Dr. Sears the famous pediatrician and author who lived through his own battles with colon cancer and the treatment has the following advice for cancer patients on eating: Not eating spurs a vicious cycle. You become weaker, deplete your immune system, and get sicker from medicines and treatments meant to make you well.
He suggests making a large smoothie from a list of healthy foods that help to fight cancer and turning them into a smoothie. You would then sip on the smoothie all day. When the body can't tolerate whole food, it will usually accept small sips of liquefied foods allowing you to keep them down. Some of the foods he suggests you use in your smoothie are:
- carrot juice
- pomegranate juice
- grape juice
- unsweetened organic Greek-style yogurt
- blueberries and/or strawberries
- fruits such as bananas, pineapple, mango, kiwi
- tofu
- ground flaxseed
- wheat germ
- cinnamon
- green vegetable juice
- peanut butter
- dates
- organic spinach
- sunflower seeds (adds extra vitamin E and provides calories, usually needed for cancer patients
