what is the best diet for cancer?

Lou Ravelo: No diet will cure cancer, help to cure cancer or have any effect on the progress of cancer.

Ambrose Mumma: Dietary needs will vary for different types of cancers - and individual circumstances too - so I would consult your physician and regard my remarks as very general remarks...For bone cancer - if already being treated - it's important that you have enough calcium since the cancer and some treatments themselves tend to deplete one's calcium. Cheeses/Milk...found in a balanced diet. You, however, don't want too much calcium.Vitamin B's C''s can help if you are being depleted - but I would consult the physician. I always have this neg. pic. of someone loading up on lots of vitamins and actually making a problem worse...Minerals like Iron ie. a good diet of spinach and leafy veggies and fish/shellfish...can be beneficial.Low Fibre diets tend to reduce large bowel movements and can reduce diahrea problems...but after surgery one needs plenty of fluids an! d fruit ...This is not true of all cancers! Some cancer diets might want more fibre. In my case with Kidney issues I have to avoid 'spinach' and not get too much proteins or any rich foods that might affect/cause gout...or even a kidney stone... Diets do not cure . Some diets might help prevent cancer - but usually it's in a very indirect way ie. some cultures with high incidents of stomach cancer have diets rich in smoked foods...but even then it's a relatively tiny risk factor. A diet rich in fibre and watwer is generally good - but it's relationship to preventing cancer tends to an indirect one. I am always amazed by some folkswho will latch onto a simple dietary cure. I had a radical nephrechtomy...and spent $50 k on medical tx - and yet I have a relative who seems to think that what I really need is just to eat a sweet potato every day - and it will be that potato that cures my cancerVisit the American Cancer Society for Bone Cancer...and some googles......Show more
