"An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure."
Organic, organic, organic. That is the mantra that you will
hear. However, there are two aspects to nutrition. One
is
what
you eat, the other is
the quality of what
you eat. Maintaining a healthy body thus involves making
choices about food that

grave with a knife and fork”.
There are about as many diets out there as there are human
beings. My personal experience is that finding the right
nutrition is similar to all other complementary and
alternative therapies; the diet needs to be adapted to the
individual metabolic needs of the patient. Therefore we
tend to favor a form of metabolic nutritional regime which
in its least individualised form can be seen in the Blood
Type diet of D’Adamo, more differentiated in the 12
metabolic types of Nicholas Gonzales, and the Metabolic
diet of Bill Wolcott. Of course, diets in the Ayurvedic and
Chinese medical traditions are individualised as part of
their regular diagnostic and treatment programs and
relevant specialists should be consulted.

Dr. Gonzalez's dietary program, as well as most of the
metabolic dietary program, is based on Dr. Kelley, who
cured himself of pancreatic cancer in 1973.

Macrobiotic Diet
I include this
diet because of its popularity in the Arab world (as
promoted by Miriam Nour) – generally it is considered a
cancer prevention diet rather than a cancer therapy diet.
There have been some variations introduced to the diet
since its inception. I have provided a few links which
explain the diet and one link that shows the problems with
the strict application of the original Kushi diet,
especially in already debilitated cancer patients.
