There have been so many anecdotal and doctor's reports of curing cancer with diet and nutrition without the use of conventional surgery, radiation and chemotheraphy. The most notable examples are the three pioneers who used diet and nutrition to cure cancer in My Humble Opinion 3, Dr. Max Gerson, Dr. Johanna Budwig, and Dr. Ann Wigmore. Another example from doctor's report is summarized in Dr. Binzel's book "Alive and Well" . A conventional doctor, Dr. Lorraine Day, an orthodox surgeon and professor who cured her own breast cancer with diet and nutrition and is determined to spread the message can be found on her website http://www.drday.com Most of the unconventional doctors today also incorporate diet and nutrition in their treatment protocols.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has definitely been reported to cure cancer in China. However, it seems that the rate of success depends on the experience of the doctors. There are so many TCM practitioners in China but not too many books written by experienced ones who have successful treatment of cancer using purely TCM without the western conventional surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Most of the reports are published in various provincial and local Traditional Chinese Medicine professional journals scattered all over China. Here are some of those books.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, foods and medicinal herbs are considered to come from the same source. It has long been established that diet is important in healing the disease and is considered a part of TCM. The main difference in the use of diet to cure disease between TCM and WHD is the state of "cooked" and "uncooked" of the foods. WHD uses approximately between 80 to 100% raw foods whereas TCM uses negligible raw foods except fruits. I believe ancient China didn't have sanitary and safe drinking and washing water system, the fertilizers were usually the animal and human manure. All foods except fruits had to be cooked to prevent diseases from micro-organisms. Today with the safe water system and the knowledge of enzymes and vitamins the power of uncooked food to heal all kinds of diseases is slowly being discovered. Nevertheless both raw diet and cooked diet, such as macrobiotic diet, have been reported to cure cancer, moreover, some cancer patients can't tolerate purely raw diet it is therefore necessary to include cooked diet in the experiment.

There are so many websites today devoted to the use of raw diet to prevent and cure cancer, I once entered "raw diet for cancer" into Goggle search and came up with 4,250,000 results in 0.35 seconds, and Bing search with 16,200,000 results. You can imagine the volume of work needed to search through internet. To narrow down the search I entered "testimony of raw diet to cure cancer" into Bing seach and came up with 74,500 results. I then entered "testimony of raw diet to cure breast cancer" and got 44,000 results. You can keep on narrowing the search but the results are still too much to handle. The main point is using diet to cure cancer is nothing new, it is not too difficult to be used by the patients themselves even without oncologist and is inexpensive without drugs, I believe this is the main reason why medical community and cancer industry have been so much against it. Nevertheless, It is always a good idea to have a doctor or health professional who has knowledge of diet and nutrition in the teaatment of disease to treat cancer patients who wish to use diet instead of conventional treatment, this will speed up the cure of cancer and at the same time take care of complications that can arise from cancer. But to find an orthodox doctor who believes in diet and nutrition is not easy because conventional medical education doesn't believe in it. One way to search this kind of doctors in North America is to request Cancer Control Society of Los Angeles to send you the list of doctors who have experience with diet and nutrition in their records.

On this website I will concentrate on raw and cooked diet as well as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in the treatment of cancer. I believe TCM is the best choice for combination with diet treatment not only because it has proven to cure cancer by itself alone but also it can prevent or treat complications arising from cancer. The philosophy of TCM also coincides with the philosophy of western diet therapy that places emphasis on treating whole body instead of local tumors.

The first phase of the project is to find and verify the producers of the organic produce, at the same time organize a health club of the middle class health-conscious group to support continuous demand and supply of real organic produce in Manila. This project organizer will search and contract a trader to supply the organic produce to the club members at the "wholesale" minimal price. Cancer patients will be benefited from the convenient and continuous supply of real organic produce at low "wholesale" price.

While the health club is being organized news will be advertised in Manila's newspapers to recruit doctors who are willing to participate in the reserch project. Proposal for the doctor's participation and protocol for the WHD will be published on my website.

While above steps are being taken I will search and contact possible financiers to join the project. Initially I will shoulder the organization expenses. When organic producers and contract trader are found and the health club is organized, this ends Phase I of the project.

Phase II is the implementation stage after the organization of the project in Phase I. But let me first discuss the proposed WHD diet. The core of my proposed diet is based on Gerson's diet (use back arrow to return here), it is then supplemented by Wigmore's wheatgrass juice and fresh sprouts because Gerson's diet didn't stress the benefits of wheatgrass juice and sprouts. The proposed diet is further supplemented by Budwig's flaxseed oil and cottage cheese. Flaxseed oil was the only oil endorsed in Gerson's diet, therefore the compatibility of Gerson and Budwig diet is perfect. These three groups are then supplemented with cooked foods that have been reported to cure or are beneficial in the treatment of cancer, among them are Macrobiotic diet, SunSoup, Four ingredient soup.

From so many reports of the benefits of raw foods, almost all of the supporters insisted on 100% raw foods to cure cancer and other diseases, for our project I think a ratio of 80% raw and 20% cooked food is a good start. I believe the diet should not be regidly fixed, it not only should depend on the tolerance of the patients in general but should also be flexible on a day-to-day basis, just like TCM practice the concoction herbal mixture should be modified if necessary every few days based on the response of the patients to the previous mixture. The foods in our project include grains, vegetables, greens, sprouts, fruits, sea plants, and herbs, but exclude all meats during the treatment. Fermented milk from animal source such as cottage cheese, or yogurt as used in Budwig diet will also be included.

Fruits are more acceptable and tolerated by most patients, it is important to know the proper ways of eating and juicing them. Here is a reference from an email I received describing the best way to consume fruits by a doctor who used fruits to treat disease. Science of eating Fruits. (use back arrow to return heere)

Vegetables and fruits are the two groups which constitute the major part of the diet. They should be produced locally as much as possible. I think 90% or more of these groups should be consumed raw. There were some cooked soups of vegetables that have been reported to cure cancer which will be included in our diet. TCM has some cooked fruit concoctions that can be included in the diet for those who cannot tolerate the acidity of raw fruits.

Sprouts include grains, beans, and vegetables, they are the easiest to produce and are free from toxic agricultural chemicals as long as the seeds are from organic source. It has been reported to contain many times the vitamin values compared to the full-grown plants. Bean sprouts have been suggested to be cooked to prevent the inhibition of some enzymatic benefits, since our project allows cooked foods, it will still allow us to include bean sprouts.

Greens include those from vegetables such as broccoli and spinach as well as from grass and sea plants. However, it is not common for human to eat grass although wheat grass or barley grass contains a full range of human nutrition, we can consume grass in the form of processed wheat or barley grass tablet, capsule or powder. We can also grow wheat or barley grass at home including hydroponic growing without soil.

Sea plants include fresh seaweeds as well as spirulina and chorella, which are the most popular ones, can be purchased in tablet, capsule, or powder form. Other proprietary but more expensive ones such as Fucoidan are available commercially.

Grains are not commonly connsumed in raw state, they will be part of the cooked diet. There were some authors who even suggested that grains were not necessary for the treatment, only vegetables, fruits, and greens are needed. Gerson's diet doesn't have much grains, but our project includes patients who have low tolerance for raw foods, grains can be a good source of the needed nutrition. TCM has many dietary soups that are based on cooked grains which will be included in our diet.
