The Concept of a Cancer Diet
http://www.cancertu
tor.com/AltTreat ments/Alt_ Diet.html
I remember reading the
detailed diary of a person who was trying to
cure his own cancer with
alternative treatments. I was puzzled why
his treatments weren't working
until I came across an entry several
months into his treatment plan. He
basically stated (after several
months of alternative treatments): "I
decided to stop smoking." What
is wrong with this picture?
What is
wrong is that he thought he could treat his own
cancer by popping pills.
There is far more to fighting cancer with
alternative treatments than
popping pills.
Understand this carefully, taking any alternative cancer
treatment
is like putting gasoline in your car - you are on your way to
killing cancer cells, etc.
But having a bad diet, while you are on a
cancer
treatment, is like putting water in that same gasoline tank!!
As mentioned in my article "Introduction to Alternative Cancer
Treatments," many people have cured their cancer using nothing but a
massive change in their diet!
And I will add now that a bad diet
during a cancer treatment has
destroyed many alternative cancer treatments!!
Something as simple as adding refined salt to your foods may destroy
an entire cancer treatment!!
Hear this:
THE CANCER DIET IS JUST
AS IMPORTANT AS THE CANCER TREATMENT.
IF THE CANCER DIET IS NOT, IN AND
OF ITSELF, TREATING THE CANCER,
THEN IT IS INTERFERING WITH THE CANCER
TREATMENT!!!
Another thing that must be understood is that the logic a
person
must
use on a cancer treatment diet is different than the logic
they are
accustomed to using in dealing with orthodox medicine. Let me give
you an example:
When taking orthodox drugs, you might encounter
something like this:
Step 1: Take the yellow and green pills.
Step 2: Do
not drink alcohol or tea after taking the pills.
What about the foods and
drinks not specifically mentioned in Step 1
and Step 2? With orthodox
medicine you are free to eat anything not
prohibited.
But with
alternative cancer treatments just the opposite is true.
For example, let us
consider a simplified Brandt Grape Cure diet:
Step 1: Grape Juice and natural
water.
Step 2: Do not ingest any chlorine.
In this case, you are
FORBIDDEN to eat any food that is not in Step
1, even though it is not
listed in Step 2. With alternative
treatments for cancer, what you don't eat
is just as important as
what you are allowed to eat.
Most people who
get cancer get it because of the things they have
eaten!!
The wrong
foods created an internal terrain which allowed the
body to be filled with
fungus (e.g. tobacco leaves are filled with
fungus, as are peanuts, to name
but two of many such substances
commonly
consumed), such that when a
carcinogenic substance reacted with the
body, the internal terrain could not
deal with the carcinogenic
substance and the person got cancer. Here is a
superb site on foods
to avoid, and why:
Foods To Avoid
In
fact, many scientific studies have proven that diet alone,
meaning the foods
that were eaten, caused cancer. Thus, by default,
if you want
to reverse
your cancer, you must reverse your diet to create a
strong inner terrain.
A cancer diet severely restricts what you can eat. By default, if it
is not specifically allowed to be eaten in the treatment plan, don't
eat
it!!
The Step 2 items are simply the most damaging things to the diet.
Another key fact is that many people crave certain foods. This may
be because of habit or
it may be because of a food allergy. People
crave foods they are allergic
to.
I have known this fact for 30 years. Thus,
switching from the
diet that caused your cancer to a diet that is
needed
to cure your
cancer may involve the stopping of eating foods the
person is allergic to
(i.e. they crave). This compounds the problem
and means even more effort is
needed to stick to the diet.
It gets worse. I have concluded, based on
the observation of many
case studies, that fungus creates a craving for
foods.
Fungus must eat, and when they don't get what they are used to
(e.g. tobacco, meat, ice cream,
cheese) they in some way send a
signal to your body to EAT those foods they
are used to.
Thus, virtually everyone who switches to a good
"cancer
diet" has to fight the signals caused by the "fungus".
Not All Cancer
Diets are the Same
Another thing that must be understood is that for some
cancer
treatments there are special diets. In other words, not all cancer
diets are the same.
For example, in the "InnerLight" cancer
treatment of Robert O.
Young, PhD, almost all fruits are forbidden. They are
forbidden for
good reason in his diet!
His diet is designed to
balance the pH in the blood and
"remove" (I use that term in a non-technical
way in this case) yeast
and fungus (Y/F) from the body!
Like a few
other cancer treatments, his treatment converts cancer
cells into normal
cells.
But in other cancer treatments fruits are not only allowed, they
are
an integral part of the treatment. Why?
Because some cancer
diets are designed to kill cancer cells, and
some fruits contain massive
amounts of cancer-killing nutrients and
the glucose in these fruits
"carries" the cancer-killing nutrients
into the cancer cells, which gobble
up glucose and steal it from
normal cells. This means they also steal the
cancer-killing
nutrients from normal cells. This can lead to cancer cell
death.
