Lifestyle Suggestions

This page is for the dieticians and fitness educators on teaching people how to cure diagnosed cancer with meals that can heal and fitness routines that can help invigorate people who are undergoing traditional and alternative therapy or who have been told 'they are incurable'.

Anyone who tells you that you are 'incurable' is a Quack or at best, a Physician who is out of touch with what works best in fighting cancer. They defend their opinion with 'medical agency advice' and data describing the dismally poor record of traditional therapy on terminal cases.

Base your opinion on scientific fact: if you quickly and drastically change your lifestyle habits and diet and do so with care, knowledge and persistence, you will very likely cure yourself.

This page is dedicated to the foods and tools used to do exactly that:

  • If you have a great recipe that has helped (i.e. helped you lose weight, was easy to prepare and consume after chemotherapy, helped 'shrink' a tumor etc.), post it here.

  • If you have vitamin supplements or herbs your firm offers for consumption by cancer patients, tell us about it and post a link to your website. Remember commercial posts are once a month only or you will be banned.

  • As for Pot Club posts, we are based in California and you are welcome to post here. Someday the Feds will realize marijuana does increase appetite, something most folks have known for decades and is a valuable tool for folks undergoing chemo. We suggest you cook it, rather than smoke it, since smoke is a carcinogen. Note: due to it's 'relaxation' properties, using marijuana or any drug with similar effects, usally interferes with attempts to begin a new exercise program; so if you use pot you will have to work twice as hard if you want to get fit.

  • If you have a story about a specific food or vitamin that helped you, please tell us about it.

"A 42 year old male with malignant cancer of the testicle also showed lung metastases and a large, fleshy metastasis growing from the upper gum. He began 8 grams daily of intravenous ascorbate (Vitamin C) and within 36 hours the metastasis in his mouth disintegrated, with hemorrhage (severe bleeding) that could barely be controlled. He became extremely confused, with high fever and soon lapsed into unconsciousness and died 15 days later. The autopsy confirmed innumerable metastases throughout the brain, lungs and abdomen with the striking feature that all of the metastases were dead and easily scooped out."

"Cancer and Vitamin C", Ewan Cameron and Linus Pauling

The case above clearly illustrates a few significant points about Vitamin C treatments and changes in dietary habits:

  1. Vitamin C, even in relatively small doses, such as 8 grams a day (about (8) 1000 mg tablets or 2 teaspoons of the powdered form), can, in some circumstances, depending on the type of cancer, have a dramatic and immediate effect on all of the tumors in the body. The more aggressive and rapidly growing the tumor, generally the more dramatic the effect of Vitamin C, even radiation, chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Read that again:

    The more aggressive the cancer, the
    easier it is to stop dead in it's tracks
    when done quickly and methodically.

  2. Any change in diet or vitamin intake should be performed gradually, giving your body time to adjust to the 'new chemistry' you have introduced. If your body is loaded with toxins, they will be purged and you will be putting a huge load on your body to eliminate them. If you have cancer and take a regular and sufficient dose of Vitamin C, they very likely will die. Since tumors often have connections to large blood vessels this can lead to serious bleeding and your own death.

    In this case, very likely there were infections in the gum line, akin to severe gingivitis (see my personal story), and fevers are a common thread with 'bad teeth'; ask any oral surgeon about how severe infections (absys) in the upper jaw can affect the brain. Exposing these puss filled pockets to a direct blood supply as in this case, can send them straight to the brain with "disasterous results."

  3. The way to increase your vitamin C intake is to start with 2 grams a day (two 1000mg tablets, although I find the powder form is far more effective), and work up to the dosage you feel is appropriate; from 10g to 50g daily, depending on your condition and level of fitness and ability to deal with the 'flush' process. See my personal story for my own methods. Then expect that symptoms such as diarrhea, running nose, fever, night sweats etc. will, not maybe, they WILL appear.

    This is a good thing! If you are having fevers and a runny nose, then your body is kicking butt on the disease within. Treat it like a flu, with plenty of rest and plenty of fluids and to strengthen your own constitution, make sure you have started an exercise routine (ramp up slowly), which will dramatically improve your ability to cope with this rapid purge of toxins and the death of the cancer within. Don't kill yourself in the process; nobody wins.

In conclusion: if your immune system is depressed and you kick it in high gear and it responds appropriately, you will experience severe symptoms of disease and that process can kill you; the cure is worse than the disease. Go slowly, eat a diet high in green, red and orange (carrots) vegetables, employ a little hot tea to help move things along and you should be fine. See my personal story for how I got through this phase.
