It
never ceases to amaze me how often conventional doctors fail to address
the correlation between food and cancer prevention and treatment. Your
diet can not only cause cancer, but it could also prevent or cure you
from cancer. Meat, dairy, refined sugar, and processed foods are all
known to increase one’s risk of cancer, and all of these are considered
acid-forming foods. Cancer is a systemic, metabolic disease that forms
as a result of nutrient deficiencies, high amounts of toxins, and
usually a pH level that’s too low, meaning the body is too acidic. In
order to neutralize the constant acid generation, we need to supply the
body with more alkaline foods. An alkaline diet may be your best defence
against cancer.
The Relationship Between Blood pH and Cancer
Our pH is measured on a scale ranging
from 0-14 with 0 being the most acidic and 14 being the most alkaline.
In order to transport oxygen throughout the body, our blood needs to
maintain a pH level of approximately 7.35. Even though our bodies store
excess alkaline reserves to buffer acids, if you’re eating a
conventional diet filled with pesticides and processed foods, your
reserve has likely depleted.
As Keiichi Morishita explains in his book Hidden Truth of Cancer, as your
blood pH becomes too acidic, your body will move the acidic substances
from the blood to your cells, allowing the blood to return to a pH level
of 7.35. As a result, these cells will become too acidic and in some
cases, die. The cells that survive become abnormal cells that cannot
correspond with your brain or DNA memory code, typically referred to as
“malignant” cells, which will continuously grow. These are cancerous (source).
While lowering cancer cell pH
(increasing acidity) is effective against cancer cell mitosis in the
lab, increasing acid levels in the live body of a cancer patient puts
stress on normal cells and causes a lot of pain. So the proposed
alkaline therapy for people is a “high pH therapy” and has been
developed to normalize the intracellular pH of the cancer patient’s body
through elimination of latent acidosis, while increasing the pH of
cancer cells to a range above 7.5. According to published research, it
is at that pH they revert to a normal cellular apoptosis cycle
(programmed cell death). (source)
Ideally, this approach begins with an
alkaline diet. There is general agreement amongst natural healers and
medical professionals that changing a cancer patient’s diet is extremely
helpful when someone is confronted with a cancer diagnosis.
The principles of pH therapy are very
simple, according to many. The metabolism of cancer cells does have a
very narrow pH tolerance for cellular proliferation ( between 6.5 and
7.5). If you can interfere with cancer cell metabolism by either
lowering or raising the internal cancer cell pH, you can theoretically
stop cancer progression. (source)
Regardless of whether or not you
actually have cancer, an alkaline diet is optimal for your bodily
health. In general, the 80/20 rule is believed to be ideal: 80% alkaline
foods and 20% acidic.
What an Alkaline Diet Looks Like
As the Journal of Environmental and Public Health explains, foods can be categorized as either alkaline or acidic according to their “potential renal acid loads”
(PRALs). For example, fruits, vegetables, juices, and other alkaline
rich foods have negative PRALs; however, grains, meats, dairy products,
fish, and other acidic foods have higher PRALs. To maintain ideal pH,
your diet should be comprised of organic leafy greens, herbs and spices,
root vegetables, onions, garlic, leek and chives, broccoli, cauliflower
and cabbages, beans, lentils, peas, and nuts and seeds, combined with
minimal gluten-free grains such as rice.
Here are some suggestions to help you improve your alkalinity:
- Check your pH regularly
- Drink more water (alkaline water, if possible)
- Remove acidic foods
- Convert to a vegan or more plant-based diet
- Replace a traditional lunch with a large green salad
- Use lettuce leaves and collard greens as wraps
- Don’t consume processed foods
- Eliminate soda, sugars, and coffee, and replace them with herbal tea, herbal coffee, and green drinks
- Replace dairy milk with non-dairy milks such as coconut, hemp, or almond milk
- Add green juices and smoothies to your diet (source)

Why Removing Dairy, Meat, and Sugar From Your Diet is Crucial for Cancer Prevention and Treatment
It’s no secret that eliminating meat
and dairy products — both of which are categorized as acidic foods —
reduces your risk of cancer. The American Institute for Cancer Research
(AICR) has published multiple studies on the relationship between diet
and cancer prevention, one of which determined that red meat
and processed meat consumption increase cancer risk (source). Another study
compared the blood from those who maintain a vegan diet to those who
follow a standard American diet and concluded that a vegan diet was more
effective at stopping cancer cell growth (read our article about it here). Studies have also shown that dairy products can increase one’s risk of developing prostate cancer by 30-50% (source).The China Study, performed by Dr. T. Colin Campbell, proved that casein, the main protein in dairy products, is a known carcinogen.
Cancer literally feeds off of animal protein and sugar, and numerous studies have
demonstrated the link between sugar consumption and cancer growth. For
example, Nobel prize-winning scientist Otto Warburg proved that instead
of using oxygen, cancer cells use a method of cell respiration called
glycolysis, which is the fermentation of glucose (a form of sugar).
Without glucose to meet their energy needs, cancer cells die.
It is clear that if you follow a smart alkaline
diet, you can significantly reduce your risk of cancer. I use the word
‘smart’ because if you’re consuming conventional fruits and vegetables
and genetically modified foods instead of organic, you’re still being
exposed to pesticides and toxins, which are also known carcinogens. Many
people have adopted organic, plant-based, alkaline-rich diets and have
successfully cured themselves of cancer.
Aside from alkaline diets, there are a
number of other all-natural treatments for cancer that are being studied
and used by cancer patients all over the world. Some of these
alternative methods include cannabis, vitamin C injections, turmeric, plant-based diets, and frankincense, among others.
