Eliminate refined sugars, oils and carbohydrates
Eat more fruits and vegetables. (While a grape diet has eliminated cancer in
some people, you typically want to stay away from eating a lot of fruit, as
sugar feeds cancer cells.)
Eat organic whenever possible.
Make sure you are getting enough essential fatty acids, especially Omega 3.
Spend some time out in the sun to get vitamin D or take supplemental D.
Stay away from chlorinated drinking water and chlorinated water in showers.

MUST GIVE UP COFFEE
Include Foods High in Oxalic Acid
Whatever cancer diet you choose, 50% or more of the foods you eat should be high in oxalic acid – but not too many greens. Oxalic acid is deadly to cancer cells.
Essentially 50% of the foods a cancer patients eats should come from this
website, which is a list of foods high in oxalic acid:
Oxalic Acid Foods List
Carrot juice, with a little beet juice, is a common cancer treatment. Both foods are high in oxalic acid.
Chlorine, Fluoride and Other Toxic Chemicals
Avoid all chlorine in your diet. This includes avoiding foods made with tap water. Chlorine destroys many phytonutrients and other nutrients, thus the damage done to the food during processing, if chlorine is used, is permanent and cannot be reversed. This means, for example, not drinking soda pop or any other drinks that have been made by mixing tap water with something else. You should not buy bottled grape juice because during processing, the chlorine in the tap water destroyed many phytonutrients. The damage cannot be reversed.
Vegetables
As a general rule, ALL vegetables should be organic, if possible. Green vegetables, including grasses (generally juiced) and sprouts, MUST be the foundation of a good cancer diet. The fiber, enzymes, chlorophyll, minerals, and many nutrients are necessary for your cancer diet. Even if you could figure out a cancer diet without eating green vegetables (including the grasses), you should not do it. These are REQUIRED to be the foundation of your cancer diet!!
Just as there are some things you must not eat, there are some things you MUST eat.
Juicing vegetables and grasses will help get more nutrients into the body. However, some whole vegetables should be eaten in order to get the fiber. Fiber is critical to a cancer treatment.
As with all juices, if you make the juice from the actual foods, the juice should be drunk immediately after they are prepared. In cases where many small doses of a fresh vegetable juice are needed to be taken (e.g. to avoid diarrhea), the juice can be refrigerated during the day.
Essentially, you should have organic, fresh salads/vegetables/juiced grasses/sprouts for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many of the other foods that are allowed on this diet should be mixed in with the salad, except for the vegetable juices.
A list of such vegetables taken from the Young book:
“broccoli [*], asparagus [*], beets [*-moderation], cabbage [*], carrots [*-moderation], cauliflower [*], celery, cucumbers, egg-plant, green and yellow squash [moderation], green beans and peas (fresh), red[*] and yellow[*] peppers (also green[*] if they agree with you), spinach, mustard greens, collards, kale [*], lettuce, okra, parsley[*], scallions, radishes, Swiss chard, watercress, sea vegetables, such as nori, wakame and niziki, wheat grass[*-usually juiced], barley grass[*-usually taken as a supplement], turnips[*], and sprouted grains[*] or beans[*]. Also eat lots of garlic[*] and onion[*], if they agree with you.” Sick and Tired? – page 96
The [*] symbol means this is a known anti-cancer food and these foods should be favored. The Young book is not specific to cancer, so it is necessary to inject comments relative to cancer. By the way, both of the Robert O. Young books have a number of recipes in them.
It would be a really good idea to juice all of the vegetables available that have the [*] symbol above!!
A word about sprouts. Even sprouts purchased in health food stores have been shown to have very dangerous bacteria in them. Wash them very well, but it is even better to make them yourself.
Nuts
In general, only whole almonds, whole macadamia nuts and whole walnuts are allowed on a cancer diet. Cashews are strictly prohibited. Almonds and macadamia nuts both have laetrile, and both are acceptable. Walnuts have the very critical omega 3. Other nuts should be used very sparingly. Peanuts (which are not really nuts) and cashews both have too much fungus and should not be used at all.
With the exception of walnuts being used in a Budwig Diet treatment, even the acceptable nuts should be used sparingly.
The Superfoods
By a very wide margin, the best foods in the world are wheatgrass juice, barley grass juice and a few other grasses. Only a small number of vegetables can even come close to these superfoods. However, most people are not going to sprout grass (search the Internet for the phrase: “wheatgrass kits” if you want to do it). Thus, many vendors make a variety of qualities of parsley powder, kale powder, barley powder or powder made from a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, and grasses. Hopefully you will pick the high quality products. Such foods are absolutely required for a cancer treatment, mostly due to chlorophyll, but for other reasons as well.
