Hello Maheever-
I don't have a camera built into my computer and have never figured out how to do video phone calls on my cell phone. Also, I have not taken medical classes and am only at the sophomore level in science in a community college. All I can help you with is to tell you that my experience with my own cancer and the experiences of others including many famous authors indicates that cancer is principally a deficiency disease and that carrot juice a good way to remove the deficiencies so that the cells can gradually retire the emergency RNA which create an alternative source of energy when the oxidative source of energy loses too much efficiency, and gradually return to normal metabolism. We (including your doctor) are normally only given a cryptic explanation of cancer that hides its real causes and substitutes a false picture of cancer as something that eradication via expensive treatments alone can cure and logical dietary responses do not. They actively pursue patients who have been eating well for their chemotherapeutic trials, then omit acknowledgement of the dietary role in their recovery. A case in point was Barbara, the sole survivor among the 15 initial breast-cancer patients in the first trial for Herceptin. In the book Her-2: The Making of Herceptin, a Revolutionary Treatment for Breast Cancer, author and one-time chief science correspondent for NBC news Robert Bazell tells about how deeply involved she had been with alternative medicine in general and a Gerson clinic in particular and you have to infer that she was actively recruited to be in the initial trial for Herceptin for this reason. From page 82 of Her-2: The Making of Herceptin (1998):
"In August of 1992, she was sitting in one of her Bible-study classes, absently fingering the area around hie neck. She felt a spongy, marshmallow-like growth. "You wonder how you could have something like that in you and not know. The minute I touched it, I knew what it was. I didn 't hear much more of the Bible study that night." A needle biopsy confirmed that her breast cancer had recurred, and a CAT scan turned up a lesion on her lung. [Barbara] Bradfield had progressed to the "treatable but not curable" stage. The recurrence predicted in her original diagnosis had happened. Her doctor suggested she try high-dose chemotherapy, but she would have none of it. "Done with that," she says firmly. "If I'm going to die, I don't want to die bald and throwing up.
"I'm a realist," she says. "I read everything. When the cancer comes back in the lungs and in the lymph glands, then there's not a lot out here to give you hope for that situation. I had seen people who had gone through this chemo, chemo, chemo. They died anyway, but they died so sick. I felt that quality of life with my husband and kids was more important." Then the doctor, who happened to be a member of Slamon's loose network of Los Angeles-area oncologists, presented her with an option. "There's a guy doing a study at UCLA... You want me to send your slides over?" Bradfield didn't pay much attention. "I said, 'I don't care. Go ahead. Sure.' And then I left."
"She proceeded to investigate her options among alternative therapies. ""I didn't feel like I was just opting to give up and die; I felt like I was choosing another method. Chemo hadn't worked for me the first time, so there was no reason for me to think it would work the second time around. I started researching all the clinics in Mexico. I figured my best bet was to detox and then to just work on making my body as strong as possible for as long as possible."
"Returning to the Wellness Community in Pasadena for guidance, she decided to head down to Tijuana, Mexico, to check into a clinic that administers the Gerson program. Devised in the 1940s by a German-born physician named Max Gerson, it is billed as an effort to rid the body of poisons and summon natural healing mechanisms. Patients eat a low-far, vegetarian diet and each day drink a dozen glasses of freshly pressed fruit and vegetable juices. The regimen also requires that the patient have a coffee enema six times a day to speed up the flushing out of the body's toxins. Like many other alternative cancer treatments, the Gerson program offers little hard evidence of its benefits, and the medical establishment has little use for it. But at that point, Barbara Bradfield held the medical establishment in low regard. She sank two thousand dollars into a special juicer and made a reservation to spend three weeks-- at five thousand dollars a week-- at the clinic. Just before she and Dean were to take off, she got the call from Dennis Slamon.
'"He told me that he was doing this study and that my oncologist had sent him my slides and that he had tested them and I was one of the highest expressers of this gene-- Her-2/neu-- that he had seen," she says. He asked her if she would consider being part of his study. She wanted to know if the treatment involved chemotherapy. When he told her yes (his part of the Phase 1 trial combined the antibody with cisplatin, which can cause harsh side effects, like nerve pain and damage), she turned him down and explained that she was on her way to the Gerson clinic. He said he respected her decision and thanked her for her time.
"The next morning, he called her back. "He said, 'I've been thinking about his all night, and you just can't do this' He said, 'What you have is too aggressive and will grow too fast for it to be treated with that kind of a regimen. You need something stronger than food.' " Dean urged her to hear Slamon out. She went to UCLA, where Slamon spent two hours describing the treatment to her. What impressed Bradfield more than the details of the treatment was Slamon's unbridled enthusiasm. "Dennis is very busy and very distracted sometimes, but at this point he was finally getting to test his treatment on human beings, and he was just so excited. Everyone there had this air of anticipation, all the nurses and everyone else who was involved." She agreed to join Slamon's first trial group for the humanized Her-2/neu antibody combined with cisplatin."
The author continues by chronicling that Bradfield's neck tumor was one of 16 lesions she had, which were the only ones visible to group members, and that other group members gauged their progress by hers. He goes on to describe how all the other 14 members of the trial eventually became worse; some were allowed to continue participation in an extension of phase 1 after the first three months but those with bone metasteses were excluded from the trial at that point because they needed special treatments for bone metastasis beyond the purview of the study. Although Slamon said that "between 20 and 30" percent of his group had positive responses, only 3 completed the second 3-month cycle of "[Her-2] antibody and cisplatin".
The author then says "Of the fifteen original volunteers for the Phase 1 study, only Bradfield survived." But she did not come away unscarred. Nor was the trial considered a failure. Bazell continues:
"Repeated tests showed her to be totally cancer free. On each of many follow-up visits to Slamon, she asked what she should do next. Slamon had no precedent to follow. He remembers telling her, "We're where we haven't been before. We've used a new therapy and gotten a complete response with it. In someone who had sixteen to seventeen pulmonary nodules, do we continue the therapy? Do we stop the therapy? Do we stop the chemotherapy and continye the antibody? Do we stop everything altogether? There was no answer"? One thing Slamon could not do was continue giving Bradfield cisplatin. The drug had already left her with nerve pain and hearing loss. More nerve damage would surely follow. So together they decided to try stopping it, Slamon remembers, "knowing that the tumor may come back or it may not."
Continuing, "Bradfield often reflects on why she was the one who survived. Some of her answers are medical. "I think, looking back, that I was stronger than most of them coming into it. I'd been off of chemo for a year and a half, and I had been eating well and taking good care of myself." Other answers are spiritual. "As a Jehovah's Witness, I believe that we get answers to prayers, and we can get guidance. And I believe very strongly that that's what I did, that I was guided to that study."
Several points can be made from these citations. One not to be lost is that this is apparently the only book out there about Herceptin, so every oncologist who has done any homework at all would have received notice from Slamon's admission "We're where we haven't been before. We've used a new therapy and gotten a complete response with it", that before this trial, no therapy had ever delivered a "complete response" no chemotherapy prior to Herceptin had succeeded. It should also be noticed that Slamon himself admits to knowing it. It should also be noted that even without Bradfield's involvement with other therapies, this one "complete response" is no less anecdotal than was mine nor Ann's, nor thousands of others when observed individually. Given Bradfield's involvement with Gerson and her own assessment of her strength relative to other patients, and the extra recruitment engaged in by Dr. Slamon to a study that other participants had to fight to get into, this supposed cornerstone of the chemotherapy industry as it was and is, is especially problematic. This, apparently, is all they've got to justify chemotherapy today. And as you have just seen, it is thin air.
Note too, that NBC's chief science correspondent, Robert Bazell, seems to be playing dumb as well. The times we live in.
Sorry if this isn't what you were expecting. Because of my reading and now my Biochemistry and Organic Chemistry classes at East Los Angeles Community College, I haven't had time to answer or even to check my emails for about a month, but happened to see yours. I will be posting this on my blog. If you or anyone else wants to reach me, drink 5 cups of carrot juice (or more) and call me in the morning. Seriously, is welcome to call me, but I don't have much to say that isn't better said in this blog.

Dear Reader:
I just came across the following comment on the Amazon.com page for Ann Cameron's book Curing Cancer with Carrots which I enjoyed reading very much:
CARROT JUICE WORKS!!! I have 2 tumors on my thyroid that have been steadily growing
for the past year. The larger one has "Irregular Borders" & other unfriendly characteristics &
my doc wanted to biopsy IMMEDIATELY. I refused for fear of "seeding" & because I knew I
would want to avoid 'Cut/Poison/Burn' & didn't want to start that hamster wheel. I began
drinking 1/2 gallon (8 cups) of organic carrot juice every day (10 lbs daily). My recent
ultrasound showed the tumors have shrunk in half & no longer had any concerning
characteristics! My doc is amazed & wants me to continue drinking the carrot juice.
What I did: I drank 1/2 gallon daily because I needed to see if this would work & wanted to
give it my best shot. I bought organic carrots @ $5 for 10 lb bag at Costco. I juiced 3 bags
(30lbs) at a time which provided 1.5 gallons of juice. I drank 8 cups daily over the course of 3
days. Perhaps it would have been better to juice the carrots daily, but it saved a lot of time &
ensured I would have some handy. For the next 6 months I will do a 1 or 2 day supply, as I
think that might be why the tumors are not entirely gone... maybe the levels of falcarinol
deplete over time or are sensitive to oxygenation..? I drank the carrot juice straight and did not
add any other veggies/fruits because of concern that any constituent in another veggie might
counteract the healing quality of the carrot.
What did not work: The year prior to trying carrots I tried various other tactics to get rid of
these tumors. I initially tried water fasting. I did 5 days of water fasting at the beginning of
every month, with a 9 day water fast one month.
During the rest of the days I ate my normal organic foods. (Inspired by the studies done by
Valter Longo & immune system regeneration) Result: the tumors continued to grow. Then I
followed a strict low calorie Ketogenic organic diet with 2 days water fasting/week. (Inspired by
the work on the Metabolic Theory of Cancer by Thomas Seyfried. Result: the tumors continued
to grow. Then I did a 38 day organic Juice Fast with mostly green vegetables. I followed that
with an organic GAPS diet heavy with bone broth & soups/salads. Result: the tumors
continued to grow. Then I went back to following my regular organic diet with 1/2 GALLON
CARROT JUICE daily for 4 months. RESULT: MY TUMORS SHRUNK IN HALF!!!!
I will continue to drink the carrot juice until they are completely gone. Why does my body
require so much carrot juice? Maybe because I was making a 3 day batch at once instead of a
fresh batch daily. Or maybe because I have other physical difficulties with my MTHFR
mutation &/or my hypothyroid. Who knows, but I'm glad this is working!!!
THANK YOU ANN CAMERON!!!"
Here is Ann's response, which was also posted in June (2017):
"I'm so glad carrot juice is working for you... Yes, I think juicing daily rather than once for 3
days, will give you better results. I've just posted your review on my facebook site Curing
Cancer with Carrots. Thanks a lot for taking time to describe your experience.
Ann Cameron"
I recently finished reading The Iodine Crisis by Lynne Farrow about how our food supply has become
iodine deficient because of nutrient depletion in the soil and the replacement of iodine by bromine in
flour and animal feed following a false report in the 1970s that iodine in the diet deactivated the
thyroid. Citing a previous book about iodine by Dr. David Brownstein she says that the FDA
recommendations for iodine are based on what is necessary to prevent goiter and grossly understate the
amount necessary for optimal health. They and others suggest 2 drops of Lugol's solution, which has
both iodine and potassium iodide, the two forms of iodine that the body requires that are not
interchangeable, or sea salt as dietary supplements to offset iodine deficiency. As you, I have become
suspicious that cancer is predominately a deficiency disease, and that although carrot juice is able to
make up for many dietary deficiencies, the cancer patient may have deficiencies that five cups of carrot
juice per day does not fully address. Iodine deficiency may be one of these. Data I have found
regarding the mineral content of carrot juice would indicate that magnesium deficiency may be another.
It should be kept in mind that deficiencies often take months to correct. From Magnificent
Magnesium: Your Essential Key to A Healthy Heart and More! by Dennis Goodman, MD: P.149:
"Keep in mind that magnesium, like all other nutrients, works from the inside out, meaning that its
benefits begin at the cellular level and start to become more outwardly apparent once the health of the
cells improve. This means that you may not notice any benefits initially. Be patient. Depending on
your current health condition, it may be a few months or more before you notice all of the
improvements that magnesium provides to your heart and overall cardiyovascular system, as well as to
your muscles, immune system, nervous system, and other areas of your body."
Lynne Farrow said the same thing about iodine in The Iodine Crisis.
If you have had any experience in diagnosing or addressing either of these deficiencies, your feedback
would be greatly appreciated.
There is no such thing as a cure for an illness that fails to eliminate the cause of that illness. Carrot juice
has demonstrated that it addresses many, if not all, the causes of cancer, but some better than others.
When a cause can be identified which can more easily be remedied another way, there is no reason not
to. But cancer was shown to be triggered by metabolic slowdown in the cell by Otto Warburg. The
resultant acidity causes the nucleus to different sections of the coiled DNA capable of utilizing the
accumulating toxins for energy. These changes are what traditional medicine calls "genetic mutations",
but in fact they are the result of the true causes of cancer and are the cell's defense mechanism in
response to them. Thomas Seyfried demonstrated that metabolic changes in the cell cause these
"mutations" and not vice versa, by showing that changing the nucleus in a cancer cell did not cure the
cancer, but replacing the cytoplasm in a cancer cell to healthy cytoplasm did.
My point is that since there can be metabolic slowdown can be caused by anything in the cell that there
is too little of or too much of, cancer must be multi-causal also. Don't assume that there is always single
"perfect cure" out there. The rate of metabolism in the cells depends upon everything being in the
right proportion-- not too much and not too little. Many things have gone missing from our food supply
over the last 100 years or so, and there is no reason to think that carrot juice has enough of everything
that every person with cancer needs to get well immediately. For that matter, when something is
missing the space doesn't just remain vacant, but will sometimes fill with whatever is available that fits
the best, like the bromides that slip in where iodine belongs. Even when the right minerals become
available, it might take months to dislodge the imposters with the minerals that work correctly to
restore proper metabolism. And once the "epigenetic switch" has been thrown, conditions inside the
cell may become locked in until the cell becomes overabundant with the materials that favor a return to
a healthier metabolism, that is, to the set of hydrogen bonds favoring the recoiling of DNA strands so
that the proteins appropriate for a normal metabolism can again be formed.
Carrot juice has shown that it can redress many of the shortcomings of the Standard American Diet.
For many, 5 cups (or one cup per 30 lbs.) per day does the trick. by itself. But if it does not give you
immediately observable results, it will always be providing unseen benefits. And even if for some
reason that amount does not ultimately turn out to be enough to get shrinkage, it will at least be a step
in the right direction, a platform to build on. The email from the woman above attests to that.
On a different topic, if you sent me an email recently and are waiting to hear from me, I'm sorry. My
internet service has gotten so slow I finally had to give up on answering emails until it gets fixed.
Hopefully that will be soon. In the meantime I have been able to get a number of books read that I had
been wanting to get to for a long time. I apologize for the inconvenience.
Best wishes,
Ralph (Los Angeles, CA, USA; (213) 909-8270)
PS: Stop cooking with cooking oil! It may turn out that cooking oil is responsible for most of our
cancer epidemic. Even olive oil is bad! It seems like everybody that calls me is cooking with olive oil.
Even butter is said to be healthier. Read post 19 to learn how margarine, shortening, and cooking oil
causes cancer. Better yet, get a copy of The Queen of Fats by Susan Allport from the library or used on
ebay.com or amazon.com before they disappear. For some reason the libraries appear to be throwing
them out. After I read it, I bought several copies on ebay to give to friends for about $4 each. When
they are gone I am afraid there will be nothing as effective to replace them for a long time.
Here is a related quote I found recently in a book by Joel Fuhrman, M.D.: Fasting and Eating for
Health (1995, p.38) about triglycerides (fats and oils):
"Low blood levels of beta carotene and Vitamin C have been linked in multiple studies with increases
in cancer mortality, including breast cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, and colon cancer. A recent
study in the medical journal Nutrition in Cancer revealed that patients who had a low beta carotene
level in their blood in conjunction with a high triglyceride level had a more than tenfold increase in
the risk of breast cancer." (emphases added).
That seems to be saying that the huge increases in omega-6 fats and oils in our diet starting with Crisco
in 1906 together with too few (yellow?) vegetables in our diet may be responsible for the 1000%
increase in cancer over the last 100 years. I don't remember ever hearing about this. Do you?

Dear Ralph,
Thanks for helping people to cure the cancer. I need your help very much. Please help me.
My grandfather has been diagnosed with bladder cancer two years ago. Since then he has undergone three operations (By burning the tumors inside the bladder). While he has no tumor on the bladder right now, cancer has spread to the lungs and the liver. He is 86 years old. I’ve just read the book Curing Cancer With Carrots and I have questions about drinking carrot juice, can you help me please?
1) Could you tell me as for now how many people have beaten cancer by drinking carrot juice?
2) Because many people ask you questions and tell you that they started drinking carrot juice, please can you tell me a rough estimate about how many percentage of people beat cancer who start drinking carrot juice?
3) In your reply to the Linda Sanchez question you said that “Carrot juice is the only thing that worked for me. The amount it takes depends on a number of things including weight, liver condition, and apparently, omega-3s in the cell walls, according to Susan Allport, whose book The queen of Fats, I just finished reading.”
As I have stated cancer has spread to my Grandfather’s liver also. Does this mean that my Grandfather has to drink over 5 cups of carrot juice or less?
(He is 150 pounds and as I know for every 30 lb I should give him a one cup of carrot juice. I assume that 5 cup of carrot juice is his recommended dose while not taking account his liver condition and omega 3-s in the cell walls)
4) I’ve read the article (https://www.cancertutor.com/rawfood/) that states that “too much Vitamin K can contribute to the creation of blood clots in some situations. No more than 25 percent to 30 percent of a person's diet should consist of foods high in Vitamin K.”
Because carrots are rich in vitamin K, can drinking about 1000 ml of carrot juice cause blood clotting? My grandfather has leg cramps at night, could you tell me if blood clotting may cause complications?
5) I’ve read that one can get vitamin A overdose, if one consumes vitamin A in large amounts. (http://www.healthline.com/health/hypervitaminosis-a#overview1). Did anybody have vitamin A overdose who drink carrot juice to beat the cancer?
6) The article I’ve mentioned says that 900 mcg (micrograms) of vitamin A is a recommended daily dose. Can you tell me roughly how many mcg vitamin A is in a 5 cup of carrot juice?
7) I don’t want to do anything harmful to my Grandfather in the 4th stage of the cancer. Aside of that he is 86 years old. Because many people have told you that they started drinking carrot juice to beat the cancer, could you tell me what side effects they faced, or what complications they had?
8) Have you heard of someone who cured bladder cancer metastases by drinking carrot juice?
English is not my native language, sorry if some parts of the text is difficult to understand. If you want me to clarify something, please tell me.
Thank you so much!!!
Looking forward to your reply. Please keep my name confidential or use a pseudonym if you put this in your blog.

Hello MB-
The Gerson Clinic charges patients $6,000 per week to learn to cure themselves, basically with carrot juice. Although no one ever knows if they are entirely cancer free, reports from those that report that they are juicing carrots indicate that any amount is able to slow cancer growth, and that one cup per 30 lbs. of body weight per day is enough to stop or shrink tumors about 75% of the time, and twice that amount per pound seems to work about 90% of the time. I do not have statistics because reporting is entirely optional, and consequently, most people don't. When I succeeded with carrot juice I knew only one person that had even tried. The same is true for Ann Cameron, the first person that reported back to me.
Carrot juice is probably the healthiest food on the planet. I have just finished reading The Pleasure Trap by Douglas Lisle that claims that a water-only fast is able to clear almost all chronic conditions, but they don't promise that it can cure cancer. They say that rest and a clean-water fast is what our genes are programmed to do to fix our health, and cite the evolved behavior of all of our animal-cousin species as evidence that our evolution has also favored this. Therefore, I would not assume that carrot juice is superior to a water-only fast when there are complicating factors like kidney problems. In addition, the Gerson Clinic reports that sometimes detoxication is required when there is kidney or liver damage. So if carrot juice is not working well from the beginning, you may want to switch to a water fast for awhile.
The weight a patient loses during a water fast is fat, which is where toxins often accumulate. So converting fat to energy may help the body to release accumulated toxins. A fast can last two weeks or even a month or more before stored fat is eliminated (according to Herbert Shelton in The Myth of Medicine which I have started reading), which means that filtered (clean) water even alone can go a long way toward enabling the body to heal itself. In the case of cancer, I suspect that it might also now be caused in part by nutritional deficiencies of our food supply both because of loss of soil quality and because of food processing which removes or desroys important nutrients in order to extend shelf life and lower costs [for an example of this, see the article about omega-3s that I put on Post 19 of cancerisover.blogger.com]. If so, I would suggest that carrot juice works in part because it still has sufficient amounts of those nutrients now largely missing from our diet, which of course water by itself can't replace.
I can't speak personally for water fasts, but as far as carrot juice goes, I am comfortable in saying that any amount is better than no amount, and since almost all cancer is dietarily incurred, it will be the best food he can take. As for detoxification, a water-only fast could possibly be even better, but at this point I have nothing specific to go on except the evolutionary evidence provided above and the experience summarized by Charlotte Gerson in "Healing the Gerson Way."
Please let me know what your Grandfather does and how what he does is working for him.
Thank you for the call.

