I do not believe that using hemp oil, eating cruciferous vegetables, herbs, and strong spices like turmeric is going to prevent cancer or treat it. My mother ate a lot of cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, brussel sprouts, cabbage, collard green, and cauliflour and still got cancer and died from it. Eating cruciferous vegatles and strong spices like turmeric and hemp oil might reduce the risk from getting cancer, definitely not stop it.
I’m sorry, but your statement is simply not correct. Your mother may have eaten those things, but had other deficiencies which were never addressed. You can go on YouTube and see video after video of people who were cured of cancer through eating these vegetables and herbs along with the proper supplementation, exercise, elimination of all animal proteins and sugar, plenty of pure/non-fluoridated water, and lots of sunshine.
Lisa, I am kind of optimistic about those natural remedies, but it is my father and my sister who is a doctor who do not believe me. When I emailed those videos from YouTube in curing terminal cancer with natural remedies, they just do not want to watch them. They told me, if I ever develop cancer, I have to go through conventional treatment which I do not want to do. I definitely do not want to do chemotherapy and radiation therapy, because I am afraid to lose my hair. Chemotherapy and radiation therapy are just toxic to the body anyway. My mother had extreme high levels of estrogen which caused her to have breast cancer. When she took the tamoxifan for five years from 1994-1999, her periods just came every two months instead of stopping like she hit the menopause from age 47 to 52. When my mother finished the tamoxifan in 1999 at age 52, her periods just came regularly every month. She was still having her periods even at 55 and 56, because her ovaries were producing too much estrogen that caused her to have breast cancer. She was exposed to tons of DDT, when she was a girl in Brazil from age 5 to 18. My grandmother use to put tons of DDT in my mother’s mattress, because she was afraid of flees in the bed. My mother studied chemistry in high school and at university as a young girl and she was exposed to tons of chemicals, because she did a lot of lab work. Even when my mother ran marathons in her 30s, her periods would come regularly at 26, 27, or 28 days, instead of missing months not having her periods. My mother was also very fat when she was a little girl from 9 to 14. At 13, she was 5’6 and weighed 180 pounds which was very fat for quite a young girl like that. I really do not know how my mother got breast cancer. I am not a doctor.
IN MY OPINION ONLY…..
The First and Most Important thing to do if you have developed cancer is to Properly Cleanse and Detox your body.
Be Careful… Lots of snake oil products on the market. Take your time deciding which methods and products to use.
Second would be, Only use Absolutely Clean Drinking/Cooking water. No bottled water.
A Quality Reverse Osmosis system is one of the best.
Service it correctly as needed.
Also consider a Shower Filter … Remember your Skin is your Largest Organ.
Hot showers open the pores and let the toxic poisons in.
You also breath in the Chlorine gases when the water is heated.
Third would be to use as much Organic, Non GMO foods as possible.
That would also mean .. eat as much Raw unheated or cooked foods as possible including live sprouts..
Heating destroys the Live Enzymes.
Drastically reduce Sugar intake from all sources.
Drastically reduce Red Meat. Switch to Organic Turkey and Chicken.. preferably skinless.
Absolutely NO “FARMED FISH OR SHRIMP”.
Use only Organic Eggs.
Reduce Dairy Products, Especially Cows Milk and Processed cheeses and others.
Look on Alternative Milk cartons for the additive “Carrageenan” and Do Not Use if it has been added.
Use only Himalayan Salt. Available in a small granular form.
If you want to continue using Butter then use Only Organic and preferably w/out salt added.
Fourth would be as a minimum: Add Curcumin, Quercetin, Resveratrol, Iodine, Selenium, Essiac Tea or capsules, Vitamins D3, E, C, B Complex.
Add a Small Rebounder to your protocol and use it 10-15minutes every other day.
Pumps the Lymph fluids and helps Detox your whole body.
Use Infar Red Sauna for 1 hour sessions as often as 2 times a week during critical times. Excellent Detoxing and clears the mind as well as relaxes the whole body.
Change the Cabin Filter on your car or truck. Most newer cars have one but most people do not know that nor do they service it properly. It can drastically reduce the poisons coming into your car every day from exhaust emissions.
There is a way to switch from outside air to inside air on your heater controls. Turn the outside air off when in a polluted environment like downtown traffic driving or diesel fumes etc.
The is much more you can do that I have not included here but this would go a long way to getting started.

Jim, I much rather follow your advice, if I ever develop cancer than do conventional treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy that are toxic to your body anyway and just cause more cancer. I do not care much for red meat or cows milk. I barely use any salt or butter anyway. The only problem with organic food is that it is rather expensive. Are these procedures that you are giving are suppose to be good for your body?
How do you stop your body from producing too much estrogen naturally?
Sylvia, It is your belief that will make your reality. I will leave it at that. The recipe is superb! Thank you for posting it.
I heard that eating maca is supposed to be good for estrogen levels. I do not know. I am not a doctor. The problem these days, people put a lot of hormones in milk and eggs which is not good for estrogen levels. People also spray all kinds of pesticides and herbicides on fruits and vegetables. Even if the food says ‘organic’ at a superstore, I do not know that it is true. I cannot take seriously, when a food is just called ‘organic’. Maybe the food is organic. How can you possibly prove it?
I got maca at Whole Foods, it was a large round plastic can of powder and now it’s three years old….got home read the label said “this product contains chemicals known to cause cancer”….such a well known special company made it….
