“Autoimmunity – Immunosenescence reduced production of naive T cells (which react to new antigens) and increased production of clonal T cells (which react to previously encountered antigens), increasing the risk of developing autoantibodies, which are central to the development of rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and other autoimmune diseases.”

“Dr. Longo’s work has shown that, in an animal model of multiple sclerosis called experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis, the fasting-mimicking diet temporarily reduces the total white blood cells - lymphocytes, monocytes, and granulocytes -- by 40% to 50%.”

“00:19:30 - Profound changes in gut microbiome occur with intermittent fasting. Study. 00:20:33 - Minocycline, a type of antibiotic, relieved symptoms of multiple sclerosis due to alterations in gut microbiome.”

“Physicians regarded this structured and packaged diet as a medical therapy, and patients felt it was more acceptable since it allowed them to eat some food. The fasting-mimicking diet has opened up clinical trials on diseases such as cancer, diabetes and multiple sclerosis.”

“Senescence is a vital cellular process involved in embryonic development, wound healing, and cancer immunity; however, the accumulation of senescent cells is associated with diseases of aging such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, sarcopenia, and glaucoma.”

“Interviews covering prolonged fasting and fasting-mimicking: Valter Longo, Ph.D. on Fasting-Mimicking Diet & Fasting for Longevity, Cancer & Multiple Sclerosis. Dr. Valter Longo on Resetting Autoimmunity and Rejuvenating Systems with Prolonged Fasting & the FMD.”

“In this podcast, Valter and I discuss his research in mice and humans looking at how prolonged fasting and a fasting mimicking diet on improves biomarkers of longevity, increases stem cells, improves cancer prevention, enhances cancer treatment and diminishes toxic side effects of chemotherapy, and mitigates autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis by changing immune cells phenotypes.”

“Supplemental butyrate Evidence suggests that providing supplemental butyrate regulates the immune system and reduces the aggressiveness of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a progressive neurodegenerative disease.”

“Genetic predispositions, environmental exposures, and aging may weaken the integrity of this barrier, allowing endotoxins and inflammatory immune cells to infiltrate the brain, contributing to accelerated brain aging and the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and multiple sclerosis.”

“Multiple sclerosis A systematic review of seven studies that examined the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on quality of life among people with multiple sclerosis, an autoimmune disorder characterized by the progressive destruction of myelin, found that omega-3s reduced the rate of relapse, decreased markers of inflammation, and improved quality of life.”
