Mitochondrial Damage and Autophagy

[MikePollard]

On the back of CURE'S very interesting post regarding mitochondria I thought I'd put up my reply as a post as the subject is so important it needs wider dissemination. I have written on the subject in the past, but the subject needs refreshing on a regular basis:

With regard to cancer the focus is shifting from damaged DNA being causal to damaged mitochondria.

There is an alternative to looking for a supplement to change the dynamic. Why not clear out old and damaged mitochondria? It will cost nothing and is simple to do:

Fast!

Wonderful things happen when you fast, one of which is HGH (human growth hormone) shoots up to protect muscle and the bigger effect is autophagy. Basically a mechanism is initiated whereby damaged and junk DNA, viruses, bacteria etc is sent for recycling.

Lots of information on youtube, but here's a sub 3 minute example.

Further information - research the modern godfather of fasting, Dr. Jason Fung.

I think we have to start to fast once a week as our ansectors used to do. For example : tuesday for Hanuman Ji, Hanuman Ji will solve many problems related to health again brihaspativaar for vishnu ji ...both Hanuman Ji and Vishnu Ji will solve the problems jointly

What ever day you choose for a specific God , they all are going to bestow their blessing to you ...once you start fasting ...but just dont ask your wife to fast on behalf of you

[Hidden in reply to karch]

My sister used to fast on 3days in a week , Monday for shiva , thursday for ViSHNU ,Saturday for Venkateswara swamy , FOR long lease of her husband's life . But no God came to her rescue and she lost him to massive cardiac arrest .

[karch in reply to Hidden]

If husband has to be healthy ...he has to fast by himself ...that is the secret ...and here in India...no husband fasts...just wife's fast for husband...

[Hidden in reply to karch]

yes . Of course.
