Getting your immune system up to a maximum point will be the best you can do to help your body heal.
But this might not always be easy.
A good way to do this though is to switch to a diet consisting of mostly uncooked fruits and vegetables - as well as some nuts and seeds.
To explain beating cancer with nutrition further, let's take a look at the
reasons for getting cancer in the first place:
-30% is if you smoke
-30% is your way of eating
-the rest is genetics, lifestyle and exposure to toxins and radiation.
Sometimes, like for example when young children get cancer, it is not explainable how or why they got it. In a case like that there is nothing the child or the adult could have done better to prevent the disease.
As an adult, when you have cancer, it is normal to wonder about what caused it. And that's OK. But do not think about it TOO much. And never blame yourself. What you need to focus on now is getting better and beating this disease.
Why do we get cancer?
There are millions of cell divisions in our body every day. Genes tell cells when to start dividing. And because of so many cell divisions, every day there is always a chance of one cell becoming cancerous.
Example 1:
Sometimes a defect gene tells a cell to start dividing endlessly = cancer.
A gene or a cell can become defect or damaged from cigarette exposure, toxic in the food or other reasons such as prolonged sun or UV exposure.
Example 2:
The immune system can normally detect a damaged cell and destroy it.
But when the immune system is not as high as it should be, it might not notice the damaged cell.
The cell then starts damaging other cells as well, spreading the damage = cancer.
So with a good immune system, along with all the good antioxidants and phytonutrients you will eat (from fruits and vegetables), you will be on a very good path to beating cancer with nutrition. You will help your body fight off damaged cells and stop endless cell divisions.
The best you can do when trying to beat cancer with nutrition, is to get your immune system up - by changing your diet completely. And I don’t mean just some few changes, make them radical for optimal results.
Many people have done it already! For example Rich below...
So.. don’t wait!
As soon as possible...
Stop the following:
-eating meat
-eating junk food
-eating sugar (and I mean all sugar, also any foods with added sugar)
-drinking milk
And start the following:
-eat only uncooked vegetables and fruits
Reason: The antioxidants and phytonutrients in fruits and vegetables gets your immune system up and help fight the cancer off.
Nuts and seeds are also a valuable daily contribution to your fruit and veggie diet, but nothing else. Eat as much vegetables and fruit as you like... even more than you would think is "normal"!
Eat salads, drink fresh homemade juice, smoothies and whole fruits and vegetables.
Another good thing you can do when beating cancer with nutrition is to take a daily vitamin supplement of vitamin D3, vitamin C, vitamin E and selenium.
The Raw Food Diet is not a "diet" in the sense of losing weight (even though many people use it that way too). But actually it is a lifestyle where you don’t necessarily need to lose weight if you don’t want to (love those avocados!). It is a very healthy long term lifestyle.
When switching to a diet like this, it will quickly get your body to start detoxing and slowly but surely you will get your immune system up.
The first few weeks on a new diet like this, will not be easy. After all you are switching to a new way of eating which will change your lifestyle. You might feel weak and you might even not feel too well in the beginning. This is because of the cleansing process that is taking place in your body. But this process is necessary when beating cancer with nutrition.
Hang in there.. you will be fine!
Some people become raw because they want to overcome a health problem, such as cancer or diabetes. But it can also be depression or arthritis. And other people become raw simply because they have a love of staying healthy and an interest in nutrition.
If you found this page when searching for the book "Beating Cancer With Nutrition" by Dr Quillin, you were probably looking for a place to buy his book "Beating cancer with nutrition". You can do so below:
It is possible to beat cancer with nutrition. But most of us know someone who got the cancer results one day, and just a short while after they were gone. Could a raw diet have helped there..? Nobody will know. But if you have cancer and are reading this, remember one thing: It is never too late to try.
Are you right now undergoing treatment?
The Regional Cancer Center gives this advice though: Those of you who are undergoing radiation or chemotherapy should wait with supplementing your diet with large amounts of vitamins until the treatment is over. Because some vitamins (especially the antioxidant ones like C and E) may hinder the cancer fighting effects of the medications you take under radiation or chemotherapy treatment. This is the current recommendation, and should be followed until more answers are available.
By learning more about the nutrition facts in fruits and vegetables, you will begin to understand the importance of them in your diet.
I hope the information I gave you was of use for you!
