where to get protein following anti-cancer protocol?

August 17, 2009

From what I've read the protocol advises against eating any animal protein.

Where then does one get protein? (I've had issues with a lot of commercial soy

products out there btw.)

Also, wouldn't starches such as rice or bread be discouraged, as they convert to

sugar?

Any dietary guidelines from anyone on the program would be appreciated. Just

wonder what most of you eat in general actually. Thanks.

Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green algae. It is a simple, one-celled form of algae that

thrives in warm, alkaline fresh-water bodies. The name " spirulina " is derived

from the Latin word for " helix " or " spiral " ; denoting the physical configuration

of the organism when it forms swirling, microscopic strands.

Spirulina is being developed as the " food of the future " because of its amazing

ability to synthesize high-quality concentrated food more efficiently than any

other algae. Most notably, Spirulina is 65 to 71 percent complete protein, with

all essential amino acids in perfect balance. In comparison, beef is only 22

percent protein.

Spirulina has a photosynthetic conversion rate of 8 to 10 percent, compared to

only 3 percent in such land-growing plants as soybeans.

Spirulina also provides high concentrations of many other nutrients - amino

acids, chelated minerals, pigmentations, rhamnose sugars (complex natural plant

sugars), trace elements, enzymes - that are in an easily assimilable form.

Even though it is single-celled, Spirulina is relatively large, attaining sizes

of 0.5 millimeters in length. This is about 100 times the size of most other

algae, which makes some individual Spirulina cells visible to the naked eye.

Furthermore, the prolific reproductive capacity of the cells and their

proclivity to adhere in colonies makes Spirulina a large and easily gathered

plant mass.

The algae are differentiated according to predominating colorations, and are

divided into blue-green, green, red and brown. Spirulina is one of the

blue-green algae due to the presence of both chlorophyll (green) and phycocyanin

(blue) pigments in its cellular structure.

Even though Spirulina is distantly related to the kelp algae, it is not a sea

plant. However, the fresh-water ponds and lakes it favors are notably more

alkaline - in the range of 8 to 11 pH than ordinary lakes and cannot sustain any

other forms of microorganisms. In addition, Spirulina thrives in very warm

waters of 32 to 45 degrees C (approximately 85 to 112 degrees F), and has even

survived in temperatures of 60 degrees C (140 degrees F).

Certain desert-adapted species will survive when their pond habitats evaporate

in the intense sun, drying to a dormant state on rocks as hot as 70 degrees

Centigrade (160 degrees F). In this dormant condition, the naturally blue-green

algae turns a frosted white and develops a sweet flavor as its 71 percent

protein structure is transformed into polysaccharide sugars by the heat.

Some scientists speculate that the " manna " of the wandering Israelites, which

appeared miraculously on rocks following a devastating dry spell and was

described as tasting " like wafers made with honey " may have been a form of

dried, dormant Spirulina.

This ability of Spirulina to grow in hot and alkaline environments ensures its

hygienic status, as no other organisms can survive to pollute the waters in

which this algae thrives. Unlike the stereotypical association of microorganisms

with " germs " and " scum " , Spirulina is in fact one of the cleanest, most

naturally sterile foods found in nature.

Its adaptation to heat also assures that Spirulina retains its nutritional value

when subject to high temperatures during processing and shelf storage, unlike

many plant foods that rapidly deteriorate at high temperatures.

Spirulina is also unusual among algae because it is a " nuclear plant " meaning it

is on the developmental cusp between plants and animals. It is considered

somewhat above plants because it does not have the hard cellulose membranes

characteristic of plant cells, nor does it have a well-defined nucleus. Yet its

metabolic system is based on photosynthesis, a process of direct food energy

production utilizing sunlight and chlorophyll, which is typical of plant life

forms.

In essence, Spirulina straddles that fork in evolutionary development when the

plant and animal kingdoms differentiated. Thus it embodies the simplest form of

life. In contrast, other algae such as Chlorella have developed the hard

indigestible walls characteristic of plants.

Nuts, legumes and whole grains, especially quinoia, blue green algae such as

spirulina, chlorella, and that stuff that grows in Klamath Lake. You can buy

rice protein powder. There are a number of soy free vegan protein powders

available for making smoothies.

You are absolutely right about soy, here a video of Dr Mc Dougall on the

subject.

Soy and milk are the worst enemies o cancer patients . See why to eat only

organic and

Wow! Thank you for explaining "Spirulina" That gives me a much better understanding! Elizabeth
