A diet to fight cancer?

Today I would like to share with you, curious readers, the amazing story of a cancer patient who decides to fight the disease following a rigorous diet vegan .What drives him to make this "reckless" decision? What results do you get? What is this extraordinary diet that I use to fight cancer? These are the points that we will analyze next.

A diet to fight cancer?

The patient I am talking about is called Antonio and is originally from Calabria, a region south of Italy with a rich culinary tradition in both meat and fish, since this man is diagnosed with a metastasis in the brain in 2011, after having fought hard to overcome two other lung tumors.To begin this new battle, doctors propose radiotherapy sessions to reduce the volume of the tumor and the surrounding edema.

Three months later make a check and although the result is positive , the tumor has not disappeared, so they suggest a cycle of chemotherapy.Antonio, tired of strong and aggressive treatments, refuses to not find the strength to endure it.And it is understandable after such a struggle.His family, on the other hand, does not accept this risky decision to abandon himself to his fate and decide to intervene, seeking alternative solutions , since Antonio flatly refuses to undergo chemotherapy.

In this way contact the WCRF and especially the The China Study , the vegan "Bible" , from the Colin Campbell biologist, which argues that food is closely related to some diseases such as diabetes or cancer, since these for their development need a nutrient and that eliminating it, theoretically we can cut their growth and even cure them completely.as? With a strictly vegan diet (100% vegetable), that is personalized, consisting of a first phase of "detoxification" in which the patient feeds only on juices of large, green leafy vegetables, preferably bitter and alkaline water for three months.After this time, you go to a phase of "maintenance" , much more permissive, which includes 30% of cooked vegetables and fruits.

A diet to fight cancer?

Our patient, encouraged by his family, decides to follow this vegan program that after concluding the first phase and going to review, discovers with surprise that the tumor has disappeared .But can we really attribute the victory to him to the vegan diet ? Or has the radiotherapy cycle been previously received? That it could have benefited in its recovery is unquestionable, although it must be taken into account that radiotherapy has an effect on the cells, in the same way when the therapy is being received as after the treatment, even for months.So attributing all the merit to the diet would be absurd, although Antonio has a very different opinion, he believes that the vegan diet has saved his life and is still vegan today.

In any case , we always trust the specialist doctors and let them be the ones who advise us before making decisions without consulting, that can seriously affect our health.Share this post with your friends and write your opinions.
