Kate’s Anti-Cancer, Anti-Estrogen Food Choice Guidelines

My anti-cancer food choices are based on some simple concepts.
  • I choose high-quality, nutrient-dense, more traditional, fresh or frozen foods.
  • Plus I take high-quality nutritional supplements to support my immune system and body terrain. 
  • Diagnosed with Estrogen-Receptive cancer. I do not feed it estrogenic foods and I eat anti-estrogenic foods daily.
There are foods I NEVER eat-
  • #1 Sugar feeds cancer!
    • NO Cane Sugar, Beet Sugar, Honey, or Maple Syrup.
    • Agave Syrup does not seem to feed cancer,
    • BUT the way it is processed is toxic.
    • Avoid it unless you know the manufacturing is pure.
    • For a sweetener I use the Stevia plant.
    • Other people successfully use Xylitol or Erythitol.
    • Dried fruits are concentrated sugar.
  • NO Whites- Flour, Rice, Potatoes
  • Soy Feeds Estrogen- No soybeans, soy sauce or tofu!
  • NO Processed Cheeses and Meats, No Farmed Fish
  • NO Wheat (except sprouted wheat breads)
  • NO GMOs or Corn, Soy or Canola oils
  • NO Vinegars (except Apple Cider Vinegar)
  • NO Yeasts or Mushrooms (except Shitake, Reishi and Cordyceps- they have cancer-fighting properties)
  • NO Margarines or hydrogenated Fats
  • NO Peanuts or Peanut Butter, Pistashios- Peanuts and Pistashios have cancer-causing fungus. Switch to organic Almonds and Almond Butter
Some food products are not really food.
Know the difference!
NO ARTIFICIAL Sugars, Flavoring, Coloring
NO Nutrisweet, Sacchrin, Preservatives or MSG!

With an Estrogen-receptive cancer,
I also do not consume Estrogenic foods or products-
NEVER again drink water from a plastic bottle.
NO Soy. Especially not GMO-Soy. No Edamane, Soy Sauce, Tofu, Tempeh. I do occasionally eat traditionally fermented Miso.
NO Sunflower seeds (switch to Pumpkin Seeds)
NO Flax seed oil (fresh ground flax seeds are ok)
NO Alfalfa Sprouts, Licorice, or Clover


Then there are foods I eat everyday-
Dark leafy greens- like Kale, Romaine or Spinach, Cucumbers, Celery and/or Parsley
Cultured/Fermented foods- Sauerkraut, real Pickles
Bone Broth, Walnuts and Almonds
Dark Berries- Blueberries, Blackberries, Raspberries, Marionberries
An Egg- organic, pastured-raised (read more... )
I drink Coconut Water and Green Tea,
      and LOTS of pure, filtered WATER everyday

Some foods are known to kill cancer cells and prevent cancer-
Broccoli, Cabbage, Kale, Seaweeds. Seeing a pattern here?

Some foods are Anti-Estrogenic- I choose daily from
Hemp and Chia seeds, Dark Berries, Eggs, Fish Oils and Salmon, Broccoli, Kale, Cabbage, Onions and Garlic