Thus, this web page must first determine which theory of
treating
cancer is being used. In this web page, top priority is given to
killing the fungus and other microbes in the body (i.e. starving
them to
death or creating an inner terrain that converts them into
something
harmless).
It is somewhat similar to the Robert O. Young diet. Again,
this
choice is because of a lot of observations of cancer diets that
didn't work.
Again, I recommend the Robert O. Young book: Sick and
Tired? -
Reclaim your Inner Terrain and you should use the exact diet Dr.
Young tells you is the ideal way to go
My diet is very close to his,
so if you cannot
get his book, or until you understand his diet, use this
article.
Having said that, I do make some important comments specifically
related to cancer, so read my "cancer diet" below as well.
What
about the Gerson diet, the Kelley Metabolic diet, the Moerman
diet
(though his book is out of print so I have reproduced his diet on
another web page), and so on? If you want to go on the Kelley
treatment,
that is fine, use his diet and supplements.
The Gerson and Moerman
diets, however, seem to be outdated when compared to newer diets.
However, I should note that some parts of these diets may contain
things
that are superior to current diets (e.g. iodine).
The "cancer diet" is a
never ending study of the right combinations
of foods.
============
========= ========= ========= ========= ========= ========= ===
Understanding
What A Cancer Diet Is
With regards to a cancer treatment, every food that
we eat or drink
can
be categorized into several different categories:
1) Foods that feed and strengthen the cancer cells and/or the
microbes
in the cancer cells and body. Examples would be: refined sugar,
refined
flour, soda pop, dairy products, etc.
2) Foods that
cause cancer (e.g. trans fatty acids [margarine,
french
fries and
virtually every other processed food you buy], aspartame
[Diet
Coke,
NutraSweet, Equal, etc.], MSG, polyunsaturated oils [e.g. corn
oil], etc.)
3) Foods that directly interfere with alternative treatments for
cancer
(e.g. chlorine, fluoride, alcohol, coffee, etc.)
4) Foods
that occupy and distract the immunity system from focusing
on
killing
the cancer cells (e.g. beef, turkey, etc.)
5) Foods that contain nutrients that kill the cancer cells, stop the
spread of cancer, or in some other way help treat the cancer (e.g.
purple grapes with seeds and skin, red raspberries with seeds,
strawberries with seeds, broccoli, cauliflower, several herbs,
carrots,
pineapples, almonds, etc.)
In addition there are things like cooking
vegetables. The cooking
destroys the enzymes in the vegetables and make them
far less
digestible
and far less effective in treating cancer.
Pasteurizing any food or
drink also does this.
Ideally, during a
cancer treatment, if foods are allowed on a
particular
diet, 100% of
everything you eat should be in the category of "Foods
that contain
nutrients that kill the cancer cells, stop the spread
of
cancer, or in
some other way help treat the cancer."
Whenever you eat a
food that
is not in that category, you are interfering with your
cancer
treatment!
This is why so many cancer diets are very high in certain
raw
vegetables
and certain raw fruits.
Some foods, however, are in more than one
category. For example,
grapes
feed glucose to cancer cells, plus they
contain nutrients that kill
cancer cells. So should you take grapes?
Generally, no. However, the
Brandt Grape Cure, which is a diet of nothing
BUT grapes, is an
excellent cancer treatment.
The problem is that
combining grapes with
other treatments tends to do more harm (by feeding the
cancer cells)
than good (by killing cancer cells) because other substances
in the
treatment seem to be neutralizing the value of the grapes.
Juicing of certain raw vegetables and raw fruits is also good in
some
cases (but not all cases, especially when the seeds are important)
because the vegetables and fruits are more easily digested
(translation:
more nutrients get to the cancer cells). However, when you juice you
throw away a lot of nutrients.
But also understand that not all
vegetables and fruits are equal at
treating cancer. Some vegetables do not
contribute significantly to
treating cancer and some fruits do not
contribute significantly to
treating cancer (at least not that we know of at
the current time).
On
the other hand, some vegetables are very potent
cancer killers, as
are
some fruits.
A Critical Definition
In
the alternative health field the term "fasting" has a very
different
definition than that used by many people. In alternative medicine,
the
term "fast" or "fasting" generally means that a person can drink
water
and a limited amount of other drinks and foods.
For example, the
Breuss cancer treatment is considered to be a 42-
day
"fast." However,
his fast allows water to be drunk and a
special "tea"
he designed for
the "fast."
"Fasts" are critical to many alternative cancer treatments,
but
again
understand that the term "fast" allows certain foods or drinks
to be
taken during the "fast."
As another example, the Johnanna
Brandt Grape Cure is considered to
be a
"fast" even though the person
can consume fairly large quantities of
grapes during the treatment. It is
called a "juice fast."
Perhaps the term "fast" could be associated with
the
term "restricted"
or "limited," because that is all it means.
