PANDUAN BAGI PESAKIT KANSER.

SEMASA DALAM TEMPOH RAWATAN KANSER, PESAKIT KANSER DISARANKAN CUBA ELAKKAN ATAUPUN KURANGKAN KADAR PENGAMBILAN MAKAN-MAKANAN BERIKUT:

1)        Makanan yang berkarbohidrat tinggi kerana sistem penghadaman badan akan menukarkan karbohidrat menjadi gula  seperti nasi.  Ianya dapat ditukar kepada gula melalui sistem badan kita. Gula merupakan makanan bagi sel-sel normal dan juga sel-sel kanser. Dengan menghadkan keupayaan sel kanser untuk membiak, vitamin B17 akan dapat bertindak secara lebih tertumpu kepada sel kanser yang sedia ada.

2)        Bahan makanan yang mengandungi kandungan gula yang tinggi atau pun 'sweetener' tiruan (artificial. Sweetener yang bersumberkan dari bahan semulajadi seperti madu asli dan juga daun stevia adalah digalakkan.

3)        Kurangkan pengambilan makanan laut (seafood) seperti ketam, sotong & udang ketahap paling minima. Gamat juga tidak digalakkan (makanan ini dapat menyuburkan sel kanser).

4)        Cuba elakkan minuman yang mempunyai kadar caffeine yang tinggi seperti teh, kopi dan coklat kerana caffeine menyuburkan sel kanser.

5)        Kurangkan makanan yang berprotin tinggi kerana lebihan protin akan semakin menyaluti sel kanser menyebabkan B17 mengalami kesukaran menembusi sel kanser. Banyakkan makanan seerti nenas yang mempunyai Bromelain. Bromelain membantu memecahkan selaput protin pada sel kanser.

7)        Jangan makan Ikan bersisik seperti ikan haruan, ikan merah, ikan gelama & sebarang jenis ikan yang bersisik.  (Contoh ikan tidak bersisik yang boleh dimakan, seperti ikan tongkol, ikan yu, ikan salmon, ikan kembung, ikan keli, ikan patin & lain-lain - Ikan yang tidak mempunyai sisik & berada di laut dalam dipercayai mempunyai kandungan Omega 3 yang sangat tinggi, Omega 3 merupakan anti kanser).

6)        Elakkan mengambil makanan segera & sebarang produk yang mengandungi bahan pengawet yang banyak terutama makanan dalam tin seperti ikan sardin, makanan jeruk, pencecah pembuka selera seperti budu, belacan dsb..


AMALKAN MEMAKAN MAKANAN BERIKUT:

1. Buah-buahan seperti epal, anggur kerana buah-buahan ini memunyai kandungan B17
2. Buah nenas kerana kandungan Bromelain
3. Buah betik (papaya) kerana kandungan
4. Buah limau kerana kandungan vitamin C yang tinggi.

What Is Quercetin?


Quercetin  is a flavonoid, a plant-derived compound found in fruits and vegetables. Flavonoids have generated scientific interest because of their potential beneficial effects on human health, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, and antiviral activities.


Herbs and botanicals have a long history of traditional medicinal use in many countries. Flavonoids were not discovered until the 1930s, but now more than 4,000 types have been identified. In recent years, these naturally occurring substances have been receiving increased attention by researchers, and quercetin in particular has shown great promise.
Quercetin is widely found in apple skins, berries, and tea. There has been increasing interest in quercetin in the sports science and athletic communities due to scientific and clinical research results that show quercetin’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and other properties are likely to improve mental and physical performance. In addition, emerging evidence suggests quercetin may reduce infection risk during intense physical exercise.

In recent years, there have been several credible clinical studies that have shown that athletes, as well as untrained individuals, can experience increased endurance by consuming quercetin.
An independent, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, cross-over study from the University of South Carolina showed that when 12 healthy, active (but not highly trained) men and women consumed 500 mg of quercetin in an enriched drink mix twice daily for 7 days, they experienced a 13.2 percent increase in ride time to fatigue (based on bicycle endurance capacity) and a 3.9 percent increase in VO2max (maximum oxygen consumption).

Researchers from Appalachian State University found that when untrained males consumed 1000 mg of quercetin each day for two weeks they experienced a statistically significant improvement of 2.9% in 12-minute treadmill time trial performance.

One large apple  contains only about 10mg of Quercetin, .While there are many benefits to consuming quercetin-rich foods, you cannot achieve the endurance benefits through food and diet alone. thus by simply eating quercetin-rich fruits and vegetables For example, by consuming 500 mg of Quercetin twice a day, it takes someone to eat 100 apples a day to get the same amount of quercetin.
