best cancer fighting foods

Claims about how the body's pH affects the development and course of various disease states is largely hokum. The reason being the fact that there is a wide variance in pH across different fluids and regions of the body. What is a proper pH in one place is improper in another. Thus, I would exercise caution with respect to anybody making claims about the pH of the body as making such a claim belies the lack of understanding that the pH is not constant across all fluids and tissues.

Respectfully, there are plenty of practitioners who disagree with you, because they have extensive clinical evidence that alkalizing the body does indeed affect cancer. For starters, check out Dr. Bernardo, who claims to have helped hundreds of advanced stage cancer patients heal, by keeping their urine pH between 7.2 and 7.4 consistently for 4 months. He claims that any cancer, anywhere in the body, will disappear with that regimen.

However, it is of course easier said than done. But it can be done, and I've spoken to some of those cancer survivors. Some had already done the chemo etc. and were on their deathbeds, and yet were cancer-free a few months later, after alkalizing.

You are correct that different fluids have different pH. Some of the doctors I work with have explained to me that when the body is overall too acidic, the areas of the body that are supposed to be acidic (stomach and vagina) are too alkaline. When the body's overall pH is neutral to slightly alkaline, those areas of the body balance out to their natural acidity.

They explained the chemistry of it to me but I am unable to relay the technical explanation. But these doctors have seen this phenomenon time and time again in their clinical practices.

Also, Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in 1931 for proving that cancer cells can thrive only in an anaerobic, acidic environment. He has never been refuted.

Contrary to popular misconception, an alkalizing diet/water doesn't alkalize the entire body. Rather, it facilitates homeostasis, which means the areas that are supposed to be alkaline get alkaline, and the areas that are supposed to be acidic, get acidic.

(Another popular misconception is that acidic foods like lemons are acidifying. Not true. It's the final effect in the body that matters. Lemons have a chemical reaction in the stomach and actually help alkalize. Same with other fruits, in general.)

So, I disagree that it's 'hokum.' The many cancer survivors who've been healed by alkalizing would surely disagree too.