Silvia,
Re-Read the first line of my message again. If you have Cancer then Yes… This information is Very Important and Informative.
Organic food is not a Problem, but it can be an issue for those that cannot afford it or do not appreciate it’s True Value.
If you do not know how to safely Identify most Organic foods then you need to take the time to learn some fairly simple methods.
For example … On fruit …Look at the small round label and observe the 5 digit number. If it starts with a 9 then it is Certified Organic.
Look for the Official Organic and GMO Label on packaged foods to verify it is legit.
You should also be more informed on issues like Non GMO food Products. Organic and Non GMO go hand in hand on much of the Labeling.
I think you are making a big mistake in your low sodium intake. The only issue is using the Right product. Refined table salt is Poison in my opinion. Most of the processed foods have Poison Sodium in them.
Himalayan Salt Granules is the answer and you should use it every day on your food, and I also put it in my water to drink daily.
Put 1 teaspoon per gallon in your drinking/cooking water. Your body will Reward you, just don’t overdo.
My point is that Fighting Cancer is far more then just changing your diet. You need an Army of things to Battle it and Food is only One
Jim.
If I ever get cancer, I will pay close attention to the 5 digit number which starts with 9 indicating that it is Certified Organic. Where can you get Himalayan salt available? Which superstore has it? I do not want to order anything from the Internet, because there are too many scams around. I live in Ottawa, Canada. What does the 1 teaspoon of salt in your water do for you? Does it make you healthier? Does it cure people from all diseases?
Silvia,
First: I am not sure if the 5 digit number on the labels is on the fruit in Canada. I live in the US. You will have to check it out.
Second: No … Himalayan salt does not claim to cure all diseases but It is a Valuable tool in good health. It is Very High in TRACE MINERALS. that many plant based foods are woefully deficient in because of depletion in the growing soils from over production and harvesting.
So … It is good for you. Not like Poison table salt.
Look for HimalaSalt in your local health food stores. Some carry it and some do not. Pay attention to my spelling of the product.
They have a direct web site also. I use the 6oz, size.
Put some water in a 1/2 or 1 gallon container and then add the salt. Finish filling the container with water and then shake it well before using the first time. This amount of salt will not make the water taste salty.
I use 1/2 gallon containers as they are a little easier to lift and pour out of.
1 Teaspoon to 1 Gallon is the formula.
It will also help you hydrate you body better then just plain water.
Jim
Silvia and all other readers,
This is a “Correction” for the Himala Salt formula for mixing in your drinking/cooking water.
It should be as follows.
I Use 1/2 Teaspoon.. per Gallon of water Not 1 Teaspoon.
Please make Note of this Correction.
I use 3 different substances daily that require a special formula and miss spoke on the salt.

Thank you for your helpful comments!
I’m a nurse, I would want to do these things before I got cancer to prevent it if possible! Hard to buy organic foods.
What about rice with organic protein in them? This would have to be whole grain brown rice, does it need to be organic rice? There are not a lot of foods that we can eat
Esp if your not fond of vegetables? What do you recommend eatting daily that a family can afford?
Do potatoes and beans need to be organic?
Sharon, i read somewhere where it was mentioned if we can get or can afford organic of course it is better. It put less stress on the liver and the kidney having to get rid of the pesticides or chemical from the food we take. But anyway may try the recipe.
Sharon,
You are your own judge when it comes to personal decisions.
I eat only Organic where possible.
That includes Eggs, Chicken and Turkey. I eat only Alaska fresh native salmon and some bottom fish.
Most bottom dwellers are too polluted for safely eating including crabs, clams oysters etc. Depends on where they are harvested.
How much poison do you want to eat ??
Answer …. As little as possible.
Most everything has some Value and in my case my Health is at the top of the list.
Rice including Organic can be loaded with Arsenic from the soil. Keep it to a minimum.
Try to make your diet at least 60% Raw and unaltered natural foods.
Once you heat or cook raw foods you lose the valuable live Enzymes. It is then .. Dead Food.
Jim
Hello Jim,
Would you be willing to correspond with me privately. I would love to get your personal and specific opinion/recommendations on treating cancer.
Thanks
Jo
Sylvia,
I have been reading your posts. I have been juicing and eating organic foods for close to fort years. Go to your local farmers market. What you put in your body over time has a direct impact on your health. Cancer is 5percent genetics and 25 percent lifestyle. Cancer also gets it’s energy from sugar. I was told by my mentor Jack LaLanne if man made it don,t eat it.Also western Dr. don’t get more than a few weeks weeks of nutrition in medical school. They are trained to prescribe drugs. NO one can make you do conventional therapies unless you are a minor. Be strong make the necessary lifestyle changes and you will be fine.
Oops ..I meant 5 percent and 95percent on above post.
Mary, when I watched the documentary on ‘The Truth About Cancer’, I have heard that the doctors studied very little nutrition in med school. They have been told to offer cancer patients conventional therapies and drugs that are even more toxic to the body and cause even more cancer.
Hi Silvia – Many grocery stores now carry Himalayan pink salt or Celtic salt. It isn’t hard to find either one. Both are an excellent source of dozens of trace elements we all need every day, not found in typical processed table salt. Quality salt enhances nutrient absorption. Get some and use religiously.
If the thyroid isn’t working properly to keep the youth hormones of progesterone and testosterone up, then estrogen takes over. So I believe key is to keep the thyroid in superb working condition.
