PART 5: THREE DAYS OF CANCER FIGHTING FOODS

I know many of you have heard of the “3-Day Walk for Breast Cancer” also known simply as “The 3-Day.” Well, this is my own “3-Day”: The 3 Day ’Eat’ for the Cure!” When I was fighting my cancer I tried excessively hard to eat ONLY foods that had cancer fighting abilities. It became obvious to me that the foods that DO fight cancer are the ones we don’t eat much of.

Eating to BEAT cancer was a huge wake up call. I had to tune in to foods that I had never eaten before or had eaten and decided didn’t taste so great, for EVERY MEAL OF THE DAY. There were days that I would stare into the open fridge and shut it several times before finally deciding on something to chew on. This experience inspired today’s post, designed for anyone who is eating a raw-vegan diet along with other alternative therapies to beat their cancer.

 

For those of you using alternative protocols to fight your cancer, look very few other places for meal ideas. I’ve been there, done that, and this will be really helpful for you. When I started my cancer protocol, I didn’t even know what most of the food I was supposed to eat even looked like!

So, enjoy this meal rotation. Don’t expect it to taste good, but DO expect and believe it will help beat your cancer. I did and still do.

Beating cancer holistically is about more than eating a cancer fighting diet. Go back and read my past 4 posts from this series to get the big picture:
