This dietary course is quite strict, but it has proven more than once that it can prevent cancer. The Laskin diet is based primarily on the consumption of buckwheat. At the same time, sugar and salt are completely excluded from the diet. Your menu will be rich in vegetables, fruits, nuts and rose hips, which are an excellent source of vitamins and fiber. Dr. Laskin's anti-cancer diet reviews are positive.
Buckwheat, in turn, is enriched with quartzentin - an excellent assistant in the fight against cancer cells. During the course, any dishes made from crab meat are strictly prohibited.
This diet provides two options: strict and more free.
Rules for following the Laskin diet:
1. Eliminate all canned food from your diet. 2. Avoid fried and boiled vegetables. 3. Eat fruits and vegetables fresh, since only in their raw form can they retain the maximum amount of vitamins and nutrients. Red and green vegetables are especially beneficial. 4. Drink at least two liters of liquid (water and tea) per day. 5. Calculate the amount of dietary fiber and fiber consumed.
It is important that fats in your diet make up a maximum of 10% of the calorie content of the food consumed. Moreover, they must be exclusively of plant origin.
The amount of protein per day for women should not exceed 40 grams, and for men - 60 grams.
Replace sugar with dried fruits or a small amount of natural honey. Occasionally consumption of milk and dishes with its addition is allowed. Laskin's anti-cancer diet has positive reviews.
People who benefited from the Laskin Diet
• Patient S, 34 years old. Stage III left breast cancer. I came in after a radical mastectomy (removal of the gland) and radiotherapy. She underwent chemotherapy and was on a 100% grain diet for 3 years. Subsequently, I excluded salt from the diet (only 0.5 grams per day), sugar, and animal proteins. She was examined for 16 years: no metastases appeared.
• Patient M., 38 years old. Stage IV right breast cancer, metastases to the lung. The patient was switched to a 100% cereal diet. Three months later, during a follow-up examination, no metastases in the lungs were detected.
• Patient K., 15 years old, lymphogranulomatosis with damage to the lymph nodes above and below the diaphragm. Six courses of chemotherapy had no effect - the lymph nodes became enlarged. The patient was switched to a 100% grain diet and underwent another chemotherapy session. The patient was on a diet for 24 weeks. Three years later she got married and gave birth to two daughters. Examination 15 years after treatment: no relapse of lymphogranulomatosis was detected.
• Patient I., 58 years old. Prostate cancer with metastases to the pelvic bones, with invasion into the urethra. Severe pain when urinating. When switched to a cereal diet, the pain syndrome was relieved after 7 days. The patient lived without pain for 3 years.
• Patient M., 63 years old. Stage II right breast cancer. Complex treatment. After 9 years, metastases were discovered in the 12th thoracic vertebra with a compression fracture and compression of the spinal cord, flaccid paralysis of both lower extremities. The patient was prescribed a 100% grain diet and treatment with the position of lying on her back on a wooden board. After 6 weeks, the patient stood on crutches and walked. And a year later I came to see a doctor on public transport.
Let us repeat, Laskin usually says: “I do not heal, but prolong a person’s life.” Some are three years old (and hopeless), others are 15-20. Comments, as they say, are unnecessary.
SAVE THE ISLANDS OF LANGERHANS!
Man is a system in which there is nothing superfluous, nothing secondary. Therefore, in the fight for his life, it is important to influence all components of this system, and here, medicinal treatment, psychotherapy, nutrition, and even a restructuring of the worldview are equally important. Yes, precisely worldviews, and nothing less. We have already said that Laskin knows the techniques of psychotherapy, talks with patients for one and a half to two hours, almost never hides the diagnosis (only in hopeless cases), but it is not always possible to convince a person to resort to nutritional therapy in the name of healing.
I ask:
- Why? It’s so easy, and rarely does anyone not like buckwheat. Why does it take so long to persuade? After all, this is not a diet for adjusting your figure in order to make it attractive; here we are most often talking about a choice between life and death.
Answers:
- Yes, this is how a person works: on the one hand, fear when I heard the diagnosis, on the other, hope that everything will somehow resolve itself. In short, on the one hand, my efforts are to convince the person, on the other hand, he still has to convince himself. Do you know what one patient told me? “Rather than chew this buckwheat, I’d rather die with a pickled cucumber in my teeth.”
- Well, this is similar to our Russian prowess: even death is beautiful in the world. However, are the Americans any better? They don’t even have buckwheat.
“They really don’t cultivate or consume buckwheat, but they consume products containing animal protein five times more than is required for the normal functioning of the body. But buckwheat is not a problem, you can buy it in Russian stores, there are now hundreds of them all over America. In addition, there are analogues - brown rice, cinnamon (May) rosehip, and therefore, the point is not in the product, but in the determination to defend one’s right to health and life. If I persuade 5-7 people out of a hundred to go on this healing diet, that’s already good, we can already hope that other people will know about it, believe it, feel it, and join. But let's return once again to the main subject of our conversation.
