Le Jeûne : Une nouvelle thérapie ?

As life expectancy increases in the West, cases of diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity and cancers are on the rise and there's an explosion in the consumption of drugs. Are we condemned to swallow increasing quantities of medication in order to live longer? What if there were some therapeutic alternative? For half a century, doctors and biologists in Russia, Germany and the United States have been exploring another path: fasting. The results are astonishing. Soviet researchers have amassed an exceptional wealth of clinical studies, published only in Russian and so unknown in the West. Young biologists at the University of Los Angeles are overturning received ideas and using molecular biology to demonstrate the powerful effects of fasting. They are opening up a number of perspectives, including that of the treatment of cancer. If these scientists are right, perhaps we have to rethink our approach to the disease and its treatment.
