Guest guest Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Hi, I am very persuaded to take on the raw lifestyle, except for one concern: I had a complete hysterectomy because of ovarian cancer (granulosa cell tumor which ruptured and I fear has spread cells all through my abdomen). Naturally, I am trying to find ways of decreasing the possibility of it recurring. In a lot of my reading, I have seen that sugar is very dangerous for cancer patients, as it is said to 'feed' cancer cells. They seriously caution against fruit. Can anyone address this? Thanks Tirza Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing his first seminar and then more or less polling/tracking the raw food movement I see it is more or less divided into to basic paths, " green " vs " fruit " ... I am just the messenger here, not the person advocating one or the other. The Hippocrates Health Institute's seems to have been mainly focused on cancer for quite some time. If I " ever " had the situation where I could take off from work for three weeks and keep all the bills paid and have the tuition/fees to go to Hippocrates I most certainly would. Until then, I'm just like a little kid dreaming of going to Disneyland one day... Namaste -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 San Francisco, CA 94121 " UNIX, A Way of Life.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 HI Tirza... actually, protein, especially animal protein and cooked foods are what cancer cells feed upon. Cancer cells cannot survive in a rawfood medium. don't have the research reference readily available. maybe search cancer and rawfood on Google? all the best, Bob rawfood , " MrandMrsM " <tdbmgroups@g...> wrote: > Hi, > I am very persuaded to take on the raw lifestyle, except for one > concern: I had a complete hysterectomy because of ovarian cancer > (granulosa cell tumor which ruptured and I fear has spread cells all > through my abdomen).

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2005 Report Share Posted August 4, 2005 Fresh whole ripe organic fruit is safe to eat and does not contribute to cancer or any other chronic diseases. People who have sugar intolerances may not be able to eat the sweeter fruits until they heal their condition (usually related to insulin resistance). Cancers are caused by the presence of carcinogens in the body, and these can be readily found in cooked animal products, cooked fats and oils, and cooked starchy foods. Not to mention the various forms or environmental pollution and toxic household and beauty products. There is a general unfounded fear around fruit in the raw community, probably because of lot of people who come to the raw diet are sick from their cooked food lifestyles. If you were to ask anyone who came to raw from SAD, I'll bet none of them could attribute the candida to the consumption of fruit. There is a phenomenom in the raw foods diet where if a person is eating a high fat diet and at the same time consuming sweet fruits that candida can arise. This a result of the consumption of the fats rather than the fruits. Cutting either the fat or the fruit will make the symptoms disappear, but the problem is the body needs carbohydrates (in the form of glucose) to feed everyone of the trillions of cells in the body. So given a choice between fats and fruits for calories, fruit is a better choice as it offers easier to digest energy. Eating a high fat raw diet (30% fat or more) will ultimately result in disease in the long term, even on the raw diet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