It is impossible for a family to recreate some of the products which include multiple grasses and leaves. These are good additions to a cancer diet.
However, in addition to such supplements, you will hopefully be able to juice fresh wheatgrass or barley grass for yourself.
Legumes
Legumes, except peanuts, are allowed to be eaten by cancer patients, but only in moderation and only to stabilize the weight of the patient or to provide protein.
Soy Products
To put is mildly, soy products are a highly controversial issue among alternative health experts. Some experts love some soy products, and others hate all soy products (and that is also putting it mildly). It is up to your own judgment on this issue. Let me quote from Dr. Young’s book:
“The diet can include fresh soy sprouts, organic soybeans, fresh tofu, soy oil, and lecithin (a by-product of soy). Try to find organically grown beans and soy products. While the sprouts are recommended without reservation, processed soybean, especially tofu, comes with some cautions…” Sick and Tired? Reclaim Your Inner Terrain, Robert O. Young, page 97
In reality, all soy products should be avoided except fresh soy sprouts. Soy sprouts have an impressive number of anti-cancer nutrients and are acceptable as part of your salads, if you can make your own soy sprouts.
Whole Grains
Whole grains can be used only when a cancer patient is fighting dangerous weight loss. If the weight loss is uncontrolled, they should consider a cachexia treatment plan, based on Hydrazine Sulphate (see the sample treatment plans). Yeast, which every cancer patient has throughout their body, converts complex carbohydrates into simple carbohydrates, so even whole grains should be avoided when possible. In any case, avoid commercially stored grains and potatoes.
Another reason to avoid even whole grains is that over the decades the soil has become acidic and because of the soil many whole grains have more fungus than they did many decades ago. Corn and rice (because of the way they are stored) are grains that should be totally avoided.
Yeast (Baker’s and Brewer’s)
This is another reason for avoiding processed bread and other bakery products: “Japanese research links breast cancer with the ingestion of goods baked with yeast.” The problem is mycotoxins, which are waste products of yeast. There are many health problems that can be directly attributed to yeast, including arteriosclerosis, obesity, and AIDS.
NO flour (using yeast) can be used in a cancer diet, not even if whole grains are used!
** The only exception to this “yeast rule” is one particular Beta Glucan product called Transfer Point Beta-1, 3D Glucan; this supplement from Baker’s Yeast, however, is 100% Safe for anyone to take. Transfer Point is different than all other yeast beta glucans (which I would recommend you stay away from any others) because it is so highly purified thay it has 0 yeast properties at the cellular level. Therefore, it’s one of the only yeast-based products I would have a cancer patient take.
Meat, Fish, Fowl, Eggs, Dairy Products
All beef, all pork, all fish, all turkey and all chicken should be avoided during a cancer treatment. There are many reasons for these restrictions. The only exception is that if a person is fighting weight loss, some fresh, freshwater fish can be eaten if that is the ONLY thing the cancer patient will eat (e.g. they won’t eat beans or other legumes).
Avoid all dairy products, including butter, all cheeses and all malts, except cottage cheese or skim milk when used in the Budwig Diet. One exception is that pregnant and nursing women should eat two eggs per day because the choline is necessary for the baby’s brain development and the baby takes precedence since two eggs a day is not life-threatening to a cancer patient.
If a person must have milk, the only acceptable variety is unprocessed goat’s milk, “from organically grown and grazing goats.”
The Robert
O. Young book contains two long pages detailing why all animal
products are bad for humans. Specifically, meat is so bad for a cancer diet, I
have a separate article on meats:
Click Here
The Rule of Thumb is this: “if it contains something that came from an animal, it is forbidden!”
Sweeteners, the Bad and the Good
ALL man-made sweeteners (e.g. aspartame – NutraSweet, Equal) and fat substitutes should also be avoided. These items are most often associated with brain cancer, but everyone should avoid them. This is one of many reasons soda pops are out of the question. Soda pops are also acidic.
There is only one acceptable sweetener in a cancer diet – Stevia, which is an herb.
Sugar and Refined Grains
You should absolutely avoid eating refined sugar and refined grains and anything else refined. These things not only feed the fungus and yeast in your body, they also feed the cancer cells. The yeast in flour makes things even worse. Do not eat anything where yeast, fungus or mould is used, added or is a part of.
