2. Baking Soda: I get "Bob's Red Mill" brand also at Whole Foods in the baking supply section. I get this brand because I know, for sure, that it does not contain aluminum as other brands do. You can mix a teaspoon of this with water to gargle with. This will sterilize your mouth and throat. It will raise the Ph level in your mouth/throat, sterilize any soars in the mouth or prevent them altogether. Also, when you gargle keep it in your mouth for a while to get the full benefit.
3. Vitamin C: I don't think I need to say much about this. This helps your immune system fight off infections, detoxify cells. I get esther-C from Costco. It fights cancer as well. If you have trouble swallowing pills, you can get it in powdered form as well. I take between 10,000 to 15,000 mg's a day, spread out.
4. Turmeric: This is an aryuvedic herb, spice that is good for general detoxification especially of the liver. You can take a LOT of this, even to the point of turning yellow. You CAN NOT overdose on this. It helps against metastasis. Good brands are New Chapter, Organic India.
5. Proteolytic enzymes: These include pancreatic enzymes. These help digest not only food in order to get vital nutrients (because ALL cancer patients have a problem with digestion/absorption), but also to detoxify debris from tumors.
6.
essiac tea: This is a highly regarded tea for fighting cancer. You can get this at a health food store, but I don't recommend it because it's too expensive to be worth it. I get it from this website:
www.discount-essiac-tea.com . You have to prepare it yourself, but it is well worth it. I highly recommend this throughout treatment and after indefinitely. Follow directions carefully!
7. Vitamin D-3: More and more research is coming out all the time about the very powerful preventative and treatment of cancer with Vitamin D-3. The catch with this is that you can not supplement with vitamin A at the same time as it blocks the effects of vitamin D. It is better to get vitamin A from colorful fruits and vegetables.
8. Water: Stay hydrated! This seems obvious, but I find most people don't like to drink plain water. Make sure that it is filtered from chlorine etc. It's much better than buying water in plastic bottles. It is crucial to increase water intake in order to help with all bodily processes and to detoxify cells, tumor debris etc. Absolutely no soft drinks, especially diet soft drinks (nutrisweet is a cancer fertilizer). Although you might love coffee (I do!), it's highly discouraged because it dehydrates you and also drains minerals from your body which you need so much especially at this time. Green tea is great, any herbal tea that is good for the throat like red clover. No black tea because it dehydrates.
9. Soup: Soups are obviously easier for you to eat and digest. You can find no end to healthy recipes available on the internet.
10. Smoothies: If you find yourself discouraged from eating from pain of soars in the mouth/throat, smoothies are highly recommended. Whey protein is very beneficial for fighting cancer. It has been found, besides giving all essential amino acids, that it raises glutathione levels in healthy cells (protecting them from radiation) and depletes it in cancerous cells (making them more susceptible to radiation/hyperthermia treatment). You can add nut butters, blueberries, bananas, raw plain cocoa powder (no sugar), flax seed oil or hemp seed oil. This will give you energy and prevent weakness which not only affect you physiologically but emotionally. Even if you are eating relatively ok, I still suggest taking the whey protein to protect your body generally from the treatment.
11. Juicing: This is an excellent way to get nutrients your body is lacking and much easier than eating the same amount through chewing. Carrots, spinach, beets are at the top of the list for me. Greens are important too. You can get a decent juicer at costco. Like a Jack Lalain juicer.
12. Exercise: Walking is excellent. Especially out in nature or just a nice day. I walk in the evening for about an hour or hour and a half. Or it can be something you enjoy like tennis. This obviously helps to detoxify the body, but increases your sense of well-being. I would make this mandatory for the rest of your life! Side note: you may like swimming, but it is better to stay away from the chlorine in swimming pools. The ocean is much better relatively speaking.
13. Organic whole foods: Not the store, necessarily. I mean eat foods that are not processed. It means, to the best of your ability, get organically grown foods because non-organic foods more likely contain pesticides and/or are genetically modified. There is what is called a body burden or how much chemicals are accumulated in the body that do not come out. You can think of the body as a barrel that is being filled with these chemicals. When the barrel overflows the organs of detoxification (liver, kidneys) can not process efficiently and thus you are susceptible to disease. You are trying to help your body by eating things that are easily digestible which are whole organic foods that contain the nutrients and enzymes you need. They also help take out these chemicals that have been accumulated.
