Risk Factors for Colon Cancer:
In some countries where colon cancer is unknown, the diet consists chiefly of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
The dietary fiber intake is 12 to 15 grams a day. In this country, where colon cancer is high, many people consume
an average of 3 to 5 grams of fiber a day. Low-fiber animal products are suspect. A lifestyle that encourages diabetes
will also encourage cancer, as more cancers occur in diabetics.
The following may increase the risk of developing colon cancer:
High meat diet
High fat diet
Low fiber diet
Long "transit time" for intestinal digestion
Aromatic spices, pepper, ginger, etc.
Alcoholic beverages
Beer consumption increases the risk of rectal cancer.
Previous cancer of breast, colon or endometrium.
Eating between meals and eating more than two meals a day.
Treatment Regimens:
The objectives of the following treatment regimens for cancer are to improve circulation to and oxygenation
of the cells, to change the intestinal flora with a high fiber diet, to discourage cancer cell growth with hot baths,
to stimulate the immune mechanism for cancer resistance, and to combat toxins which cause anemia and loss
of appetite.
A lack of exercise, irregularity in sleep and eating times and a diet high in protein, refined sugars, grains, and oils
are all associated with a greater risk of cancer. Fats are repeatedly incriminated in medical reports as being likely
to promote cancer when used in large quantities. Animal experiments indicate a much higher incidence of cancer
from high protein diets. There are some encouraging results from treating leukemic children with a low protein diet.
