Green vegetables. Eat them raw, throw them into a broth, add them to juices. Their chlorophyll helps swab out environmental toxins (heavy metals, pesticides) and is an all-round liver protector.
Lemons. You need to keep the fluids flowing to wash out the body and fresh lemonade is ideal. Its vitamin C - considered the detox vitamin - helps convert toxins into a water - soluble form that?s easily flushed away.
Watercress. Put a handful into salads, soups, and sandwiches. The peppery little green leaves have a diuretic effect that helps move things through your system. And cress is rich in minerals too.
Garlic. Add it to everything - salads, sauces, spreads. In addition to the bulb's cardio benefits, it activates liver enzymes that help filter out junk.
Green tea. This antioxidant-rich brew is one of the healthiest ways to get more fluids into your system. Bonus: It contains catechins, which speed up liver activity.
Broccoli sprouts. Get 'em at your health-food store. They pack 20 to 50 times more cancer-fighting, enzyme-stimulating activity into each bite than the grown-up vegetable.
Sesame seeds. They're credited with protecting liver cells from the damaging effects of alcohol and other chemicals. For a concentrated form, try tahini, the yummy sesame seed paste that?s a staple of Asian cooking.
Cabbage. There are two main types of detoxifying enzymes in the liver; this potent veggie helps activate both of them. Coleslaw, anyone?
Psyllium. A plant that?s rich in soluble fiber, like oat bran, but more versatile. It mops up toxins (cholesterol too) and helps clear them out. Stir powdered psyllium into juice to help cleanse your colon, or have psyllium-fortified Bran Buds for breakfast.

Try Vitamin C therapy. A few years ago a cancer researcher came out with a paper saying that the best cancer and infection fighter as yet found was Interferon, but, at the time, it cost $15,000 a gram. The good part was that Interferon was a product of the natural breakdown of Vitamin C in your system. Shortly after that paper came out the FDA tried to make Vit C by prescription only. Guess why? The FDA says that the RDA for Vit C is 64 mg a day, just enough to prevent scurvy. Linus Pauling, who got a Nobel Prize for his work with Vit C and a second Nobel Prize for organic chemistry, said 1000 mg a day as a minimum and 2000 mg a day if you are sick. On a personal note, I was sick twice a year, for 2 weeks at a time, for 20 years, and was flat on my back for at least a week each time. To this day the doctors have no idea what the problem was. After I gave up on the doctors I tried Vit C. I took enough to keep from being sick and just below too much to get diarrhea. It followed a bell curve over 2 weeks with a peak at 40,000 mg a day – about 300,000 over the 2 weeks. I was not sick for those 2 weeks and after a couple of years of that I have not been sick since. I did not dissolve my kidneys, as some doctors said would happen. I did not get any calcium build up or stones and did not dissolve my cones or solidify my joints. Try it, but drink a lot of water – Vit C is a natural diuretic.

Just try to get plenty of vitamins and minerals and protein (not too much, just enough). Especially if on chemo, to keep blood levels up so that the chemo regimen moves forward in a timely fashion (so it is over and done with quickly). Arby's or Rax roast beef sandwiches are bland (to keep nausea at bay)but good for protein. Cold boiled eggs are good for protein and bland to keep nausea at bay. I liked cold bottled water over tap water (in the big keg), but that is not necessarily magical...just tasted better with the chemo nausea to me. There is probably no magic diet bullet that you can avoid the doctors altogether. Please do not go that route, if you are thinking that way. It could waste valuable time getting medical treatment (ie surgery, chemo or radiation). Of course none of those things are fun...but they have been shown to work to at least a certain degree. Anything else should be an add on to the medical treatment (as long as it doesn't interfere with the medical treatment or work against it). Hope that helped...

Zone diet would work well.For a female-3oz. of protein (lean meat,eggs,fish,soy) and 12to 15 oz. of good carbs(vegetables & fruits),no pasta ,no bread,no junk.This is for breakfest,lunch and dinner.Also a natural whole food vitamin supplement and ionic minerals.Stay away from synthetic vitamins like centrum,one a day etc.. your body cannot use them.There is a nutritional supplement called Beta 1,3-D Glucan.It is a primary treatment for cancer in Japan and China.It triggers an immune response in the body,creating a system against viral,bacterial,fungal,parasitic or neoplastic (abnormal tissue growth) invaders.It helps people undergoing radiation or chemotherapy by boosting the immune system.Check it out at www.dna911.info
