Lesson 2: The Cancer Diet For Most Treatment Plans
The Concept of a Cancer Diet
I remember reading the detailed diary of a person who was trying to cure his own cancer with alternative treatments. I was puzzled why his treatments weren't working until I came across an entry several months into his treatment plan. He basically stated (after several months of alternative treatments): "I decided to stop smoking." What is wrong with this picture? What is wrong is that he thought he could treat his own cancer by popping pills. There is far more to fighting cancer with alternative treatments than popping pills.
Understand this carefully, taking any alternative cancer treatment is like putting gasoline in your car - you are on your way to killing cancer cells, etc. But having a bad diet, while you are on a cancer treatment, is like putting water in that same gasoline tank!!
As mentioned in my article "Introduction to Alternative Cancer Treatments," many people have cured their cancer using nothing but a massive change in their diet!! And I will add now that a bad diet during a cancer treatment has destroyed many alternative cancer treatments!! Something as simple as adding refined salt to your foods may destroy an entire cancer treatment!!
Hear this: THE CANCER DIET IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE CANCER TREATMENT. IF THE CANCER DIET IS NOT, IN AND OF ITSELF, TREATING THE CANCER, THEN IT IS INTERFERING WITH THE CANCER TREATMENT!!!
Another thing that must be understood is that the logic a person must use on a cancer treatment diet is different than the logic they are accustomed to using in dealing with orthodox medicine. Let me give you an example:
When taking orthodox drugs, you might encounter something like this:Step 1: Take the yellow and green pills.Step 2: Do not drink alcohol or tea after taking the pills.
What about the foods and drinks not specifically mentioned in Step 1 and Step 2? With orthodox medicine you are free to eat anything not prohibited.
But with alternative cancer treatments just the opposite is true. For example, let us consider a simplified Brandt Grape Cure diet:Step 1: Grape Juice and natural water.Step 2: Do not ingest any chlorine.
In this case, you are FORBIDDEN to eat any food that is not in Step 1, even though it is not listed in Step 2. Understand this: with alternative treatments for cancer, what you don't eat is just as important as what you are allowed to eat.
Most people who get cancer get it because of the things they have eaten!! The wrong foods created an internal terrain which allowed the body to be filled with fungus (e.g. tobacco leaves are filled with fungus, as are peanuts, to name but two of many such substances commonly consumed), such that when a carcinogenic substance reacted with the body, the internal terrain could not deal with the carcinogenic substance and the person got cancer. Thus, by default, if you want to reverse your cancer, you must reverse your diet to create a strong inner terrain.
A cancer diet severely restricts what you can eat. By default, if it is not specifically allowed to be eaten in the treatment plan, don't eat it!! The Step 2 items are simply the most damaging things to the diet.
Another key fact is that many people crave certain foods. This may be because of habit or it may be because of a food allergy. People crave foods they are allergic to. I have known this fact for 30 years. Thus, switching from the diet that caused your cancer to a diet that is needed to cure your cancer may involve the stopping of eating foods the person is allergic to (i.e. they crave). This compounds the problem and means even more effort is needed to stick to the diet.
Not All Cancer Diets are the Same
Another thing that must be understood is that for some cancer treatments there are special diets. In other words, not all cancer diets are the same.
For example, in the "InnerLight" cancer treatment of Robert O. Young, PhD, all fruits are forbidden. They are forbidden for good reason in his diet! His diet is designed to balance the pH in the blood and "remove" (I use that term in a non-technical way in this case) yeast and fungus (Y/F) from the body! Like a few other cancer treatments, his treatment converts cancer cells into normal cells.
But in other cancer treatments fruits are not only allowed, they are an integral part of the treatment. Why? Because some cancer diets are designed to kill cancer cells, and some fruits contain massive amounts of cancer-killing nutrients and the glucose in these fruits "carries" the cancer-killing nutrients into the cancer cells, which gobble up glucose and steal it from normal cells. This means they also steal the cancer-killing nutrients from normal cells. This can lead to cancer cell death.
