CANCER-FIGHTING FOODS
Ketogenic diet for cancer patients must be followed to weaken cancer cells. When evaluating any cancer, regardless of the stage or faction, it is vital to pinpoint the cause. Although there are varying ideas afloat, you’ll be hard-pressed to find those who do not agree that the immune system is the catalyst between cancer development and its reversal. In the words of Dr. Ben Johnson, “With every cancer patient, their immune system has missed cancer.” We can see the way in which the general public and Orthodox Medicine alike, are unknowingly depleting the supply of immune cells and creating a chronic state of susceptibility. Aside from chemotherapy and radiation being strong-armed into the American Public, we are personally killing our natural defences while fueling cancer cells every day. There are other alternative cancer treatments other than the obvious ones stated above.
COMPROMISING IMMUNITY – SUGAR
As individuals in general, we never hesitate to gorge on pounds of sugar with, before, and after every meal. Sugars and carbohydrates should rarely be included in our diets. One century ago, the average US citizen consumed 5 pounds of sugar per year; today, we consume an inconceivable average of 150 pounds per year. This becomes even more horrifying when we realize it only takes 100 grams of sugar to restrain our white blood cell’s ability to kill the bad cells in our body by 90% for several hours; this happens within 15 minutes of digestion. Founder of the American Anti-Cancer Institute (AACI), Bob Wright, adds, “One can of [soda] has enough sugar to shut down 50% of our immune system for a minimum of 4 hours.” When we consume sugar, we are simultaneously shutting off our defences while pouring gasoline on the fire that is cancer. When we take into account that “50 to 70% of our total immune system cells cannot see cancer … even on our best day,” the notion of adding it to our diet seems even more blasphemous.
A strict Ketogenic Diet for cancer patients, which calls for minimizing carbohydrates and replacing them with healthy fats and moderate amounts of high-quality protein, can offer hope against cancer — both for prevention and treatment.
Your normal cells have the metabolic flexibility to adapt to using ketone bodies from using glucose. Cancer cells lack this ability so when you reduce carbs to only non-starchy vegetables, you effectively starve the cancer. You can also read about foods that prevent cancer cells from growing.
Cancer can be more accurately classified as a mitochondrial metabolic disease. Few people inherit genes that predispose them to cancer (most inherit genes that prevent cancer), and inherited mutations typically disrupt the function of the mitochondria.
Mitochondria is the main power generator in your cells and is believed to be the central point in the origins of many cancers. Your mitochondria can be damaged not only by inherited mutations but also by a wide variety of environmental factors and toxins.
Following a strict ketogenic diet for cancer patients combined with fasting has remarkable health benefits and strengthens your mitochondria network systems throughout your body. As long as your mitochondria remains healthy and functional, it’s very unlikely that cancer will develop.
