Rapid Weight Loss is Not What a Detox Diet Should Be Used For….

Although you may experience rapid weight loss on the lemon detox diet, its main function is a detox diet through a colon cleanse.

After years of eating an improper diet, the body starts to feel tired and sickly due to the toxins building up in the body.

When first starting any detox diet, such as the lemon detox diet, these toxins are being reintroduced into the body and into the colon for elimination.

This will help clear the colon of some of the toxic fecal matter before it is burdened with the extra toxins coming in from the detox diet

Take 1 teaspoon of sea salt or Epson ingestible salt and add it to a 24 ounce glass of warm purified water and drink it immediately.

If this is not too uncomfortable, drink two glasses of this colon cleanse recipe, one glass in the morning and one at bedtime.

The lemon detox diet recipe is as follows: 2 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of natural maple syrup, 1/10 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder, and 10 ounces of pure water.

You will be amazed at how good you feel after completing this detox program.

Dr. Mercola talks with Dr. Gonzalez on Cancer

The president of Sloan-Kettering who had become Gonzalez’ mentor, if Kelley could produce even one patient with appropriately diagnosed pancreatic cancer who was alive 5-10 years later, it would be remarkable.

A second group of seven patients who did the therapy partially and incompletely (again, dissuaded by well-intentioned but misguided family members or doctors), had an average survival of 300 days.

The third group consisting of five patients, who were appropriately diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer and who completed the full program, had an average survival of eight and a half years!

However, despite—or rather because of—the remarkable success of the treatment, Gonzalez couldn’t get his findings published.

“We tried to publish case reports in the medical journals; the whole book, parts of the book, individual case reports—with no success,” he says.

Those of us who practice natural medicine are frequently criticized for not publishing our findings.

My justification for that is that it’s not going to be published anyway, and Dr. Gonzalez’ anecdotal story confirms this view.

In 1993, as part of a legitimate effort to reach out to alternative practitioners, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invited Dr. Gonzalez to present 25 of his cases in a closed-door, invitation-only session.

It may seem an odd choice, but the business motivation was the same then as it is today—making junk food appear healthier is a good business move, even if it’s only in theory.

To put his results in perspective, the chemo drug, Gemzar, approved for pancreatic cancer dates back to 1997, and the major study that led to its approval had 126 patients.

“Turned out the principal investigator at Columbia, who’s supposed to be completely neutral, had helped develop a chemo regimen that was being used against us—a conflict of interest that was never declared,” Dr. Gonzalez explains.

We had patients that were so sick we would never have accepted them into our private practice.

Whether it was a trick to the protocol or not, the Columbia team, the NCI, and the NHI insisted that we had an “intent to treat provision into protocol”.

Dr. Kelley originally had 10 basic diets and 90 variations that ranged from pure vegetarian and raw food, to heavy-protein meals that included red meat three times a day.

Cancer tends to occur on the extremes, in the extreme vegetarians—those that tend to be too meat—or in the extreme meat eaters, who tend to be too alkaline.

So the supplement protocols are very individualized and very precisely engineered.”

Omega-3 fats are also prescribed, but even here Dr. Gonzalez prescribes different types of omega-3′s depending on the patient’s nutritional type.

In his experience, vegetarians, or carbohydrate types, tend to fare better on flaxseed oil, which contains alpha linoleic acid (ALA) — a plant-based omega 3.

Protein types, on the other hand, appear to need the EPA and the DHA and do better on animal-based omega-3 such as krill oil.

Beard was a professor at the University of Edinburg, an embryologist actually, not a medical researcher, who first proposed that pancreatic proteolytic enzymes are the main defense against cancer in the body and are useful as a cancer treatment,” he explains.

The inactive precursors are particularly active against cancer.

“More active isn’t better when it comes to pancreatic enzymes, just like more and more D isn’t better than getting the right dosage.

Antioxidants, such as astaxanthin, are also very helpful, both in the prevention and treatment of cancer.

The third component is a detoxification routine.

Coffee enemas are used to help your liver and kidneys to mobilize and eliminate dead cancer cells that have been broken down by the pancreatic enzymes.