Thus, this web page must first determine which theory of treating cancer is being used. In this web page, the straightforward theory of killing-cancer cells is used. The reason is that most of the people reading this page have been through chemotherapy and radiation, and this appears to me to be the best approach.
If you want to use the "InnerLight" diet, that is fine, but you must read the book: Sick and Tired? - Reclaim Your Inner Terrain and use the exact diet Dr. Young tells you. Ditto for the Gerson diet, the Kelley Metabolic diet, the Moerman diet (though his book is out of print so I have reproduced his diet on another web page), and so on.
The diet in this page will keep in mind, at all times, the fact that every cancer patient has a body full of fungus, yeast and mould, but its focus will only partially be on treating this problem. In fact, many cases of severe fungi infection have been misdiagnosed as leukemia. Also, some "tumors" are actually nothing but a growth of fungus.
Cancer and fungus, yeast and mould (f/y/m) are close "cousins." All are anaerobic (i.e. they exist by fermenting glucose). The treatments for cancer and the treatments for f/y/m are many times the same. The relationship between f/y/m is not fully known yet, but it clearly appears that there is a direct connection!! See Dr. Young's book for more information, as well as my article on the same topic: Click Here
The main goal of this web page will be on killing cancer cells quickly, and to a slightly less degree "killing" (again, I use this term in a non-technical way) the yeast, fungus and mould. To be technical, killing a cancer cell probably is accomplished by killing the bacteria or mould in the cancer cell, but this is a technicality I will not get into here.
Understanding What A Cancer Diet Is
With regards to a cancer treatment, every food that we eat or drink can be categorized into several different categories:
Foods that feed and strengthen the cancer cells (e.g. refined sugar, refined flour, soda pop, etc.)
Foods that cause cancer (e.g. trans fatty acids [margarine, french fries and virtually every other processed food you buy], aspartame [Diet Coke, NutraSweet, Equal, etc.], MSG, polyunsaturated oils [e.g. corn oil], etc.)
Foods that directly interfere with alternative treatments for cancer (e.g. chlorine, fluoride, alcohol, coffee, etc.)
Foods that occupy and distract the immunity system from focusing on killing the cancer cells (e.g. beef, turkey, dairy products, etc.)
Foods that contain nutrients that kill the cancer cells, stop the spread of cancer, or in some other way help treat the cancer (e.g. purple grapes with seeds and skin, red raspberries with seeds, strawberries with seeds, broccoli, cauliflower, several herbs, carrots, pineapples, almonds, etc.)
In addition there are things like cooking vegetables. The cooking destroys the enzymes in the vegetables and make them far less digestible and far less effective in treating cancer. Pasteurizing fruit drinks also does this.
Ideally, during a cancer treatment, if foods are allowed on a particular diet, 100% of everything you eat should be in the category of "Foods that contain nutrients that kill the cancer cells, stop the spread of cancer, or in some other way help treat the cancer." Whenever you eat a food that is not in that category, you are interfering with your cancer treatment! This is why so many cancer diets are very high in certain raw vegetables and certain raw fruits.
Juicing of certain raw vegetables and raw fruits is also good in some cases (but not all cases, especially when the seeds are important) because the vegetables and fruits are more easily digested (translation: more nutrients get to the cancer cells). However, when you juice you throw away a lot of nutrients.
Some cancer treatments are virtually 100% raw vegetables and raw fruits. Thus, by living on a diet of foods and drinks known to be harmful to cancer cells and the spreading of the cancer, by combining this diet with one or more cancer treatments (e.g. Essiac Tea), you are supercharging the treatment, and just as importantly, not interfering with the treatment.
But also understand that not all vegetables and fruits are equal at treating cancer. Some vegetables do not contribute significantly to treating cancer and some fruits do not contribute significantly to treating cancer (at least not that we know of at the current time). On the other hand, some vegetables are very potent cancer killers, as are some fruits.
