Scientists Discover That Fasting Triggers

of the immune cells that are not needed# especiall! those that ma! be damaged" What we

started noticing in both our human work and animal work is that the white blood cell count

goes down with prolonged fasting" Then when !ou refeed# the blood cells come back" $
