Diet Therapies for cancer.
Virtually all alternative care practitioners, clinics and hospitals immediately focus on a patient's diet. There are many good books and websites on this subject. To find Certified Nutritionists (CNs) to consult with near you or by phone, see www.certifiednutritionist.com. Ask about their experience designing cancer diets for patients. CNs are generally more open to alternative approaches than are Registered Dieticians.
Hallelujah Acres Diet. Yes, an odd name. Developed by Dr. George Malkmus, this vegetarian approach has helped people with a wide variety of diseases and is frequently praised by those who have reversed cancer using natural means. See www.hacres.com.
Sun Farms
. These folks make a good tasting vegetable soup with medicinal mushrooms and herbs which is gaining quite a reputation for fighting cancer. www.tienyi.com/sunfarm/framesfhome.html, phone 203-882-8000
The Gerson Diet. Another approach deserving special mention. A rigorous but very effective cancer therapy now over 70 (yes, 70) years old. An abundance of nutrients from thirteen fresh, organic juices are consumed every day, providing your body with a superdose of enzymes, minerals and nutrients. These substances then break down diseased tissue in the body, while specialized enemas aid in eliminating the lifelong buildup of toxins. (More on Gerson later.)The Kelley Metabolic diet. Special mention is required here regarding Dr. Donald Kelley DDS, an under-appreciated dentist who has been a dedicated scientist, researcher and humanitarian for decades.
In the 1970s he pioneered a breakthrough diet system based on body types. His system, modified to include certain pancreatic enzymes, has proven highly successful against cancer.
As his reputation spread through the years, thousands of cancer sufferers sought him out. Despite the proven success of his dietary approach, he endured endless harassment by a host of government agencies claiming he was practicing medicine without a license and guilty of "other charges". He was a dentist - not an MD they claimed. No matter his methods of curing cancer had a success rate of well over 90% within 6 months for those that follow his program exactly. Meticulous records kept over the years back up that statistic.
This wonderful man is still with us but now retired. His breakthrough work is being continued by Dr. Nicolas Gonzalez in New York, complete with funding from the U.S. federal government so that he may "research and develop" a system identical to Dr. Kelley's. Such is the politics of cancer in the USA. May God bless Dr. Kelley.
It is hoped Dr. Kelley will one day get the long-overdue credit this pioneering genius and humanitarian deserves. You can read his book, "One Answer to Cancer" online at no charge. See www.whale.to/cancer/k/Contents.html.
The Ann Wigmore Diet
. Similar in some respect to the Gerson diet. This very successful approach focuses on lots of raw foods. See www.rawfood.com/wigmore.html"Beating Cancer with Nutrition".
A book by Patrick Quillan PhD, a very active nutritionist today with a focus on cancer related diets and products. See www.4nutrition.com/beating_cancer.html. Dr. Quillan has been the chief nutritionist for Cancer Treatment Centers of America."The Little Cyanide Cookbook". Written by June DeSpain. An amusing title referring to recipes for meals high in amygdalin, or Laetrile, which occurs naturally in 1200 fruits, grains, grasses etc. Laetrile, well known in alternative cancer circles worldwide for over 60 years, is a popular, effective, all-natural cancer treatment. Literally millions of people around the world have used it. It remains banned to doctors in the USA. More on this important issue later.
"What to Eat if you have Cancer"
. The title says it all. By Maureen Keene.Norman W. Walker, Ph.D. For more than 100 years (yes, 100 years) Norman Walker proved through research, experience and personal example the importance of raw foods in the diet. Slowly but surely, modern day nutritionists and health researchers of all kinds are finally coming to realize what this amazing man knew and taught throughout the twentieth century. Finally passing away at the age of 118, he was living proof that a long, healthy, productive and enjoyable life begins with raw foods, mental poise, and intelligent body care. Inexpensive books are available describing his most important messages. See www.rawfood.com/walker.html.
"A Cancer Battle Plan".
by Ann Frahm. Another important book (also mentioned below) written by a breast cancer survivor who refused conventional treatments and successfully developed her own system to beat cancer. Many women attribute their success in beating breast cancer using the alternative approaches in this book.Fluoride in tap water
. Japanese scientists have proven the levels of fluoride in American drinking water are capable of transforming normal cells into cancer cells. Research as far back as 1963 by the American Cancer Institute showed that even low levels of fluoride increased the incidence of tumors in experimental animals by 12% to 100%. Yet we still fluoridate our water. Buy the most effective tap water filter you can afford!And speaking of water, here's an short, well-written article on the importance of getting enough of the right type of water - every day. A much overlooked aspect of good health! www.thirstyplanet.com.au/water_facts.htm
