embrace the rehab-center model even more than they do. More support for people staying there would have been very helpful.

❤ amazing woman. Loved this interview. Very hard being positive in this world without also dealing with a life threatening illness. Bravo Yvonne ❤

Great interview. Really enjoy Michelle's style of interviewing. Honest account of Yvonne's cancer journey. The highlight I take away is that every person is unique, and their health, well-being, and path, is their own to make and take. Professionals do not have all the answers, nor can they offer any guarantees to their patients. We must choose what is right for us, and hope for the best outcome.

Love the content and delivery. 1) Chris, the baseball cap makes you look very handsome. If you wear a sunhat, it will protect more of your face (esp ears) and encourage others to do the same. 2) Ivonne's story was so authentic. Anyone watching the interview can tell this was not "an informercial" . Thank you to Chris and Michelle for all you do and who you are. The world is a better place because of you.

WOW! What a life changing interview. I'm totally grateful to have seen it. Thank you so very much.

Chris - I don't agree with your comment - When you "dismiss" the Esselstyn position about "Heart Disease being a toothless paper tiger". He's obviously not talking about heart conditions that people are born with or predispositions that are inherited. Dr. Esselstyn's comment is about the other 98% of cardiac related illnesses that are largely self-inflicted and which predictably kill millions of people around the world - every year.

An interesting story, responsibly told. Thanks for sharing this inspiring story without over hyping the benefits of fasting.

Ivonne’s outlook on life is remarkable. What were your takeaways from this interview? ❤

Book tip: Ultra Processed People by Dr Chris van Tulleken. Covers similar topic, showing the food industry is the new tobacco industry.

This Lady is amazing, GOD Bless Her! I hope She has good health and long Life.

As always , great work and good video. Keep them coming !

I'm a little confused.. you acknowledge that comment in the beginning about how your previous video on True North was low on scientific background and mostly served as a platform to give almost unquestioningly positive PR (from both an employee and lead scientist) You even express some skepticism in the first few minutes and I would argue you correctly point to the systems of economy that incentivise costly medical interventions that can justify the high price of clinical trials. However, the rest of the 45 minutes of the video are an extended anecdote from a non-expert who's advice boiled down to "follow your gut" along with more generic diet and support-system related suggestion. Im gonna have to agree with the comment that this feels like an infomercial. I'm hopeful for the prospects of food and diet as medicine and I'm happy to see so many people have such radical success in these water fasting clinics, but I just suppose it would be nice to see your interviews and questions be a bit more critical.

I'm the same way Chris. If I allow myself to indulge in one cookie, then it becomes two, then three, then twelve! Having fresh fruit that's easy to get to helps me. I have a bowl of ripe apricots on my table right now. I indulge in 2-3 of those a day and I'm good

Thank you for acknowledging that it can go away on it's own.

This is one of my favourite channels. I did, however, had some issues with this interview. She said that you should follow your gut, that if you are determined, then whatever you decide is the right choice, your body responds to your beliefs, and ideas along those lines. That is magical thinking. Which I understand, I am from Chile, and magical thinking seems to be part of Latinamerican culture. Lets just not forget that this interview is not from the perspective of a scientist, and enjoy it without taking it as science.
