It is important to realize as with any recommendation for healing it all begins with PH. The more alkaline your body is the better the environment for healing will be. A diet rich in animal products, processed foods and refined sugars will be a very acidic backdrop which will make the disease or inflammation thrive especially cancer. A diet rich in plant-based products will be on the alkaline side which cancer cells cannot even grow. ♥ We will be focusing on plants as this brings about a quicker healing process and regeneration of healthy thriving cells throughout the body.

Detox Diet
Foods to eat for a detoxification diet:
Liquids: Filtered water, herbal teas (detox teas are an option, and may include milk thistle, burdock root or dandelion to help the liver and kidneys), green tea, green drinks, (wheat grass, spirulina, chlorella). Fresh pressed vegetable juice (carrot, beet, celery, cucumber, cabbage, parsley, ginger, greens, etc), vegetable broth or dashi, aloe vera juice (for mild intestinal cleansing).
Nuts and seeds: Raw walnuts (first choice), pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, and nut butters made from these (nut butters should not have any added oils or sugars). Avoid peanuts if possible ♥ Roasting nuts or other cooking methods above 250 degrees F adds acrylamide, a known carcinogen.
Vegetables: 9 servings per day is ideal. Here are some ideas to include: broccoli, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, onion, daikon radish, burdock root, turnips, rutabaga, leeks, dark and leafy greens (kale, collards, mustard, turnip, or dandelion greens, bok choy, tatsoi, chicory, watercress, radicchio) and field greens (arugula, organic mesclun, romaine, red and green leaf lettuce). Other vegetables are mineral rich seaweed; carrots; beets; green, yellow and winter squash; sweet potatoes, parsnips.
Fruit: Seasonal fruits, organic whenever possible. In the temperate zones such as the Northeast, fruits should be non-tropical and non-citrus (except lemon and lime, which are very cleansing to the liver). Apples and pears -in season- are great cleansers.
Fats: Avocado, nuts, and flax seed oil, olive oil, for a daily dose of good fats and fatty acids. Don't heat flax seed.
Herbs and Spices: Cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, turmeric, star anise, fennel seed, dill, garlic, ginger, oregano, parsley, rosemary, tarragon, thyme, cilantro, sage, basil, marjoram and chives.
Foods to avoid:
Liquids: Soda, coffee, black tea, alcohol, milk. Soymilk should be omitted or consumed in very small quantity. Pasteurized and processed Fruit juices should be consumed in limited quantity or not at all, and restricted to unsweetened cranberry juice and fresh pressed juices.
Dairy: Omit completely.
Grains and breads: Omit all white bread, white flour, white rice, wheat, and all grain and flour containing gluten. These include barley, bulgur, couscous, durum, farina, graham flour, kamut, matzo, rye, seitan, semolina, spelt, and triticale. The jury is out on oats, as they sometimes irritate gluten sensitivity. Corn is also a very common allergen, so cornmeal, corn cereals, grits etc should be eliminated temporarily.
Protein: Soy products should be avoided, and reintroduced only in fermented form. Other soy products are excessively processed. Seitan (which is gluten) should be eliminated. Do not eat any animal products. If you must consume dead animals, restrict consumption to very small amounts of free range and organic beef, lamb, pork, turkey and chicken and eggs. (Keep in mind that in Europe a serving of meat is 3-4 ounces). Cold cuts, processed sausages, canned meat, shellfish, farmed non-organic salmon, large predatory and deep sea fish (such as marlin, shark, dolphin, tuna, swordfish, mahi mahi) should be avoided.