Dear Ralph,
I give u the update if my wife situation. Last few weeks when we started to drink 5 cups carrots juice a day. I notice that her condition begin stable because she less use of oxygen while breathing. But this week she feels no appetite and begin swelling of her right hand, right leg and her tummy begin bloated it also have edema. Do i need increase the carrots juice intake of my wife. What do you think about the edema possible the carrots juice will cure.
Thanks & Regards,
Ernesto
Hello Ernesto-
I'm sorry I haven't been able to keep up with my emails. How is your wife doing now? Has the edema gone down?

Hello Ernesto-
Usually carrot juice lessens pain. It is doubtful that it is responsible for making it worse. Carrot juice empowers the immune system in a number of ways, but principally it cleans and repairs the organs at the cellular level. So unlike drugs which often target symptoms thereby making the patient think he is getting better, the changes carrot juice is responsible for are healthy ones that need to be made. You can certainly adjust the amount of carrot juice to increase her comfort, but you might find that the pain is independent of the amount of carrot juice she is drinking, and decreasing it only postpones recovery without lessening her discomfort. It could also be that the liver or other organs are congested and the breakdown of cancer cells is releasing toxins that are not being cleared fast enough to keep up, in which case caution and/or a liver cleanse might be in order. See Post 17 of cancerisover.blogger.com for Andreas Moritz's discussion of this possibility and what he suggests when this is the case.
Thank you for the update. Please keep us posted.

