Cancer Nutrition
Feed Yourself Back to Health
The information below provides a general overview and may not apply to everyone.
Note: Nutritional supplements are not recommended as the sole treatment for any ailment. Natural sources of nutrients (such as organic food items) are far better choices than synthetic supplements and are generally safer, too.
Your condition may require you to avoid certain foods or supplements. It is important to consult a qualified health care practitioner with experience in supporting nutrition for a personalized treatment protocol.
I can't over-emphasize the importance of finding and working with a practitioner who has knowledge of and training in BOTH traditional and holistic health care. Please refer to our Medical & Legal Disclaimer.

Research-Proven Benefits
Harbor UCLA Medical Center Study
Those who consumed more broccoli (3.7 half-cup servings weekly) were 50% less likely to develop colorectal cancer than those who never ate broccoli.
Johns Hopkins University Research
Rats fed broccoli sprouts before carcinogen injection developed smaller, fewer, and slower-growing tumors.
Fred Hutchison Cancer Research Center
Men consuming 3+ servings of cruciferous vegetables weekly were 41% less likely to develop prostate cancer.
Many cruciferous vegetables contain indole-3-carbinol, which reduces the risk of hormone-dependent cancers such as prostate, breast, and ovarian cancer.
Cancer-Fighting Foods
Juicing & Juice Therapy
Juicing healthy fruits and vegetables allows for concentrated nutrition, enabling you to benefit from more nutrition than you could physically eat. This supercharges your immune system.

Recommended by the Gerson Institute
💡 Dr. Max Gerson's Protocol: Used mostly raw food and fresh vegetable juice diet for cancer patients with remarkably good results, detailed in "The Gerson Therapy" book.
Cruciferous Vegetables
Research shows these vegetables contain isothiocyanates that stimulate our bodies to break down potential carcinogens and prevent transformation of healthy cells into cancerous ones.
Broccoli Sprouts: Contains sulforaphane 20-50 times richer than mature broccoli. Stimulates enzyme production to destroy carcinogens.
Black Raspberries
Contain vitamins, minerals, phenols and phytosterols. Research shows 460 genes were restored to normal activity in animals consuming freeze-dried black raspberry powder.

Watercress
Contains PEITC compound that may suppress breast cancer cell development by turning off signals that feed tumors with blood and oxygen.
University of Southampton research
🧄 Onions
Major source of phenols and flavonoids. Western Yellow, New York Bold, and shallots most effective against liver and colon cancer cells.
🌿 Turmeric
The #1 anticancer spice. Curcumin practically shuts down cancerous pancreas cell production by clamping down on cytokines linked to tumor growth.
🥬 Chlorophyll
Found in dark greens. Protects against carcinogens in contaminated food, overcooked meat, and polluted air. Chinese study: 300mg daily decreased liver cancer incidence significantly.
Cancer-Fighting Beverages
🍵 Green Tea
Powerful antioxidants that function as anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer agents.
Women drinking 6-10 cups daily lower breast cancer risk significantly
🌿 Essiac Tea
Discovered by Canadian nurse Rene Caisse. Found very effective for many ailments including cancer.
Came within 3 votes of legalization by Ontario government in 1938
Cancer-Fighting Supplements
Vitamin D
Dr. William Grant's study found that about 30% of cancer deaths could be prevented each year with higher levels of vitamin D.
Vitamin E
Achieves a 61% reduction in lung cancer and shows effectiveness in treating other cancers.
Vitamin C
Slows cancer down and may even reverse it. May help chemo and radiation kill cancer cells while protecting healthy cells.
Dosage: At least 1 gram daily, with meals in divided doses
🔬 Selenium Cuts Death Rate from Cancer in Half!
A daily supplement of 200 microgram of selenium has been shown in a large placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical study to cut the death rate from cancer in half.
Study Results
- • Large group given 200 mcg selenium daily
- • Control group given placebo
- • 7-year study period
- • 50% fewer cancer deaths in selenium group
Availability & Cost
- • Available at pharmacies & health stores
- • About $5 for 50-100 tablets
- • Only 10 cents per day or less
- • Published in JAMA
📚 Published in: The Journal of the American Medical Association
National Cancer Institute research suggests selenium supplements may reduce men's prostate cancer risk by 60%.
🧬 The Story of Vitamin B17
Could it be that easy to cure cancer?
G. Edward Griffin marshals evidence that cancer is a deficiency disease - like scurvy or pellagra - aggravated by the lack of an essential food compound in modern man's diet. That substance is vitamin B17. In its purified form, it's known as Laetrile.
The Politics vs. Science
Why has orthodox medicine waged war against this non-drug approach? The answer is found not in science, but in politics - based upon the hidden economic and power agenda of those who dominate the medical establishment.
"With billions spent on research and drug sales, with fund-raising at an all-time high, there are now more people making a living from cancer than dying from it. If the solution were found in a simple vitamin, this gigantic industry could be wiped out overnight."
The result is that the politics of cancer therapy is more complicated than the science.
⚕️ Chemotherapy Nutritional Support
Critical Statistic:
According to Patrick Quillin, Ph.D., RD, CNS, 40% or more of cancer patients actually die from malnutrition rather than cancer itself.
Chemo and radiation cause nausea, vomiting, altered taste/smell, sore mouth/throat, diarrhea, and constipation. Cancer patients frequently become underweight and malnourished.
💡 Expert Recommendation: Include a cancer nutrition expert as part of your healthcare team to determine vitamin levels, heavy metal toxicity, and immune function.
Top Nutritional Support Picks:
🐟 Fish/Fish Oil
Omega-3 EPA may help immune cells recognize and destroy cancer cells, slowing their spread.
🌿 Curcumin
Induces cancer cell suicide without damaging healthy cells.
Dosage: 100-800mg daily
🧄 Garlic
May improve appetite by reducing chemo/radiation side effects. Protects healthy cells.
