Summary of supporting diet (for those with cancer)

Dr Binzel's Diet Plan (See Philip E. Binzel, Jr., M.D. Alive and Well (American Media, California, 1994). For those with cancer, a restricted diet is recommended - very restricted for four months, then if the patient is doing well, it is liberalised to a certain extent.

The restricted diet:

Vegetarian (it takes large quantities of pancreatic enzymes to digest meat - these are the enzymes that dissolve the protein lining of the cancer cells which can then be killed by white blood cells) i.e. no meat, fish, and no dairy produce. See Should we be avoiding dairy?
Fresh vegetables and fruit - should be eaten raw if possible (cooking destroys enzymes). Cook lightly if necessary. Eat a wide variety, and eat the seed of the fruit e.g. apple pips, grape seeds, peach kernels. [Include foods known to have anti-cancer properties such as garlic, turmeric, cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and choose a variety of colours of anti-oxidant rich foods such as sweet potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, watercress, berries, grapes - see Patrick Holford Say No To Cancer (Piatkus, London 1999)].
Use whole foods, not refined. Organic if possible.
No caffeine. Herb teas OK. Fresh juices - vegetable as well as fruit. NB Keep a good intake of liquid. This helps in the detoxification process. Pure water is ideal
Cut out sugar (and honey) and don't substitute artificial sweeteners. Cancer cells live on sugar fermentation. Healthy cells use oxygen to release energy
Check on pH levels in the body.

Followed by less restricted diet to keep on for life:

After 4 months, if the patient is doing well, the diet is liberalised to include chicken, turkey and fish.
90% of the diet should be as above plus chicken, turkey and fish. The other 10% can be red meats and cooked vegetables.
Must always stay on vitamins, enzymes supplements and laetrile (1gm daily).

The importance of no dairy

Milk contains growth factors and hormones known to promote breast and prostate and other types of cancer. To be convinced that your body can ingest sufficient calcium without resorting to dairy products, and for ideas to substitute in your diet see her books Your Life In Your Hands (Virgin, London 2000) and Prostate Cancer (Virgin, London 2004). Plant is an eminent scientist and her first book contains detailed research together with her own story of fighting breast cancer five times. Prostate Cancer contains most recent research and refutes critics. Her motto is "Think non-dairy, live non-dairy"

Detoxing

Detoxing happens as part of the vitamin B17 and nutritional therapy. Other cancer therapies place more emphasis on this, with for example coffee enemas and juicing playing an important role. Consider a detox programme under the monitoring of a clinical nutritionist. You could consider ZNatural or Iodine. See Toxic crisis - coping with reactions.
