Nutrient-dense foods

Replenish depleted nutrient stores from eating excess refined foods over time.

SUPERFOODS

Eat superfoods often as possible. Make and eat/drink bone broth and liver regularly (recipe here). Make sauerkraut (recipe here) and eat it daily (1/4 cup), especially with breakfast to aid in gastrointestinal motility & eliminations.

PROTEIN

Protein helps to heal the gut lining (amino acids are the building blocks).

MEDICINAL MUSHROOMS

Such as reishi, shiitake, and maitake counter the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation (in food or extract form).

ANTIOXIDANT-RICH FOODS

Eat deeply colored foods like leafy greens, berries, and sweet potatoes.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Manage stress to keep systemic inflammation low. Develop a guided meditation practice, or begin to practice Qi Gong. Practice meditation, biofeedback, Tai Chi, and/or guided imagery for deep relaxation.

SLEEP

Melatonin production while asleep in a dark room overnight is a potent antioxidant necessary to recharge and power your immune system.

MOVEMENT

Take walks outside, or practice gentle yoga for movement without systemic stress.

GLUTEN

100% of the time. See here the “Guide to Gluten”.

DAIRY

Avoid for its potential growth-promotion effects. (Butter and ghee are okay.)

RESTAURANTS/DINING OUT

Avoid damaged and man-made fats. (This applies to everyone but is especially critical for people with these conditions.)

REFINED FOODS, SWEETENERS, CAFFEINE

Cancer cells feed on sugar; they have about eight times the receptors for sugar as normal cells. Eat only nutrient-dense carbohydrates in the form of vegetables and fruits.

ALCOHOL, TOBACCO, NICOTINE & MSG (MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE)

These are products that require detoxification and/or may have some neurotoxic effects.
