Cancer - Paavo Airola 'How to get Well' 1974

Cancer is a disease of civilization. It is the end result of health-

destroying living and eating habits, which result in a biochemical

imbalance and physical and chemical irritation of the tissues. In

addition to an abundance of carcinogens in today's food, water, air,

and environment, carcenogenic substances are also produced within the

body as a result of deranged metabolism. Many biological and

naturopathic doctors, both those who are active presently, as well as

many great pioneers of the past, notably Drs. Bircher-Benner, Duncan

Bulkley, A. Vogel, Max Gerson, e Nolfi, Ragnar Berg, Are

Waerland, Werner Zabel, J. H. Tilden, Alice Chase, to name a few,

believed that faulty diet can be a basic cause of cancer. Based on

their own extensive practice and by studying the eating habits of

cancer-free natives and peoples around the world, their conclusions

emphatically pointed to the fact that in addition to the well-known

environmental carcinogens, such as smoking, chemical poisons in foods

and environment, etc., the cancer incidence is in direct proportion

to the amount of animal proteins, particularly meat, in the diet.

Racial groups and nations whose diet contains less meat, show less

cancer incidence than groups consuming high-meat diets. Hospital

records show that Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons, and Navajo

Indians, who eat little or no meat, suffer far less from cancer than

the average meat-eating Americans. Recently, a link between excessive

meat-eating and cancer has been explained by Dr. Willard J. Visek,

research scientist at Cornell University. Dr. Visel says that the

high protein diet of Americans is linked to the high incidence of

cancer in the U.S. The villain, according to Dr. Visek, is ammonia,

the carcinogenic by-product of meat digestion.

Our actual daily protein requirement is only between 20 and 30 grams,

as shown by numerous studies around the world. Protein eaten in

excess of the actual need cannot be properly digested or utilized and

acts in the body as a poison and carcinogen. In addition,

overconsumption of protein taxes he pancreas and causes chronic

deficiency of pancreatic enzymes, which are required for proper

protein metabolism.

DIETARY CONSIDERATIONS

Therefore, the effective treatment for cancer must, in addition to

any other internal or external specifics used (such as Laetrile,

Tekarina, or Hydrazine Sulfate, for example), begin with total

elimination of the basic causes of cancer - elimination of all

environmental sources of carcinogens, such as smoking and

carcinogenic chemicals in air, water and food. In addition, a

complete change in diet is imperative. In the beginning, all animal

proteins must be eliminated. As condition improves some raw goat's

milk, raw egg yokes and soured milk products, such as yogert, keifer

or acidophilous milk, made from goat's milk, may be added to the

diet. The diet must be a 100% natural raw food diet, with emphasis on

raw fruits and vegetables, particularly red beets, plus a minimum

requirement of high quality proteins mostly from vegetable sources

such as almonds, buckwheat, millet, sesame seeds, and sprouted seeds

and grains. All foods must be natural, whole, unprocessed and

organically grown, without man-made chemicals of any kind.

Pureed asparagus, four tablespoons a day, has been reported to be an

effective addition to the anti-cancer diet.

Almonds, as a protein source, are particularly recommended. No

proteins should be consumed before 11 a.m. Breakfast should consist

of fresh fruits, fruit juices and herb teas. One pint of fresh or

soured goat's milk can be used daily, plus 2 raw egg yokes from fertile eggs

every second day. Lots of raw vegetables and fruit juices should be used daily.

Green juices, made from alfalfa, comfrey, wheat grass, beet tops, etc., are

excellent. (For a detailed description of the anti-cancer diet, see my book,

" Cancer: Causes, Prevention and Treatment - The TOTAL Approach " , ...

Anti-cancer diets should contain a generous amount of foods rich in

vitamins E and C and the trace mineral selenium - all natural

antioxidants, which can help prevent the chromosome damage caused by

carcinogens that leads to cancer.
