The following guidelines are generalized for cancer patients. Please see attached pages in addendum to understand specific foods recommended for cancer patients.

1) Food in general: The goal with any cancer patient is to feed the patient but not the cancer. Most cancer patients fail at this goal and either end up starving themselves or dying from the complications of a well-fed tumor. We have to remember that tumor cells are like the trophoblastic (placental) cells that surround a baby. Any pregnant women knows that tissues that feed the baby are those that feed first. Starving a baby is the game…along with feeding the mother.

2) Sugar: Cancer cells love sugar. Because cancer cells operate solely from anaerobic respiration, they need lots of sugar (glucose) in order to make ATP (the energy source). Normal cells, operating with primarily aerobic respiration, require 8 x less sugar than cancer cells to make an identical amount of ATP. Hence, every time a cancer patient eats sugar, there is competition for the glucose molecules and the cancer usually wins. The advice here is to avoid sugar (in fruits, drinks, breads, sweets, chocolate) like it was a black plague.

3) Protein: Cancer cells love protein. If you read The China Study, you will learn that heavy meat eaters in China develop far more cancerous tumors than vegetarians. The assumption from the book is that we should all be vegetarians, but it fails to account for the fact that most plant sources of protein are deficient in bioavailable protein. Secondly, most humans over the age of 40 are deficient in amino acids regardless of vegetarian status or not. Another fact that is overlooked is that humans from different cultures require different amounts of protein and from different sources. An Alaskan native needs far more animal protein than the more vegetarian tribal person of central Africa. When thinking of the Kelley Protocol, the danger of heavy animal protein (cooked red meat, pork, etc.) is that it requires large amounts of digestive energy and pancreatic enzymes to break down into usable amino acid forms. These pancreatic enzymes are better utilized to destroy the tumor tissue. To maintain proper amino acids in human (to facilitate the immune system), a supplement such as M.A.P. (Major Amino Acid Profile) is utilized along with more easily digested animal proteins such as eggs or fish. M.A.P. has more bioavailable and usable protein than any supplement or shake. Note: The Alaskan native person traditionally has always eaten the pancreas of the caribou as an adjunctive to their high meat diet. Traditional peoples either intuitively or by heritage knew to pancreatic enzymes with their meals of meat.

4) Raw Foods: Raw foods usually can be more bioavailable and nutrient-dense than cooked foods that have lost B-vitamins, enzymes, and overall quality due to the cooking process. The Gerson Method is a cancer program that requires that patients drink approximately 12 glasses of raw juice everyday. Using raw juices with minimal sugar content is very important in any cancer support regimen because their high enzyme content and high alkalizing content. It is recommended to drink at least 3 large glasses of juice per day for the first 3 months of therapy.

5) Acid: Cancer cells live in acid environments and make more acid. Dr. Tullio Simoncini is an Italian doctor who has capitalized upon this truth and now regularly infuses cancer cells with large amounts of sterile sodium bicarbonate—a very alkalizing substance. Avoiding foods such as heavy meats, sugars, and alcohol along with incorporating a stress-free life and using appropriate dietary supplements will reduce acid in the system.

6) Fats: Essential fatty acids are vital for cancer patients. Omega 3’s provide for proper nerve, skin, and heart function…all essential for proper oxygenation and detoxification.

7) Food Allergies: Food allergies may be a concern for cancer patients by preventing proper absorption of nutrients. However, pancreatic enzymes such as Pan-Alone are so potent that food allergies present few problems for those doing the Kelley Protocol. Additional supplements may be necessary for providing vital nutrition. See next section for more information.

The attached dietary addendum gives general references to what most patients eat traditionally on the Kelley program. These food recommendations are adapted from the Westin Price Foundation. Books recommended include Eat Well and Live by Gwynn Palmer, Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon, and keto books such as Fat for Fuel and it’s associated cookbook by Joe Mercola.
