If you have been diagnosed with cancer or have a long-standing degenerative disease, then stronger measures are generally required to reverse the disease process. Under these circumstances successful treatment depends upon a more thorough detoxification and stringent dietary healing program. By the time chronic symptoms manifest we are dealing with a greater toxic burden and a deeply eroded nutritional status. The general vitality will be reduced and the liver more impaired which can make detoxification and healing more difficult to achieve. A specific dietary protocol is required that ensures reduction of the toxic burden and replenishment of the tissues.  To find out more about the dietary healing program click here  About the Therapy

Why Choose Diet?

The integrity and resistance of the body is dependent upon the diet. What you eat (or digest) today, becomes the cells of tomorrow. Therefore restoring our structure requires adequate amounts of good quality building blocks. It is not so different to the farmer who wishes to restore his soil, its structure weakened through successive chemical treatments (fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides) and no longer able to support healthy crop growth. He will start to rebuild the land by adding organic matter, and planting crops which fix nitrogen (legumes) and detoxify the soil (root crops). It is an active process requiring hard work. Eventually, after several years the land is purged of toxicity and vibrant with life. So it is with the human body; to build integrity and resistance requires commitment and effort over a long period of time; and the deeper the disease, the greater the requirement. 

What Does the Treatment Entail?

The treatment involves a specific dietary regime that is designed to maximize the detoxification potential of the body from the cells to the liver; vegetable juicing; the use of enemas to support liver detoxification; and specific medications.I have prepared a free PDF file for you to download and print out “Dietary Healing: a Simple Reference/Resource Guide for those with Chronic Degenerative Disease or Cancer” which will give an overview of the treatment.

How Long Does it Take?

3 factors are important:

             the length of time you have had the disease

             the spread/existing damage

             treatment received to date

Positive indicators (shorter treatment time) are obviously if you apply the treatment sooner rather than later. Negative indicators will include the extent of spread/damage and the degree of chemical exposure (environmental and medical drugs).  I can only offer a general guideline below:

Cancer

For cancer patients the program takes at least two years, in some patients this may be a little longer. It is important to remember that although you may see a remission of the cancer on this program, it takes longer to completely restore the body. It is only when we have total restoration of the tissues that we can be confident there will be no recurrence of the disease.  

Chronic Degenerative Disease

Many people experience remission of symptoms within a short time frame (1-3 months). The diet supports the healing, but time required to rebuild damaged tissues will determine how long you need to apply the therapy. Some people may find that their body needs this continued dietary support indefinitely and will go on to adopt the basic principles for life.

A dietary healing program is essentially a self-management program and it is therefore important that the patient understands as much of the protocol before embarking on the regime. These workshops have been designed to help you self-manage your program.     Going Home     transcript of a lecture given by Kathryn Alexander to patients at the Meridien Hospital in April 1999   About the Therapy      - a brief outline of the therapy; useful for you to give to your GP or friends/relatives.        The Diet  The Juices     The coffee enema       Medications     - a brief description   Castor Oil and Clay Packs       Flare-ups      Equipment  Practical Issues   In the Home  Resources
