Recommended Cancer Diet
Modern cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation have such diet side effects that many who have received the dreaded diagnosis turn first to alternative treatments, searching for anything that has worked — from suggested alternative drugs to recommended cancer diet programs. One of the few cancer diets that is proven to work happens to be one that I have personal experience with: the Kelly Cancer Diet.
My mother-in-law, a nutritionist, learned about the Kelly Cancer Diet after she had been diagnosed with melanoma of the foot. She asked her colleagues, and found that Dr. Kelly’s was the number one recommended cancer diet in the USA. Her cancer was discovered at stage 2B — and in the weeks between the discovery and the scheduled excision, the Kelly diet had reduced the tumor to stage 1A.
The Kelly diet has, at its center, an understanding of how cancer cells defend themselves from your body’s immune system. Cancer cells surround themselves in a membrane of proteins which prevent your immune system from correctly identifying them as threats. In a healthy body, those proteins are broken down by enzymes, and the mutant cells are removed. The first goal of the Kelly diet is to restore your body’s digestive enzyme balance so that it can produce enough enzymes to get to and attack the cancer cells’ membranes.
Even after that, however, for a tumor of any significant size, the body has some troubles dealing with the sheer quantity of biological waste created by the destruction of a tumor. For that reason, the Kelly diet’s second goal is to stimulate the immune and excretory systems and detoxify the body of other substances, to allow it to focus more fully on eliminating the cancer-waste.
To accomplish these goals, the recommended cancer diet Kelly espouses asks you to do some very complex-looking and challenging things. You cannot eat protein (outside of a pair of eggs) after lunchtime. You cannot eat cooked meat, and cooked food of any kind is discouraged. You MUST make and drink juice that includes carrots and celery along with other raw, fresh vegetables and fruits every day. You MUST eat a handful of raw almonds with every meal and as snacks between meals. You cannot eat soy products, refined carbohydrates like anything made with any amount of sugar, corn syrup, or flour, or peanuts. You should eat a few tablespoons of raw liver daily. Avoid highly acidic foods.
The truth is, while the diet seems complex, it’s really just a pattern that you must adapt to. Once you’ve done it for a week, it will become second nature. Wake up, make juice with carrots, celery, beets, chicken liver, eggs, spinach, and bananas. Drink that and eat some almonds for breakfast. A massive salad with beef or lamb tartar or sashimi — and more almonds — with lemon juice dressing — for lunch. Two eggs and more fresh fruit for dinner. Repeat until your cancer has regressed to an operable stage or died entirely.
There are lots of variations on this diet — Dr. Gonzalez has a famous twist that is currently under study by the FDA and is worth researching, for example. But the baseline Kelly is my personal recommended cancer diet: I’ve seen it work, and I understand why… what more can I say?
