Diet from Peruvian doctors

vegetables  both cooked and raw

beetroots

brussel sprouts

broccolli

cabbage cauliflower

corn carrots

peppers

parsley

leek

turnip

celery

legumes:  broadbeans, redbeans, blackbeans

seasonal: sweetpeas, spinach, asparagus, cooked soybeans

and fruits  

both fresh and dried:  apples, appricot and plums, dates and figs

citrus, grapefruit, pineapple, bananas, mangos, kiwi, papaya

Dairy products are advisable in virtually any form, however, I personally believe that milk shouldn’t be overused. Of meat only lean veal, poultry and fish are allowed. Sugar must be completely eliminated and replaced with bee honey, honeydew preferably. Moreover, fruit juice and still water should be drunk in large amounts.

see page 42 of Vilcacora report

After talking to Constance at IPIFA Peruvian Institute of Andean Phytotherapeutic Reasearch; she adds that red meat should be eliminated, juices should be encouraged, especially fresh and;

We also recommend a non-toxic diet (as natural as possible), ACCORDING TO TOLERANCE: well-balanced meals with fiber-rich foods, such as fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, seeds, wheat, oat, almonds; also broiled fish as health condition improves, but WITHOUT red meat (including hot dogs, smoked or cured meats), nor processed refined foods, fried food, canned food, milk, chocolate, and sugar (only some honey), refined salt (better sea salt) and carbonated drinks. As you know, daily increase of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) protects against oxidative spoilage and boosts immune functions, as supplements or preferably as FRESH JUICE. Teflon and aluminum pots and pans, as well as microwave oven, are not advisable.

Why Cancer blog

After having a few family members diagnosed with cancer, I have been looking at cancer treatments and items. Looking for alternative and additional treatment modalities is time consuming and really a challenge at trying to weed out the moneymaking schemes and snake oils people have put up for sale. Here are some things worth considering for both prevention and as additional alternative strategies to augment regular treatments. I though about making this publicly available because of the time consuming nature of this research and hope it may prove useful to someone.

My own background; I am a medical doctor trained in the field of psychiatry. I worked in bigger facilities and later in a private office for some years, Currently I am working with transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of depression in a private office in New Hamshire.

If you have questions I will gladly try to answer them or direct you to answers. This information is provided for educational purposes and does not constitute treatment of any kind, and further I recommend you work with an appropriate professional treating your illness.

Some things I plan to discuss here include:

• diets
• looking for a doctor
• alternative therapies
• general guidlines about healthcare

Vitamin C Treatment

Not in itself a treatment, but high doses of vitamin C have some interestingly positive benefits to cancer patients both used alone and together with some chemotherapies.


Things to think about include 75% patients studied showed improved quality of life, Vit C shows cytotoxic effect on some cancer cells in animal studies and IV versus oral administration. Not a cure, but maybe a coexisting treatment?



Contraindications:  history of Kidney stones related to oxaloacetate,  G-6-PD deficiency or use of the chemotharapy agent bortezomib.
