This blog post is my own personal view point and my own opinion. Which I’m allowed to have…. I did the research and it is my personal blog. When you research nutrition for prevention of chronic disease it has many redeeming qualities. However, when it comes to treatment is macrobiotic diets…. are they really that effective.
When you look at chemotherapy and radiation being counter productive while producing carcinogenic toxins killing good and bad cells. That also causes secondary cancers, therefore, is chemotherapy and radiation really the way to go. Some cancer patients question it’s ability to heal when while going through chemotherapy, bacteria on fruit consumed can also lead to a deadly bacterial infection.
When your dealing with chemotherapy and all the negative side effects that goes along with it. The cancer patient is often caught between a rock and hard place. With lowering blood counts that often restored after chemo you still have your setbacks during treatment. Often white blood cells drop, neutropenia often causing fever, chills, coughing, oral thrush/sore throats, using Colgate Total and it’s anti fungal properties for good oral hygiene. With burning during urinating and severe diarrhea/constipation frequent (1000mg of Milk Thistle can be used for chemo liver damage.)
To compound the problem even further red blood cells can lower to the point of anemia causing increased tiredness, fatigue, shortness of breath. and chest pains which often bee pollen can help. With diminished platelet counts, thrombocytopenia can occur with easy bruising, bleeding from the skin, urine and stool self evident with severe head aches being normal. Therefore one should understand what to expect to alleviate some or most of the side effects.
As I research the Macrobiotic Diet for a cancer cure, listen also read the differing viewpoints. The cases that peeked my interest the most are X – Memphis BBQ King Chris Wark, researching his own answer to cancer, Kris Carr whom became popular writing books, Suzanne Somers with her own blog debating the trials & tribulations and Cleveland’s own Janet Hick whom was mentor by Macrobiotic Expert Francois Roland.
When I write macrobiotic diet I’m not stating a carrot stick, celery stalk for dinner and supper. In Chris Wark’s case it was a hardcore fight for his life with eight 8 ounce veggie juices daily. Combined with a giant salad twice @ day (including broccoli, cauliflower, kale, spinach, onions, peppers and mushrooms topped with an olive oil/apple cider vinegar dressing.) With garlic, oregano, cayenne pepper, turmeric seasoning with a blend smoothie for desert of baby coconut, banana, with a mixture of berries.
While Liana Werner – Gray whom some consider an imposter growing up in the Outback of Australia (Alice Springs ~ Northern Territory.) Amongst the indigenous aboriginal tribe communities. Living off the land without technology and instead harvesting what earth provides naturally. While coming down with a precancerous tumour in her lymphatic system after moving to the city and becoming a junk food addict of refine sugar.
In the five cases above we talk about over dosing on phytonutrients (raw food) known to kill cancer cells. When you over dose in this manner it performs aggressive detoxification throwing your body into a ketosis, thereby, burning fat cells and the toxins stored in them for energy. While producing a healing state putting your body in a cleansing state.
So in a sense… what difference is it if you go through chemotherapy with it’s sometimes harsh side effects that can disseminate your immune system. Or decide to go through an aggressive detoxification that heals the body by kicking toxins out thereby producing a healing pathway. However, it would be counter productive and you can’t decide both ways it’s one or the other. If you would do both with the macrobiotic diet kicking out toxins it would also render the chemotherapy ineffective.
