Diet Is An Alternative Treatment

Before you discount the idea as hooky, please read about the success my husband, 61, has had in treating his Stage IV RCC (clear cell) with a raw vegan no-fruit diet for the past 20 months--4 months longer than any doctor would predict he could live.  After having his right kidney removed in Sept 03, my husband was "clean" on his scans for almost 3 years--until shadows appeared on the films in June 06 on his adrenal, lungs, and lympth node. 

He saw a total of 7 oncologists, all of whom gave him 6-18 months to live and no hope except for Nexevar or Sutent. At MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, the doctor put him on Nexevar--and within 10 days he had a reaction so profound that he was running high fevers and in the emergency room twice.  He was unable to tolerate the Nexevar and unwilling to endure the physical distress and complete debilitation again with Sutent.

Because traditional medicine had no more hope to offer him, he was desperate enough to try an alternative approach and agreed to go to Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida where we learned about and experienced for ourselves the amazing healing power of the body if you give it the right nutritional foods.  (hippocratesinstitute.com)

For the past year and a half, my husband has followed the raw vegan (no diary or egg) no-fruit diet that contains absolutely no sugar (because sugar feeds cancer--as evidenced by how those cells glow on PET scans after glucose injections).  All his tumors/lesions except one have either remained stable or shrunk; the one rogue tumor the doctors ablated and the tiny remnant of that one is currently unchanged. His doctor--one of the country's leading experts--has no explanation but tells "keep doing whatever you're doing."

During this time, my husband has taken no medication whatsoever. He feels wonderful, he walks 2-3 miles every day, he continues with his work, and he is enjoying life.

All the doctors told us--and still do--that diet makes no difference, but that is an illogical conclusion. We are what we eat.

You don't have to choose between the diet of all things healthy and available cancer treatments. You can add the right food choices and give your body a better fighting chance.

I write this because when we had no hope, I would have wanted to find this information to pursue.  Maybe someone else out there will feel the same.

Thank you for the post, very interesting indeed!

That is an story ful of hope for others. Actually, I am planning to go to Hipocrates Institute in West Palm Beach next June. I am also IV stage TCC on Sutent right now. I wating to be in in my resting period of the medication to go there for 3 weeks. I have high hopes in Hipocrates and do believe we are what we eat. Right now I am doing only vegetarian diet, cutting all sugars, meats, dairy and flours, but still eating cooked foods ( still Im feeling very very well ). My Oncologist think that type of diet is not very good for me because my treatment make my white blood cell count drop and raw food could cause bacteria and infection,  but I still think , this will be the best for me. How was your husband experience there? It was hard at the begining? I would like to hear from somebody who was there. And thanks a lot for share your experience with all of us.

I have a lot of hope and know God is the only  one who is giving me all my strength. To Him is the glory and with him the load is light.

  "He will keep you safe from all hidden dangers and from all deadly diseases. He will cover you with his wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you." Psalms 91:3-4

Hippocrates is wonderful, and I recommend that you record every class and do everything they say.  My  husband adheres completely to the diet, and  it works.  In fact, one doctor said this week that he has the highest alkaline rate she has ever seen.  The set-up at Hippocrates is totally self-responsible in that you participate to the degree you want and need.

It is "different" getting used to not eating cooked food, but eventually the store become another counter service.  You sort of have to wrap your head around the concept that food is for nutition and not for entertainment. The trade-off is worth it!  You don't have to take medicine and you can feel great, but Hippocrates does not make you choose between to the two treatments.

Keep me posted.

Thanks a lot for your reply and advice. I will try my best to fallow it and ask God for his help , like I told you, I have faith in this place.I will be coming back from Hipocrates in July and I wil let you know how it was.

Thanks a lot again, and I also would like to know how your husband is doing.

God Bless!

Thank you so much for sharing.  My husband has also chosen not to go with any of the traditional chemo/radiation treatments.  After checking out the stats on all the current treatments, he determined the end result of time  was not worth the damage/discomfort to get the small average gain.  We are currently working on diet and adding some supplements to help his immune system, but other than that he is on no medication.  He had always been a huge consumer of sugar, but he has always been very active and very thin, so we didn't worry much about the sugar.  Now we know we should have worried.

We try to live each day as it comes and enjoy the family for the time we are given.

You are in our prayers.

Diet can do truly amazing things. I really recommend that you both go to Hippocrates Health Institute in West Palm Beach, FL (I have no association other than being an alumni). Short of that, read some Raw Vegan "cookbooks" that have major sections of the why and wherefores of dieting. The absolute best are the ones from Hippocrates or chefs who have worked for them. I'm traveling now but when I get home, I will find titles if you are interested.

Also if you are not going to Hippocrates, I do have some info I am wiling to share that can be of assistance with the diet.

Best to you and your husband in the meantime.
