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 fruit drinks also does this.

 

This is why so many cancer diets are very high in certain raw vegetables and

certain raw fruits.

 

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.

Great Article! I do believe, and I tell my clients, you have to put food

first.

When you look at the foods that are healthy, and the ones that fight this

disease, you come up with fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.

I don't think it is a coincidence that these foods are the staples of the

macrobiotic diet, which is considered a " cancer diet " .

 

We need to eat foods that fight the disease, not ones that feed the disease.

Eating is a habit, and it can just as easily be a good habit as a bad one.

It is not difficult, it is just different.

 

We are lucky we live in this age. We have the knowledge, and it is so much

easier to do. Now, you can have snack foods and convenience foods that are

macrobiotic. You can even have macrobiotic foods delivered right to your

door, like I do.

 

It is amazing how much better a person feels when they start eating natural

whole foods.
