This is what we call
part of the rejuvenation
in the body due to the consecutive
or longer period of fasting,
what we call today prolonged
or periodic fasting.
- In terms of stem cells, you
will not stimulate stem cells.
You won't get brain derived
neurotrophic factor increase
unless you fast for at
least three to four days.
- You need to realize that
stem cells are the repairmen
of the body.
They're all over your body
and they're constantly working
to repair little bits of
damage that happen everyday
but think what would
happen if those stem cells
stopped doing their job
and that's what happens
in a lot of patients
who really aren't living
a healthy lifestyle,
is those cells can get hurt
and they're not doing their job
so injuries stack up.
In 2004, I was reading an
animal study on a rabbit
that showed that you could
take Mesenchymal stem cells
and regrow a disc.
Obviously that caught my
attention 'cause we had
a lot of back pain
patients with bad discs.
So I sought out some
researchers that were using
Mesenchymal stem cells to treat injuries
and they were doing it in horses
and so we ported that over to humans.
So, today, we've published
50% of all of the patients
in the world literature
who have been treated
with stem cells and who
have orthopedic problems.
What we can say at this
point is that the environment
that your stem cells are in
can have a dramatic impact
on their ability to grow, proliferate,
and do what they're supposed to.
That environment can be affected by diet,
it can be affected by exercise,
it can be affected by medications.
- Everything in the body
has multiple functions,
multiple sites of action.
So when you give a drug
that you think is working
in one site,
it's working and doing
things all over the body
in ways that we may not even comprehend.
That's why when you
look at pharmaceuticals,
the list of side effects are
huge and often including death.
If you've watched television
and you see the commercials
from any of the pharmaceuticals,
they actually show people
having a wonderful time
and then they say, and by the
way, this drug may kill you.
That is one thing that does
not happen when you eat
the right foods,
when you exercise, when you
incorporate periodic fasting.
- So what we found was that
high blood pressure medications,
cholesterol medications,
these are common things taken by many,
many different Americans but
they hurt their stem cells'
ability to grow and culture.
So that's not a good thing.
If you think about the
fact that these medications
are impacting your body's own stem cells
and their ability to maintain
and repair that body,
that's a big problem.
So as an example,
we've treated lots of patients
through the years with
tendinopathy due to taking a
specific type of antibiotic.
- I literally became debilitated.
I had shoulder pain, neck pain, leg pain.
I could barely walk.
I even had a hard time breathing.
Two of my discs had completely
herniated into my spine.
I really felt I was dying.
- Now this is a known problem.
They'll take this antibiotic
'cause they have a common cold
and the next thing they know,
they're in chronic pain
all over their body.
Why?
Because that particular antibiotic reduces
the stem cells ability in their
body to repair their tendons
and we all get tendon
wear and tear everyday
that needs to be repaired.
So one of the things we started realizing
is that when we were
going to use the patient's
own cells to try to repair something,
we had to have patients
clean up their lifestyle
including their diet.
We make sure that they're
fasting when they come in
because we know that fasting can increase
the body's ability to help repair itself.
- For the next several
weeks after each time I do
a fasting mimicking diet,
I end up with significantly reduced pain
in all of my joints.
- Polycystic ovary syndrome.
That's one of my niches.
I deal a lot with hormones.
If you take an unhealthy
woman and you trick her body
into getting pregnant,
often it will be rejected
and if it's successful,
it's not usually very successful
because she often will have
very severe complications
later on towards the end
of pregnancy like high
blood pressure and toxemia,
pre-term labor, a lot of Diabetes,
many, many complications in these women
when they do not get them
healthy but trick them
into getting pregnant.
So then she came to me and she just said,
"I've tried the conventional route.
"I've spent thousands of
dollars trying to get pregnant
"and I've heard that there's
this integrative approach.
"So what can you do to help me?"
She did everything I asked.
So she had a large breakfast,
she had a medium lunch,
she had a tiny dinner.
She didn't eat after 7 P.M.
She began exercising.
She ate no processed foods.
She did everything right.
Then after a month, I put her on Prolon.
After three cycles, she got pregnant.
That was almost a year ago
and she recently delivered her baby.
She has a beautiful, healthy baby.
She's in her late 30's now.
She's been trying for all these years.
- Depending on the therapeutic use,
you have to really
understand this and use it
to your advantage.
So, for example, when we do
it for metabolic syndrome,
Diabetes, and cancer,
we do between four and five days fasting
together with various therapies.
That's sufficient.
When we look at auto immunities
instead we go to seven days.
Why do we do that?
Because we now wanna do more
destruction of damaged cells.
The auto immune cells in this case.
So if you do a shorter fast,
you're not really gonna benefit that much
because you don't have
enough time to destroy
the damaged cells and also
you have less rebuilding
using the stem cell.
So this is why it's so
important to understand
the mechanism behind it
and for each purpose,
really using a different
fasting base intervention.
- I was working on a
documentary for the BBC,
What if We Could Stay Young Forever?
We were looking at diet
and exercise and lifestyle.
I met Dr. Valter Longo
to talk about his work
and it was at the time
he was preparing for his clinical trial
and suggested that I might like to be
one of the volunteers in that trial.
So the trial involved what is known
as a fasting mimicking diet
over five consecutive days
and that was repeated three times.
- One of the things that
our large clinical trials
have shown is that at the very least,
we know that fasting
mimicking diets are safe
for the average person.
- Probably the number one
thing that I noticed is
is weight control.
- The past year I have
prescribed the Prolon diet
to about 120 or 130 patients.
A lot of them come to me
saying I tried all the diets
and I can't lose weight.
Well, I tell them, well
let me prove them wrong.
Let's try this diet and you will see
that you will lose weight.
All of them have lost weight.
