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.

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.
