According to the leading biological cancer specialists in Europe, Zabel, Issels, Kollath, Meyer, Lampert, Kuhl and Warburg there is, indeed, such a thing as an anti-cancer diet-a diet that can help prevent cancer, as well as help the body to cure it.
Dr. Issels advises the following anti-cancer diet to help the body prevent cancer, or to assist the body’s healing mechanism, when cancer has already developed:
1. Diet must consist exclusively of organically grown foods, which are free from carcinogenic chemicals, such as toxic additives, insecticide residues, preservatives and other man-made chemicals.
2. Most foods must be eaten in their natural, raw state, especially fresh fruits and raw vegetable salad.
3. Nuts should form a part of the daily diet. The best nuts are almonds and walnuts.
4. The diet should include generous amounts of fermented (lactic acid) foods, such as naturally fermented grains and fermented juices. According to Dr. Johannes Kuhl, the originator of the lactic acid fermentation diet for cancer, 50 to 75 per cent of the daily diet should be made up of lactic acid fermented foods.
5. The diet should include moderate amount of easily-digested proteins. These should comprise mostly vegetable origin, foods, such as green leafy vegetables, potatoes, sprouted seeds and grains, nuts, and raw, unheated, home-made cottage cheese from high quality unpasterised milk.
6. All other animal proteins like meat, fowl, eggs or fish should be completely eliminated from the diet.
7. Milk and milk products should be taken mostly in fermented and soured forms. The best forms of soured milks are acidophilus milk, natural buttermilk and home-made soured milk, preferably made from goat’s milk. Goat’s milk is better than cow’s milk. Raw goat’s milk of high quality contains anti-cancer and anti-arthritis factors.
8. Avoid saturated and cholesterol-rich animal fats, including butter. These should be replaced with a moderate amount of genuine, cold-pressed vegetable oils, especially sunflower seed oil, flaxseed oil, soya bean oil and safflower oil. Oils should never be heated.
9. Eliminate from the diet, all processed and denatured foods, especially all refined carbohydrates, such as white flour and white sugar, and all foods made from
them.
At least three-fourth of the food consumed should consist of all kinds of fruits, mostly fresh; freshly prepared juices from fruits such as orange, grapefruit, grapes, apple and pineapple; fruit salads; mashed bananas, raw grated apples, and apple sauce; raw or freshly-prepared steamed or lightly-cooked vegetables such as carrots, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, tomato, onion and baked potatoes; and whole grain cereals and milk and milk products like curd, butter milk and cottage cheese.
The treatment of cancer thus consists of a complete change in diet, besides total elimination of all environmental sources of carcinogens. As a first step, the patient should cleanse the system by thoroughly relieving constipation and making all the organs of elimination active. Warm-water enema should be used daily to cleanse the bowels.
