Health Tips - How To Fight Lung Cancer By Eating Natural Food High in Phyto Chemicals
Dr. Wu claims have survived lung cancer through a drastic change of diet some years ago when
he was just 30 years old. Sounds unbelievable,
yes? But apparently, his survival is well documented
when he went on to obtain a Doctorate in the US for alternative medicine in naturopathy and nutrition.
CANCER SURVIVOR DR TOM WU'S RECIPE FOR GOOD HEALTH
(Cancer, Diabetes, & Heart Disease can be overcome through diet. Dr. Tom Wu’s
breakthroughs with Cancer & Diabetes have earned him the “Remarkable Contribution
Award” from the American Cancer Society and the “World Famous Doctor Award”
from The United Nations. )
At the age of 30, Chinese doctor Tom Wu was diagnosed with advanced stages of lung
cancer, and was told he had only a few months to live. Not only has he survived, but the
doctor has maintained a healthy life. The cancer is all gone, and he said he's never caught
a cold or other illness for 40 years. He has stopped going for blood tests.
"My body and feelings tell me I'm well, that I'm truly in good health," says Dr Wu.
His secret lies in the power of natural healing. Dr Wu always says that no wonder drug
can cure diseases. But our own internal healing power, our immune system, can. And
what can strengthen our immune system are simple foods from Mother Nature, and a
healthy lifestyle. In his view, diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease can be
overcome by changing the diet.
Dr Wu says people get sick because they eat the wrong foods. Fried food, for example,
causes blockage in the arteries, bad circulation, cholesterol, and heart disease. "Instead of
taking a cholesterol lowering drug, I would urge them to stop eating greasy food.. My
suggestion is to eat clean food, which is high in phytochemicals," he says.
Phytochemicals are natural cleansing agents that will help rid plaque from your arteries.
They come from natural foods such as vegetables, fruits with their seeds, and common
garden herbs. Phytochemicals will nourish the body's cells so they can fight against any
foreign substances that invade your body.
The secrets of how he won the fight against lung cancer and maintains a healthy body are
revealed in his first book, Dr Wu's Principle of Natural Cures, which has recently been
translated from its original Chinese version into a Thai edition, Thammachart Chuay
Chewit, published by Nanmeebooks Publications. It was launched in Thailand in March
this year.
Dr Wu had first studied Western medicine in France , and then furthered his education in
alternative therapy, earning a doctorate degree.
The turning point arrived when he was diagnosed with lung cancer at the age of 30.
Modern medicine gave him no hope; it was too late to remove the damaged parts of the
lung. The cancer had already spread to other organs, and the doctor told him he had only
a few months left.
He ate a lot of vegetables and fruits, drank clean water, and completely adjusted his
lifestyle - his sleeping, breathing and exercise habits.
Nine months later, he went for a check-up, and surprisingly no cancer cells were
detected.
He advised people in his family and in the neighbourhood about his discovery, and
studied natural medicine until he received a doctorate degree in naturopathy and nutrition from the US ...
Dr Wu has been a frequent speaker at worldwide forums, spreading his knowledge on
natural cures and the use of organic food. He advises people to use the most simple foods
in the most natural way in order to fight illnesses and maintain good health.
The human body has the power to heal itself. The immune system has a self-defence
mechanism to block and destroy bacteria or viruses that invade our bodies, while the selfhealing
mechanism will get us back on the road to recovery. When you have a cold and
take medicine, the medication may kill the virus but your immune system will not fully
function, and its efficiency will decrease. As a result, your body will be more vulnerable
to germs.
Dr Wu's principle is to strengthen the immune system, and avoid medication as much as
possible. In his book, he offers the following guidelines to good health:
1. Have at least three bowel movements a day.
Other health experts may advise one bowel movement a day, but Dr Wu says that's not
enough. You need three to four bowel movements a day in order to excrete all the
accumulated faeces from your intestine.. Your liver will not be overburdened and it also
helps reduce cholesterol in your body.
2. Drink at least three glasses of fruit or vegetable smoothies each day.
This is a way to ingest enough phytochemicals to strengthen the body's cells and immune
system. Use not only the flesh, but also the skin and seeds of fruits and vegetables to
make smoothies, as they are rich in phytochemicals. Most of the fruit seeds have small
amounts of cyanide which kill bacteria and viruses without damaging the body.
Actually the recommended smoothie diet is six glasses a day, two in the morning, one
before lunch, two more in the afternoon, and one more before dinner.
However, if that's too much, you may start with three glasses a day. Use a high powered blender
(at least three horsepower) as it can release phytochemicals from the fibre. It's best to choose sour
fruits like green or red apples, grapes, pineapples, kiwi and lime.
3. Sunbathe 30 minutes daily.
We often hear that the Sun's UV rays will damage our skin, and many people apply
sunblock before going out. But Dr Wu says the opposite.. He says the UV rays will help
convert cholesterol underneath the skin into vitamin A which helps moisten the skin and
prevent skin cancer, and also vitamin D that helps prevent colds, osteoporosis, and certain
kinds of cancer.
"Therefore, use the Sun. Expose yourself to sunlight about one-half hour a day, at noon
or another appropriate time based on your local climate. The Sun will make you
healthier," says Dr Wu.
4. Exercise 30 minutes a day.
Don't exercise for more than 30 minutes. If you go beyond that, your body will be
overworked. "If you do it more than half an hour, that will become labour, not exercise..
Your heart and your body will be working too hard," he says.
5. Shower with hot, then cold water.
Try an alternating cold and hot water shower: Three minutes of hot water followed by 30
seconds of cold water, then repeat twice more. This process will bring a rush of blood and
energy to your body. It helps increase your immune system, blood circulation, and metabolism..
6. Drink a lot of water, in the correct way.
How much water you need to drink each day depends on your specific situation. If your
office is air-conditioned, drinking six glasses of water a day is enough. If your work
involves lots of walking, you have to drink 8-10 glasses a day. If you work under the hot
sun, then 10-12 glasses of water are required.
The way you drink is also important. The correct way is to sip it little by little, to give
your body cells time to absorb the water. If you drink the whole glass down at once, your
cells can't absorb it all, and the water will be excreted as urine.
7. Eat according to your blood type..
Your blood type determines what you should eat. Eating the wrong foods will make you sick.
People with blood type O have to eat a certain amount of meat. If they eat only
vegetables for a long time, their body won't absorb all the substances they need to
strengthen their immune system. The recommended diet for this group is 75% vegetables,
10% fruits, 10% meat, seafood and goat's milk (avoid cow's milk), and 5% grains.
People with blood type A, however should avoid milk and meat, while increasing grains
and fruits. People with blood type B should also avoid meat, while those with blood type
AB should avoid chicken and beef.
8. Eat according to your biological clock..
Every human being has a biological clock that tells us when to eat, sleep, and wake up. If
you don't follow your biological clock, the organs will lose their balance. Toxins and
wastes won't be excreted from your body, and soon you'll get sick.
According to Dr Wu, the biological clock is divided into three phases.
From 4am to noon is the time for bowel movements, so in the morning you should eat
foods with lots of fibre. Fruit and vegetable smoothies are recommended.
From noon to 8pm, your body will absorb food so lunch is the most important meal. A
vegetable salad with grains is recommended. Fish or boiled eggs can be added to your
lunch. Avoid meat at dinner as the amino acids in the meat will disturb your sleep. Try to
finish dinner by 6pm.
From 8pm to 4am, the nutrients and energy from food will be distributed throughout your
body organs. The golden time for your sleep is between 10pm and 2am, as your immune
and self-healing system will function at its best.

"Smoothie Formula" is available at Popular Bookstores.
