Testicular Cancer

Cancer weakens the body’s immune system by affecting the blood cells that protect against disease. As a result, your body cannot fight infection as well as a healthy person’s body can.

It is important to take care when handling and preparing food to prevent infections that may come from food.

Tips:

• Wash your hands thoroughly before you prepare food and eat.
• Keep all food preparation areas clean by wiping them hot soapy water.
• Wash fruit and vegetables as thoroughly as possible.
• Eat or throw out packaged food by the use-by date.
• When eating takeaway and restaurant food, avoid food that has been left standing for long periods and food that may have been contaminated with bacteria, e.g. salad bars, sushi, raw or uncooked meat, fish, shellfish, poultry and eggs.
• When shopping, take an insulated container for cold and frozen food.
• Don’t re-freeze food.
• Keep raw meat separate from ready-to-eat food.
• Use separate utensils and chopping boards for raw meat and vegetables.
• Ensure raw meat is not able to drip onto other foods in the fridge.
• Keep hot food hot, and make sure meat, chicken and seafood are cooked and heated right through.
• Refrigerate leftover food immediately – don’t let it cool on benchtops.
• Thaw frozen food in the refrigerator.
• Avoid eating raw egg (for example, in milk drinks).

It is important to not add further toxicity to your system so try to adhere to the following:

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

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

• Do not drink any carbonated beverages.

• Avoid all fast food restaurants.

• Avoid all canned food.

• Eliminate conventional dairy products.  The best dairy products are raw, unpasteurised and homogenised dairy from grass fed cows.  If this is unavailable, then buy organic dairy.

• Avoid conventional beef.  The best beef is organic grass fed beef.

Supplements:

Certain supplements may be able to help fight the side effects patients experience from testicular cancer:

Magnesium – The fourth most abundant mineral in the body, magnesium is important for bone formation and protecting the kidneys against disease. However, it’s also used in testicular cancer patients

Quercetin – A study in the April 2005 issue of ‘British Journal of Cancer’ stated a link between high cholesterol and an increases risk of testicular cancer. Found in foods like apples and berries, quercetin improves cholesterol levels in several vitro and animal studies, although human trials were lacking. Quercetin has also exhibited an ability to affect sperm quality and viability, as noted in a study published in the “Asian Journal of Andrology” in May 2008, which could help testicular cancer patients on chemotherapy prevent infertility.

• Take Vitamin D3 50,000-100,000 International Units a day for periods of 4 weeks at a time.
• Wholefood supplements are the best way of ensuring your nutritional needs are met.  The best we know on the market is Kevin Trudeau’s “KT Daily” product.  You can find more details here.