We talked about the hypothalamus, the subcortical zone of the brain that controls the entire endocrine system. It is worth reminding readers about the pituitary gland, which coordinates the work of the entire endocrine system on orders from the hypothalamus using triple hormones according to the feedback principle. That is, when the amount of a particular hormone is low, the pituitary gland is ordered to produce more of it or vice versa. The rate of metabolic processes is regulated by thyroid hormones, and nature has entrusted the management of energy resources to the growth hormone of the pituitary gland and the islets of Langerhans (we have already mentioned them) of the pancreas, which produce insulin.
So, humans, like many animals, have the habit of eating for future use. However, I don’t know that animals have refrigerators with a supply of food. The feeling of hunger makes the animal move. What happens to a person?
— What are you getting at, Wulf Abramovich?
- To the emergence of another disease as a result of our immoderate and indiscriminate appetite. Listen, when the concentration of glucose in the blood increases above 120 milligrams per 100 grams of blood, the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas begin, on command from the hypothalamic-pituitary center, to produce insulin in an amount dependent on the excess glucose in the blood relative to the norm.
Excess glucose is bound by insulin, and a new substance is formed in the body - glycogen, which is stored in the liver in case of hunger. A reserve of energy is created.
But the feeling of hunger does not occur when we eat three or four times a day. Glucose is supplied in excess all the time. The islets of Langerhans are forced to work at increased speed for years and decades. This non-stop watch leads to the fact that the islets of Langerhans are depleted and no longer produce the amount of insulin that is necessary to bind excess glucose. Its constant excess in the blood occurs - hyperglycemia. And this is diabetes mellitus, a chronic disease; once it occurs, it lives with its owner for the rest of his life. In patients with breast cancer, latent forms of diabetes mellitus occur in 30 percent of cases! That's why I stopped at this disease.
- And what to do in this case?
— The recipe has been known for a long time: eliminate sugar from your diet, replace it with raisins or dried apricots, and the course of diabetes will no longer be so severe. After all, sugar is an artificial product consisting of pentose and glucose molecules. Yes, as a result of digesting sugar, the body receives energy. But the bond of these molecules is so strong that a huge amount of vitamins is required to break them down. I seem to be going away from the main topic, but without understanding the essence of the action of the immune system, you will not understand what depresses it and what restores it, and how this complex system can be controlled. Including through dietary nutrition.
Here's a good example. In the second half of the 90s of the last century, US oncologists suggested that their fellow citizens change the traditional order of eating: first dessert, then the rest of the meal. And they have statistically proven a reduction in the incidence of stomach cancer. But here’s the problem: the number of colon cancer cases has increased exactly the same! And it’s simple: taking dessert “first” speeds up the evacuation of the contents of the stomach, the residence time of carcinogenic substances in the stomach is reduced, but food that is not completely digested by the gastric environment is retained in the large intestine and carcinogenic substances interact with the wall of the large intestine.
That is why it is rightly argued that in economically developed countries the incidence of colon cancer is so high, but, for example, in Africa it is low. What's the matter? Well mechanically and thermally processed food of a “civilized” person (I put it in quotation marks intentionally) contains little plant fiber and vitamins, while in so-called uncivilized countries people eat mainly raw and semi-raw vegetables and fruits, where there is plenty of fiber and vitamins. Therefore, in the first case, the effect of carcinogenic factors is prolonged, in the second, it is shortened.
It has been known for a long time, but we don’t always remember: avoid eating incompatible foods! Vegetables and various herbs (parsley, celery, dill and others) are suitable for meat, poultry, and fish, but potatoes, cereals, and pasta are not suitable. The goal of a healthy diet is to speed up peristalsis so that feces do not linger in the intestines. However, you have written about this several times. It seems that your “Golden Library of Health” published Litvina’s book “Three Benefits,” which was very interesting.
“We still have it in sufficient quantity.” These are all important, but specific. How can the immune system cope with a mutated cell? And what actually depresses the immune system, or, more precisely, can depress it?
— The human environment is filled with billions of single-celled organisms: protozoa, microbes, viruses. Viruses can only live inside a cell. All this numerous environment is divided into saprophytes and parasites. Saprophytes are microorganisms that live in a healthy body, participate in metabolic processes and do not cause disease. Parasites are microorganisms that cause disease. In addition, mutant cells—cells with an error—are formed in the multicellular human body.
To combat external “aliens” and mutant cells, our body has an immune system, the formation of which begins long before the birth of a child and ends in the first half of the second decade of a person’s life.
