FIGHT CANCER CELLS WITH YOUR DIET

Welcome to a new day on this blog.

We all know that the major method of treating cancer is by using chemotherapy and radiation. However these methods have very horrible after-effect that makes it very unbearable for cancer patients. However recently there has been the suggestion that monitoring your diet can help kill the cancer cells and decrease the extent to which you might need chemotherapy and radiation.

Here are a few things that you need to avoid/consume to help you fight cancer cells in your body. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.

Cancer cells feeds on some foods and survive. Examples are:
1. Sugar: It is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like aspartame should not be used too because it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be honey and molasses but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. A better alternative is Bragg’s aminos or sea salt.

2. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastrointestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved.

3. Cancer cells thrive in acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer.

4. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. It is best to drink purified water or filtered water to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, so avoid it.

5. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.

You can however consume a diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruit while 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (and eat fresh fruits) including bean sprouts and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40oC).
