In some Muslim countries, cancer is viewed differently. Rather than seeing it solely as a dangerous disease, some describe it as a “beast” that consumes energy more aggressively than normal cells. When this energy demand grows, the disease spreads (metastasizes) and can eventually overwhelm the body.
One Algerian university professor claims that fasting — from 3 days up to a month — can help treat cancer. Fasting here means consuming only clean water, without any food.
Some believe that continuous eating, without breaks, may contribute to disease. In contrast, fasting is seen as a way to detoxify the body, starve abnormal cells of energy, and promote healing. It’s also thought to help manage weight, reduce inflammation, and improve the body’s ability to handle stress — potentially preventing diseases like diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and cardiovascular issues.
Studies suggest that skipping meals occasionally or fasting for three days at a time may support health. Traditional eating patterns of three full meals a day might not be ideal from an evolutionary perspective.
The Role of Fruit
Eating fruit on an empty stomach is believed to have health benefits. Some say fruits digest more efficiently this way and help detoxify the body. When fruits are eaten after heavy meals, they may ferment and cause gas, bloating, or discomfort.
Dr. Stephen Mac and Dr. Herbert Shelton are both cited as proponents of natural healing through proper fruit consumption and fasting. Shelton, in particular, emphasized that although fruits like oranges and lemons taste acidic, they have an alkalizing effect in the body.
Key fruit benefits include:
Tips for Better Digestion
Avoid drinking cold water or chilled drinks right after meals, as it may solidify fats in food and slow digestion. Warm drinks or soups are considered better for post-meal digestion.
A Final Word
These ideas are based on various traditional and alternative health beliefs. While some of them may have merit, it’s important to consult with qualified healthcare professionals before making changes to your diet or treatment plans.
