Dries Cancer Diet

Dries cancer diet is the result of many years of research and clinical practice by nutritionist Jan Dries. When used as an adjunct to regular treatment it has produced remarkable results in hundreds of cancer patients.

Dries says that the diet is suitable for all cancer patients and can be used in conjunction with chemotherapy or radiation treatments. Upon recovery the continuation of the diet can also help to defend against a possible relapse.

Cancer Diet Basics

According to Dries the nutritional value, as well as the healing power of a specific food, is based on the amount of light energy, or its bio-energetic value. He says that cancer patients need to absorb as much energy as possible from their food so as to avoid depletion of their energy reserves. This can stimulate the self-healing mechanism of the body.

Although bio-energetic values may appear to be a novel way to gauge the quality of a food, Dries claims that several scientists, including the famous German physicist, Dr. Popp, have undertaken extensive research in this area. Dries claims to have expanded on the work of Dr. Popp by determining the different frequencies of foods that have a specific beneficial effect on improving immunity and resistance to cancer.

Raw foods are eaten exclusively for the first three months because they have the highest bio-energetic values. The diet is based predominantly on the consumption of raw fruits, especially tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango. Dries supports a high intake of fruit with scientific studies indicating that the consumption of 400 grams of fruit daily reduces the chance of cancer by 50%.

Certain raw vegetables, nuts and seeds are also included in the diet as well as dairy products, bee pollen, honey and some oils. Foods included that do not have a direct influence on the recovery process, but are not harmful either, include mayonnaise, vinaigrette dressing, and whipped cream. These are permitted because they help to improve the taste of meals as well as enhance digestion.
