The
Cancer-Fighting Diet: How to Do It
Key Concepts
-
This
is not a "lose weight diet." It is a
"save-your-life" diet. Be sure you understand the
difference.
-
Humans
were originally grazers and foragers, eating
small amounts of food here and there throughout the day. Eating
three meals a day is known as "bolus eating" (consuming
large volumes in one sitting). No other creature on earth
intentionally "bolus eats" the way humans do. In the
cancer-fighting diet, the words, breakfast, lunch,
and dinner are meaningless and are not used.
-
You
will eat specified foods with specified vitamins and other
supplements 6 times per day (as described later) for at least 2-3 months, then
go back to your oncologist to check on the status of your cancer.
-
The foods in
each of the 6 “eating times” were planned with the indicated vitamins and herbals in carefully defined
combinations (see Rationale for Foods &
Supplements). The combinations are based on: 1) the timing of
daily growth and reproductive phases of the different cells of your
immune system; and 2) on "molecular bonding" of the
supplements with the foods, which ensures that they are absorbed by
your body.
For these reasons, although you may switch “# 3” with “# 4,” be sure you do so in its entirety--both the foods and
supplements. DO NOT, however, change “# 5” and
“# 6” with each other or anything else. Our body functions are governed by
"biological
clock" throughout a 24-hour daily cycle, and
this diet is timed to correspond with those bio-rhythms.
-
For
the first 2-3 months, NEVER eat any of the following foods and NEVER
use laxatives (see Forbidden
Foods for explanation):
a. Red meat (beef, veal, lamb, etc.)
b. Ham, pork, bacon, or other pork products
c. Processed meats such as hot dogs, lunch meats, or
coldcuts
(even turkey coldcuts)
c. Coffee
d. Margarine, shortening, vegetable oils (except olive and
canola oils),
and foods containing trans fats. (Trans fats are identified as
"hydrogenated" or "partially hydrogenated" oils. READ FOOD
LABELS
CAREFULLY.)
-
Although
sugar is not entirely off-limits, you'll also want to go easy on
sugary foods.
[Lists of preferred food and foods to avoid
are given under xxx.]
-
When
your oncologist determines with an MRI, CT scan, or PET scan that your
tumors are shrinking and the cancer has not spread, continue to follow the diet
strictly for another 4-6 months, then get evaluated again. The amount
of time it will take for your cancer to be eliminated depends on
many things, such as they type of cancer and how far it has
progressed when you begin the diet. Another key factor is your
age. The older you are, the longer it takes to work.*
-
Even when
there is no sign of remaining cancer, continue to maintain some
level of the diet. Remember that one single,
completely undetectable cancer cell is all it takes to begin growing
another tumor. Keeping the immune system healthy and strong with the
recommended foods and supplements will ensure that not even one
cancer cell can survive and form a tumor.
* Our immune systems decline as we age. For people in their
70's and older, it may take several
months to rebuild the immune system, then even longer for
their immune systems to fight the cancer.
