Eating to Heal Cancer

(Weatherford, Texas U.S.A.)

My son of 30 years has found out he has Nodular Hodgkin Lymphocyte predominate. They say he is incurable. He eats awful and was wondering...if the alkaline food diet, or something else could help in his healing? What suggestions would you have?

Thank you,

Kelly

Michelle says: Hi Kelly, sorry to hear about your son having Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Do you think your son is open and ready to make changes to his diet? That would be a very important first step....

But ultimately, our Creator is the true healer. He designed our bodies to recover and repair naturally. In the beginning He gave humans a plant-based diet to eat (see Genesis 1:29 and Genesis 3:18). This diet is made up of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds - all organic if possible.

It may seem simple, but there is scientific evidence now available that clearly shows (beyond any shadow of a doubt) that the plant-based diet is an anti-cancer diet. It also helps to fight and prevent other common diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, strokes, etc. There's a book out called The China Study that will give you all the details of that study. You'll also get more information on the diet itself.

Within the plant-based diet, it is important to focus on foods that cleanse and nourish the body. Foods that are high in antioxidants are also very important. This is not an exhaustive list, but here are a few examples:


BarleyLife - BarleyLife is a whole food concentrate made from the juice of young barley plants. It is very high in antioxidants and other nutrients that help to cleanse, repair, and nourish the body. It is especially great for anyone who is not able to make fresh green drinks every day.

Carrot Juice - also helps to detoxify and nourish the body. It is full of cancer fighting vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

Virgin Coconut Oil - virgin coconut oil is full of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA's). According to the research, MCFA's have anticancer effects. Studies also show that MCFA's help to enhance your immune system. Having a healthy immune system is important for fighting cancer cells. Virgin coconut oil also happens to have antioxidant properties. Pretty amazing! You can read more about how coconut oil can help in the book Coconut Cures by Bruce Fife.

Our bodies are made up of what we feed them. If you feed yourself on junk food, you're not going to have the building blocks you need to have a body that can resist disease. In order to have a strong body that can fight off disease, you absolutely must feed yourself with food that has a good nutritional value. There is no way around it. Hopefully your son will start to feed his body with the healthy food it requires. All the best!