Dear sir,
I am a resident of Assam, India. My mother was suffering from chest pain and after a CT scan and biopsy it was found to be stage 4 lung cancer. Doctor said that chemo won't work and recommended medicines.
But I found out via surfing the internet that carrot juice can cure stage 4 cancer even. And it should be taken for about 2.5kg a day. But another thing is that my mother had diabetes few months ago but now its normal.
Is it healthy to consume carrot juice of that quantity or you suggest some other way?
I would be greatly obliged if you kindly take out your valuable time to reply to my message.
I am attaching the reports.
Thanking you.

Dear P.,
I suggest you get my book Curing Cancer with Carrots, available in India from amazon India, as an e-book, for lots of useful information. Since your mother isn't diabetic now, and cancer is more serious, I suggest she try the carrot cure for 6 weeks, while monitoring her blood sugar. If at the end of 6 weeks a test shows no improvement, it would be time to try something besides carrot. Turmeric as golden milk, 1 cup warm full-fat milk with 12 grams turmeric, a spoonful of honey, and a gram of black pepper, with breakfast and dinner, might help, too.

Hello Ann,
Hope you're doing well. I an writing you after a long time.
Hope you remember I discussed with you regarding cervix cancer which was diagnosed one year ago but I didn't go for any treatment, not even scan because after I came to know the benefit of carrot juice I started taking for more than six months and I don't feel any abnormalities at all.
Two weeks ago I had been to the doctor for smear test and he advised for colposcopy which I got it done last week, also I had two biopsy done. Today I went to see the doctor and I have been advised for MRI scan of the pelvis. They are not able to tell me anything clearly about abnormalities. I have attached the report for your reference please. If this is not readable for you then I will type it in next email. Can you please read the report and if you are able to understand anything from the report. Next week I have MRI to be done, then only the doctors can come to any conclusion. They only informed me that cancer is growing very slowly.
I have stopped taking carrot juice since 4-5 months. Also I don't feel any type of pain in any part of my abdomen or womb. I need your kind help on this please. I am getting very much nervous and depressed.
Kind regards
Nikhat

Dear Nikhat,
To know if carrot juice is reducing the cancer, you need to have the doctors' evaluation of your original scans and how you are now. You can take conventional treatments and also benefit from carrot juice for pain reduction. It is very good to know that the cancer is progressing only very slowly and that you have no pain.
Best,
Ann Cameron

Hello Nikhat-
The carrot juice can get rid of your cancer like it did Ann Cameron's and mine, but you it takes a substantial amount over a significant time, with an extra period after it becomes undetectable of about 2 months to make sure you've gotten it down to where your immune system can control it or it is gone entirely. If you wait until the pain comes back it will be that much harder to get rid of, so it is better to just make juicing carrots a daily habit until the doctors give you an all-clear. Life is a lot more fun when you know everything is under control.
Please let us know what you do.
Best wishes,
Ralph

Hi Nikhat - I, like you, was diagnosed with colon cancer last year March 2016 and God through carrots cured me. I had no conventional treatment either. What I am doing, though is to continue to juice 2-3 times per week 2 kilos of carrots, I may go back to 4 times per week. I feel like it's a booster shot to keep the cancer away. As Ann and Ralph advise, I would continue juicing carrots until the doctors say you're free and clear! Elise

Hello Pravin-
5 cups of carrot juice per day cured a recurrence of my squamous cell cancer following 40 rounds of radiation on my neck and 2 cycles of chemotherapy and 3 cups of carrot juice had apparently gotten rid of the original tumors. If I had started out with the 5 cups per day I am sure I could have gotten rid of my original tumors without the chemo and radiation and the damage they caused.
Be sure you go an extra 2 months past disappearance so that you have a good chance of preventing a recurrence. I did that the second time and its been gone 11 years now.
Visit my posts 17 thru 20 at cancerisover.blogger.com for information I recently came across reading that could be quite helpful for you.

Hi Ralph and Ann,
My husband is going on week two of juicing. My husband openly admitted that the carrot juice has been the only thing to date since his colon cancer surgery that has helped with the constipation. He has been drinking 64 ounces of organic carrot juice a day (found the organic carrots at Sams Club for super cheap). He weighs 252 so I figured it would be about 8 cups (64 ounces) per day. I feel so optimistic about this carrot juice as I have done extensive research on the benefits of carrots and now I have joined my husband with drinking the juice, except I'm only drinking one cup per day. He began chemo today and in 2 months will endure another scan, I'm hoping for good results. I will keep you posted.

