In response to an article on ways to prevent cancer that I wrote a few weeks ago, several subscribers sent in letters asking for a specific anti-cancer diet, one that can be followed after receiving chemotherapy.
I recommend the following guidelines to people who visit our clinic looking to get stronger and healthier after a bout with chemotherapy:
Set up a support system among family and friends that ensures that you have access to freshly pressed vegetable juices every day
All juices should contain at least 50 percent green vegetables by volume, the best choices being dark green, leafy vegetables like romaine lettuce, kale, Swiss chard, and collard greens
If your life circumstances are such that you cannot arrange to have daily access to fresh vegetable juices, take 3 heaping tablespoons of a high quality green food product every day, mixed with water
Until you crave animal products, stick to eating fresh vegetables, their juices, and fruits only
Eat fruits and vegetables that are naturally rich in antioxidants
Take 1 teaspoon of a high quality cod liver oil per 40-50 pounds of body weight on a daily basis
Eat only when you are hungry and chew well when you do.
typical day would look something like the following:
Breakfast
Blueberries, mango, apple, avocado, celery sticks, and romaine lettuce
Mid-morning snack
Glass of freshly pressed vegetable juice - 8 leaves of romaine lettuce, handful of parsley, 2 ribs of celery, 2 carrots
Lunch
Large vegetable salad made with romaine lettuce, tomatoes, celery, bell peppers, carrots, avocado, and raw walnuts
Dressing, if desired: freshly pressed juice of 1/2 an orange
Mid-afternoon snack
Glass of freshly pressed vegetable juice - 4 large leaves of Swiss chard, 4 leaves of romaine lettuce, small piece of raw red beet, 3 ribs of celery.
Dinner
Large plate of steamed vegetables - Chinese cabbage, broccoli, green beans, sweet potatoes1 whole avocado on the side
Evening snack
Any ripe fruit in season or a handful of raw walnuts and organic raisins
