Doctor Describes How to Reverse Serious Illness (inc. Cancer) Through Diet Changes (Ketosis) and Eliminating Sugar.

in #health7 years ago (edited)

Many often quote the idea that 'An Alkaline body cannot support cancer' - yet when we look back at the research that this originates from - it is from a Nobel Prize winner who actually didn't say that at all! Recently, I found a Doctor that agrees and is currently impressing me with his wealth of experience in using natural methods to heal serious illness - check him out.

The Nobel Prize winner was Otto Warburg and he specifically focused on oxygen/metabolism issues at the cellular level - including in relation to tumours. I was a bit confused when I began my own research into (other people's work on) cancer about 10 years ago because I kept finding people claiming that he proved that cancer cannot exist in an alkaline body, yet when I attempted to dig deeper, I would always find that his work made other conclusions, but not that one.

In any case, it is (to my understanding) a vegan diet that primarily creates an alkaline body and it is true that a vegan diet is particularly healthy and helpful for cancer patients - so the lifestyle choices that are advisable remain somewhat the same anyway.

Recently I have been listening a bit to Dr. Darren Schmidt who is a chiropracter who has focused on nutrition since 1998. My own experience in recent years has been that it is chiropracters who consistently are able to demonstrate the highest level of general knowledge regarding practical and successful healing of the body. This is due to them often having a non-drug approach, plus their training having typically involved many years of study of anatomy and nutrition - as compared to the fraction of that time which general medical doctors are given. By learning about the body and the biochemistry involved, rather than learning which drugs to give people - they are inherently closer to finding the REAL way to heal people, as opposed to just knowing how to suppress symptoms.

In this video, he describes the mechanism of acidosis and how to reverse it using nutritional changes, specifically by putting the body into a fat burning state called ketosis.

This information is of use to everyone, but particularly cancer patients, since when the body is in ketosis, the cancer cells starve, since they (unlike healthy cells) require sugar and cannot be sustained during the fat burning process of ketosis.

Thanks for another interesting post. I've been instinctively feeling that I need to cut out sugar for a while now and this was another good nudge in the right direction.

You are welcome - I spoke with Rob today and he mentioned your picture of a cute spider - did you post it here? :)
I think 'sugar' has so many possible forms that it might be almost impossible to totally cut out all sugars (and still eat) but at least we can gain the benefits of removing refined sugars and upping our intake of veg and other whole foods. I am inspired to do this too - I just need to do a bit more research into exactly how is best to do it.

Yes, that's about where I'm at and our body does need certain sugars. My plan is to investigate decent detox diets too. My parents do the grape cure regularly and find it very benefitial but very sweet of course!

I'm trying to get around to the spider post - it is really cute! Was hoping to do it tonight but kids still not in bed and washing up to do.....

Yes, detox is very useful in ending habits and a full water fast is even better - however, it requires much more dedication to go to completion and is something that really needs to be researched a lot first. I started with 'the master cleanse' which worked well for me. ;)

I've been fasting from sugar for a while. I feel that sugar affects my moods negatively. This is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.

You are welcome!