Dear Yogesh-
Regardless of what else you do or even if you do nothing else, get a juice extractor and juice carrots every day. 5 cups of carrot juice per day shrinks cancer about 75 % of the time in average-sized people. If your liver is involved or your immune system is depressed, it will likely take longer and as much as twice as much per day, but if you are able to drink enough, there is always some amount able to reverse cancer.
Please give me more information about your condition and what you are doing, and take a look at my blog, cancerisover.blogger.com, the most recent posts in particular.

hello ralph , ann
I am Swati from India. My father is suffering from adenoid cystic carcinoma in salivary gland which has already spread into lungs. He is taking chemotherapy and 2nd chemo was on 29th of july.
His height is 5.5 feet and weight is 62 now. He started drinking 1.5 ltrs of carrot juice everyday on 10th june. Is it sufficient? First we are cleaning carrots with water and then with vinegar to remove pesticides.
Can we add turmeric with the juice? Can he eat vegetables or fruits, which contain high glucose but doesn't have cancer killing property? Can he eat jaggery?

Hello Swatishree-
The amount of carrot juice that it takes to get tumor regression varies and must be determined by trial and error. In general, the more carrot juice drunk, the better it works, and the sooner results appear. If his condition worsens despite the 1.5 liters per day, then he may require more per day.
Turmeric is good, but it is said to have limited bioavailability when taken directly. Dr. Russell Blaylock recommends taking 500 mg of curcumin in a tablespoon of olive oil 3 times per day. Both canola oil and flaxseed oil have much higher ratios of omega three fatty acids in them, which would seem to me to make them a better choice since our bodies tend to be omega 3 deficient. On the other hand, natural turmeric in combination in combination with carrot juice as you are doing it may be just as good or even better. See post 15 for the story of how an acquaintance of Ann Cameron named Irma was able to cure her cancer with turmeric and carrot juice.
You may also want to visit Post 20 on cancerisover.blogger.com for more of Dr. Blaylock's recommendations.

With 4 rounds of chemo and targeted therapy egfr chemo tablets, brain [cancer] was completely gone with [a] few others. Two more in both lungs and lymph nodes were stable. On 10th November 2016, PET scan showed three new growths. She started drinking 3 cups of carrot juice daily from 11th Nov 2016 and gradually increased to 5 glasses by November end. March 2017 PET scan showed mild regression in two of the three new tumors and rest were all stable. March and April she was having anywhere between 1250ml to 1600ml of carrot juice. From 20th May to 20th June the juicing was 500 - 800 ml daily as due to excessive heat the carrots get spoiled and unavailability of carrots. Again from 20th june she started having 1250ml or 5 cups. During this period from March till June, she has had lots and lots of mangoes. Like daily two.

