Immunopower

Hi everyone,

Thanks so much for posting all this dietery information – I too am in the process of devising a suitable diet plan for my partner who has just been diagnosed. I have ordered Quillens book, but it is not due to arrive for a week or so. I am a little confused as to just how much juice is recommended a day. He is currently on a course of Gemsar although the oncologists have made it very clear that 1. it may not work for him at all and 2. It is likely the cc will eventually become resistant. I am desperate to have a solid and well-researched vitamin/supplement/diet programme in place for him both now, and down the track. He means the world to me.
Any advice would be most appreciated at this horrendously difficult time.

All the very best to you,

Emma.

Wow Geoff,

If anyone is going to beat this cancer naturally it’s you.

I meant that the Gerson Institute says that you need a very specific kind of fruit press to get the juice and she doesn’t think you need that particular (very expensive) kind of juicer.

Mark does drink the carrot apple juice every day, all day. Besides the specific juices he is drinking here are some of the basic guidelines she has given him.

Anything he eats needs to be organic.

Here are the absolute NO’s:

No white flour
No canned or processed vegetables or fruits
No milk, cheese or ice cream
No red meat (beef, pork, veal)
No fried foods and nothing with partially hydrogenated oil (NO margarine)
No sugar or sugar substitutes of any kind
No carbonated drinks of any kind, no caffeine (coffee/tea), no sweetened drinks

Here are the things he can eat:

Brown rice, wheat, oats, millet, corn, barley, kasha, amaranth, quinoa, organic breads
All vegetables, raw or freshly cooked
Organic whole fruits with peels on (meaning no jams or such)
He can have organic, vegetarian eggs, raw milk (whole, unpasteurized milk) or Rice Milk – organic yogurt is alright
He can eat organic chicken or fish
He can have organic butter, organic coconut oil (we love this)
He also needs to drink filtered spring water, he should not drink tap water or distilled water
No soy because in the U.S. it is a GMO (genetically modified) product, I don’t think it is a problem in the UK

Now, this being said, Mark is doing this diet in a way that is comfortable for him.

He is also taking various things from home essiac tea, pancreatin, absorbaid, bromelain +quercitin, super greens, L-Lysine, NADH, Graviola, Acidophilus, Flaxseed oil, thyroid.

This is in addition to what she is pumping into his body everyday up at the clinic.

I hope this helps, let me know if you have anymore questions.

Yes, they are doing sort of a modified Gerson diet, his naturopath does not believe that you need the specific juice press (she and others of her profession believe this to be a political thing? I don’t know) The diet is mostly the same as you would find in any of the books, although I know that Mark is following it “the best he can” He is doing all the rest of it, but some of the herbs and other things she is doing intravenously are a little different than the Gerson therapy suggests.

Marianne helps him with things in the morning before he goes to the clinic and at night when he gets home and the rest of the family fill in where we are needed.

Mark is on the Gerson diet now – it is a slightly altered diet as recommended by his naturopath and takes Immpower as well as several other things as recommended by her.

He is spending 5 days a week a the clinic where he receives a lot of other things intravenously. But last week has been one of his best weeks yet. We will know more when he has his scan after Thanksgiving.

Geoff,

I sent an e-mail to Dr. Quillin a year ago when my husband was just dx with cc. and asked him if my husband could used the supplements. Since it’s liver disease, Dr. Quillin said to ask my husband’s oncologist before taking it. I guessed, it’s a matter of personal choice.