If the immune system is in a physiological state and is not suppressed, its possibilities are limitless. About 12 billion new cells are formed in the body every day. Of this amount, 80 million cells are mutants. The immune system's job is to destroy these 80 million "wrong" cells within two weeks. If at least one cell survives these two weeks and goes into autonomous development, then cancer develops. The immune system is called upon to stop the “raging” cells, to expel them from the body, for which it is allotted half a lunar month, such a period has been allotted to it by nature.
Now let’s talk about what disrupts the physiological function of the immune system, what depresses it. All this is quite well studied and known.
1. Stress, more precisely, hormones of the adrenal cortex, which are formed as a reaction to stress.
2. All medications: antibiotics, sulfa drugs, all chemotherapy drugs used in oncology. Therefore, after a course of chemotherapy, it is imperative to carry out rehabilitation measures.
3. All antipyretic drugs. Almost all medications are not indifferent to the immune system.
4. Poor nutrition, including overeating.
5. Bad habits: smoking, alcohol. I repeat once again: the tone of the immune system reduces stress, but if a person experiences stressful unrest for two weeks in a row, this is already dangerous. A deep depression of the immune system occurs, conditions arise for mutant cells to escape immune surveillance. They can move into an autonomous existence.
- But how to relieve this damn stress, it’s extremely difficult to persuade yourself?
- Walk as much as possible or do any body movements.
If you are in a serious spiritual condition, you need to take 18-20 thousand steps daily. And when you are lazy and when it rains. People who benefited from the Laskin Diet
First stage of the diet
Dr. Laskin's anti-cancer diet, whose doctors' reviews are mostly positive, implies a duration of compliance with the first stage of 3 to 4 weeks, but it can also be extended for another couple of weeks. Laskin's buckwheat diet recipes are quite simple. For example, in the morning and lunchtime meals you will have to consume a special mixture of rose hips:
- Dissolve one tablespoon of flour in half a glass of water.
- Then add one small spoon of flower honey to the glass.
- You need to eat porridge half an hour before breakfast and lunch.
For breakfast and subsequent meals, you should eat buckwheat:
- Pour half a glass of cereal into 0.5 liters of water.
- Wait until the water boils.
- Cook for 15 minutes.
- Finally, add one tablespoon of fiber.
- Season with olive oil (2 tbsp).
An hour after your morning meal, Dr. Laskin’s buckwheat diet recommends eating a small handful of raisins and drinking a glass of green tea. Don’t forget about freshly squeezed juices, dilute them with clean water.
What's wrong with Dr. Laskin's buckwheat diet?
The world's leading research institutes are developing anti-cancer drugs. But as practice shows, mortality from cancer is not decreasing, but increasing, that they are inventing and treating it is not clear, but a sane person understands why all this is being done.
So what is the unforgivable mistake in Dr. Laskin’s buckwheat diet, what’s wrong? Laskin’s anti-cancer buckwheat diet is gaining popularity in the world not because someone was cured by his diet, which is very doubtful, but because of beautifully written articles by unscrupulous people, written from one source, not supported by facts or evidence. But many people are waiting for a miracle and rush to such articles. Let's look at everything in order.
Who is Laskin V.A.? This is an oncologist who, like all oncologists, tried to cure cancer with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, everyone knows about the results of such treatments, the results are disastrous. It is also said that he was searching for natural remedies that would help prevent cancer and treat its initial stages.
What does he offer? - Buckwheat, or rather porridge made from it!
Let's see, the entire Internet is filled with information that he has developed a very effective, and at the same time very simple buckwheat diet, which is still not clear for what reasons has a powerful therapeutic effect on the body of a cancer patient.
It is claimed that eating a fairly large amount of buckwheat porridge will provide the body with a powerful anti-cancer substance - the flavonoid quercetin. It is said that Dr. Laskin recommends taking 300 grams of buckwheat daily and that this amount of buckwheat contains 24 grams of the powerful anti-cancer flavonoid quercetin. It is said that thus the Laskin buckwheat diet can be considered as a way to treat cancer with large doses of quercetin.
Where did the data come from that the flavonoid quercetin is contained in buckwheat porridge? The question then arises, what guided Dr. Laskin when he carried out many years of research in search of natural remedies to fight cancer?
There are studies of the composition of buckwheat flavonoids conducted in Poland and Korea, which showed the loss of almost all types of buckwheat flavonoids, including the complete loss of quercetin during the industrial production of buckwheat. The most persistent flavonoids, rutin and isovitexin, remain, and then in minimal quantities, and when preparing dishes from buckwheat flour, the destruction of rutin reaches more than 90%.
In order for buckwheat to have medicinal properties, it should not be boiled, but raw, and buckwheat sprouts should be consumed.
The benefit of green buckwheat lies in its unique chemical composition. Also, not only quercetin has a healing effect on the body. Other substances also take part in the treatment of cancer with green buckwheat, which has been proven in China and Korea.
