Diet is a very, very important factor when it comes to the
subject of cancer awareness and prevention. Cancer can
manifest (or not) as a result of what you have been putting
on your plate day in day out: To be cancer-free it is vital
to stay committed to a diet that serves as a form of
prevention. Naturally, those who are suffering from cancer
need to be more critical towards their diet.
A cancer prevention diet must be:
1. Immune system building 2. Be natural (organic) wholesome
food 3. Undamaged and not devalued from the ravages of heat
treatment 4. Be free of toxins 5. Sugar free, because this
substance feeds cancer cells 6. Keep the individual well
hydrated (plentiful water supply)
Some Examples Of A Cancer Free Diet
Types Of Nutrition
Remember, all the following vitamins work synergistically
with each other. It has been said that the most potent
anti-cancer vitamin is B-17, known as laetrile in its more
pure form. This is the main nutrition source used in
'metabolic nutritional therapy', which has been shown to
successfully reverse the cancer condition. Vitamin B-17
reacts with an enzyme in the cancer cell, which, in effect,
destroys the cancer. It is found in apricot kernels and
other seed-bearing fruits like strawberry and raspberry.
Other examples include, nuts, chic peas, broccoli, broad
beans, lentils and bamboo shoots.
Other important vitamin sources include: Vitamin C with its
powerful anti-oxidant properties, found in gogi berries,
citrus fruits, apples and potatoes... Anti-oxidants can
'mop up' free radicals that would otherwise be potentially
harmful to the body. These food sources are essential in
that they are good immune system builders.
In this synergistic approach to killing the cancer cells,
Vitamin A (retinol) is an essential. This is found in
carrots, red and orange fruits, egg yolks and dairy. It
improves metabolic efficiency.
Whether you've been diagnosed with cancer or not, a body
detoxification is always a smart move in the cancer
prevention process. Vitamin B17 (pangamic acid), present in
silymarin (which can be gotten as a supplement) can be used
for detoxification. Remember, cancer cells do not like
oxygen and a well-detoxed body has plenty of oxygen rich
cells...
Besides silymarin, other minerals like zinc, which
transports vitamin B-17 or laetrile into the cancer cell is
an essential supplement. So is selenium, which prevents the
formation of free radicals, and calcium for keeping the
body towards an alkalised state, found in mushrooms,
onions, almonds, broccoli seeds and beans.
It should be noted that the above is not an exhaustive
account of what should or shouldn't be eaten: There are
many good websites and books on cancer awareness and
prevention from the naturopathic perspective.
