A woman with recurring Stage 4 lymphoma chose a 21-day water fast over chemotherapy, citing belief in its immune-boosting effects, despite medical warnings of no scientific support.
A 42-year-old Essex woman, Sarah Ford, has chosen a 21-day medically supervised water fast over chemotherapy for her recurring Stage 4 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, following remission after initial treatment.
Diagnosed in February 2024 during her honeymoon, she underwent 13 rounds of chemotherapy, which caused side effects but led to remission.
When her cancer returned, she declined further chemotherapy, opting instead for the fast at a California center, believing it will boost her immune system through ketosis.
Medical experts warn there is no scientific evidence supporting water fasting as a cancer treatment and urge patients to consult healthcare providers.
Ford is raising funds via GoFundMe for the treatment, which she says feels empowering despite low success odds.
