Unless you're treating a disease like brain cancer, this is how you should look at intermittent fasting.

SHR # 2792:: Can Fasting Modulate Infectious Disease? - Franziska Graef, PhD Candidate - Fasting before and during exposure to Salmonella enterica bacteria protects mice from developing a full-blown infection, in part due to changes in the animals’ gut microbiomes, according to new research published in PLOS Pathogens by Bruce Vallance and colleagues at University of British Columbia, Canada. When people or animals develop an infection, they often lose their appetite. However it remains controversial whether fasting protects a host from infection, or increases their susceptibility. In the new study, mice were fasted for 48 hours before and during oral infection with the bacteria Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, a common cause of foodborne illness in people. NOTE: The show ended abruptly due to a complete power outage in our building that knocked the internet out as well. We covered all the important points of the study. Franziska will be back on because she has some fascinating perspectives on fasting.

SHR # 2791:: Are There Illegal Ingredients In Your Pet Food? - Chelsea Kent - Susan Thixton - U.S. federal law defines “food” as: “articles used for food or drink for man or other animals.” U.S. federal law defines an “adulterated food” (an illegal food) as (in part): “if it consists in whole or in part of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance; if it is, in whole or in part, the product of a diseased animal or of an animal which has died otherwise than by slaughter.” Filthy, putrid, decomposed, diseased animal and/or non-slaughtered animals. Keep those terms in mind as we show you what FDA allows into pet food, ignoring federal law on todays show. Learn more about Chelsea Kent at http://shrnetwork.biz/heros .

SHR # 2789:: Magnesium and Your Immune System - Wade Lightheart - Magnesium participates in immune responses in numerous ways. As a cofactor for immunoglobulin synthesis, immune cell adherence, IgM lymphocyte binding, macrophage response to lymphokines, T helper-B cell adherence and antigen binding to macrophage RNA. Magnesium deficiency impairs IgG synthesis and cell-mediated immunity. IgG is the most abundant antibody in the blood. It helps prevent infections. So, people with IgG deficiency are more likely to get infections. Magnesium deficiency occurs in various degrees in our population and deficiency in humans are subtle. Magnesium deficiency causes susceptibility to allergy and to chronic fungal and viral infections. Magnesium also appears to play a protective role in acute allergic reactions.
