Dietary
Healing
in
Cancer
and
Chronic
Degenerative
Disease
The
main
thrust
of
a
dietary
healing
program
is
to
restore
intracellular
potassium
and
oxidative
metabolism
within
the
cell.
When
tissues
lose
their
oxidative
capacity
or
have
been
subject
to
infectious,
chemical
or
physical
insult
trauma,
we
see
a
build-up
of
acidity
and
a
loss
of
intracellular
potassium.
Sodium,
water
and
toxins
enter
the
cells
-
commonly
termed
the
"Tissue
Damage
Syndrome"
and
as
sodium
is
a
potent
enzyme
inhibitor
it
will
contribute
to
the
rising
acidity.
Under
these
circumstances
oxygen
will
not
be
able
to
enter
the
cell
and
the
cell
will
fall
into
fermentation.
This
heralds
the
onset
of
disease.
Dietary
healing
protocols
based
on
high
vegetable/low
protein
regimes
have
been
used
throughout
the
centuries
to
promote
healing.
They
not
only
reduce
the
daily
burden,
but
their
alkaline
contribution
counteracts
acidity
and
stimulates
the
cellular
uptake
of
potassium.
Once
this
occurs
oxidation
is
re-established
and
sodium
along
with
toxicity
and
excess
water
is
drained
from
the
tissues.
Then
the
healing
commences.
Increasing
Cellular
Oxidation
Although
there
has
been
plenty
of
observational
evidence
of
the
healing
potential
of
such
diets,
it
was
not
until
the
second
half
of
the
20th
century
that
we
have
been
able
to
scientifically
prove
this.
With
the
development
of
NMRI
(nuclear
magnetic
resonance
imaging)
we
can
now
measure
the
electrical
state
of
the
cell.
In
the
early
1960s,
Gilbert
Ling
(biophysicist
-
won
the
Boxer
award
in
Biology
1940,
invented
the
intracellular
micro-electrode,
head
of
molecular
biology
Lab
of
Pennsylvania
hospital
in
Philadelphia)
advanced
his
Association-Induction
theory.
He
identified
the
cell
as
being
a
solid-state
electronic
device.
He
maintained
that
when
potassium
was
present
and
bound
at
specific
sites
within
the
cell,
an
electrical
field
was
generated
which
caused
a
structuring
of
water
and
an
expulsion
of
sodium
and
toxins
from
the
cell.
This
model
was
tested
and
proved
by Damadian
(Presidential
medal
of
honour
for
science
and
discovery
in
NMRI)
and
Freeman
Cope
MD
(Chief
of
Biochemistry
of
the
Naval
Air
Development
Centre,
Pennsylvania,
USA),
who
showed
that
this
structuring
did
indeed
exist,
and
that
bombarding
cells
with
large
amounts
of
potassium
encouraged
its
uptake,
led
to
the
recovery
of
its
electrical
state
and
hence
the
restoration
of
cellular
oxidation
and
energy
production.
It
is
now
recognised
that
any
toxic
insult,
trauma
or
oxygen
deprivation
to
the
tissues
causes
the
tissue
damage
syndrome
where
potassium
is
lost
and
sodium
and
water
gain
entry.
It
is
critical
that
this
process
is
reversed
to
restore
the
function
of
the
tissues.
On
a
dietary
healing
program
it
is
often
necessary
to
add
additional
potassium
to
the
already
high
potassium
diet.
The
specific
blend
of
potassium
salts
not
only
increases
the
hourly
bombardment
of
potassium
to
the
cells
but
contributes
to
the
alkaline
reserves
within
the
cells.
It
is
the
rising
alkalinity
which
neutralizes
the
acidity
and
draws
oxygen
into
the
cell.
An
acidic
cell
will
repel
oxygen.
In
addition
to
application
of
the
potassium
compound,
we
may
need
to
further
increase
the
free
energy
and
oxidizing
capacity
of
the
cell.
Invariably
patients
with
chronic
degenerative
disease
have
low
thyroid
function
and
therefore
glandular
thyroid
and
Lugols
½
strength
solution
may
be
applied.
These
products
increase
energy
production
by
signaling
cellular
mitochondria
to
replicate
and
increase
cellular
oxidation
of
sugar
to
generate
ATP.
CoQ10
may
also
be
recommended
to
enhance
oxidative
capacity.
Protein
restriction
Studies
conducted
since
the
1950s
and
to
the
current
day,
have
repeatedly
shown
that
calorie
and
protein
restricted
diets
cause
a
regression
of
tumours
and
remission
of
auto-immune
disease.
It
has
been
observed
since
the
1930's
that
protein
restriction
enhances
the
T
cell
count
of
the
immune
system
and
hence
immunity
specifically
against
tumour
tissue.
More
recently
the
work
of
Dr.
Robert
Good
(the
most
published
pathologist
in
Western
medical
literature)
noticed
that
malnourished
children,
deficient
in
protein
and
calories,
had
a
disturbed
immune
profile.
Subsequent
studies
on
animals
showed
that
protein
and
calorie
restriction
in
animals
produced
increased
T
cell
activity
and
depressed
B
cell
activity.
Specifically,
mice
genetically
predisposed
to
developing
mammary
tumours,
on
a
protein
and
calorie
restricted
diet
did
not
go
on
to
develop
tumours
and
even
if
the
cancer
was
allowed
to
develop
it
could
be
regressed
by
initiating
protein
and
calorie
restriction.
This
obviously
has
very
important
ramifications
for
both
enhancing
the
immune
system
in
cancer
and
subduing
its
effects
in
auto-immune
disease.
