    Here’s a 2019 article that discusses the possibility that fasting may help with neurological issues:

    NorCalS - I agree with Serenity above - really good and interesting article. Thanks for posting it.

    FYI: I don’t know if the fasting or icing during taxol helped prevent neuropathy, but so far, I haven’t experienced neuropathy. If fasting will help with healing from all the chemo, then for me it’s worth adding to my weekly routine

    I fasted and iced during Taxol and have no neuropathy from chemo. I have one little spot on the side of a toe with a little numbness, but that's from my sciatica. Most of the time I don't notice it.
