Food for Thought (IV) - A Balanced Diet

According to a posting on The Fool on The Hill website, we may prevent and cure cancer by maintaining a certain level of alkaline in our body chemistry*(1).

That posting, Combat Cancer*(2), tells us what a Chinese doctor had discovered in the blood chemistry of cancer patients. Dr. Lu Geling, who is said to have practiced at Majie Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan, in the forties, found body chemistry of 600 cancer patients all acidic.

In addition, the good doctor observed that there were no reported cancer cases amongst Chinese monks and nuns. As we know, the serene and benevolent Buddhism followers live ascetically on strict vegetarian fares. They also invariably reside close to nature where the air is fresher and the grass is greener.

Together with the knowledge that cancer cell cannot survive in an alkali environment, Dr. Lu concluded that besides living a simple and caring life, maintaining a "weakly" alkali body chemistry can help prevent and cure cancer.

Somehow there is very little background information on Dr. Lu, his hospital and his research on cancer and body chemistry. But an alkaline-rich diet did help two lung cancer patients became cancer free and healthy.

To reflect what this fool has just learned from reading Combat Cancer, now I also know cancer is not a modern-day ailment. But thirty or forty years ago, I had never heard of anyone I knew died of cancer. I wonder why?

Finally, let’s put aside the debate on whether a diet change can or cannot prevent and cure cancers. Just think how relieved and joyful many cancer sufferers will be if they know there are other simpler and gentler alternatives they can choose to fight this dreaded disease. - Ayee
