Usually the cause of cancer is depressed immune system. The antidote then is to
strengthen the immune system by eating nutritious, natural foods. Dr. Servan-Schreiber in his book Ä New Way of Life" has recommended the following anti-cancer foods:
GREEN TEA.
It contains catechins, which can help retard tumor growth It is also a powerful antioxidant that helps hasten the death of cancer cells. Green tea should be steeped for at least 5-8 minutes to release the catechins. Drink 2cups of green tea daily and drink within 2hours of preparation. Choose the non- caffeinated variety to lessen any side effects, like heart palpitation.
CURRY AND TURMERIC
Turmeric and yellow curry are potent food ingredient to fight inflammation. In the laboratory, these substances enhance the effect of chemotherapy and also reduce tumor growth.
CABBAGES.
Cabbages (like bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower and brussels sprouts) sulforaphane and indole-3-carbinols, which are potent anti-cancer substances. These molecules can prevent precancerous cells from turning into real cancer cells. To prepare cabbage, steam briefly or stir-dry quickly with little olive oil. Do not boil them or you'll destroy their anticancer properties.
GINGER.
Ginger has long been used to treat nausea, vomiting, cough, colds, headache, stomach ache and arthritis. It's pungent odor comes from gingerols and shogaols, which are likely responsible for its anti-nausea and anti-vomiting effects. Ginger also helps reduce inflammation and helps retard the creation of new blood vessels used by cancer cells.
