Cancer is commonly seen as a mystery! And yet it has been established that the root of this dreaded illness is a metabolic malfunction that’s linked directly with the food we eat and the way we live our lives.

It is very important at the first indication of cancer to begin drinking lots of deep green vegetable juice (from collard greens, turnip greens, kale greens, cabbage) and drink it often — 3 or 4 ounces 5 to 6 times a day. One should also stop eating white sugar, honey, white flour, processed foods and other simple carbohydrates because these foods are the fuel that cause malignant tumor growth.

In addition, cancer calls on us to drastically reduce (or better yet, eliminate for a time) the eating of meat and pasteurized dairy. These foods do two things: they make the body chemistry more acidic, and they use up its scarce supply of protein digesting enzymes that are desperately needed for helping destroy cancer cells. On the other hand, it is important to eat a lot more raw fruits and vegetables, and complex carbohydrates (like lima beans, blackeye peas, black beans, squash, avocados, sweet potatoes, yams, lentils). Also highly recommended is regular physical exercise (even if it only involves walking), deep breathing, prayer, meditation, and other stress relieving activities.

Why are these things crucial? It is because with cancer the body chemistry needs to be made less acidic, and more oxygen-rich and enzyme-rich at the earliest possible date. This illness can only thrive where body chemistry is highly acidic, so we need to reverse that condition as soon as we can. And there is no better way to do that than with highly alkaline fresh deep green leafy vegetable juice, and also by consuming lots of raw fruits and vegetables. We must especially deny cancer cells their main source of energy, that is, simple carbohydrates like white sugar, white flour, and other refined grains. In addition, it is vital to get more oxygen circulating at the cellular level, because healthy cells are enhanced by oxygen, and cancer cells are actually suppressed by it. Since green foods contain chlorophyll, they are an excellent way to bolster the circulation of oxygen at the cellular level.

Research proves that cancer can thrive when there is a scarcity of protein digesting enzymes. But we can remedy this because raw fruits and vegetables introduce digestive enzymes into the body while also normalizing the body’s acid/alkaline balance In that respect, fresh papayas and pineapples eaten daily (as well as papaya seeds) are uniquely helpful in introducing important digestive enzymes.

The various things mentioned here can strength the immune system, which is key for preventing and overcoming cancer. Moreover, these things help create a biological terrain that enhances health and suppresses the growth of malignant tumors. The good news is that we can choose to engage in health enhancing practices everyday without experiencing harmful side effects; after all, these practices are normal to our existence as humans.

Finally, let us remember that cancer is a signal that the body’s metabolism (or normal cellular health) is out of whack. And to meet that challenge it is necessary to change what we eat and how we live our lives. It does not depend on the type of cancer, or on the size or location of the tumor. What is far more important is our individual resolve to nourish the body so that it unleashes its own healing power.
