How do you cook your foods? Do you opt for grilling, boiling, broiling, baking, or frying? Or a combination between cooked and raw? You may not realize how nutrient deficient your diet really is. The choice you’re making could be promoting cancer in your body. Let’s say your protein consists of hot dogs, hamburgers, and pot roast. It’s important that you choose the healthiest options of these. For example, hot dogs (along with deli meats and sausages) contain sodium nitrite. It’s a carcinogenic preservative that’s been linked to gastric cancer. iii What about the pot roast and hamburgers? They aren’t good if they come from a traditional factory‐farm diet. It means you’re ingesting meat from animals raised on hormones. Their feed is high in omega‐6 fatty acids—known to boost inflammation. That will lead to oxidation in the body. These reactions boost your chances of developing cancer. It’s really as simple as trading up… If you want to eat meat, trade out the bad meat for the good. Next time you go to the grocery store, look for meat from animals raised on organic, grass‐fed diets. Ignore the factoryfarmed meat overburdened with omega‐6. A grass‐fed diet boosts the animal’s amount omega‐3 fatty acids. It has the opposite effect of consuming excess omega‐6s… it reduces inflammation. iv Beef from grass‐fed cows has a safer ratio of omega‐3 to omega‐6 fatty acids, which makes it far less dangerous to consume. And with this kind of beef, you can enjoy fattier, tastier cuts of meat without having to worry about what you’re really eating. Another way to boost your intake of beneficial omega‐3 fatty acids is to add flaxseed oil to your diet. You can use it as a base for salad dressing. You can mix ground flaxseed easily into baked goods, smoothies, cereal, or yogurt. It’s an excellent source of alpha‐linolenic acid (ALA). ALA contains lignans that have an antioxidative effect. v In order to receive full benefit, grind the seeds before ingesting. Otherwise they will likely pass whole through your system. A switch in eating habits can seem overwhelming at first. But you don’t have to change everything overnight. To begin making lasting changes, implement them gradually.Look at your grocery list and think about how you can improve. You should always choose organic fruits and vegetables. This reduces the amount of toxic load building in your body. It helps avoid the heavy doses of pesticides used in conventional farming practices. One study found a link between a diet and survival in women diagnosed with early‐stage breast cancer. A diet based on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and low‐fat dairy showed an overall improved prognosis. vi We don’t recommend that you put an emphasis on grains or dairy. They cause inflammation. Increasing fruit and vegetable intake could potentially prevent more than 20 percent of cancer cases. That would stop about 200,000 cancer‐related deaths each year. vii You should avoid processed foods with additives and preservatives. Extra “refinement” in food actually strips away its nutrients. It’s tossing nutritional gold right into the garbage. One of the most important things to do is to eliminate sugar. Cancer cells sop up glucose. It’s what allows them to grow. In the war against cancer, a diet heavy in sugar is the equivalent of feeding the enemy. viii This is also why a ketogenic diet, which replaces carbohydrates with ketones from fats for energy, restricts grains. Like sugar, they give cancer cells the glucose they need to wreak havoc in your body. Another thing to consider is how you’re preparing foods. Preparing foods at high temperatures— charring, frying, and broiling—has been linked to cancer. ix When a food is cooked fast, it produces byproducts. These byproducts are advanced glycation end‐products (AGEs). Eating AGEs promote inflammation in the body. And they can build up over time. VISIT US ONLINE AT WWW.INHRESEARCH.COM Page 6
Instead, try baking or gently sautéing foods at 350 degrees or below. This keeps foods from losing their nutrition and producing byproducts. Some cancer patients have reported evidence of success in switching over to a raw food diet. This means no cooking… and retention of all nutrients. Advocates point to many institutions’ advice for both cancer patients and those who want to reduce their risk of cancer to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.It makes sense. The total nutrient content of the food is preserved. It’s available to your body in its entirety. And raw foods don’t contain any processed fats, sugars, preservatives, or additives. But for some foods, like leafy green vegetables, gentle cooking releases even more of nutrients that your body craves. It also helps prevent the buildup of harmful compounds, like oxalic acid, in your body over time. Turmeric is an important spice to include, whether cooked or raw. Its active ingredient is curcumin. It has potent antiinflammatory and anti‐carcinogenic properties. It’s prominently featured in Indian curry dishes. Gerson Therapy strengthens the immune system with whole foods with an emphasis on organic fruits and vegetables. One major component of the regimen involves juicing raw fruits and vegetables. It calls for one glass every hour for 13 hours. This stimulates oxygenation of the blood and metabolism. The goal is to “flood” the body with nutrients. But the patient doesn’t live on juice alone. You also eat three freshly‐made vegetarian meals a day. They typically include a salad, cooked vegetables, baked potatoes, a vegetable soup, and juice. For snacking, the therapy calls for fresh fruit anytime during the day. Excess protein, sodium, and animal fats are avoided. Max Gerson believed that degenerative diseases, like cancer, have their basis in toxic foods and water. This interferes with oxygenation in the blood. A lack of oxygen also contributes to degenerative diseases. Raw foods and juices retain their enzymes, which promotes oxygenation. Two‐step juicers preserve the highest level of nutrient content. They have both a grinder and hydraulic press. Gerson Therapy is one of multiple diet‐based therapies that patients have used with success. Another is a macrobiotic plan. It’s plant‐based and toxin‐avoidant. The basic plan is generally comprised of: Organic fruits and vegetables, locally grown Soups, created with vegetables, seaweed, and miso This diet also includes a moderate intake of nuts, seeds, and fresh fish. It should include purified water. Avoid dairy, coffee, and sugars. One compound specifically kills cancer cells. It’s called laetrile. You can find it in raw nuts like bitter almonds. It’s also in fruit pits like apricot kernels. Studies show that laetrile can: Reduce tumor‐related pain in 65 percent of cancer patients More than double survival time in patients with inoperable lung cancer Team up with vitamin A to destroy 89 percent of cancer tumors 14 It also shows promise in animal trials. In one study, laetrile produced a 60 percent reduction in lung metastases in mice. Laetrile has a history that dates back to use in China. It’s now used extensively in Mexico. And like most alternative cancer treatments that can save your life, it hasn’t received approval by the FDA for cancer treatment use in the U.S. Another name for it is B17. x It’s available as an injection or in pill form.