This concept is so important I am going to say it another way. Several of the publicized alternative cancer treatments include a vegan diet, meaning animal products are excluded and vegetables and fruits are eaten raw, when possible. However, a vegan diet is not a good cancer diet. These vegan diets should be converted to a "raw food" diet, meaning, as defined on this web site, a vegan diet that is predominantly vegetables and fruits that are known to treat cancer!
The Cancer Diet For Most Cancer Treatment Plans
Unless the cancer treatment you are on has a spcial diet, this is the cancer diet you should be on. However, I should add that the cancer diets of old cancer treatments are frequently obsolete and not as good as the current cancer diets which are based on a far better understanding of what is going on in your body. For example, if you are on Binzel laetrile program, you should carefully consider any differences between this diet and his diet.
Chlorine
As I mention in the warnings section of the tutorial in more detail, 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.
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 a second reason all soda pops are out of the question. Soda pops are also acidic, which is a third reason.
There are only two acceptable sweeteners in a cancer diet. First, is honey, the darker the better. Second, is Stevia, which is a 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.
Salt, the Good and the Bad
Refined salt may be a major cause of cancer. Refined salt causes red blood cells to stick together (called: rouleau), causing them to absorb less oxygen. 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, 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 is good for cancer patients:
"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 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 — not the complex blend of life-supportive minerals known as sea salt."http://www.macrobiotic.org/thalass.htm
About whole grains
Whole grains can be used only when a cancer patient is fighting 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.
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 it is stored) are grains that should be avoided.
Remember from above that NO flour (using yeast) can be used in a cancer diet, not even if whole grains are used!
Honey
If sugar is bad for people with cancer, how about honey, another simple sugar? The jury is still out on honey, but based on the evidence it seems honey is a positive thing to take if you have cancer. The bad news is that its simple sugars, fructose (38 percent) and glucose (31 percent) feed cancer cells. The good news is that honey contains powerful phenolic antioxidants. It may be that honey is as good as grape juice at getting cancer killing substances into the cancer cells (i.e. the sugars are a transport agent to get the antioxidants into the cancer cells). However, the exact quality and quantity of the antioxidants in honey, in treating cancer, is unknown. Honey also builds the immunity system. Bee pollen is a well-known cancer treatment, which fact adds credibility to using honey.
One thing that is known about honey is that the darker the honey the better, as far as antioxidants are concerned. So for now, honey should be considered an acceptable food for those with cancer, particularly the darker varieties. Of course, there are exceptions. Some treatment plans, such as the Breuss diet, do not work if there are excess sugars in the diet, even if the sugars are transport agents for antioxidants.
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 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 (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.
Meat, Fish, Fowl, Eggs, Dairy Products
All meat, all fish and all turkey and 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 all cheeses and all malts, except cottage cheese 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 this takes precedence because eggs are not terribly bad for a cancer patient.
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 came from an animal, it is forbidden!"
Fruits
The only fruits that are allowed on this diet, without restrictions, are the following: lime, lemon, grapefruit, avocados, red, black or purple grapes, fresh pineapples and the berries (e.g. strawberries, blueberries, etc.). Apples are both good and bad, depending on several factors, so they should generally not be taken. However, fresh apple juice (that you make yourself) is good for a cancer diet. Other fruits, except oranges and tangerines, can be taken, but should be taken in small quantities.
Fresh apple juice and fresh pineapple juice are frequently used to help the taste of vegetable juices.
Here are some of the fruits known to kill cancer cells (and any fruit highly related to these):
Raw pineapple (bromelain and pexoxidase),
Whole purple grapes with seeds and skins (more than a dozen, see grape cure section),
Apricot seeds (laetrile),
Strawberries, red raspberies, black raspberries (laetrile and ellagic acid),
Blueberries (ellagic acid, anthrocyanins, OPC),
(Fresh, unsweetened) lemon juice, lime juice or grapefruit juice (because of the oxygen from citric acid).
Vegetables and Nuts
In general, all nuts (except cashews) and vegetables are allowed on a cancer diet. However, some nuts and some vegetables are potent cancer-fighting foods!! This means a cancer diet should be strongly biased in favor of the fruits and vegetables that are known to kill cancer cells or build the immunity system quickly.
