Wink Fasting Helps Immune System after Chemo

Hi Amazing Group,

I thought this was pretty exciting news: here's the link the to whole article - http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0605141507.htm

and here's the opening paragraph:

Fasting triggers stem cell regeneration of damaged, old immune system
Date:
June 5, 2014
Source:
University of Southern California
Summary:
In the first evidence of a natural intervention triggering stem cell-based regeneration of an organ or system, a study shows that cycles of prolonged ]fasting not only protect against immune system damage -- a major side effect of chemotherapy -- but also induce immune system regeneration, shifting stem cells from a dormant state to a state of self-renewal.

I think I will try it! can't hurt that I am also trying to lose weight!

My very best regards and wishes for each and every one of you!

Donna
