Hi,

New to the board. I am seeking a sample of a two-week anti-cancer diet. Anyone know where I can get this info from a site?

Regards,

Han

There is no such thing. Eating sensibly and moderately, avoiding overmuch red meat, dairy products and alcohol, and taking regular exercise is as good a way as any of keeping yourself healthy

Anything that claims to prevent cancer in a two-week period has got to be regarded with considerable cynicism. Cancer is not something that develops like a cold, but may take years.

I am on such a diet and it is the Alkaline/Acid one that someone else mentioned. I am working with a Naturopathic doctor who has many 'walking miracles' around her clinic. Using blood tests results and other indicators she designed my diet around starving the cancer of the nutrients that enable it to survive, while adding supplements that keep my immune system strong and maintain my energy level and appetitie. So far the benefits just seem to increase.

I choose to believe that coupled with positive thinking etc. combined with the medical treatments this improves my quality of life and gives me an opportunity to 'live with cancer' as opposed to 'die with cancer'. It is a hard diet to adjust to but I am at the point where I have worked out a number of menus that are yummy. As a former 'gourmet cook', it took me awhile to adapt some of my favorites. Can't say I don't miss some of the things I used to eat, and when I travel now I need to pack a cooler, but in the long run I see only benefits.

The irony is when I am sitting in the waiting area of the treatment clinic I watch staff pass out treats that are not helpful for people who are as challenged healthwise as those of us with cancer. Perhaps one day we will look back on this time in medical history and be awe-struck by our lack of understanding of the role nutrition plays in this disease. Feel free to privately email me for any tips or help I can offer if you decide to follow this kind of diet program.

Hello

There is no such thing as an anti cancer diet.

If you think eating certain foods will "cure" cancer you are sadly mistaken. The best you can hope for is a reduced chance of getting cancer or perhaps a greater chance you will recover. No food can "cure " cancer and anyone who says so is either a quack making a buck out of us, or someone who doesn't really understand the true nature of cancer. Do not use the term anti cancer diet it is just ridiculous.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion as we navigate our survival through cancer Chemoman...including you. I respect that and wish you well. I am also embracing traditional treatments, and was in no way trying to influence anyone.

there are certainly conflicting opinions about the efficiacy of anti cancer diets, but to say than none works seems a bit harsh to me Confused

anyway there seems to be a quite good anti cancer fast out there, try and google for: sagada hospital

budwig diet is also very respected, but its not a 2 weeks thing, its more of a livestyle choice...

all the blessings; Beatrice & Alexander

I agree with ChemoMan that there is not a "anti cancer diets" as such. Obviously, there are diets that can be of greater help to a person with cancer and undergoing treatments.

Boracay4u, you are also right is that for any type of diet to work, it has to be one that changes a person's lifestyle.
