Vegan Diet – 70% Raw and 30% Cooked
I NEVER had any doubt that I wouldn’t beat this. I went home and cleaned everything out of the kitchen the first day and turned it into a vegan kitchen. I became a vegan, eating about 70% raw and 30% cooked. I stopped eating all processed foods. This journey would have been a lot more difficult without the loving support of my wife, Brenda, who has been right alongside me the whole time. She eats basically the same diet I do.
Typical Day
My typical day would begin by checking my pH. Most cancer patients have low pH and I got into a routine of taking about a teaspoon of BioTech Tri-Salts or baking soda in the morning and before going to bed. I also take either two Maitake Gold or Maitake D-Fraction capsules in the morning. You can take 4 a day. This helps build the immune system. For breakfast (and lunch) I eat Dr. Johanna Budwig’s protocol (see book) of flax oil and cottage cheese with ground flax seeds and organic blueberries. I make a green drink which consists of 2 tablespoons of Dr. Schulze’s Superfood Powder, 1 tablespoon New Zealand Barley Grass Powder, 1 teaspoon of Chlorella Powder, 1 scoop of One World Whey Protein and 1 scoop of Medicalicious Protein Powder by Balance Nutraceuticals. I take the protein powder to help maintain weight. I drink one cup of organic green tea and also take 2 Life Extension Green Tea Extract supplements each morning. For the first year, I also drank Organic Dandelion Root Tea but I stopped because it is also a diuretic and I was still losing weight then.
We have a Green Star Juicer and I juice once a week. I keep 3 days worth in the refrigerator and freeze the rest and take it out as I need it. I learned from Hallelujah Acres staff that it can be kept in the refrigerator for 3 days without losing much of the live enzymes and you can freeze it for up to 2 weeks. You will lose some nutrient value, but not much of the live enzymes will be lost. For 2 years I drank six 8 oz juices a day plus six 8 oz Barley Grass Powder drinks. I would drink a vegetable juice the first hour and a barley grass the next, rotating all day. I juice the same things which are all organic including carrots, beets (including tops), celery, cucumbers, parsley, cilantro, lemon, ginger and chard. I tried juicing broccoli and leafy greens but usually get more foam than juice so have stopped juicing these.
Lunch
For lunch I repeat the Budwig flax oil and cottage cheese with ground flaxes seed and organic blueberries. I also have a green smoothie that I make in our Vitamix. I put loose leaf lettuce, cucumber, zucchini, a granny smith apple, chia seed, stevia liquid for sweetener and I also add some ground steel cut oats and an avocado to help with my weight. I also drink organic green tea, cold or hot.
Dinner
For dinner, I usually eat a large salad with loose leaf lettuce (mostly home grown), broccoli, garlic, onions, cucumbers, raw nuts, and zucchini. Sometimes I make a raw kale or collard salad using organic Tamari sauce which is similar to soy sauce – just let it sit for an hour to marinade. Once in a while we will have an organic pasta with cooked veggies; our favorite is one made of mung beans. I also eat organic brown rice and organic beans (we buy them dried). I make raw organic sauerkraut and homemade kombucha. We drink it daily and add the kraut to our meals a few times a week.
Snacks
For snacks, I eat raw brazil nuts, almonds, and macadamia nuts. The almonds need to be soaked overnight and then let dry before eating. I also eat 8 raw organic Apricot Seeds and other B17 products from Apricot Power daily (get the bitter ones) as they kill cancer cells. Sometimes I will also eat some organic hummus and organic rice chips.
