Dr. Moerman's Anti-Cancer Diet

For the enjoyment of the benefits of civilization, mankind has to pay, including the increase in the number of oncological diseases. Disturbed ecology, artificial additives to food, stress, an abundance of chemicals in a person's environment and many other factors affect the tendency for the growth of malignant tumors. The world medical community is trying to actively resist this onslaught - new methods of prevention and treatment of such diseases are emerging. One of the unconventional methods is the Moerman diet.

Dr. Moerman and his nutritional system

This nutritional system is called the Moerman Anti-Cancer Diet, and was developed over 70 years ago. The creator of the method is a doctor from the Netherlands who has lived a long life. Dr. Moerman lived to be 96 years old, and all this time he helped cancer patients. Researchers of the method cite the following data - out of every 150 cancer patients treated by this doctor, 115 left him completely healthy people.

Representatives of the medical community of that time accepted Moerman's ideas with hostility, believing that it was impossible to defeat the disease and prevent the appearance of cancer by changing the diet - this is too primitive. Apparently they were not familiar with Albert Einstein's dictum that "everything that is ingenious is simple."

It all began with the fact that in 1939 L. Brinkman, suffering from stomach cancer, turned to a doctor for help. Medicine recognized him as a hopeless patient who would not be helped even by a radical operation. Since Brinkman had no alternative, he "grabbed hold of the last straw" - a new method of healing from cancer. The treatment took about a year. It included the intake of a mixture of 8 essential elements and dietary nutrition. In addition, the patient trusted the doctor completely and completely, and believed in success. At the end of 1940, an examination showed that Lindert Brinkman was absolutely healthy, and there was no trace of the tumor. Dr. Moerman's first patient lived for 90 years, and during this time he practically did not get sick.

The doctor, inspired by the successful cure of a hopeless patient, began to work on improving his approach.

Over the next 10 years, he solved the following problems:

• How many vitamins and minerals a person needs;
• What is their optimal ratio;
• What additives should be added to the diet of an oncological patient.

The number of hopeless patients whom he managed to cure increased, and in 1897 his diet was officially recognized by the Dutch Ministry of Health as a method of cancer treatment and prevention. In support of Moerman, the scientist L. Polling, twice Nobel Prize winner, spoke out, calling the anti-cancer diet a unique technique.

The essence of Dr. Moerman's diet

The main goal of the method is to improve metabolism, strengthen immunity.

This goal can be achieved by eating natural products and eating regularly:

• Fruit,
• Vegetables,
• Cereals,
• Natural vegetable and fruit juices;
• Mineral and vitamin supplements for food.

The main thing in cancer treatment is to prevent malignant tumor cells from multiplying. Their ability to grow rapidly is limited by a balanced acidic environment. It encapsulates and destroys atypical cells. Healthy tissue cells of the human body receive enough nutrients, which protects them from transformation into malignant formations.

Dr. Moerman argued that natural products already contain a balanced set of enzymes, acids, minerals, vitamins, fructose. Therefore, not a single vitamin supplement will replace them, and products created at industrial enterprises are artificially devoid of these components.

The diet recommended by your doctor is an indispensable addition to the 8 most important minerals and vitamins. He argued that it was useless to apply his recommendations against the background of a diet consisting of fatty, salty foods high in calories.

The basic rules of nutrition for cancer patients according to Moerman:

• You can eat in accordance with your own regime, but it is strictly necessary to follow the diet;
• Adults should consume 1-2 raw egg yolks daily, children 1 yolk. They are prohibited for liver and gallbladder cancer until the condition of patients improves.
• Be sure to eat 3 lemons every day, or drink juice from the same amount of fruit.
• He can eat the foods recommended to the patient separately or together, choosing them according to his preference from the list of recommendations.
• Meals include at least 3 meals, with alternating hot and cold dishes.

Such a diet can be followed not only by cancer patients, but also by completely healthy people. After several months of following Dr. Moerman's recommendations, they will feel healthy.

The principle of building the menu

3 golden rules of the Moermann diet:

• Do not eat more than you want;
• Food must be thoroughly chewed;
• Food preparation should not destroy vitamins and minerals in their composition.

Vitamins and supplements

These elements are very important for anticancer therapy, each of them plays an exclusive role in the full activity of the human body.

Vitamins and their dosage:

• Vitamin A - take in the morning at a dosage of 50 thousand IU (protects the skin and mucous membranes);
• Vitamin C - take often throughout the day (at least 5 times) at 250 IU (normalizes cellular metabolism, helps to remove toxins);
• Vitamin E - take at least 5 times a day, 80 IU;
• Vitamins B ₁, B ₂, PP - 50-100 mcg (responsible for cellular respiration, carbohydrate metabolism);
• Vitamin B ₆ - 20-50 μg (destroys pathogenic viruses and bacteria, is responsible for protein metabolism);
• Vitamin B ₉ + biotin - 5 μg each (biotin maintains an optimal acid balance in the body);
• Vitamin B ₁₂ - 20 mcg (responsible for blood formation).

Minerals:

• Iodine (3% alcohol solution) - mix 1-3 drops with 300 ml of water, drink 1 tbsp. l. 3 times a day (regulates cell oxygenation and energy production from glucose);
• Citric acid - dissolve 10-15 g in 300 ml of water, drink 1 tbsp. l. 3 times a day (regulates acid balance, thins blood, prevents blood clots);
• Purified sulfur in powder form - mix 500 mg with oil, take in the morning and evening, (responsible for cellular respiration, elimination of toxins).

B vitamins should not be taken on an empty stomach; the first serving is taken after breakfast, accompanied by a glass of fruit juice. The timing of taking vitamins is related to whether they are fat-soluble or water-soluble.

The Moermann diet is founding associations and research organizations to further the study of therapeutic methods. A growing number of healthy people are adopting cancer-fighting diet therapy.