Important Message For Weak Cancer Patients
The diet which will now be
discussed is essentially a "raw food"
diet,
composed mostly of raw
vegetables and greens (e.g. sprouts and
juiced
grasses).
Cancer
patients who are extremely weak may not be able to
properly digest raw
foods.
If that is the case, there is an absolutely required food:
organic
beef
broth. Also, the "macrobiotic diet" would probably be a
better diet
for
a very weak cancer patient because cooked foods are much
easier to
digest. There are entire books on the macrobiotic diet, but here
is
a
web page that gives an overview of both the Gerson and Macrobiotic
diets:
The Macrobiotic Diet described
In addition to the
macrobiotic diet, there are several supplements
that
are ABSOLUTELY
REQUIRED for weak cancer patients.
Essense Health Blend is a superb
vitamin, mineral, essential fatty
acid,
etc. blend.
Vendor of Essense
Health Blend
Vibe, a liquid vitamin drink by Eniva, will also
supercharge the
nutrients in a person's body. The dosage for cancer patients
is to
build
up to 4 ounces a day. Start with one ounce a day, then over
a period
of
a week build up to 4 ounces a day.
Vibe Vendor
Vibe cannot be taken by all cancer patients because it has added
vitamin
C.
Treatments that may be neutralized by added vitamin C
include:
Amazon
Factor
Protocol, all graviola and Paw Paw treatments, Protocel and
Cantron.
Other super energy and super nutrient drinks include:
1) Tahitian
Noni Juice,
2) Xango Mangosteen
Juice,
3) Berry Young Juice, which is 80% Ningxia Wolfberry
Juice,
One of the treatments in the Bill Henderson Protocol should be
used
by
EVERY weak cancer patient, no matter what treatment they are on.
That
product is Barley Power, an enzyme supplement that has virtually
every
enzyme on earth in it.
Barley Power is a "green" product
that is cold-processed. Every
cancer
patient, on any treatment, should
use Barley Power. Take at least 12
pills a day, perhaps many more. Here is
their website:
http://www.barleypo
wer.com/
The SON Formulas is a product that should be taken
by every weak
cancer
patient. It is in the Wolfe Clinic cesium chloride
protocol. It is
an
amino acid product that requires virtually zero
energy for your body
to
process. Just like Barley Power floods your body
with enzymes, the
SON
Formulas flood your body with amino acids (i.e.
energy).
Weak cancer patients should take up to 30 pills a day. Since
the
product
is a powder inside a capsule, even those on a feeding tube
can take
the
product. Here is where you can buy it:
http://www.thewolfe
clinic.com/ supplements/ map.html
Also, a V.I.B.E. Machine
(unrelated to the Vibe vitamin drink) will
add
energy to every cell in
the body. Most people cannot afford one so
the
manufacturer provides a
list of people or clinics who have one.
Enter
ONLY your state when
looking for someone with a VIBE Machine:
V.I.B.E. Machine Manufacturer
When the cancer patient gets strong enough, meaning their digestive
system is strong enough to digest raw foods, they can switch over to
the
cancer diet on this web page.
The Cancer Diet For Most Cancer
Treatment Plans
Unless the cancer treatment you are on has a special diet,
this is
the
cancer diet you should be on. However, I should add that the
cancer
diets of old cancer treatments are frequently obsolete and not as
good
as the current cancer diets which are based on a far better
understanding of what is going on in your body. For example, if you
are
on Binzel laetrile program, you should carefully consider any
differences between this diet and his diet.
Chlorine, Fluoride and
Other Toxic Chemicals
Avoid all chlorine in your diet. This includes avoiding
foods made
with
tap water. Chlorine destroys many phytonutrients and
other
nutrients,
thus the damage done to the food during processing, if
chlorine is
used,
is permanent and cannot be reversed.
This
means, for example, not
drinking soda pop or any other drinks that have been
made by mixing
tap
water with something else. You should not buy bottled
grape juice
because during processing, the chlorine in the tap water
destroyed
many
phytonutrients. The damage cannot be reversed.
Vegetables
As a general rule, ALL vegetables should be organic, if
possible.
Green
vegetables, including grasses (generally juiced) and
sprouts, MUST
be
the foundation of a good cancer diet.
The
fiber, enzymes, chlorophyll,
minerals, and many nutrients are necessary for
your cancer diet.
Even if
you could figure out a cancer diet without
eating green vegetables
(including the grasses), you should not do it. These
are REQUIRED to
be
the foundation of your cancer diet!!
Just as
there are some things you must not eat, there are some
things
you MUST
eat.
Juicing vegetables and grasses will help get more nutrients into
the
body. However, some whole vegetables should be eaten in order to get
the
fiber. Fiber is critical to a cancer treatment.
As with all
juices, if you make the juice from the actual foods, the
juice should be
drunk immediately after they are prepared. In cases
where many small doses
of a fresh vegetable juice are needed to be
taken
(e.g. to avoid
diarrhea), the juice can be refrigerated during the
day.
