Grassfed red meat generously endowed with fat is a great way to beat cancer, and wild caught (not farmed) seafood and shellfish, roe, caviar, and eggs of all types are wonderful foods, especially when eaten with complementary foods such as lots of butter, cream cheese, sour cream, Crème fraiche, mascarpone, or triple cream brie!

NO!!!! Canola is not a good oil! It is only marginally edible and contains trans fats. Flaxseed oil should be eaten only from fresh-ground flax, because it goes rancid so rapidly that it becomes carcinogenic by the time you can buy it in the bottle. Furthermore, anti-cancer diets are NOT plant based!!!

Cancer results from deep deficiencies combined with high toxicity levels. Plant foods may help decrease toxicities, but they do not nourish deeply, as cancer requires.

Good fats are the least-processed oils of coconuts, palm seeds, or olives, but better yet, these healing nourishing fats from organic pastured animals: butter, lard, tallow, good and duck fat, chicken fat, and fat from lamb or wild meats from clean areas. A wonderful superfood that is rich in nourishing fats is fermented cod liver oil. There are many types on the market, but the fermented is the only authentic cod liver oil containing the essential fatty acids, fat soluble vitamins, and other nutrients that are fundamental to fighting cancer.

For toxicity, fiber is not a good choice, as it tends to damage the gut and actually lengthen the amount of time it takes for waste to move out of the body. The critical thing for detoxification is a healthy gut flora, which means that most fruits and vegetables should be eaten fermented, and a high-quality probiotic such as Bio-Kult should be taken. Raw, full-fat milk and fermented dairy products are ideal for their probiotic and nutrient-rich properties, which support and enhance the immune system.

A key mineral for cancer is iodine, which can be taken in the form of Lugol's solution, or Iodoral, a tablet equivalent to Lugol's. Iodine clears out toxic mercury, fluoride, bromide, and radioactive forms of iodine, all of which cause cancer. When you have enough iodine, It binds with fats in the body (if you are eating a diet high in saturated fats!) to create substances that support apoptosis, which prevent and reverse cancer.

Other key minerals are selenium, magnesium, and potassium, but mineral needs are very individual. It's important to work with a good nutritional therapist, but good ones are hard to find.
