How it seems to work

I have always been fascinated by how things work......
When using diet to beat cancer it seems that 3 issues are critical:
  • Stop feeding the cancer. Take note of what a well renowned researcher found out many years ago:
1931/1944 Nobel prize winner- Prof. Otto Warburg said:
“…the prime cause of cancer is the replacement of the respiration of oxygen in normal body cells by a fermentation of sugar..”
Cancer seems to be a sugar feeder. Therefore it is vital to eliminate all sources of refined sugar and refined substances that readily turn into sugar. Basically don't eat anything white - white sugar, white bread, white potatoes or white rice.
  • Try and eat as many things that are deadly to cancer. This includes many phytochemicals described in the 'beating cancer diet' on this blog. For example ellagic acid in many dark berries or the indoles in cabbage are cancer killers.
  • Tumors may need to be debulked. This may involve radiation, chemotherapy or surgery or maybe a combination of these.