In addition, refined sugar and other simple sugars also interfere with your immunity system. These substances also interfere with getting Vitamin C and oxygen into the cancer cells. Sugar also depletes the body of key minerals and other nutrients because of its acidity. It is not the acidity that directly destroys the minerals, the acidity causes the body to use the minerals to regulate the pH level in the body. The same is true of all acidic foods.
The chain reaction caused in the body by acidic foods (due to the body’s attempts to keep the blood at a level pH) is the cause, or a major contributing factor, to almost all chronic diseases, including cancer. It would take an entire book to describe how the body keeps its pH normal, and the ramifications of these processes. In fact, that is the main theme of Dr. Young’s book mentioned above.
Honey
If sugar is bad for people with cancer, how about honey, another simple sugar? Honey is a case of both the good and the bad. Honey contains simple sugars, the fructose (38 percent) and glucose (31 percent) feed cancer cells. The good news is that honey contains powerful phenolic antioxidants. However, like grape juice, it should be avoided unless used in a very controlled “fast” (and I have never put together a “fast” that includes honey). If such a “fast” is used, the darker the honey the better (i.e. the higher concentration of antioxidants).
If a cancer patient absolutely has to have some sweetness during his or her transition to a cancer diet, and Stevia is not available, then honey, in small amounts, is acceptable.
Fruits, Dried Fruits and Fruit Juices
The only fruits that are allowed on this diet, without restrictions, are the following: unsweetened lime, unsweetened lemon, and avocados. That is it. Lemons are actually a required part of any cancer treatment because of their beneficial effect on the liver and because they get oxygen into the body. Lemon juice and lime juice should be taken primarily just before bedtime.
One exception to this general rule is special fruit “fasts,” such as the Johanna Brandt Grape Cure. When the body gets nothing but a potent fruit mush, it is a potent cancer cure.
Another exception to these general rules are for those on a cesium chloride protocol. They are allowed to eat fruits rich in potassium in order to meet their potassium quota.
Mushrooms (Fungi), Seaweed and other Saccharides
There are some mushrooms that are used in cancer treatments, generally as supplements. Realizing that some mushrooms kill cancer cells, but are at the same time primarily a fungus, take heed. Mushrooms are one of the good and bad foods. Use with caution.
The good news about mushrooms is that they do contain polysaccharides, which are essential to the immunity system. Mushroom supplements such as beta glucan are certainly acceptable to a cancer diet.
“Polysaccharides from mushrooms do not attack cancer cells directly, but produce
their antitumor effects by activating different immune responses in the host.
The anti-tumor action of polysaccharides requires an intact T-cell component;
their activity is mediated through a thymus-dependent immune mechanism.”
Link to Article
*Notably,
the most potent Beta Glucan is actually Yeast Derived, I mentioned it earlier
but I’ll link it here:
Source for
The Most Potent Beta Glucan
Seaweed is also high in polysaccharides, but the FDA crushed one of the superb seaweed products from Tonga because they claimed there was no “scientific evidence” for seaweed. Apparently, those in the FDA have not heard about the Nobel Prize. Actually, the FDA has not only tried to crush polysaccharides, but also the more potent Acemannan glyconutrient sugars, which are required by the immunity system to be able to communicate.
Here is a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED seaweed product, Modifilan (brown seaweed has at least 3 nutrients that kill cancer cells; furanone, fuecoiden, and algenic acid): Here is the product.
Aloe vera supplements can also be high in polysaccharides and the glyconutrients, but the glyconutrients are very difficult to process out of the aloe vera.
The next items also provides polysaccharides.
Algae (e.g. chlorella and spirulina)
Dr. Young says to stay away from blue-green algae, chlorella and spirulina. For cancer patients, I strongly disagree with this advice with regards to the chlorella and spirulina.
The benefits of chlorella and spirulina to a cancer patient, I believe, far outweigh the negative aspects. Between spirulina and chlorella they contain: polysaccharides (required for immune system communications), vitamin B12, GLA, Chlorophyll Growth Factor (CGF) and a host of other powerful anti-cancer nutrients. A vegan diet simply cannot provide all of these things.
If you do choose to avoid these items, then make sure you eat plenty of fresh organic broccoli.
Salt
Refined salt may be a major cause of cancer. Refined salt, the wrong fats, margarine and butter are the main causes of red blood cells sticking together (called: rouleau), causing them to absorb less oxygen and making hemoglobin a free meal for yeast and fungus. The clumped together red blood cells do not get as much oxygen into the cells of the body. Also, the clumped together red blood cells cannot pass through the smaller arteries/capillaries, meaning much less (if any) oxygen gets to cells in these areas of the body, and some of these cells may be turned to anaerobic (i.e. cancerous). As if that weren’t bad enough, once the cells are cancerous, the oxygen still can’t get to the cancer cells to slow down their spreading or kill them.
