Cancer Wellness Guide

If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with cancer, don’t despair. There are many alternative options available for healing the body naturally and effectively.

At Food Matters, we believe in effective, safe, natural and easily-available methods that deal with underlying causes instead of treating just the symptoms.

Healing cancer depends upon rebuilding the immune system. Low immunity arises from inflammation, toxicity, acidity, poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, poor digestion, heavy metals, stress, past trauma, dehydration, chronic infections (root canal), overgrowth of the bad bacteria and parasites. A healthy immune system is able to identify and destroy cells before they grow out of control.

We start by addressing all of the above causes, and by doing so we will get into the true cause of cancer.

It is also of prime importance to alkalize the system, making sure that there is enough oxygen supply to the cells. An acidic environment promotes disease. Cancer cells cannot survive in a well-oxygenated environment, so we need to make sure that we supply plenty of living, oxygen-promoting foods and therapies.

Nourish the body with fresh, organic, living foods.

Choose a plant-based diet: organic fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, superfoods and vegan protein (hemp seeds, fermented/sprouted pea or brown rice protein powder).

Fruits and vegetables can be juiced (minimum 4 juices per day) or you can blend them with the protein powders.

It is preferable to use more green, leafy vegetables rather than fruits; for example 20% fruit to 80% vegetables. Small amounts of fruit is ok (3 pieces of fruit a day). Green apples, carrots, pineapple, beetroot, lemon, ginger, spinach, silver beet, cucumber, celery, kale, coriander and parsley are best choices.

Smoothies are an excellent way to get the essential nutrients daily.

Eliminate all processed foods.

Avoid sugar, (cancer thrives on sugar), artificial sweeteners, additives, preservatives, colors, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and GMO foods. A small amount of fruit is ok.

Avoid meat and dairy products.

They contain harmful chemicals, hormones and antibiotics which promote cancer growth. Get your protein from raw, vegan protein powders. They are much easier to digest and contain no chemicals. If you absolutely must have meat, choose grass fed, organic meat or wild-caught fish, and have no more than 100g per day. Avoid farmed fish.

Eliminate hydrogenated fats and processed oils.

Instead, have healthy, good fats such as flaxseed oil, chia seeds, avocado, olive oil, hemp oil, and plenty of coconut oil.

Improve gut function.

Eliminate foods irritating the gut (grains, sugar, dairy, processed foods, meat, alcohol), and replace them with fresh, unprocessed foods full of fiber, nutrients and enzymes. Eat clean. Include probiotics and fermented foods daily.

Drink only filtered, alkaline, preferably ionized water – minimum 2 litres daily.

It is absolutely crucial to eliminate fluoride, chlorine, plus all the other chemicals and toxins from the water. Filtering is essential. Drink from glass instead of plastic bottles.

Use cancer-healing spices.

Turmeric, ginger, garlic, coriander, chili, and clove.

Essential oils for cancer treatment are:

Frankincense and myrrh, thyme and clove (anti-fungal, anti-parasitic activity).

Include a detox regime.

For this, it’s best to work with an experienced practitioner.

Examples of detoxes you can do safely at home are:

coffee enemas (to detox the liver)
jumping a minimum of 15 minutes daily on the mini trampoline to boost the activity of the lymphatic system
infrared sauna daily to sweat the toxins out
oil pulling (use coconut or sesame oil and swish it around in your mouth for 10-15 min daily. It pulls toxins out)
hot baths using Epsom salt and essential oils
dry skin brushing before shower to stimulate skin and eliminate toxins
brisk walking, swimming in the ocean, outdoor physical activity
deep breathing to get more oxygen into your lungs
grounding: walking without shoes on grass or sand. Limiting time in front of the computer. Switch off wi-fi at night or when not using the internet.
spending time in the sun and nature
drinking a minimum of 2L of filtered, alkaline water, fresh juices, herbal teas daily
quality supplements and herbs (discussed below)
daily meditation, quiet time

Manage your stress.