Hello Bhawna-
I am sorry for not being able to respond sooner.
I am happy to hear your mother has increased carrot juice to 8 cups per day. The mixed result may be entirely because of the month she decreased carrot juice intake to 2-3 cups per day because of the heat. In any case, perhaps she should also give up the mango juice. I am not sure about this, but possibly it is doing more harm than good because of the sugar. In general, fruits and fruit juice have this problem, and we often advise people to switch all fruit and fruit juices to additional carrot juice. This generally works best.
As far as the amount of turmeric, I am in the middle of a really good book that has specific dietary recommendations for cancer patients that look like they might be very helpful. The author's name is Russell Blaylock, MD, and the book is
Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients (2003). He is a neurosurgeon who had over 20 years experience avoiding and countering cancer treatment symptoms nutritionally at the time he wrote the book. The following is from page 104 of his book, near the end of his chapter on chemotherapy titled "Chemotherapy: Poisoning Cancer (and You)" :
"So, what can be done to protect the nervous system from [chemotherapy] treatments? The main things from which you want to protect the brain are free radical damage and DNA damage. Within the brain, many types of free radicals can be produced, requiring a multitude of antioxidants for protection. A good nutritional program to follow is:
- Take 200 milligrams of alpha-lipoic acid twice a day with meals throughout your treatment and for three weeks afterward. Then take 100 milligrams twice a day thereafter.
- Take 500 milligrams of curcumin three times a day. Dissolve the contents of one capsule in one tablespoon of extra virgen olive oil. Curcumin has a slight anticoagulant effect, so it should not be combined with aspirin or anticoagulant drugs.
- Take 500 to 1,000 milligrams of quercetin three times a day with meals.
- Take 175 milligrams of milk thistle every day.
- Take 160 to 320 milligrams of ginkgo biloba every day on an empty stomach. Ginkgo has been shown to increase brain blood flow. Do not take ginkgo with blood thinners.
- Take 400 international units of vitamin E succinate three times a day.
- Take 750 milligrams of magnesium ascorbate three times a day.
- Take 300 milligrams of magnesium citramate three times a day. Magnesium plays a major role in protecting the brain and heart.
- Take 120 to 240 milligrams of CoQ10 twice a day starting at least one week before beginning your therapy and continuing for three weeks after completing it.
- In addition to the above, discuss with your doctor the possibility of receiving reduced glutathione, which has been shown to protect nerves from cisplatin toxicity. This must be administered intravenously to be absorbed effectively, however."
For purposes of comparison, below are Dr. Blaylock's general recommendations for those receiving radiation treatments for cancer. The following is a compilation of three of his lists which indiviually deal with increasing the effectiveness of the radiation, decreasing the resultant damage to healthy cells, and decreasing the resultant damage to blood vessels:
- Take curcumin as above.
- Take 1000 mg magnesium citramate three times daily, on an empty stomach (between meals). He adds, "Magnesium plays a vital role in endothiel cell function. It also offers mjor protection of the brain and heart."
- Take vitamin E succinate as above.
- Take 120 milligrams of Ginkgo Biloba daily.
- Take 300 milligrams of decaffeinated green tea extract twice a day with food. He adds, "This supplement helps prevent iron absorption."
- Take 200 micrograms of selenomethionine every day.
- Take 25 milligrams of zinc every other day.
- Take a multivitamin-and-mineral capule without iron or copper every day.
- Take alpha lipoic acid as above.
- Take 5 ml of ashwaganda (Withnia somnifera or "Indian ginseng"depressant drugs.
- Take 25,000 international units of mixed carotenoids (extracted from the algae D. salina) twice a day.
Note that the above lists are from Dr. Blaylock's book, and are not based on anything I used. I find Dr. Blaylock's book and suggestions credible in part because he is extremely critical of his peers for failing to make available nutritional information to their patients that could increase the effectiveness of their treatments while decreasing the injuries inflicted by them substantially. There is undoubtedly much within his years of experience as condensed above of potential benefit to all cancer patients regardless of the level of their involvement (or lack of it) with conventional medicine.
Although Dr. Blaylock does talk about the curative ability of carrot juice like I do, he comes close. Note, if you haven't already, his recommendation of mixed carotenoids at the end of the list above. Later in the same chapter of his book he goes into details about his recommendations that indicate that carotenoids may be of special if not exceptional significance. I found the following passage of particular interest considering he is a "board-certified neurosurgeon":
"It is important to remember that the nutrients listed on page 113 [of his book
Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients] act one way with normal cells and in the opposite way with cancer cells, making the cancer cells more sensitive to the radiation and the surrounding normal cells more resistant to the radiation. This differential effect was dramatically demonstrated by Dr. Stanley Levenson and his coworkers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine using mice implanted with tumor cells [footnote: From Levenson et al, in Butterworth CE, and Hutchinson ML (eds),
Nutritional Factors in the Induction and Maintenance of Malignancy, Academic Press, Inc., 1983, pp. 169-183.]
"First, Dr. Levenson established that supplementation with beta-carotene could dramatically increase the survival rate of normal mice exposed to whole-body radiation as compared to mice not given supplements. In fact, at the higher doses of radiation, the mice consuming a high-beta-carotene diet lived more than four times longer than the mice consuming a regular diet. The researchers then treated the mice with implanted tumors with 3,000 rads of radiation, a very high dose, to the area of the tumor. The mice that had been given high-dose beta-carotene or vitamin A demonstrated considerably more tumor killing than the controls. In fact, the tumors in the mice given the vitamins plus radiation all regressed completely, with less than 10 percent reappearing later. The tumors in the mice fed regular chow without regular beta-carotene also regressed, but all returned, eventually killing the mice.
"The protective effect of the radiation plus beta-carotene or vitamin A prevented the return of the tumors throughout the experiment, which was terminated one year later. The beta-carotene was found to be more effective than the vitamin A. Of great surprise to the researchers was that
in the mice given the vitamin supplements, the radiation caused all of the tumor cells to die or become dormant, but it barely affected the surrounding normal cells. This was not the case in the radiated animals not given the vitamin supplements. In these mice, the normal cells surrounding the tumors were damaged by the radiation." [italics are mine]
In closing, one wonders why beta-carotene did not rapidly become the chemo co-treatment of choice for radiation therapy. Perhaps it didn't have the same effect upon people that it had upon Dr. Levenson's mice. Alternatively, perhaps it had something to do with the risk that someone might discover that the radiation wasn't even a necessary part of the cure, as I and many others have found to be true when the bet-carotene comes in the form of carrot juice.
I hope this helps.
Best wishes,
Ralph
