what type of food, can someone who suffers from leukemia should avoid?

Answer 1

I think the foods to avoid would be anything processed. The best foods would be to juice organic fruits and veggies to get the most nutrients from the foods without having to eat tons of raw veggies and fruits.

Answer 2

It is not what food you should avoid, but what food you should take.
A naturopath or nutritional physician may recommend some of the following nutritional supplements to boost a patient’s immune function and help fight cancer:
• Vitamins and minerals. Vitamins that are of particular benefit to cancer patients include beta-carotene, Bcomplex vitamins, (especially vitamin B 6, vitamins A, C, D, E and K. The most important minerals are calcium, chromium, copper, iodine, molybdenum, germanium, selenium, tellurium, and zinc. Many of these vitamins and minerals are strong antioxidants. However, patients should not take mega doses of these supplements without first consulting their doctor. Significant adverse or toxic effects may occur at high dosage, which is especially true for minerals. It is prudent to avoid use of antioxidants when undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy since these treatments kill the cancer by producing oxidants. Antioxidants can undermine the effectiveness of treatment.
• Other nutritional supplements that may help fight cancer and support the body include essential fatty acids (fish or flaxseed oil), flavonoids, pancreatic enzymes (to help digest foods), hormones such as DHEA, melatonin or phytoestrogens, rice bran, and mushroom extracts. It is best to check with a nutritional physician or other licensed provider when adding these supplements.

Answer 3

Go on an anti-candida or anti-fungal diet. Avoid all sugars, grains, flour, fermented foods such as condiments, pickles and alcohol, and cheeses.

If you want to go even further, adopt the juicing regimen of Gerson Therapy, that has cured so many thousands of cancer patients. I did it, and it cured me of breast cancer.

There is some compelling evidence that several cases of diagnosed leukemia have actually turned out to be misdiagnosed fungal infections.

There have been several cases of people who had leukemia going into spontaneous remission when they received anti-fungal drugs for "secondary" fungal infections. Other people with leukemia have gone on anti-fungal diets, and then gone into remission.

Some cancer experts such as Doug Kaufmann and David Holland believe that most cancers are probably undiagnosed fungal infections, and they have the evidence to back up their claims.

The problem is that doctors are poorly trained about fungus in medical schools. Pathology labs that analyze samples for cancer seldom test for the presence of fungus or even know HOW to test for it.

If I had a diagnosis of leukemia, I would start reading up on all the new information about the link between fungus, or mycotoxins, and cancer. I would get to a doctor who is a fungal specialist for a second opinion.

In the meantime, I would proceed on the assumption that I had a fungal infection and change my diet accordingly.

Answer 4

Leukemia hampers the immune system. It is reccomended to avoid fresh fruits and veggies. Everything should be cooked, so the leukemia pt does not develop an opportunistic infection.
