Can beetroot be consumed daily for a cancer patient?

by Betty
(Hongkong)

I am diagnosed with breast cancer and is fighting cancer through alternative medicine which include fresh fruit juicing, exercise and herbal medicine.

Right now, I am having mixed fruit juice (kiwi, lemon, apple) with beetroot, carrot and tomato all uncooked twice daily. 2 glasses each time, once in the morning and once in the late afternoon.

1. Can beetroot be taken daily and continuously like in my case?

2. Is it true that it is better to cook tomato rather than have it raw?

3. Is there a need to add cooking oil/olive oil on carrots so that the body will be able to absorb its benefit?

4. Is there a need to change the ingredients of my juice every now and then or better to make the ingredients a routine? Have them as is everyday?

Many thanks.

From Sara:

Dear Betty, I'm sorry to hear of your situation, but am glad that you are fighting it the natural way. However, I hope that you are following a certain proven guideline in your journey to health.

I, personally, am a huge believer of the Gerson Therapy which I have seen proven over and over again. Juicing, exercise and herbal medicine are all good, but they are not enough as the cancer cells may multiply faster than you are able to counter them with these good things.

Daily detoxification of the liver is also very important in order to continuously cleanse the blood system. Detoxification means to stop harmful substances getting into your system, and also to remove the toxins that are already in the system.

With Gerson Therapy, we forbid consumption of: meat, salt, sugar and any kind of oil (except fresh flaxseed oil).

With this therapy, we suggest only four kinds of juices which are used in the treatment of most cancers, with a few minor exceptions:

- Apple + carrot juice
- Carrot only juice
- Green juice
- Orange juice (grapefruit for diabetics)

The Gerson Therapy is largely a "do-it-yourself" program, is very intensive, entails a lot of dos and don'ts but it has been found to be effective. If you are not already on any program, then do learn more about it. Defeat the enemy at the root cause.