Essentially, you should have organic, fresh salads/vegetables/ juiced
grasses/sprouts for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many of the other
foods
that are allowed on this diet should be mixed in with the salad,
except
for the vegetable juices.
A list of such vegetables taken from the
Young book:
"broccoli [*], asparagus [*], beets [*-moderation] , cabbage
[*],
carrots
[*-moderation] , cauliflower [*], celery, cucumbers,
egg-plant, green
and
yellow squash [moderation] , green beans and peas
(fresh), red[*] and
yellow[*] peppers (also green[*] if they agree with
you), spinach,
mustard greens, collards, kale [*], lettuce, okra,
parsley[*],
scallions, radishes, Swiss chard, watercress, sea vegetables,
such
as
nori, wakame and niziki, wheat grass[*-usually juiced], barley
grass[*-usually taken as a supplement], turnips[*], and sprouted
grains[*] or beans[*].
Also eat lots of garlic[*] and onion[*], if
they
agree with you."
Sick and Tired? - page 96
The [*] symbol
means this is a known anti-cancer food and these
foods
should be
favored. The Young book is not specific to cancer, so it
is
necessary to
inject comments relative to cancer. By the way, both of
the
Robert O.
Young books have a number of recipes in them.
It would be a really good
idea to juice all of the vegetables
available
that have the [*] symbol
above!!
A word about sprouts. Even sprouts purchased in health food
stores
have
been shown to have very dangerous bacteria in them. Wash
them very
well,
but it is even better to make them yourself.
Nuts
In general, only whole almonds, whole macadamia nuts and whole
walnuts
are allowed on a cancer diet. Cashews are strictly prohibited.
Almonds
and macadamia nuts both have laetrile, and both are
acceptable.
Walnuts
have the very critical omega 3. Other nuts should
be used very
sparingly.
Peanuts (which are not really nuts) and
cashews both have too
much fungus and should not be used at all.
With the exception of walnuts being used in a Budwig Diet treatment,
even the acceptable nuts should be used sparingly.
The
Superfoods
By a very wide margin, the best foods in the world are wheatgrass
juice,
barley grass juice and a few other grasses. Only a small number
of
vegetables can even come close to these superfoods. However, most
people
are not going to sprout grass (search the Internet for the
phrase:
"wheatgrass kits" if you want to do it). Thus, many vendors make a
variety of qualities of parsley powder, kale powder, barley powder
or
powder made from a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, and grasses.
Hopefully you will pick the high quality products. Such foods are
absolutely required for a cancer treatment, mostly due to
chlorophyll,
but for other reasons as well.
It is impossible for a family to
recreate some of the products which
include multiple grasses and leaves.
These are good additions to a
cancer diet.
However, in addition to
such supplements, you will hopefully be able
to
juice fresh wheatgrass
or barleygrass for yourself.
Legumes
Legumes, except peanuts, are
allowed to be eaten by cancer patients,
but
only in moderation and only
to stabilize the weight of the patient
or to
provide protein.
Soy Products
To put is mildly, soy products are a highly
controversial issue
among
alternative health experts. Some experts love
some soy products, and
others hate all soy products (and that is also
putting it mildly).
It is
up to your own judgment on this issue. Let me
quote from Dr. Young's
book:
"The diet can include fresh soy
sprouts, organic soybeans, fresh
tofu, soy oil, and lecithin (a by-product
of soy). Try to find
organically
grown beans and soy products.
While the sprouts are recommended without reservation, processed
soybean, especially tofu, comes with some
cautions..."
Sick and
Tired? Reclaim Your Inner Terrain, Robert O. Young, page 97
In reality,
all soy products should be avoided except fresh soy
sprouts.
Soy
sprouts have an impressive number of anti-cancer nutrients and
are
acceptable as part of your salads, if you can make your own soy
sprouts.
Whole Grains
Whole grains can be used only when a cancer patient is
fighting
dangerous weight loss. If
the weight loss is
uncontrolled, they
should consider a cachexia treatment plan, based on
Hydrazine
Sulphate (see the
sample treatment plans). Yeast, which every
cancer patient has
throughout their body, converts complex carbohydrates
into simple
carbohydrates, so even whole grains should be avoided when
possible.
In any case, avoid commercially stored grains and potatoes.
Another reason to avoid even whole grains is that over the decades
the soil has become acidic and because of the soil many whole grains
have
more fungus than they did many decades ago.
Corn and rice
(because of
the way they are stored) are grains that should be totally
avoided.
Yeast (Baker's and Brewer's)
This is another reason for
avoiding processed bread and other bakery
products:
"Japanese
research links breast cancer with the ingestion of
goods baked with yeast."
The problem is mycotoxins, which are waste
products of yeast. There are many
health problems that can be
directly
attributed to yeast, including
arteriosclerosis, obesity, and AIDS.
NO
flour (using yeast) can be used in a cancer diet, not even if
whole grains
are used!