Protein
restriction
has
a
synergistic
effect
on
the
elimination
of
sodium
and
toxins
from
the
body.
Protein
yields
strong
acids
which
are
only
slowly
removed
from
the
body,
being
buffered
by
the
cells
for
around
7
days.
Elimination
of
these
the
acids
via
the
kidneys
occurs
in
exchange
for
sodium.
So
if
dietary
protein
remains
above
an
acceptable
level
for
healing,
then
sodium
is
retained
and
healing
will
not
occur.
Additionally,
tumours
do
not
handle
protein
well.
They
do
not
metabolise
protein,
instead
producing
toxins
from
the
protein
that
seep
into
the
surrounding
environment
causing
local
trauma
(toxicity)
to
the
adjacent
healthy
tissue.
The
oedema
increases
around
the
tumour
"protecting"
it
from
the
immune
system
and
the
adjacent
tissue
becomes
susceptible
to
invasion/metastases.
Fat
restriction
Fat
is
restricted,
particularly
on
the
cancer
program.
Fat
feeds
tumours,
and
even
low
fat
products
can
mad
tumours
reappear.
However,
limited
amounts
of
flaxseed
oil
are
allowed.
Pancreatic
enzymes
Pancreatic
enzymes
not
only
assist
the
digestion
(imperative
on
a
nutritional
therapy)
but
are
known
to
debaulk
tumour
tissue
within
the
system.
The
living
enzymes
in
the
raw
juices
also
contribute
to
this.
Toxicity
and
the
coffee
enema
On
any
detoxification
protocol
serum
toxicity
will
be
increased.
Added
to
this,
the
patient
with
a
chronic
disease
or
cancer,
may
be
unable
to
effectively
deal
with
the
waves
of
toxicity
as
liver
capacity
is
invariably
impaired.
It
is
therefore
critical
that
the
liver
is
supported
at
regular
intervals,
and
the
coffee
enema
is
routinely
recommended.
Patients
can
worsen
if
adequate
steps
are
not
taken
to
support
the
liver
and
the
liver
may
become
more
damaged.
This
is
particularly
pertinent
nowadays
when
treating
patients
who
have
either
undergone
chemotherapy
or
been
exposed
to
environmental
chemicals,
as
the
toxic
effects
of
releasing
these
can
be
quite
dangerous
if
the
liver
is
pushed
too
hard.
Medications
and
the
pace
of
the
therapy
is
monitored
closely
to
take
this
into
account.
Research
on
the
coffee
enema
dates
back
to
the
1930s
when
it
was
beginning
to
be
routinely
applied
for
pain
management.
Experiments
undertaken
by
Heubner
and
Meyer
at
the
Gottenberg
university,
on
the
rectal
administration
of
caffeine
in
animals
showed
that
it
caused
the
dilatation
of
bile
ducts
and
an
increased
flow
of
bile
for
elimination.
In
1970s
and
80s
further
research
by
Wattenberg
identified
in
mice
experiments
that
the
palmitates
extracted
from
coffee
increased
the
glutathione
S
transferase
system
-
an
enzyme
system
responsible
for
detoxifying
carcinogens
and
free-radicals
in
the
liver
and
small
intestine.
Its
activity
was
increased
600%
in
the
liver
and
700%
in
the
small
intestine.
This
is
critical
for
the
removal
of
serum
toxins
and
to
facilitate
the
removal
of
toxic
cancer
breakdown
products
(ammonia,
toxic
bound
nitrogen
-
protein
derivatives).
In
addition
Dr.
Peter
Lechner
(Graz,
Austria)
has
undertaken
a
6
year
program
on
post-operative
patients
suffering
with
liver
metastasised
colorectal
cancer
with
positive
results
with
coffee
enemas.

coffee
enema)
Caffeine, theobromine
and
theophylline
dilate
bile
ducts
and
causes
increased
bile
flow
(also
counteract
inflammation
in
the
gut).
Choleretic.
Palmitates
increase
glutathione
S
transferase.
This
increases
the
conjugation
of
toxic
elements
and
delivery
to
the
bile
for
elimination.
Essential
in
detoxifying.
Bile
is
normally
reabsorbed
9-10
times
before
making
its
way
out
via
the
colon.
However,
the
enzyme
enhancing
ability
of
the
coffee
in
the
liver
and
small
intestine
does
not
allow
re-absorption
of
the
toxic
bile.
Most
cholerectic
agents
do
not
ensure
removal
of
toxins
-
only
increase
the
bile
flow.
The litre
of
fluid
dilutes
the
portal
blood
and
the
bile
and
causes
a
flushing
of
toxic
bile.
It
also
encourages
a
peristalsis
which
ensures
the
transit
of
toxic
bile
from
the
duodenum
to
the
outside.
15 mins
retention
-
ensures
the
cleansing
of
the
blood
five
times.
The
whole
blood
volume
passes
through
the
liver
every
3
minutes.
Generally
speaking,
the
greater
the
toxicity
and
during
periods
of
flare-up
or
when
the
body
is
reabsorbing
malignancies
(necrotic
tissue
in
the
blood
stream),
then
you
need
to
apply
frequent
enemas
to
enable
the
body
to
clear
the
toxicity.
It
relieves
pain
(90%
of
patients),
depression,
confusion
and
nervous
tension.
Pain
is
often
caused
by
circulating
toxins
irritating
the
nervous
system.
These
toxins
can
also
set
up
an
inflammatory
response.
Patients
who
have
not
undergone
chemotherapy
are
also
required
to
take
a
castor
oil
treatment
(castor
oil
by
mouth
and
by
enema)
as
this
has
an
even
stronger
releasing
effect
of
toxicity
from
the
liver.
