Omega-3
To improve your diet, you need to lower your omega-6 and raise your omega-3. You can do this by changing what you eat. Foods that contain high amounts of omega-6 are soybean oil, cottonseed oil, and corn oil. These oils are key ingredients in margarine, mayonnaise, salad dressings, snack foods, processed foods and fast foods.
There are fish oil supplements and other sources of Omega-3 but most have issues with product purity (mercury from fish) or other potential side effects. Pure Vegan Omega-3 Clary Sage oil in capsules provides you with the Omega-3 you need while eliminating many of the issues with alternative supplements.
This Clary Sage Omega-3 oil is pure organic oil and is Kosher certified. For more information, visit the our Whole Foods 4 Clary Sage Omega-3 site for information and to order.
Sodium Ascorbate - Vitamin C
Why sodium ascorbate instead of regular vitamin C tablets? Simple, the vitamin C tablets are highly acidic. The sodium ascorbate which IS vitamin C enters the body in an alkaline form. This helps maintain the acid balance toward the more favorable alkaline levels necessary to combat cancer and other disease!
Sodium ascorbate is a more bioavailable form of vitamin C that is an alternative to taking ascorbic acid as a supplement. The molecular formula of this chemical compound is C6H7NaO6. As the sodium salt of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), it is known as a mineral ascorbate.
- Sodium ascorbate can reverse the development of atherosclerotic disease, helps in heart attack prevention.[2]In addition sodium ascorbate plays a significant role in the elimination of chronic and acute infections.[3] Moreover, it is considered to be an anti-cancer agent. Sodium ascorbate produces cytotoxic effect in an array of malignant cell lines, which include melanomacells that are particularly susceptible.
Several times a week we take two heaping teaspoons in some juice (orange or grape) or just plain water. This is about 10,000mg of Vitamin C. Now this high a dose may cause you to have a form of diarrhea, but it will really clean you out! It actually makes you feel so clean inside it is wonderful; but may not be for everyone. Note: very high dosages of vitamin C may interfere with other supplements or medications. It may be best to separate these high doses by at least six hours from other supplements or medications for optimum results.

Palladium Lipoic Complex - Poly MVA - http://www.polymva.com/
- Poly-MVA is a uniquely formulated combination of minerals, vitamins and amino acids designed to support cellular energy production and promote overall health. Poly-MVA also replaces specific nutrients that may be depleted during certain therapies.
- A patented dietary supplement with over 15 years of clinical laboratory research and testing, Poly-MVA is a revolutionary product and the first in a remarkable new category of supplement called lipoic acid palladium complexes (LAPd).
- Poly-MVA is the first product to come out of the new field of electrogenetics, which studies and describes the energy requirements, energy exchanges, and electrical communication that allow DNA signaling and communication in our cells. While an in-depth explanation involves interactions that bridge the fields of chemistry, physics and biology, the mechanism of Poly-MVA can also be explained in more common physiological terms.
- Poly-MVA maintains and enhances the function of mitchondria, the main source of energy within cells. In healthy cells using aerobic respiration, Poly-MVA not only protects these cells from damage but enhances their function and action. The clinical effects of Poly-MVA have been proven in laboratory studies, with countless patients as well as in doctor's clinics and hospitals nationwide.
Take a 100mg gellcap of Coenzyme Q10 or CoQ10 which is a recommended accompaniment with each dose. Due to interaction with high doses of other anti-oxidants, a six hour separation was recommended. The folks at the PolyMVA site are extremely helpful and informative. You can call anytime for information or dosage instructions! Check out this site.
Vitamin and other supplements.
Chlorella and Spirulina
Ok, you may not have heard of these before. I know I hadn't! Basically these are considered 'Super Foods' and I first heard of them watching the video on the Gerson Miracle (more on videos and such in the Education & Reference section).
Chlorella is a tiny, single-celled water-grown alga containing a nucleus and an enormous amount of readily available chlorophyll. It also contains protein (approximately 58 percent), carbohydrates, all of the B vitamins, vitamins C and E, amino acids, and rare trace minerals. In fact, it is virtually a complete food. It contains more vitamin B12 than liver does, plus a considerable amount of beta-carotene.
- A-to-Z Guide To Supplements, James F. Balch M.D.
Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green alga in the shape of a spiral coil, living both in sea and fresh water. Spirulina is the common name for human and animal food supplements produced primarily from two species of cyanobacteria: Arthrospira platensis, and Arthrospira maxima
Spirulina's predigested protein provides building material soon after ingestion, without the energy-draining side effects of meat protein; its mucopolysaccharides relax and strengthen connective tissue while reducing the possibility of inflammation; its simple carbohydrates yield immediate yet sustained energy; its GLA fatty acids improve hormonal balance; and its protein-bonded vitamins and minerals, as found in all whole foods, assimilate better than the synthetic variety. Spirulina can generally be considered an appropriate food for those who exercise vigorously, as evidenced by the many world-class athletes who use it
- Healing With Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford
Currently we are using Spirulina from NOW Foods. In addition we mix 'Green Vibrance' a combination of Spirulina Chlorella and a host of other nutrients in our morning smoothie! Both of these products are available on-line. We suggest you shop around as the prices vary dramatically!
General Multi-Vitamin
We are now using a general multi-vitamin drink called Marvalous 24/7. This product comes in handy individual sachets (connivent for travel) and contains 100% of the recommended daily nutritional values of Zinc, Manganese, Chromium and 150% of the selenium, 80% of the daily iodine. With reduced salt and consumption of organic foods on a Vegan diet, this supplemental drink insures that we get sufficient iodine and other nutrients in a balanced manner.
Vitamin D
We take 10,000 IU of Vitamin D with our evening meal along with Clary Sage Omega-3 capsules. (We do cut this back to 5,000 IU when we are in the sun for a length of time.)
Theories linking vitamin D to certain cancers have been tested and confirmed in more than 200 epidemiological studies, and understanding of its physiological basis stems from more than 2,500 laboratory studies, according to epidemiologist Cedric Garland, DrPH, professor of family and preventive medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine. Dr. Garland is widely regarded as the leading epidemiologist on vitamin D and its relation to health. He led one of the latest studies on vitamin D for cancer prevention and proposed a new model of cancer development -- dubbed DINOMIT-- that is centered on a loss of cancer cells' ability to stick together. The model is a departure from the older model of cancer development, which centers on genetic mutations as the earliest driving forces behind cancer.
Calcitrol -- the activated form of vitamin D -- has been shown to protect against cancer by inducing cell differentiation and controlling cell proliferation. People with a low vitamin D level are less able to make activated vitamin D in an amount sufficient to exert the controls over cell proliferation that are needed to reduce cancer.
Optimized vitamin D levels will work synergistically with virtually every other cancer treatment. There are over 830 peer-reviewed scientific studies showing its effectiveness in the treatment of cancer!
You'll want to elevate your levels of vitamin D to about 80-90 ng/ml, and continue to have them monitored throughout your treatment. Calcitrol, the most potent steroid hormone in your body, is produced in large amounts in your tissues when you have sufficient amounts of vitamin D.
