The Diet: What It Is, and What It's Not

What It Is

  • It is a highly specific dietary regimen (eating program) for adults with diagnosed cancers, who are not currently receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy or who have completed surgery or other medical treatments. 

  • It requires normal  (not "mega") dosages of several vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements, in combination with certain foods, taken at specific times of the day. The objective is to maximize the absorption of the critical nutrients and active substances that can shrink existing tumors and prevent the formation of new ones.

  • It is based on scientific studies that have been published in reputable journals. 

  • It contains foods and supplements that act in six different ways to help eliminate existing tumors and to keep new ones from forming. 

    1) It enhances and restores the immune system with biologically active substances derived from plants.

    2) It improves the body's natural ability to prevent cancer-causing damage to cells.

    3) It helps to repair damage to cells that has already occurred and has the potential to become cancer.

    4) It slows or stops  the growth of new blood vessels to feed existing tumors. 

    5) It prevents existing cancer from spreading (metastasizing) to other tissues and other parts of the body. 

    6) It causes cancer cells in existing tumors to "commit suicide" by inducing a process called apoptosis. This process ends with the death of cells and occurs as a normal and controlled part of all living things' growth or development. It is blocked in cancer cells, which enables them to grow out of control and form tumors.

  • It can be used to fight any kind or stage of cancer, either as a first and only treatment or after conventional medical therapy (chemotherapy, radiation) is finished. 

  • It is free and based on open information, all of which is provided on the web site.  Everything you need to take-- all the foods and all the supplements-- can be found at most drugstores and health food stores. We do not sell anything.

  • It will not work, however if:

    • The person with cancer is currently being treated with chemotherapy or extensive radiation therapy.  Because the eating regimen destroys existing tumors and stops cancer from spreading largely by restoring and enhancing the immune system, it cannot work during these treatments, which  weaken or destroy the immune system.

    • The cancer is so extensive, or prior medical treatments were so damaging, that a vital organ or organ system has failed irreversibly. Vital organs are those that are essential for the body's existence, such as the brain, heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and pancreas.

What It's Not

  • It is not a "complementary" therapy. Complementary therapies are used in combination with conventional treatments, such as chemotherapy and radiation. These treatments weaken the immune system and prevent the diet from working (see Conventional Cancer Treatments). It can, however, be used after such treatments, to help restore the immune system and to prevent new tumors from forming.  (NOTE: There is growing scientific evidence that certain food  supplements make chemotherapy and radiation work better against cancer cells, while protecting normal cells from damage and reducing other common side effects. A section about these nutrients will be added to this web site soon.)

  • It is not a list of general guidelines for lowering cancer risk. 

  • It is not a weight-loss diet.

  • It is not a "macrobiotic" diet. 

  • It does not require "mega-doses" of vitamins and other supplements; in fact, in most cases, it calls for the lowest available dosage of each supplement.

  • It does not involve any proprietary powders or pills, enzymes, extracts, glandular concentrates, electrical charges, or  "frequency generators," or any other substances or devices that have not been studied by qualified researchers and documented by publication in reputable scientific journals. 

  • It does not require body cleansing, fasting, or enemas.

  • It does not  "make the body alkaline."

  • It does not poison cancer cells.

  • It is not based on religious, spiritual, or mystical beliefs, or blood or body types.