On the other hand, natural sea salt has a very similar mineral content as human blood. It is truly a health food as long as you don’t eat too much of it. Here is a quote:
“Salts obtained from solar evaporation of sea water are entirely different from modern refined salt. The plural “salts’ is deliberately used here, because sea water salts are actually a complex blend of trace minerals, as well as calcium and magnesium salts. This complex blend is essential to life, as Quinton’s research demonstrated.
Table salt
today, [on the other hand,] is primarily kiln-dried sodium chloride with
anti-caking agents added. Trace minerals, as well as calcium, magnesium and
potassium salts are removed in processing. Kiln-drying involves scorching salt
at high heat to remove moisture. This refining process creates a product that is
unnatural and hard on the body. It is the true culprit that contributes to high
blood pressure, heart trouble, kidney disease and eczema, among other problems.”
http://www.macrobiotic.org/thalass.htm
Another thing is for certain, the organic mineral cell salts found in vegetables, seaweed, etc. are critical.
Bad Fats and Oils
Other foods you should absolutely avoid are trans fats, meaning trans fatty acids or partially hydrogenated oils. Trans fatty acids may be one of the major causes of cancer. They become part of the cell’s wall (replacing cholesterol) and make the cell wall rigid or sticky and can make the cell anaerobic (i.e. the first step to becoming cancerous) because large oxygen clusters cannot get into the cells.
Like refined salt, these fats also destroy the electrical charge of red blood cells, causing them to “stick” together. When this happens, among other things, the red blood cells do not get to many cancer cells, meaning the cancer cells get far less oxygen (if any), meaning they thrive because they are anaerobic.
Another bad food for cancer patients is polyunsaturated oils. Polyunsaturated oils (e.g. corn oils sold in supermarkets everywhere) promote the growth of small blood vessels (by promoting the production of “bad” prostaglandins). This is bad for cancer because it allows tumors to grow new blood vessels. However, these small blood vessels are good for preventing strokes. Thus, while on a cancer diet avoid polyunsaturated oils.
In short, avoid all heated oils.
Herbs and Spices
All herbs and spices are acceptable, except black pepper and other highly acidic spices. Several herbs, such as Sheep Sorrel and Black Walnut, are known to be strong anti-cancer foods. Turmeric, which contains curcumin, is a spice that is a potent anti-cancer food.
As with all foods, the storage of herbs can cause them to be high in fungus. Also, herbs should generally not be used on a non-stop basis, unless specifically instructed to take them daily. Generally, it is best to take a periodic break from herbs.
Junk Foods, Condiments and Other Comments
You can forget about eating at a restaurant, big or small, formal or informal, unless it has a menu specifically for organic, raw foods.
Condiments are absolutely forbidden. One of the most acidic foods on earth is black pepper (black pepper is a major cause of acid reflux disease). Avoid soy sauce, pickled vegetables, relish, green olives, sauerkraut, and cucumber pickles.
Basically, any “refined” or processed food that contains sugar, refined salt, aspartame, MSG, trans-fatty acids, coloring, other additives, refined flour, etc. etc. should be avoided. Even the cooking of food kills critical enzymes needed for digestion.
There is a trend in the food industry of making “no trans fats” foods. This does not mean these are healthy foods. They are processed.
While it is true that cooking does release some vitamins, by a very wide margin, overall it is better to eat food raw, if it can be safely eaten raw.
Need I even mention stopping smoking (no matter what kind of cancer you have), because smoking puts more than 100 carcinogens in your body. Tobacco is also very high in sugar, fungi and yeasts. Part of this is due to they way tobacco leaves are processed.
Need I even mention stopping drinking alcohol (which is a “primary mycotoxin”), which interferes with ALL treatment plans. Alcohol has been shown to greatly increase the incidence of childhood leukemia. Need I even mention caffeine (except when it is used as an enema), because caffeine restricts the blood vessels, meaning less oxygen gets to the cancer cells. It is also acid-forming and mucoid-forming. Sorry, chocolate lovers.
Let us use some common sense in our choices.
Some Special Listed Foods
Peanuts are perhaps the number one food that should be avoided because they are so high in fungus. Foods that have little resistance to invaders, when they are growing, are frequently high in fungus.
