Colon Cancer

Avoid all foods that are high in unhealthy saturated and trans-fats, hydrogenated and partially-hydrogenated fats and oils, margarine, and shortening.

Eliminate refined white flour, which is found in the majority of foods found on a typical grocery store shelf, including bread, bagels, crackers, cakes, cookies, and other baked good, pasta.

Avoid alcohol, caffeine, simple carbohydrates, sugars and sugar products, foods that are overly spicy, and all processed and commercial “junk” food.

Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.

Do not drink any carbonated beverages.

Avoid all canned food.

Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame

Stay clear of all inorganic pasteurized milk and dairy products, including yogurt and cheese; best to eat only raw, organic dairy products.

Empower yourself, and choose a diet emphasizing organic whole foods, including plenty of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, oats, whole grains, such as brown rice, quinoa and buckwheat. Include a variety of preferably soaked, nuts and seeds, especially pumpkin and sunflower seeds.

Minimize your intake of red meat; though be sure to consume adequate amounts of organic, free-range poultry, bison and wild-caught fish.

Eat generous quantities of both raw and lightly steamed organic vegetables and large fresh salads daily.

Preferably, cook with virgin coconut butter/oil and use extra virgin olive oil, high lignin flax seed oil and hemp seed oil as condiments on veggies and as the base for your daily salad dressing.

Throughout the day, drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid drinking—as well as bathing, and showering in—unfiltered tap water, as tap water contains heavy metals and pesticide residues that can settle in high concentrations in the body.

The raw food diet is a food plan that can be of great benefit for colon cancer sufferers. Using the guidelines outlined above as a base camp for a clean and healthy diet, one can then transition into a raw food diet as desired. Raw food generates rapid results because of its ability to thoroughly detoxify and liberate your body’s previously untapped energy.

The diet mainly consists of raw fruits, vegetables, and soaked and sprouted nuts and seeds, supplemented with daily consumption of fresh green juices made from a variety of vegetables such as celery, romaine lettuce, spinach, carrot, kale, parsley, and an ever rotating seasonal selection of other organic veggies. Raw foodists enjoy salads, dehydrated flax crackers, seed and nut pâtés, blended soups, smoothies, and marinated veggies, often mixed with soaked sea vegetables. Since little to no cooked food is consumed, the raw diet has the advantage of instantly eliminating many common allergens. No cooked wheat or wheat by-products are consumed, and generally dairy is omitted, though some might choose to eat moderate quantities of raw goat or sheep milk products, often in the form of a fermented food, such as homemade raw kefir or yogurt.

Dr. Gabriel Cousins, at the Tree of Life Center, endorses the raw food plan as the ultimate healing diet, and offers 100% raw food meals at his healing retreat in Patagonia, Arizona. An important note when choosing a raw food diet: there is an issue of trade-offs. You might miss cooked foods, though you will not miss cancer. More times than not the raw food diet presents itself as an incredible tool that can be used to quickly transition from a serious health challenge into a healing process, ultimately resulting in greater health and well-being.

Supplements:

Try any of the following supplements, as recommended by livestrong.com

Folate or Folic Acid

A study by Shumin M. Zhang and others, and published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, shows that folate may reduce the risk of colon cancer in women. Folate, commonly referred to as folic acid, is also known as vitamin B9. It is found in leafy vegetables, beans and legumes, beer, fortified grain products, nuts, and many fruits and vegetables.

Vitamin B12

The Zhang study also showed that vitamin B12 may reduce colon cancer risk in women. This vitamin is water-soluble and is synthesized by certain bacteria. It is found only in foods that come from animals, such as fish, meat, eggs or milk products.

Dairy Foods and Calcium

A clinical study by Dr. Peter R. Holt, director of the gastroenterology division of St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center, says that consuming calcium and vitamin D may reduce colon cancer cells. Calcium has also been shown to reduce polyps in individuals who would normally have increased risk. Calcium is a metal that is very soft. Nearly all calcium stored in the body is stored in bones and teeth. Dairy products, seaweeds, seeds,and other plants contain calcium, while vitamin D is found in fatty fish, eggs, beef liver and fish liver oils, and mushrooms.

Vitamins A, C and E

A study conducted through the cancer prevention research program of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center draws a correlation between supplementing vitamins A, C and E and reducing colon cancer, though researchers stress that more trials must be completed.
Vitamin A is generally known for its relation to good eyesight and vision. It is found in liver, carrots, peas, apricots and milk. Vitamin A taken in excess may increase the chance of osteoporosis.
Vitamin C occurs in many foods, especially fruits and other plants, as well as the liver of animals and in raw cow’s milk. Supplements come in the form of caplets, tablets, drink mixes and more. Excess vitamin C is excreted through the urine.
In this study vitamin E was shown to have the strongest associations with reducing cancer. It occurs naturally in nuts, seeds and vegetable oils. Green leafy vegetables also contain vitamin E, as do fortified cereals. A vitamin E supplement can be consumed like any other supplement
