The Concept of a Cancer Diet

The Concept of a Cancer Diet

http://www.cancertutor.com/AltTreatments/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.barleypower.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.thewolfeclinic.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.naturallybetter.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/capillaries, 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. "

http://www.macrobiotic.org/thalass.htm

 

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.

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. "

http://www.mysticalwildes.builderspot.com/page/page/1026287.htm

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!