Meat, Fish, Fowl, Eggs, Dairy Products
All beef, all pork,
all turkey and all chicken should be
avoided during a cancer treatment.
There are many reasons for these
restrictions. The only exception is that if
a person is fighting
weight
loss,
some fresh, freshwater fish can be eaten if that is the ONLY
thing the
cancer patient will eat (e.g. they won't eat beans or
other legumes).
Avoid all dairy products, including butter, all cheeses and all
malts, except cottage cheese or
skim milk when used in the Budwig
Diet.
One exception is that
pregnant and nursing women should eat two
eggs per day because the choline
is necessary for the baby's brain
development and the baby takes precedence
since two eggs a day is
not life-threatening to a cancer patient.
If
a person must have milk, the only acceptable variety is
unprocessed
goat's milk, "from organically grown and grazing goats."
The Robert
O. Young book contains two long pages detailing why all
animal products are
bad for humans.
Specifically, meat is so bad for a cancer diet, I have a
separate
article on meats:
The Rule of Thumb is this: "if it contains
something that came from
an animal, it is forbidden!"
Sweeteners,
the Bad and the Good
ALL man-made sweeteners (e.g. aspartame - NutraSweet,
Equal) and fat
substitutes should also be avoided. These items are most
often
associated with brain cancer, but everyone should avoid them. This
is
one of many reasons soda pops are out of the question. Soda pops are
also acidic.
There is only one acceptable sweetener in a cancer diet
- Stevia,
which
is an herb.
Sugar and Refined Grains
You
should absolutely avoid eating refined sugar and refined grains
and
anything else refined. These things not only feed the fungus and
yeast
in your body, they also feed the cancer cells. The yeast in flour
makes
things even worse. Do not eat anything where yeast, fungus or mould
is
used, added or is a part of.
In addition, refined sugar and other
simple sugars also interfere
with
your immunity system. These substances
also interfere with getting
Vitamin C and
oxygen into the cancer cells. Sugar also depletes the
body
of key
minerals and other nutrients because of its acidity. It is
not
the
acidity that directly destroys the minerals, the acidity causes
the
body
to use the minerals to regulate the pH level in the body. The
same
is
true of all acidic foods.
The chain reaction caused in the body by
acidic foods (due to the
body's
attempts to keep the blood at a level
pH) is the cause, or a major
contributing factor, to almost all chronic
diseases, including
cancer.
It would take an entire book to describe how
the body keeps its pH
normal, and the ramifications of these processes. In
fact, that is
the
main theme of Dr. Young's book mentioned above.
Honey
If sugar is bad for people with cancer, how about honey,
another
simple
sugar? Honey is a case of both the good and the bad.
Honey contains
simple sugars, the fructose (38 percent) and glucose (31
percent)
feed
cancer cells. The good news is that honey contains
powerful phenolic
antioxidants. However, like grape juice, it should be
avoided unless
used in a very controlled "fast" (and I have never put
together
a "fast"
that includes honey). If such a "fast" is used, the
darker the honey
the
better (i.e. the higher concentration of
antioxidants) .
If a cancer patient absolutely has to have some
sweetness during his
or
her transition to a cancer diet, and Stevia is
not available, then
honey, in small amounts, is acceptable.
Fruits,
Dried Fruits and Fruit Juices
The only fruits that are allowed on this diet,
without restrictions,
are
the following: unsweetened lime, unsweetened
lemon, and avocados.
That
is it. Lemons are actually a required part of
any cancer treatment
because of their beneficial effect on the liver and
because they get
oxygen into the body. Lemon juice and lime juice should be
taken
primarily just before bedtime.
One exception to this general
rule is special fruit "fasts," such as
the
Johanna Brandt Grape Cure.
When the body gets nothing but a potent
fruit
mush, it is a potent
cancer cure.
Another exception to these general rules are for those on a
cesium
chloride protocol. They are allowed to eat fruits rich in potassium
in
order to meet their potassium quota.
Mushrooms (Fungi),
Seaweed and other Saccharides
There are some mushrooms that are used in
cancer treatments,
generally
as supplements. Realizing that some
mushrooms kill cancer cells, but
are
at the same time primarily a
fungus, take heed. Mushrooms are one of
the
good and bad foods. Use with
caution.
The good news about mushrooms is that they do contain
polysaccharides,
which are essential to the immunity system. Mushroom
supplements
such as
beta glucan are certainly acceptable to a cancer
diet.
"Polysaccharides from mushrooms do not attack cancer cells
directly,
but
produce their antitumor effects by activating different
immune
responses
in the host. The antitumor action of polysaccharides
requires an
intact
T-cell component; their activity is mediated through
a thymus-
dependent
immune mechanism."
