Fasting for colon cancer, colonoscopy and polypectomy

[S11m]

The benefits of fasting for some types of cancer are well established, See:

...but how effective is fasting for colon cancer?

I fast 68 hours every month, so, when I was told I had to eat no fibre before my colonoscopy, I told the medic I would fast... so I fasted for three days before the colonoscopy.

I had a haemorrhoid, and I thought that was why I had been producing D or crescent-shaped stools.

They found an adenomatous polyp, about 7mm in diameter, but well over halfway across the sigmoid... and my stools are now cylindrical - so the polyp must have partially blocked the sigmoid, and shrunk in response to the fast.

There have been anecdotal observations of tumours disappearing during a long (e.g. 21-day) fast... so, it is not surprising that an adenoma shrinks during a fast.
