Any suggestions on natural foods recipes for cancer patients?

Hi Margoe, I'm so sorry to hear about your father. May I ask what kind of cancer he got? You know what, every time I hear the word cancer, what comes into my mind is always 'carrots'. I've read and heard that carrots are one of the best foods that fights cancer because it is very rich in beta-carotene. A friend told me a story one time about another friend of hers who was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. She scheduled to be operated. Days before the operation however, she ate nothing but veggies, mostly carrots, and she did not eat anything that has fat in it. When she went to the doctor again, they were very surprised that the cancer cells in her thyroid were gone! It was really amazing, she didn't have to go to surgery anymore, all because of the carrots. I guess for your father's case, you can introduce his foods little by little. Your salad sounds really delicious but I guess his stomach wasn't able to handle the mixture of so many foods in one. Also, I noticed that there were fruits in your salad. I think it's not a good idea to mix fruits with any other food because fruits are best eaten alone and on an empty stomach. Maybe you can give him a veggie or fruit one at a time, like a piece of apple for example. And then after a few minutes or a few hours, a piece of carrot, etc, etc. Try to observe how his stomach would react. Then, I would suggest not to give him anything fatty food, but I guess fish is okay, just make sure it's not fried. If anything, you can try and look for recipes in the internet or recipe books. I've seen this book one time which talks about herbal medicine. I think it's a very good book. Hope this helps and I hope you all well

She was a beautiful person by heart, a great interior designer, always cheerful, had a golden voice (opera type). But she didn't eat properly and under constant pressure, though never showed it. Cancer diseases are rising all over the world due to unhealthy life style, unhealthy environment, weather extreme, etc. Luckily nowadays there have been significant groundbreaking cancer cures but alternative (non medical) ones. My wife too is developing them (ovarium and chest), still on early stage. But she doesn't like doctors, so she is on homeopathic treatment (she's been in and out of hospital care since a toddler). She takes baking soda every day (Dr. Simoncini: http://www.healingcancernaturally.com/sodium-bicarbonate-treatment.html) and have faith in it. She also takes propolis (natural bee products), very effective. You might also want to check this website telling us that we can cure cancer naturally. It's a breakthrough that medical hates as it's much, much cheaper and effective: http://tinyurl.com/4ed8fty I'll pray and hope for your father's speedy recovery. Oh you can also request distance self healing (free) via REIKI by email. Check the website: http://freedistancehealing.net/healingrequest.html (My wife did that)

I somewhat understand the situation you're in. My mom suffered from cancer too and we opted for natural therapy but she was already in the terminal stage when her ailment was discovered and so the therapy didn't work anymore. However, my mom's fate may not be your dad's. As long as the person is still alive, there is always room for hope so don't stop praying. Try to give him small frequent servings. Raw veggies are energy-packed and initially the body may not tolerate it. In due time, it will so introduce it slowly but consistently. If he cant tolerate solids, you may give him fresh veg and fruit juices. There are affordable juicers in the appliance store. It is also your discretion to try out some natural food supplements that are known to fight cancer. You may use it in conjunction with his chemotherapy. My uncle who also underwent detox starts his day with fresh fruits only. At lunch he has his rice and vegan viand, then at night time, fruits again. IN between those meals, he drinks some fresh juices or just water. Your father is blessed to have you around. And you are blessed to have this opportunity to take care of him.

hello, I have a friend who is also an cancer patient. He is always given every morning a soursop (guyabano) fruit by his doctor. The soursop fruit is keep in the fridge the whole night and then taken out in the morning 30 minutes he has to eat a slice of it (just a small slice or enough to be consume by the patient) The doctor says that the fruit is good for cancer patient (and to everyone,to prevent cancer cells to spread) Sorry to hear about your dads condition. Have a great day

My friends have cancer patient the thing with cancer people is any food that nutritious to the patients is good for the cancer cells also hence special diet consideration required some patient has no mood to eat too. I think dietician can give food ideas and schedule.

If he can't eat try Ensure. It is a nutritional supplement that you drink. My dad was also very sick and couldn't eat he used to drink them. Hope your dad recovers. Take care.

I am sorry to hear about your father, and hope and pray he will overcome this. I hope you can figure out something to keep his food down. Can you consult with his doctor or nurse to see if there is something he can take when he eats so he will not vomit? I don't know if there is anything, but if there is, surely someone who treats cancer patients would know about it. My prayers are with you as well.
