My beautiful young fiancee has Leukemia. I take care of her all day. She's very frail and doesn't have much appetite right now. So I've started making her a lot of fresh smoothies and vegetable juices. Should I put her on a completely Vegan or Raw Food diet to help treat her? Will it help? I need to do anything possible to nourish her body back to health so I'm considering anything now.|||It does help in certain types of cancer.|||Which types, Joanie? Links to evidence? Report Abuse |||Some researchers say that. But going on a rigorous change of diet at this stage may not be advisable, make it gradually, daily. It is true that a non-vegetarian diet is filling but a vegetarian diet is high on nutrition and definitely a rich source of fibre which meat falls short of. Considering the times (of bird flu or such diseases), it is hard to say how safe/healthy the animal to be consumed is. This is off track a bit but a close person who had cancer (and has been completely cured) tried yoga. It is nothing mystical but simple breathing and posture exercises but super effective.|||The vegan diet is really good for people. Just make sure you do your research, so that she can get the proper nutrietns and protein. She will need the high amounts of protein to help repair her body. Make sure you do some research on vegan complete proteins. Soy is a complete protein as well as hemp, and a few others. Also make sure you consult with her doctor first, just to be sure, but I doubt it would be a problem as long as you do your research. I hope your fiance gets better! Best of luck to you!|||yes, yes, yes. Read the "China Study" you will be amazed. also add hemp seed to her diet, that will help. cannabis also cures cancer. do your research. http://www.scribd.com/doc/36023630/Cance鈥?/a> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptDgnnW6d鈥?/a>|||First of all I hope all the best for your both. I can't say (and refuse to give advice one way or another on something I have to proof of). You really shouldn't listen to anyone's advice here. You should talk to her oncologist first and see what his opinion is on it. God bless.|||A macrobiotic diet can affect tumors. It's used in alternative cancer treatment centers and has been shown to be especially effective with patients who intend to survive their cancers. Research macrobiotics online, soon.|||Research has proven that a vegan diet can reverse cancer cell growth and treat cancer patients. Good luck.|||I have heard of a colon cancer patient being "cured" through a vegan diet. It's worth a shot.|||I have heard people say that eating raw can help my thoughts are try it I mean it can't hurt it right?!|||I've answered your question in both the Cancer and AltMed sections, but I'm repeating here what I said in the Cancer section (and adding a bit more) to counter some of the misinformation you have been given here. No, a vegan diet cannot help treat cancer; nor can any other diet. I was diagnosed with cancer almost seven years ago; I had, at the time, been a vegan for over 8 years (and a vegetarian for most of my life - an 'almost-vegan' for decades). Not only that, I was a juicing enthusiast - I had (have) three juicers, each more sophisticated than the last, and I started most days with green juice. My diet always included plenty of raw food. None of this prevented a diagnosis of aggressive cancer, none of it cured me, and I'm certainly not relying on it to prevent recurrence (I am still vegan). I trust and hope that your fiancee is receiving treatment for her cancer. If she's having chemo, then whatever she feels she can eat and feels will make her feel better is the way to go. Don't attempt to 'put her on' any kind of diet at all. Feeling under pressure to eat and drink things she doesn't want will make her feel worse. Food does not cure or treat cancer. Encourage your fiancee to eat as healthy a diet as possible by preparing and offering tempting healthy meals, but she must make the choices about what she wants and will eat. And as I said before, a healthy diet for a cancer patient is the same as a healthy diet for anyone else - there are no special 'cancer foods'. One thing you can be 100% sure of - anyone who answers your question by telling you that yes, a vegan or any other diet can help treat/cure/reverse/stop cancer has not had cancer and has no personal experience of anyone having been successfully treated by a vegan diet, a raw diet or juice. Edit: btw, I'm not following you roundYA. Cancer, AltMed and V&V are the three YA sections I answer questions in Best wishes to you both