Link to Article
Seaweed is
also high in polysaccharides, but the FDA crushed one of
the
superb
seaweed products from Tonga because
they claimed there was no
"scientific evidence" for seaweed. Apparently,
those in the FDA have
not
heard about the Nobel Prize. Actually, the FDA
has not only tried to
crush polysaccarides, but also the more potent
Acemannan
glyconutrient
sugars, which are required by the immunity
system to be able to
communicate.
Here is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
seaweed product, Modifilan (brown
seaweed
has at least 3 nutrients that
kill cancer cells; furanone,
fuecoiden,
and algenic acid):
http://www.naturall
ybetter.net/ modifilan_ main.htm
Aloe vera supplements can
also be high in polysaccharides and the
glyconutrients, but the
glyconutrients are very difficult to process
out
of the aloe vera.
The next items also provides polysaccharides.
Algae (e.g.
chlorella and spirulina)
Dr. Young says to stay away from blue-green algae,
chlorella and
spirulina. For cancer patients, I strongly disagree with this
advice
with regards to the chlorella and spirulina.
The benefits of
chlorella and spirulina to a cancer patient, I
believe,
far outweight
the negative aspects. Between spirulina and chlorella
they
contain:
polysaccharides (required for immune system
communications) ,
vitamin
B12, GLA, Chlorophyll Growth Factor (CGF) and a host of
other
powerful
anti-cancer nutrients. A vegan diet simply cannot provide
all
of these
things.
If you do choose to avoid these items, then make sure you eat
plenty
of
fresh organic broccoli.
Salt
Refined salt may be a
major cause of cancer. Refined salt, the wrong
fats, margarine and butter
are the main causes of red blood cells
sticking together (called: rouleau),
causing them to absorb less
oxygen
and making hemoglobin a free meal for
yeast and fungus. The clumped
together red blood cells do not get as much
oxygen into the cells of
the
body. Also, the clumped together red blood
cells cannot pass through
the
smaller arteries/capillarie s, meaning
much less (if any) oxygen gets
to
cells in these areas of the body, and
some of these cells may be
turned
to anaerobic (i.e. cancerous). As if
that weren't bad enough, once
the
cells are cancerous, the oxygen still
can't get to the cancer cells
to
slow down their spreading or kill them.
On the other hand, natural sea salt has a very similar mineral
content
as human blood. It is truly a health food as long as you don't
eat
too
much of it. Here is a quote:
"Salts obtained from solar
evaporation of sea water are entirely
different from modern refined salt.
The plural "salts' is
deliberately
used here, because sea water salts
are actually a complex blend of
trace
minerals, as well as calcium and
magnesium salts. This complex blend
is
essential to life, as Quinton's
research demonstrated.
Table salt today, [on the other hand,] is primarily
kiln-dried
sodium
chloride with anti-caking agents added. Trace
minerals, as well as
calcium, magnesium and potassium salts are removed in
processing.
Kiln-drying involves scorching salt at high heat to remove
moisture.
This refining process creates a product that is unnatural and hard
on
the body. It is the true culprit that contributes to high blood
pressure, heart trouble, kidney disease and eczema, among other
problems."

Another thing is for certain, the
organic mineral cell salts found
in
vegetables, seaweed, etc. are
critical.
Bad Fats and Oils
Other foods you should absolutely avoid
are trans fats, meaning
trans
fatty acids or partially hydrogenated
oils. Trans fatty acids may be
one
of the major causes of cancer. They
become part of the cell's wall
(replacing cholesterol) and make the cell
wall rigid or sticky and
can
make the cell anaerobic (i.e. the first
step to becoming cancerous)
because large oxygen clusters cannot get into
the cells.
Like refined salt, these fats also destroy the electrical
charge of
red
blood cells, causing them to "stick" together. When this
happens,
among
other things, the red blood cells do not get to many
cancer cells,
meaning the cancer cells get far less oxygen (if any), meaning
they
thrive because they are anaerobic.
Another bad food for cancer
patients is polyunsaturated oils.
Polyunsaturated oils (e.g. corn oils sold
in supermarkets
everywhere)
promote the growth of small blood vessels
(by promoting the
production
of "bad" prostaglandins) . This is bad for
cancer because it allows
tumors to grow new blood vessels. However, these
small blood vessels
are
good for preventing strokes. Thus, while on a
cancer diet avoid
polyunsaturated oils.
In short, avoid all heated
oils.
Herbs and Spices
All herbs and spices are acceptable, except
black pepper and other
highly acidic spices. Several herbs, such as Sheep
Sorrel and Black
Walnut, are known to be strong anti-cancer foods. Turmeric,
which
contains curcumin, is a spice that is a potent anti-cancer food.
As with all foods, the storage of herbs can cause them to be high in
fungus. Also, herbs should generally not be used on a non-stop
basis,
unless specifically instructed to take them daily. Generally, it is
best
to take a periodic break from herbs.
Junk Foods, Condiments and
Other Comments
You can forget about eating at a restaurant, big or small,
formal or
informal, unless it has a menu specifically for organic, raw
foods.
