Food Therapies for Radiation and Chemotherapy Toxicity

10/4/2012

For those who are going through chemotherapy or radiation therapy, there are some food therapies which can help protect against some of the devastating side  effects of these therapies.  

Wheat or barley-grass juice powder can be taken to counteract the effects of radiation and detoxify the residues of chemotherapy.

Aloe gel can help heal skin inflammation from radiation.

Because apples contain pectin, they can help remove toxic metals such as lead, mercury, and the residues of radiation.  

Fennel seeds, made into tea, or a few seeds consumed after thorough chewing, can effectively sooth an upset stomach caused by either therapy.

The herb astragalis can improve the recovery time from both chemotherapy and radiation, according to Chinese studies.

A diet primarily of grains, vegetables, seaweeds, legumes, sprouts, herbs micro-algae, omega-3 foods and oils are recommended.   Whole fruit, not their juices, are eaten in moderation. Seaweeds are taken, unless there is diarrhea.

The recommended proportions of foods in the daily diet for those with cancer and other degenerative diseases is
  • 45% grains
  • 35% vegetables
  • 10% fruit
  • 5% beans and other legumes
  • 5% other foods
  • Fish or other animal products may be necessary.