Corn, rice (because of the way it is stored) and potatoes, and any foods with corn, rice or potatoes, should be avoided, also because of fungus and the way they are stored.
Cashews are another food high in fungus.
Avoid processed apple juice for reasons beyond the scope of this article.
Avoid oranges, tangerines, and dried fruits, for a variety of reasons.
Do not microwave any foods during a cancer diet.
Water and Exercise
Every cancer patient should drink as much natural water (i.e. natural spring water or natural artesian water, processed with ozone) as they can, up to a gallon a day. The many benefits of water are beyond the scope of this article, but rest assured it is important.
Also, a cancer patient should get as much exercise as reasonable. Exercise pumps the lymph system and helps get toxins out of the body. Even if a person can do no more than lift 3 pound weights for 10 minutes while sitting in a chair, it will help.
As Dr. Young emphasizes, it is also good to sweat in order to release toxins.
Raw Food Diet Recipes

That’s the abbreviated title. The full name is:
The Raw Vegan, Anti-Cancer, Super
Anti-Oxidant Coconut Fruit Smoothie!
This recipe was given to me as part of my
Anti-Cancer Diet by my nutritionist and I’ve been
drinking it nearly everyday since 2004, either as a meal or a snack.
Surgeon Generals Warning:
Highly Addictive Deliciousness.
Here is the recipe:
1 Young Coconut
I buy a case of nine for around $12 at a
local Asian market. Make sure you ask for “Young Coconuts”, they are much softer
and easier to cut than fully mature coconuts.
I love Asian markets. It’s like stepping into a strange exotic world. The
shelves are filled with weird products and food you will never see anywhere
else; all written in a language you can’t read. So be prepared. Also the
employees may not speak English very well, if at all. Lots of nods and smiles.
And there will be some strange odors.
The Chinese market I frequent keeps cases of coconuts in the back freezer. I always ask someone to fetch me a case from the back because it’s easier than trying to carry nine coconuts in those little hand baskets. A case of 9 coconuts costs me $14-18. Some grocery stores sell them individually for around $2-3 each.
I love the instructions on the case:
1) Hold knife in one hand and coconut in the other hand
2) Insert straw and flower
Here’s the recipe:
1-2 cups of Frozen Organic Berries
I buy them prepackaged in the frozen
section of my local Whole Foods Market, and you may find them at conventional
supermarkets as well. They usually cost around $3.99 for a 1 lb bag.
They usually contain blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries;
and a package should have about three servings. I recently discovered
that Costco also sells huge bags of Organic Berries. Score!
Some of the known anti-cancer nutrients in these fruits:
Blueberries contain ellagic acid, anthocyanins, OPC, and caffeic acid.
Raspberries and Strawberries contain ellagic acid, and laetrile.
Blackberries also contain ellagic acid and have anti-mutagenic effects as they
protect cell dna from damage
1 Frozen Organic Banana
The frozen banana makes it sweet, thick, and frosty like adding ice cream would.
Ice is optional, if you like it icey.
Next the fun part: Getting the coconut open. The goal is to cut the top off the coconut without 1) injuring yourself or 2) spilling the juice everywhere. You will need a strong and sharp serrated knife. A bendy blade ginsu knife is not going to get it. I’m partial to Cutco Cutlery.
Here’s how you do it:
CAREFULLY
insert the blade straight down with a stabbing motion into the top of the
coconut (Hi-ya!), then make a sideways cut about 2-3 inches long. Repeat this 4
to 6 times, working your way around the top of the coconut connecting the cuts
until you can easily remove the octagon-shaped top.
-Pour the coconut juice into a blender.
-Scoop out the white coconut meat with a spoon and put it in the blender.
-Blend the juice and meat together to make coconut milk.
(I use and highly recommend the
Vita-Mix 5200 Blender.)
In most blenders you’ll need to blend up the juice and
meat before adding other ingredients. It will be lumpy if you don’t.
-Blend in 1 cup of frozen organic berries
-Blend in 1 banana (frozen is best, if your blender can handle it)
Of course there are lots more ingredients you could
add to jazz it up, but that’s the basic simple smoothie I drink nearly everyday.
So prepare to enjoy a delicious, super healthy, high anti-oxidant,
cancer-fighting smoothie!

Super Salad
When you replace deadly processed fats and oils with life-giving unsaturated/saturated fatty acids, your cells rebuild and are rejuvenated. Dr. Budwig found that consuming a mixture of cottage cheese, flaxseeds, and flaxseed oil had the best results. (2)
When cottage cheese (which is rich in sulfur protein and saturated fats) and flax (which is high in electron-rich unsaturated fatty acids) are combined this way, your body is able to absorb these vital nutrients easier and quicker.
