In the 1930’s Dr. Max Gerson developed therapy for cancer. His tradition still continues. For an overview of juicing read this article.
Basic juice therapy for cancer consists of consuming copious amount of juice made from carrot, beetroot, beet tops, cabbage, green asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower and peppers. Turmeric (curcurmin) is also said to have cancer curing properties. Broccoli is said to have the ability to immobilize the cancer stem cells.
You can always substitute raw food in place of juice.
Most of those who are on juice diet for cancer would juice about 3.5 kg of vegetables daily. About one half of this would be carrots. This would be equivalent of approximately 2 kg of juice. Gerson therapy starts off with 13 glasses (8 0unce) of fresh vegetable juice daily. One kilogram of carrot juice will contain about 50 grams of sugar and about 80 grams of carbohydrates.
Many fruits and vegetables have substances that can kill cancer cells and stop the spreading of cancer. Recommended diet for cancer is generally a variation of the raw food diet. Vegetables and fruits that are known to have ability to cancer cells are selected. This diet is also used to provide key nutrients to protect the non-cancerous cells. Furthermore cooking destroys all enzymes in the food. This is the reason for the preference for the raw food.
Cruciferous vegetables belong to cabbage family and they reduce cancer risk.
They reduce oxidative stress - oxygen-free radicals generated by the body. They also make available healthy amount of protein and fats. They can be bad for health if consumed in excess.
Examples of cruciferous vegetables are: broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, cabbage and bok choy.
Dr. Sanjay Gupta's CNN documentary on “weed” caught the attention of the world. I am not writng about it because it is not relevant to my subject of juicing. For more information look up this web page.
Cellect-Budwig protocol is another treatment process with emphasis on juicing.
Beta Carotene is a powerful ingredient that fights cancer and is found in carrots, peppers and leafy greens such as mustard, romaine, collards, kale, turnip greens and spinach. Proanthocyanidins is another cancer fighting agent found in beets (including tops), Blueberry, plums and purple whole grapes.
Detoxification is important in cancer treatment, Gerson therapy recognises this. In particular liver clensing is very important. One of the important function of the liver is to detoxify the blood. If it is not able to function properly, detoxification of the blood will not take place. This will weaken the immune system and it will not be able to fight the build up of cancer cells.
It is necessary to cleanse the colon before detoxifying the liver. This because when the liver eliminates toxins during the detoxification, the toxins will get trapped in the colon and will get recycled back to the liver.
All fruits are good for colon cleansing but apples, berries, and prunes are better than other fruits. Green vegetables are good in cleansing the colon but spinach, broccoli, watercress, kale, chard, and beet greens are better than others. Celery, broccoli, and cucumbers also have good colon cleansing properties.
Flax seed has the reputation as a good colon cleanser. Flax seeds absorb water and expand and thereby assist in the removal of toxins and mucus. Whole flax seeds can be ground and added to your juice. Water soluble and insoluble fibre also plays an important role in colon cleansing but should be avoided during inflamatory bowel conditions.
Fermented foods like yogurt, kefir, and probiotic vegetables such as miso and sauerkraut will increase the friendly bacteria in the body’s intestinal ecosystem.
After colon cleansing, we can now proceed to the liver detoxification. Avocados, garlic, turmeric, lemon and lime have excellent liver cleansing properties. Other colon cleansing foods are cruciferous vegetables, grapefruit, beets, carrots, leafy greens, and apples. Just taking one or two avocados a week for a month can repair a damaged liver. Turmeric is one of the most potent food that can protect the liver from toxic damage and boost the production of bile.
