diet help for cancer in liver and spleen

The only thing I would say from that is that she may need to watch her sodium levels from the bicarb. The Gerson people point out that the constant drive of sodium to displace potassium in cells is one underlying battle in toxic conditions.

There is some suggestion that more technical 'healthy eating' approaches reduce the effect of chemo, due to the latter working by increasing toxicity, hence the conflict of approaches. Hence advising on diet etc can take a lot of skill. In advanced disease states nutrition is not a job for the amateur.

However, you surely can't go too far wrong with wholesome balanced and varied home-cooking made with fresh local ingredients in season, can you? And whilst cooking aids digestion, it also destroys many nutrients, so there's a balance there to be met. Avoid processed food, additives, excessive salt and sugar, but this is all general advice for anybody, really.

Why not get onto the Penny Brohn Centre and seek their advice, or a Gerson therapist?

I fully back what kvdp has said. In a situation like this you'll need the help of a fully trained nutritional therapist who will be able to give comprehensive advice for this particular condition. Generally however a wholesome wholefood diet should be followed at present with an emphasis on more potassium-rich foods and less of the inorganic sodium.
Also it depends on the mind and outlook of the person who's ill. Is she willing to implement dietary changes because if there's resistance then there would be no point in advising her to change her diet this way or that way.

I heartily endorse ANY method that doesn't include cut, burn, radiate or intimidate. Funny, the NCI doesn't recognize Gerson's methods, but fully supports chemo and radiation.....hmmmm....what data do they have to support such findings? Oh, I'm sorry, they don't need to justify their position.

Hi Nicky

Sorry to hear your Mum is unwell. I think one thing that may help her is to juice vegetables and fruit. This supplies the cell contents of the plants in a very digestable form, reducing pressure on the digestive system, and if drunk within half an hour of making the juice then the antioxidants and plant enzymes will be there in full value. You'll need a juicer though. Juicing brassicas (cabbage family) can help considerably with the healing process - you can add some with fruit like citrus, apples or berries. You must use fresh produce, not bottled, jared, frozen or tinned! See and many more available using google.

Making a smoothie of them is another option, but the bulk is considerably more - she may prefer it that way. In my experience, though, the digestive system can struggle when under chemo and the juicing can supply much needed nutrients in an easily assimilated form. You can add whey protein to the juice or smoothie if she finds eating difficult, and I'd add some omega oils like EyeQ liquid to help with cellular repair.

Past chemo probably means that her gut bacteria has become compromised and would benefit from some beneficial probiotics such as Acidophilus and Bifidobacteria - you can hide them in the juice or smoothie if necessary. Get the best quality from a healthfood shop - of the type kept in the chiller cabinet. If she won't accept this then sugar/sweetener-free probiotic yoghurt is also helpful for bloating and wind, but has far less quantity of beneficial bacteria than a quality capsule.

If you can persuade her, a qualified nutritionist, [url]see here[/url], will be able to help enormously with a beneficial diet.

Let us know how she gets on.

Edit: juicing sprouted seeds can also supply an amazing array of nutrients, or just ating them as they are as snacks. You can do your own or buy some from healthfood shops.

thank u sooo much carolyne that was exactly the information i was hoping for ..
will be in touch.

love and light!