Condiments are absolutely forbidden. One of the most acidic foods
on
earth is black pepper (black pepper is a major cause of acid reflux
disease). Avoid soy sauce, pickled vegetables, relish, green olives,
sauerkraut, and cucumber pickles.
Basically, any "refined" or
processed food that contains sugar,
refined
salt, aspartame, MSG,
trans-fatty acids, coloring, other additives,
refined flour, etc. etc.
should be avoided. Even the cooking of food
kills critical enzymes needed
for digestion.
There is a trend in the food industry of making "no trans
fats"
foods.
This does not mean these are healthy foods. They are
processed.
While it is true that cooking does release some vitamins, by
a very
wide
margin, overall it is better to eat food raw, if it can be
safely
eaten
raw.
Need I even mention stopping smoking (no
matter what kind of cancer
you
have), because smoking puts more than 100
carcinogens in your body.
Tobacco is also very high in sugar, fungi and
yeasts. Part of this
is
due to they way tobacco leaves are processed.
Need I even mention stopping drinking alcohol (which is a "primary
mycotoxin"), which interferes with ALL treatment plans. Alcohol has
been
shown to greatly increase the incidence of childhood leukemia.
Need
I even mention caffeine (except when it is used as an enema),
because
caffeine restricts the blood vessels, meaning less oxygen
gets
to the
cancer cells. It is also acid-forming and mucoid-forming.
Sorry,
chocolate lovers.
Let us use some common sense in our choices.
Some Special Listed Foods
Peanuts are perhaps the number one food
that should be avoided
because
they are so high in fungus. Foods that
have little resistance to
invaders, when they are growing, are frequently
high in fungus.
Corn, rice (because of the way it is stored) and
potatoes, and any
foods
with corn, rice or potatoes, should be avoided,
also because of
fungus
and the way they are stored.
Cashews are
another food high in fungus.
Avoid processed apple juice for reasons
beyond the scope of this
article.
Avoid oranges, tangerines, and
dried fruits, for a variety of
reasons.
Do not microwave any foods
during a cancer diet.
Water and exercise
Every cancer patient should
drink as much natural water (i.e.
natural
spring water or natural
artesian water, processed with ozone) as
they
can, up to a gallon a day.
The many benefits of water are beyond the
scope of this article, but rest
assured it is important.
Also, a cancer patient should get as much
exercise as reasonable.
Exercise pumps the lymph system and helps get toxins
out of the
body.
Even if a person can do no more than lift 3 pound
weights for 10
minutes
while sitting in a chair, it will help.
As Dr. YOung emphasizes, it is also good to sweat in order to
release
toxins.
Raw Food Diet Recipes
Here is a website of
raw food diet recipes (make sure you follow the
above rules):
Raw Food
Diet Recipes
Warning: Very Important Safety Comment
Most green leafy
vegetables are high in vitamin K. It is
definitely
NOT
a good idea to eat high amounts of cabbage or other green
leafy
vegetables day after day. This can cause blood clotting and may lead
to
a stroke, for example. Use moderation and variety in your diet.
The Liver
According to Dr. Max Gerson, and others, even before the
symptoms of
cancer appear, the liver is damaged. As the cancer progresses,
the
damage to the liver also progresses.
The liver is the major
organ in the body which deals with toxins. A
person on an alternative cancer
treatment releases a lot of toxins
into
the blood stream which end up in
the liver. Because of this, the
liver
must be "detoxified" or
"cleansed."
There are some alternative treatments that contain liver
detoxification
elements in the treatment itself. The grape cure, Essiac
Tea,
barleygreens, and others, cleanse the liver along with the
treatment.
There are also a slew of herbs which "stimulate" or
"detoxify" the
liver. At the head of this class, as far as I know, is the
herb "Milk
Thistle."
Several alternative cancer treatments
specifically deal with the
liver
by using enemas. Coffee enemas are by
far the most common and are
part
of the Kelley metabolic plan, the
Gerson diet, the Hulda Clark
treatment, and others. "[Coffee enemas are]
said to open the bile
duct
of the liver so that it quickly sends
material into the colon for
elimination. " Occasionally, lemon enemas are
also used.
The bottom line is that in designing a treatment plan, the
care of
cleaning the liver is critical. If the toxins in the liver build up
and
are not removed, it can cause the death of the liver, which means
the
death of the patient.
"The liver (among its many other
functions) is the major organ of
detoxification. Anything we can do to ease
our toxic burden makes
the
liver's job easier – including eating less,
drinking more water,
reducing our intake of toxins, exercising more, eating
more fibre,
and
so on. There are also a number of herbs that help the
liver with its
detoxification tasks. These include dandelion root, yellow
dock,
burdock, chickweed and barberry – which are more effective when
taken in
combination than singly."

Another thing that will ease the burden on the
liver is the lymph
system. The lymph system also helps remove toxins from
the blood,
but
the lymph system does not have a "pump," such as the
circulatory
system
has (the "pump" of the circulatory system is the
heart). The lymph
system is only pumped by exercise.
