I hear of people dying of cancer who are doing chemotherapy and have a short time to live and I want to scream at them that maybe they can csave themselves if they go a compleely dirrect direction. Remember I said MAYBE, because I can't promise anything but I've been reading Christ Wark for some time off and on and I'm convinced that he kept his cancer from recurring by sticking to a raw plant foods diet. On his website, CHiris Bwea Cancer.com I think, which is also the title of his book, Chris Beat Cancer, I can't type it straugight , sorry, anyway he has interviewed many cancer survivors who discovered their own plant based route to ridding themselves of the disease.
Many diferent cancers have been successfully treated by some version or other of this diet, but that doesn'tmena there aren't some it wouldn't work for, or in some cases be too late for it to work, or that all versions of the diet will work either. But the anecdotal evidence is very strong, and his book backs up wihis website with lots of statistics about the effects on cancer cells of different kinds of foods.
The mainstay of this diet is carrot juice, a half gallon a day taken in eight ounce doses througouthgt thte day, though I read one case of a woman who did it on forty oucnces a day and skilpped most of the rest of the diet Wark recommends which is a lot of raw rebevgetables.
He does , or did, the half gallon of carrot juice every day, plus two huge salads of raw vegetables and greens, and a smoothie of mostly berries which are also highly evffective against cancers. Carrot juice, cruciferous vegetables like vroccoli, cauliflower and red cabbage, plus raw spinach and other greens and kale, plus blueberies and strawberries, are the big ones, but lemons an crambnberries are also big, in fact cranberry shoujld be put above the others. All this is in his book, from about chapter eight through ten.
I've never done tthis so it's pretty cheeky of me to be making such a big deal out of it. All I can say is it I had a way to do it this is what I woulds do if I found I had cancer, and when I say if I had a waY, IT'S very labor intensive. Cleaning and trimming in juicing carrots is a LOT of wqork, and just washing and chopping vegetables takes time too. I've done both for periods of time even without cancer as a reason for it and it just wears me out.
Chris Qark was inspired by books and testimonies of other cancer survivors and fitness teachers and health clinics. Carrot juice is big with all of them by the way.
It does need research if you want to convince yourselvf,, it's not something to takeanybody's word for, and that takes time unfortunately, which you don't have if you've only been given a short time to live. And I think it's somewhere in Wark's book that eating this way can interfere with chemotherapy so unfortunately it isn't something you can just do together , or at least not without some conflit.
I personally knew a man who kept his prostate cancer at bay for something like twenty years just by drinking carrot juice. I didn't know him all that well but everyone in town knew him, it was a small town and you'd see him frequently at the market with a cart loaded with carrots. I don't know what else he did, if anything, all I know is that he rank a prodigious amount of carrot juice.
Cooking the foods is OK too by the way, although Wark was sold on the raw regime. Just stuff yourselvf with vegetables however you can manage to do it, lots of them cooked or raw, whatever you can tolerate, and although Wark is a purist who wouldn't eat anything else I gather that some people did find on a generatlly healthy diet of meats and carbs along with the vwgetables though the veggies were emphasized.
Wark has one story in his book I particularly enjoyed, in chapter ten I think. A Greek man living in America got diagnosed with terminal lung cancer at the age of sisty six in the seventies and decided to move back to his home on a Greek island to die among family and friends. He'd been given hnine months to live as I recall. They all grow gardens on this island so he sgtarted one too. He spent a lot of time with his friends, eating with them and dancing the Greek dances and all that, and he started going to church again too. Nine months came and went and he was no where near dying but doing just fine and kept on doing what he was deoing indefinitely. In fact he olived another thirty years and ddidn't tie until he was ninety six. Don't you like that story? Oh and although his diet was mostly plant based and came out of gardens of all his friends, they also occasionally had fish and meat, just not very often mostly because it's expensive, and they drank a lot of coffee and wine which Chris Wark thinks is a bad idea for cancer sufferers, which it probably is as a general thing but the point of all this is that there are many different ways to do this diety. Just adding a lot of vegetables seems to be the kley, but surely other factos are important in different cases too.
So when I hear of people dying of cancer and I know they are not going to be told that diet ccould help and that they are going to have to suffer the oisons of the usual cancer treatments which in themselves would kill you if their dosage weren't carefully controlled, I want to scream, no no no, at least TRY this. Shovel it in , shovel in those vegies. Get a juicer and gulp down taht carrot juicew.