In general, for a cancer patient, the dark green, red, and yellow/orange vegetables are best. Carrots and beets are probably the two best vegetables for fighting cancer.
Here are some of the vegetables and nuts known to kill cancer cells (and any food highly related to these):
Raw Carrots (alpha carotene, beta carotene, Vitamin E, etc.),
Raw Broccoli (sulforaphanes/isothiocyanate),
Raw cabbage (isothiocyanates),
Green Asparagus (saponins),
Beetroot (proanthocyanidins (PAC's or OPC's)).
Almonds,
Macadamia nuts.
At least 80% of all fruits, nuts and vegetables taken during a cancer diet should come from the above lists, or be closely related to these items!! See the Raw Food article for more information on vegetables, nuts and fruits: Click Here
The Superfoods
By a very wide margin, the best foods in the world are wheatgrass juice, barley juice, parsley juice, chlorella and spirulina. Only a small number of vegetables can even come close to these superfoods. However, most people are not going to sprout grass. Thus, many vendors make a variety of qualities of parsley 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.
As with all juices, if you make the juice from the actual foods, the juice should be taken 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.
Sprouts also fall in the category of superfoods, though a person must be warned that toxic and dangerous bacteria can accumulate in sprouts, even in organic sprouts purchased at a health food store.
Of special mention is chlorella, along with its side-kick spirulina. Chlorella is a SUPERB anti-cancer and anti-tumor food. It works against cancer in many different ways. It also treats the liver. Spirulina also has anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties, but also contains a large concentration of proteins which can help a cancer patient keep from losing weight and it contains the critical nutrients: Vitamin B12, omega 3 and omega 6 (GLA).
Legumes
Legumes, except peanuts, are allowed to be eaten by cancer patients. Except when a cancer patient is on a liquid diet (e.g. vegetable juices only) or is fasting, a cancer patient should eat some legumes, such as beans. This is because of the vegetable proteins in legumes. Legumes can also be used when a cancer patient needs to maintain their weight. They provide not only the vegetable proteins but the calories.
Herbs and Spices
All herbs and spices are acceptable, except black pepper. 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. More is said about these substances in the individual treatment articles.
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
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.
Junk Foods and Other Comments
Basically, any processed food that contains sugar, refined salt, aspartame, MSG, trans-fatty acids, etc. etc. should be avoided. Even the cooking of food kills critical enzymes needed for digestion.
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.
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.
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 potatos, and any foods with corn, rice or potatoes, should be avoided, also because of fungus.
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.
Do not take any condiments, such as black pepper.
Final Comments on Foods
Because there are so many foods that are prohibited, and because most cancer patients have eaten these forbidden foods all their life, a cancer diet can be a real shock.
What I would suggest is to carefully go down and isolate the foods a cancer patient is allowed to eat, which are foods he or she does like. This list essentially becomes their cancer diet.
However, this list should be broken down into two groups. The first list should be the foods on this list that are known cancer-killer foods, such as blueberries. At least 80% of the foods a cancer patient eats should come from this list. The rest of the foods (the second list) can be consumed 20% of the time.
Finally, except when a cancer patient is on a juice only portion of a diet, or is fasting, the vegetable protein the cancer patient is getting should be monitored. For this reason the 80%-20% rule can be overruled by the need to eat vegetable proteins, especially from legumes (except peanuts) and spirulina.
The Liver
According to Dr. Max Gerson, and others, even before the symptoms of cancer appear, the liver is damaged. As the cancer progresses, the damage to the liver also progresses.
The liver is the major organ in the body which deals with toxins. A person on an alternative cancer treatment releases a lot of toxins into the blood stream which end up in the liver. Because of this, the liver must be "detoxified" or "cleansed."
There are some alternative treatments that contain liver detoxification elements in the treatment itself. The grape cure, Essiac Tea, barleygreens, and others, cleanse the liver along with the treatment.
There are also a slew of herbs which "stimulate" or "detoxify" the liver. At the head of this class, as far as I know, is the herb "Milk Thistle."