When you drink coffee, it tends to suppress your liver function, but when taken rectally as an enema, the caffeine stimulates nerves in your lower bowels, which causes your liver to release toxins as a reflex.

“In fact, there are recent studies showing that coffee loaded with antioxidants can have an anti-cancer effect and that coffee may actually help suppress cancer.

But you have to use organic coffee, it has to have caffeine, and you have to use a coffee maker that doesn’t have aluminum, and preferably no plastic.”

In addition to expounding on the subjects mentioned above, Dr. Gonzalez also reviews the benefits of optimizing vitamin D during cancer treatment, and how iodine supplementation can benefit breast cancer—not to mention help protect against thyroid cancer, in light of the current nuclear crisis in Japan.

See www.dr-gonzalez.com for more info . He’s also working on a series of books, two of which have already been published and received five-star reviews:

The Trophoblast and the Origins of Cancer, and One Man Alone: An Investigation of Nutrition, Cancer, and William Donald Kelley , which is the original monograph of Dr. Kelley’s work that he couldn’t get published 23 years ago.

In this interview, Chris Masterjohn shares his experience with vegetarianism, and his insightful critique of the pro-vegetarian classic, The China Study.

Chris is a doctoral student and expects to graduate with a PhD in nutrition early next year.

In the wake of the internet buzz surrounding raw food blogger Denise Minger’s recent critique, Chris revisited the topic in a series of articles that culminated in “The Curious Case of Campbell’s Rats — Does Protein Deficiency Prevent Cancer?,” a comprehensive review of Campbell’s animal research showing that Campbell made remarkably egregious omissions about the true health of the rats to whom he had fed low-protein diets.

What is particularly troublesome is Campbell’s inability to acknowledge that not all individuals respond favorably to eliminating animal protein from their diet.

John Robbins, an outstanding and passionate speaker in excellent health, gave a very moving and compelling presentation in support of this choice at David Wolfe’s Longevity Now Conference earlier this year in Costa Mesa, California.

Chris’ journey began with John Robbins’ book Diet for a New America, which claims that eating meat is bad for your health and for the environment.

Since he was already very interested in animal rights, this concept confirmed his feelings about consuming animals raised in the horrific conditions that are part and parcel of many modern factory farming facilities.

“Removing those nutrient-dense foods that I needed in my diet precipitated those particular problems in me,” Chris says.

His method is buried deep in a footnote, he provides no references supporting his use of these markers, and most of them didn’t even correlate with animal protein intake within the China Study.

… The first criticism that I made was that Dr. Campbell’s animal experiments were using casein.

In her critique, Minger also made the point that when Dr. Campbell discovered that casein promoted cancer in lab rats whereas wheat protein didn’t, he also found that if you added lysine to the wheat, the wheat became just as powerful a cancer promoter as casein…

“[A] light bulb went off in my head, and I said “Wait a minute, there’s a lot more missing from Dr. Campbell’s description of his rat research than I thought,” Chris says.

“So I went back and analyzed all of Dr. Campbell’s experiments purporting to show that animal protein intake caused cancer in lab animals.

The name of the article is “The Case of Campbell’s Rats: Does Protein Deficiency Protect against Cancer?”

I recommend you read through Chris’ article on this particular aspect, as it further explains why Campbell’s claims can’t be taken at face value.

Campbell also looked at the activities of an enzyme that activates aflatoxin (a carcinogenic mold toxin found in peanut butter) into its carcinogenic form.

He cites an obscure study published by Indian researchers in which they fed animal protein to rats and showed that the animal protein was necessary for aflatoxin to cause cancer.

Those Indian researchers did in fact discover that when rats were fed a low-protein diet they were less likely to get cancer.

“Obviously, it’s far more difficult to make a case for vegetarianism if you tell people that they have to get toxic tissue damage in order to protect themselves from cancer [with a vegetarian diet],” Chris says.

So, whereas Campbell claims he used the low-protein diet to protect the rats from cancer, if you look at the methods, what he actually did was to give them a high-protein diet up until the time that they were given aflatoxin, and then a low-protein diet after they were given aflatoxin.