"Like the
cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is made up of
channels or
vessels, valves and filters (nodes). Unlike the
bloodstream
system,
however, there is no pump like the heart. Instead, the
lymphatic
fluid
is forced through the system by the action of the muscles and
breathing."
http://www.cbass.
com/lymph. htm
The lymphatic system is critical to the immunity
system, to the
treatment of cancer and to taking a burden off of the liver.
Many
cancer
patients, for a variety of reasons, are in no condition to
go for
long
walks, jog, or do other types of exercise. However, the good
news is
that the arm muscles are just as good, and perhaps better, at
pumping
the lymphatic system as are the legs. Thus, lifting hand weights
can
accomplish much in helping the lymphatic system.
However, prior
to cleansing the liver of toxins, the colon must be
cleansed so that the
toxins can be dumped into the colon!! This
means
that at the beginning
of any alternative cancer treatment, there
must be
a colon cleanse.
"It is important to make sure that the colon is in good shape before
stimulating the healing of the liver. If toxins cannot be excreted,
the
liver may store them, causing harm."

A Note About Quality (i.e. Vendors)
There are many
different natural treatments for cancer where their
effectiveness is
completely a function of the quality of the
product.
For example, there
are many Noni Juice manufacturers. Some of their
products are terrific and
others are total junk. There are many
Essiac
Tea vendors, some of their
products are excellent, some are total
junk.
There are many vitamin
manufacturers, and some of their products are
good and some are total junk.
Graviola is the same way, much of it
is
junk, but the tree has great
nutrients. Pau d' Arco is
very
difficult to
process correctly and I am not sure any vendor does it
right. And so
on.
No matter what you buy, you must be aware that the
formula might be
excellent, but the quality of the product may be poor.
This is one reason why a product from one vendor may work wonders
for
one person, but the same product from a different vendor may not
work at
all for others.
It is difficult to evaluate the quality
of natural products. One
reason
is that natural products take longer to
become effective than the
orthodox pills that treat symptoms instead of
causes. This means it
takes longer to evaluate.
These are some of
the reasons that I recommend using multiple
treatments
at the same time.
One or two of the products may be inferior
quality,
but other products
may make up for the slack.
But this approach is another reason it is
difficult to evaluate
natural
products. You don't know which of the
products are working and which
are
not.
In some cases, the
product is only manufactured by one vendor, such
as
when there is a
patent or a brand name. However, even in this case
the
selling
companies, or shipping companies, may allow the product to
be
exposed to
high temperatures which might destroy much of the value
of
the product.
Only when you make the product yourself, and buy the ingredients
locally, can you be certain of its quality. That is why it is always
advisable that at least one or two key treatments in your protocol
are
purchased locally at a grocery store or health food store, and put
together at your home.
Having said all of this, there are some
vendor products that have a
long
history of superb quality and
effectiveness. This is where "word of
mouth" is important and testimonials
on the internet are important.
All in all, beware. If your treatment is
not providing significant
improvement in your condition, it may be time to
change vendors or
change products.
This is another reason I say to
never stop doing your homework. You
never know when you will find some key
piece of information that
will
direct you to make a significant change.
The Distressing Symptoms of a Severe Change in Diet
When you go on a
natural treatment for cancer, such as the grape
cure,
hydrogen peroxide,
raw food diet (i.e. carrot-based vegetable
juice),
etc. you can expect
some strong reactions from the body. As Johanna
Brandt put it:
"The
grape is, as far as I know, the most powerful nature solvent of
some
chemical deposits, and at the same time the most drastic
eliminator. Because
of its extraordinary properties, the avenues of
excretion become superbly
active under a proper grape diet." (page
102)
Other foods and
treatments can also yield these results. Here are a
sample of things I have
run into:
"[After starting an alternative treatment program] I had
chemotherapy
coming out the pores of my skin, even though it had been
months
since I
had any. I had to take showers several times a day to
wash this
stuff
off because it would burn my skin as it came out. It
smelled putrid.
It
was just awful, the toxic stuff that was coming out
of me."
"Something else I noticed was that any time she had a bowel
movement
(which became quite frequent after the start of the diet) it was so
foul
smelling, almost like she was excreting rotten flesh!"
"He
is doing well at taking everything as he is supposed to. My
sister
said
that she noticed a foul odor 'like it was coming out his pores'
last Sunday.
She said it smelled horrible and was nauseating and
unbearable."
And
if you are on a colon flush, it gets worse: "He reported lumps
of
foul
smelling substances that looked like 'rotten hamburger'
flushing
out of
his colon, his urine was strong and dark, and he had
occasional
headaches."
These symptoms, plus diarrhea, constipation, etc. can
all result
from a
massive change in diet or the treatment itself. They
are common,
they
are normal and usually they are an indication the
treatment is
working!