Several alternative cancer treatments specifically deal with the liver by using enemas. Coffee enemas are by far the most common and are part of the Kelley metabolic plan, the Gerson diet, the Hulda Clark treatment, and others. "[Coffee enemas are] said to open the bile duct of the liver so that it quickly sends material into the colon for elimination." Occasionally, lemon enemas are also used.
The bottom line is that in designing a treatment plan, the care of cleaning the liver is critical. If the toxins in the liver build up and are not removed, it can cause the death of the liver, which means the death of the patient.
"The liver (among its many other functions) is the major organ of detoxification. Anything we can do to ease our toxic burden makes the liver´s job easier — including eating less, drinking more water, reducing our intake of toxins, exercising more, eating more fibre, and so on. There are also a number of herbs that help the liver with its detoxification tasks. These include dandelion root, yellow dock, burdock, chickweed and barberry — which are more effective when taken in combination than singly."http://www.mysticalwildes.builderspot.com/page/page/1026287.htm
Another thing that will ease the burden on the liver is the lymph system. The lymph system also helps remove toxins from the blood, but the lymph system does not have a "pump," such as the circulatory system has (the "pump" of the circulatory system is the heart). The lymph system is only pumped by exercise.
"Like the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is made up of channels or vessels, valves and filters (nodes). Unlike the bloodstream system, however, there is no pump like the heart. Instead, the lymphatic fluid is forced through the system by the action of the muscles and breathing."http://www.cbass.com/lymph.htm
The lymphatic system is critical to the immunity system, to the treatment of cancer and to taking a burden off of the liver. Many cancer patients, for a variety of reasons, are in no condition to go for long walks, jog, or do other types of exercise. However, the good news is that the arm muscles are just as good, and perhaps better, at pumping the lymphatic system as are the legs. Thus, lifting hand weights can accomplish much in helping the lymphatic system.
However, prior to cleansing the liver of toxins, the colon must be cleansed so that the toxins can be dumped into the colon!! This means that at the beginning of any alternative cancer treatment, there must be a colon cleanse.
"It is important to make sure that the colon is in good shape before stimulating the healing of the liver. If toxins cannot be excreted, the liver may store them, causing harm."http://immunedisorders.homestead.com/Detoxification.html

RECOVERING OZONE STORIES...
Recovery Stories: With having a colon hydrotherapy/nutrition clinic where I use ozone consistently I have seen many amazing recoveries. Starting with my own (prior to going back to school into the profession I am now in) - I was diagnosed in the 90's with CFS, FM, Lupus, MS and eventually breast cancer. I was on 5 prescription drugs to make it through any given day. My prognosis was not good. Though my cancer was stage I and not yet in the lymph nodes - they had told me it was mandatory that I do radiation or chemo. I refused. I heard about ozone.... initially started with intravenous given to me by someone else, and then eventually bought all my own equipment. For the first 2 years I did not have a sauna. I did rectal insufflations daily, drank the water, did vaginal insufflations and I funnelled over the breast every other day. I applied ozonated olive oil to the breast as well. Prior to having the tumor removed (which I don't know that I would do nowadays knowing what I know) I purchased a sauna and directly after surgery I began doing saunas 2 x a day. At first all I could do was 10 min. and I would be so sick. I stuck with it. It is now 4 years later, I have no cancer, I have no FM, CFS, Lupus or MS. I am well. I am off all prescription drugs. In the last two years I have traveled, bought a motorcycle and work consistently with people who are sick, doing something that I believe I was led to because of my own illness. Some of the things I have seen: * A woman who came to me with melanoma cancer on her back. She regularly went to her dermatologist every 6 weeks for removal of these spots. When she left every 6 weeks the doctor mapped out the next area he would remove 6 weeks later, etc. She is a red-haired, freckle faced person who was told that because of her "skin" and "freckles" that she would always have these cancer issues. She had stopped ever going out in the sun. She was approx. 