Perhaps no other diagnosis is as feared. Yet many people fear the
treatment options nearly as much as the disease itself—and rightly so.
Conventional cancer therapy is toxic and dehumanizing—and, by and
large, it doesn’t work. Its reliance on aggressive, invasive, and
toxic methods such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy is
based on the faulty paradigm that the body must be purged of cancer by
any means necessary. This may have seemed reasonable in the early
1890’s when William Halstead, M.D., performed the first radical
mastectomy, but it has proven to be so wrong over the last century that
continuing to adhere to it constitutes more fraud than honest mistake.
In this report, I am not going to tell you
what you should do if you have cancer. Only you can make that decision.
However, I will tell you what I would do if I had cancer. Equally
important, I well tell you what I wouldn’t do. To begin with, I
wouldn’t accept a diagnosis of cancer as a death sentence. I
wouldn’t swallow everything my doctors told me. I would research
treatment alternatives and become my own expert on my condition. In
short, I would fight for my life by all means available to me.
The
strategies that I would use to fight
cancer are similar to strategies I would use to fight any serious
illness such as heart disease or diabetes: dietary modifications,
targeted nutritional supplements, and other natural therapies. The
beauty of these therapies is that they can be used with whatever other
treatment—conventional or alternative—you would choose to undergo.
Together, they give your body a fighting chance to heal itself. Let’s
first look at my anticancer diet.
My
Cancer-Fighting Diet
Diet
is a more powerful cancer therapy then most people realize. There
is solid evidence that improved nutrition strengthens the immune system,
slows the growth of tumors, and protects against metastasis (the spread
of cancer). In
a study conducted at the University of Victoria, B.C. researchers
examined 200 cancer patients who had experienced “spontaneous
regression” (an inexplicable cure or tumor reduction). A full 87 per
cent of these patients had made major changes in their diets.
If I had cancer, I
would take this research to heart. I would switch to a primarily
vegetarian diet and eliminate virtually all sources of saturated fat,
including meat and dairy products, as well as trans fatty acids found in
processed foods. Diets high in these saturated fat and trans fatty acids
have shown to stimulate cancer growth. At the same time, I would include
healthy fats from cold-water fish (salmon, tuna, and mackerel) and
flaxseed. The omega-3 essential fatty acids in these foods are proven to
protect against cancer.
