Members responded to a question about fasting with CLL and skin cancer, with most strongly urging the poster to consult both their oncologist and primary care doctor before starting any fasting regimen, as it can be helpful but may also work against the immune system or cause additional stress to the body if not done properly. Several members shared their personal fasting approaches, including intermittent fasting with keto or low-carb diets, eating two meals a day with extended fasting periods in between, and researching keto doctors who focus on cancer care. A recurring theme was the importance of doing thorough research, considering individual medical conditions, and recognizing that fasting may benefit healthy individuals but requires careful medical guidance for those managing cancer or other health challenges.