55 years old. She began sauna use 2x a week (as well as colonics), and about 4 weeks later had her scheduled appt. with her dermatologist. He was amazed to find that she had no cancer on her back.... since then she purchased a sauna and has been regularly using it. She has had no recurring cancer. * A man came with a 'sebacious cyst' on his back.... he only wanted to try the sauna because someone told him to. He basically thought he had no problems, but thought it would detox him. After the first session he told me that the cyst was bothering him and he couldn't sleep. He took another sauna. He called me that night and said that the cyst had come to a head, and was extremely painful. He waited a few days, and then came in for another sauna. After that one, the cyst became very very red and swollen - it caused him major pain. He went in to a local doctor and had it lanced - the cyst he found out was filled with pus and bacteria. This cyst was supposedly 'harmless' - he had been told for about 18 years.... * My elderly gentleman who had suffered a car accident and had had a steel plate put in his arm. They were waiting for the area to heal around the stitching, but when he came to me it had not done so. He was miserable, and the first day he walked in off the street he was wearing slippers and an old filthy robe. He had not shaved in I don't know how long and he was to say the least a scary sight. I started to 'bag' his arm daily as well as giving him colonics and rectal insufflations. He also drank a fair amount of ozonated water. Because he had no car I would pick him up a few blocks away and bring him in for treatments.... initially he would grouse at me the whole time and miserably get into my car - not speaking except to complain. After treatments 3x a week for a few weeks I noticed that when I would pick him up he started to come out of his apartment dressed very snappy.... and could I actually see a smile lurking? He started to tell me about his life, and he started to have plans again for his future (at 92). The greatest thing was that all the red infection around the steel plate in his arm disappeared and for the first time in about 4 months he was able to brush his teeth. Eventually the arm healed, and his doctor could never figure out how that happened - lol. The bad news was he had to move away, and also could never get his driving license back :-) * A diabetic woman with a cut on her foot that would not heal. I bagged her leg daily for about 4 days, gave her ozonated olive oil.... and it healed on its own. This woman had to do maintenance treatments - but it was interesting that she had had that cut for about 5 months, and it would not heal - they had had her on 5 different antibiotics. * Recently a lady came to me with an extreme case of eczema that she had had for over 20 years. She had been treated with steroids for years. Her case was so bad that she had recently been hospitalized and was unable at the time I saw her to take another Rx drug -because they made her so sick. She was desperate. She also had picked up a MRSA infection the hospital, which was doing a fair amount of damage on her leg. Immediately we started rectal insufflations, colonics, liver cleanses. We bagged the leg with the MRSA infection and also used ozonated olive oil on it. She received some intravenous ozone treatments. At first her skin was like an elephant's skin - very thick - oozing with open sores. She looked like a leper. After a couple weeks she was MRSA free on the outside of her body and she recently called to tell me that her report from the doctor confirmed it. She has pink, glowing skin and is currently at work, enjoying herlife to the full - prescription drug free. I could go on and on,,,, I have many more stories, but suffice it to say - I have NEVER once seen ozone fail.

INFRARED SAUNA
I love my infrared sauna. There are such great benefits from using an infrared sauna...I bet you are waiting with baited breath for me to elaborate further...okay, I will. IMPROVED CIRCULATION...
The life of the body is in the blood. When you sauna in a Purus Far Infrared Sauna, you are nearly doubling the blood flow throughout your body. You are also bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to each individual organ and each individual cell. The oxygen in this blood, in turn, helps to neutralize the acids that build up in our muscles and cause pain. This increased blood circulation also carries away waste and helps to clean out the arteries and veins. Because of vessel dilation, your Purus Sauna can do this while even lowering your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is already low…no need to worry. Low blood pressure isn’t affected.With this increased blood circulation, you’re removing excess minerals, heavy metals, and toxic substances that may restrict blood
flow. By increasing blood circulation, you are cleaning your veins and arteries. By improving circulation with your Purus Sauna, you can also receive numerous other health benefits:
Normalized cholesterol levels
Enhanced mental alertness
Expanded memory
Pain relief
Improved energy levels