Stress is depressing the immune system and destroying our overall health. When we are stressed we are producing lots of cortisol, causing acidity and hormonal imbalance. Cortisol robs us of the happy hormones serotonin and dopamine, and also shrinks our brain.

In cancer treatment, it is especially important to manage stress, as it leads to oxygen deprivation.

The best ways to reduce stress are to:

get out into nature and simply slow down
practice yoga or tai chi, deep breathing and listening to calm music
practice meditation. Calming the mind is very beneficial.
Resolve old emotions, resentment, and grief. Practice forgiveness.

(The Tapping Solution, E-Motion)
avoid high-intensity exercises, watching the news, and interacting with people who make you stressed and upset
get a relaxation massage
engage in an activity you love to do
avoid stimulants: coffee, alcohol, sugar, commercial chocolate (raw cacao is ok)

Natural supplements and herbs for calming the nervous system are:

Magnesium, B complex, (esp B6 and B12), good fats such as flaxseed, chia, and hemp oils.
Herbs: sithania, rhodiola, Californian poppy, chamomile, skullcap, hops, passion flower, kava, stralagus, panax ginseng, St John’s wort (depression), licorice

Treat fungus infections and parasites.

It is essential to remove the overgrowth of fungus and parasites using the following herbs: black walnut, wormwood, garlic, Pau d’ Arco, clove, plus thyme and oregano essential oils.

Diatomaceous Earth – effective in parasite treatment. It’s a phytoplankton with a strong negative charge. It absorbs and eliminates harmful, positively-charged organisms.

Check your fillings.

Contact a holistic dentist to remove amalgam fillings as they are very toxic to the whole system causing muscle and joint pain, depressing the immune system, causing memory loss and overall causing lots of inflammation. Also root canals can be a cause of chronic infection.

Get adequate sleep.

A minimum of 8 hours of peaceful, deep sleep is crucial for the body to repair itself. If you have difficulties falling asleep or waking up, use: passion flower, skullcap, chamomile, valerian, and magnesium. You can also have a relaxing bath with Epsom salt and 5-HTP.

Make sure your room is well ventilated and completely dark. All electrical appliances, especially your mobile phone, must be switched off. Relaxing music, inspirational books, and writing in a diary are great ways to calm down.

Correct nutritional deficiencies.

Nutritional deficiencies are very common due to consuming foods lacking basic nutrients. Processed foods not only contribute to overall toxicity but also make the body highly acidic.

It’s essential to switch to a plant-based diet and take supplements to alkalize and to correct nutritional deficiencies.

Recommended supplements:

Nervous system: magnesium powder, B complex. Herbs: withania, astragalus, panax ginseng, rhodiola, chamomile, Californian poppy.
Immune system: Vit C, A, E, D3, Zinc, Selenium, Astra8 Immune Tonic. Mushrooms: Reishi, Maitaki, Cordyceps, Echinacea, Cellgevity.
Thyroid function: nascent iodine, kelp, Fucus Vesiculous, selenium, B12, Vit D3, L-tyrosine, zinc, magnesium, withania.
Digestive system: for clearing pathogens – black walnut, clove, wormwood, thyme, garlic.
Pancreatic enzymes.
Plenty of fiber, and filtered water with apple cider vinegar daily.
Probiotics daily.
Liver support: milk thistle, dandelion root, schisandra, B complex.
Overall detox: Removal of toxins & heavy metals, very beneficial for the fatty, toxic liver – Glutathione booster (Cellgevity)

Switch to natural cosmetics and cleaning products.

Vinegar and bi-carb of soda are very safe, cheap and effective cleaning products.

Incorporate Superfoods in your diet.

Raw cacao, goji berries, bee pollen, green powders, chia seeds, chlorella, wheat grass, barley grass, acai berries, maca powder, coconut oil, flaxseed, all organic berries.

Consider using specific anticancer natural remedies and treatments.
