Starvation

Postby Marknamealreadytaken » Fri May 13, 2005 10:32 pm

When I was first diagnosed about 2 years ago, like anyone, I tried to find out all I could. One article I came across was a study done with mice or some other lab animal, wherein the researchers found that if the test animals were not given any food for two (or maybe it was three days) their MS like symptoms decreased dramatically. This was confirmed, verified ect.. through diseection. (forgive me animal lovers). Has anyone seen this study or anything like it.

i have read similar studies where the rodent lifespan was greatly extended when periodic starvation was induced. Interesting...

Yes, there has been some discussion on this board in the past on the benefits of fasting. One such thread can be found here.