Because of the changes in agriculture, I suggest this updated 21st century version of the Budwig Protocol:
Mix all the ingredients together in bowl or blender and consume once daily.
by Chris Wark (Chris Beat Cancer)
To strengthen your body’s ability to fight cancer, you need to eat what I
ate:
The biggest baddest healthiest salad on the planet!
It consists of raw organic vegetables, sprouts, seeds, nuts and homemade
dressing.
This salad is super healthy, delicious and will fill you up without zapping your
energy.
The Raw Vegan Diet was a huge part of my anti-cancer strategy and I ate this salad every day, sometimes twice a day, during the first few years of my Chemo-Free Cancer Battle.
I wanted to put as many vitamins, minerals, nutrients and enzymes into my body as possible and there’s no better way than Juicing and eating fresh raw organic fruits and vegetables.
There’s really no secret formula to this salad, but there are some guidelines to follow:
Absolutely no cheese, meat, or store-bought salad dressing.
It’s also a good idea to avoid fruit which can cause some indention when eaten with vegetables.
It is important that you use organic produce, which is free
of toxic chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
And of course wash everything before you eat it. Then just chop it all up and
throw it in a bowl!
Note: You’re might need some bigger bowls. Mine doesn’t look very big in the photo, but it holds over 6 cups. That’s six servings of vegetables! 6-10 servings per day of fruits and vegetables is ideal for cancer prevention and healing.
The Giant Cancer Fighting Salad
-Start with the most nutrient dense dark leafy greens: Kale and Spinach. (Do not
exceed 10 cups per day)
-Broccoli (The best source of sulforaphane which promotes liver
detoxification, and Indole-3-carbinol, an anticarcinogenic
compound )
-Broccoli Sprouts (Concentrated sulforaphane & I3C. Do not exceed four cups of
sprouts per day)
-Cauliflower
-Purple cabbage (cheapest source of antioxidants per ounce in the world!)
-Slice of red onion, (yellow or green onions may actually be better)
-Leeks
-Artichokes
-Red, Yellow, or Green Peppers
-Mushrooms Bella, Cremini, Shiitake, etc.
-1/2 an Avocado
-Squash
-Zucchini
-Raw Sunflower seeds (sprouted is better)
-Raw Almonds (sprouted is better)
-Sprouted Garbanzo Beans
-Sprouted Mung Beans
-Sprouted Red or Green Lentils
Then I top it off with either one of these naturally fermented foods:
-Bubbies Old Fashioned Sauerkraut
Bubbies is made with only three ingredients: cabbage, water and salt. It is
fermented and cured with all natural enzymes intact and there is no vinegar
added. (Bubbies Kosher dill pickles are super tasty too.)Look for it in the
refrigerated section of your local grocer or health food store.
-Kimchi (Pronounced “Kim Chee”)
Kimchi is a spicy Korean version of sauerkraut typically consisting of fermented
cabbage, onions, garlic, and pepper. Kim Chi has high concentrations of Vitamin
C and Carotene in addition to Vitamin A, B1, B2, Calcium, Iron and beneficial
lactic acid bacteria.
Recognized as one of the Top Five “World’s Healthiest Foods” by Health
magazine. Also in the refrigerated section.
Fermented foods are great for digestion and repopulate your intestinal flora with beneficial bacteria essential for health.
Repeat: Absolutely no cheese, meat, fruit, or store-bought salad dressing.
I know it seems weird to exclude fruit. Here’s why:
Fruits and vegetables need different digestive juices, and when eaten together can create excess acid and indigestion. That is why it’s a good idea to eat them separately, especially if you are sick. This even includes non-sweet fruits like tomatoes and cucumbers.
My Homemade “Zesty Italian” Salad Dressing
This is hands down the healthiest salad dressing on the planet!
It’s super easy and delicious. Here’s how you make it:
-Add 1 tbsp Bragg organic extra virgin olive oil to your salad
-Add 1 tbsp Barleans cold-pressed flax oil to your salad
-Lightly drizzle
Bragg Organic Apple Cider Vinegar to taste (another super healthy fermented
food!)
Then shake on as much of these
Four Cancer Fighting Spices as you can stand:
-Organic Oregano
-Organic Garlic Powder
-Organic Turmeric or Curry Powder
-Organic Cayenne Pepper (this will spice it up quick, go easy the first time)
