Foods YOU Need! – Cancer Fighting Spices

(This is part of an ongoing series called Foods YOU Need!)

While fighting cancer, I was strategic to use particular spices in the food I ate. I knew the research on these spices. I knew which spice induced apoptosis (cancer cell suicide)  and which slowed growth of tumors. Over the past couple years I have forgotten the function of these spices and have grown accustomed to adding them into my diet without remembering their awesome healing powers. Here is a brief review for myself and hopefully a quick lesson for you!

Anti-Cancer Foods – Garlic and Onions

It can’t hurt to add more garlic and onions into your recipe rotation. Garlic has been known for its healing properties for thousands of years. It has antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties. Onions are loaded with the bioflavonoid, quercetin, (remember this induces cancer cell suicide and prevents healthy cells from mutating into cancer cells.) Both should have a more prominent role in our cancer fighting cuisine!

This post also contains a DELICIOUS guacamole recipe, a CHALLENGING cancer fighting drink, and an AMAZING oil/garlic salve that can improve many ailments!

It is difficult to find official research studies in the world of holistic/alternative cancer treatment (mostly due to the lack of money in it!).  This video gives some quick insight into what is going on in the world of angiogenesis research, a burgeoning attack plan for alternative and allopathic cancer patients.

Foods YOU Need! – Dark Leafy Greens

(This is part of an ongoing series called Foods YOU Need!)

I preach the green stuff, but why do I believe in it like I do? Why do I chug down 64oz of it everyday?

Dark Leafy Greens like spinach, kale, romaine, baby lettuces, and chard should all be in our dietary forefront. We may wish they tasted better, but maybe by knowing WHY they are so good for us, we will want to make a better effort to eat them!

My Food DETOX and CHECK THAT LABEL!

Before “The kanser” nothing would enrage me more than people telling me how bad the food I ate was. “I just don’t like the texture of vegetables.” I would say. “They make me gag,” or “I work out everyday so it really doesn’t matter” would be my defense. I now know that it really does matter. When I was fighting my cancer I went through a major food detox. I didn’t use pills or juices exclusively; just raw and living foods. During the 6 month process I was able to avoid these Top 10 preservatives, additives and chemicals by sticking to an organic raw, vegan diet. My body responded and I am now in remission.

Read this list with an open mind. Get mad at it if you want, but keep reading through it. Even with all of this knowledge, I remember how strong my food addiction to this stuff was and how emotionally difficult it was to change.

DETOX – Health Starts with Your Diet

**(I have decided to break today’s post up into several days as there is simply too much information to cover in one post!)

As stated by Dr. Mercola recently, “Your body was designed to maintain equilibrium of health, and one of the basic cornerstones is your diet.”  How true!  As such, one of the easiest ways to rid our bodies of toxins is to make smart choices around the foods we eat.  An essential way of doing this is by eating lots of non-adulterated foods — that is, foods that are as close to their natural state as possible.  When you consume fresh, raw, non-adulterated food, everything you eat is considered to be a “superfood.”  It’s called a “superfood” because all of the nutrients in the food remain in tact and in abundance for our bodies to digest and assimilate.  These nutrients are important because

Supplements I Used For Healing From Cancer:

Dr. Williams Daily Advantage

One of the most common questions I am asked is what daily vitamin I recommend. Many of my friends who ask me this are taking a store bought multi-vitamin such as Centrum or even Flintstone Vitamins.  They complain of being tired halfway through the day, having allergy problems, and getting sick often. With absolutely no judgment being passed whatsoever (hey, I remember how yummy Flintstones tasted!) I would like to encourage anyone reading this to look into Dr. Williams Daily Advantage.  These vitamins come in a pack of eight caplets.  They are packed with the highest quality, food-based nutrients.  Food based vitamins are just that – vitamins that are derived from food.  They are recommended because their nutrients are more efficiently digested and assimilated into the body, making them very effective and
