Note: There is now a Breast Cancer Prevention Superfoods (Part 2), they are the result of additional research and dietary additions over the past couple of years……
…also, remember these are not “magic bullets”, in that, it is not about eating a handful of berries and healing cancer. It more about having as many “foot soldiers” as possible in your daily nutrition that your allow your body’s immune system to prevent Breast Cancer.
A good approach is adding as many as possible to salads and/or daily smoothies
UPDATE 3/11/2024!!! additional Cancer fighting foods in and info
1. Spirulina: This superfood can easily be taken in tablet or powder form. I run across A LOT of evidence and documentation that this superfoods fights cancer head on. For example Catharine Arnston, the owner of the company that make Energy Bits Spirulina, said she was told by doctors that “spirulina prevents the growth of blood vessels to tumors and cancers. It’s called antiangiogenesis. The angiogenesis process is when your body is building new blood vessels, and tumors basically hijack those blood vessels to feed themselves. Well, the blue pigment, again, for whatever reason, stops that process”. You can check out the text from the podcast where she makes this comment here A scientific paper on Spirulina and Tumors can be found here.
2. Carb Reduction: I have run across several seemingly reliable and valid testimonies where people helped others heal brain tumors by reducing, and/or cutting out carbs. Most often they have their loved one go into the Keto eating plan, where carbs are very very minimal, such as 20 carbs a day. Basically with Keto, you eat a lot more healthy fats than carbs and protein, and train the brain and body to burn fat for energy, as opposed to the body creating sugars from carbs, which feeds cancer cells. I’m not so sure if you have to go all the way into Keto, or simply lower your carbs (I tried Keto, and it gave me severe constipation, as my body had trouble adjusting to processing all the fat and so little carbs, which I think my body wasn’t ready for, carb reduction for me should be gradual), but I’m sure there is something to the concept of less carbs means less sugars getting to cancer cells, thus starving cancer cells out. Two women I ran across who said they helped their mothers get rid of tumors via carb reduction are Keto Guru Stephanie Person, whose mother had a brain tumor, was given 6 months to live but now is over 7 years cancer free and Dr. Annette Bosworth, who says after her mother’s cancer kept coming back and she couldn’t take any more chemo, Annette told her mother after her mother asked “what would you do if you were me”, Annette said “go home and get rig of carbs from your diet”. Her mother was if I’m correct cancer free for 4-5 years until dying of COVID. Also, Katrina Foe, read more about her in the next bullet point.
3. Testing to find the root cause of your cancer: If I can make personal opinion comment, modern medicine and doctors seem to take a Medieval and seemingly “barbaric” approach to addressing cancer. They never look into root causes, most of their process is about dealing with resulting symptoms, via Chemotherapy, or cutting out or cutting off the offending body part. There’s gotta be a better way, otherwise, we might as well be back in Medieval times, where doctors got into bloodletting and leeches to fight disease. Anyway, Katrina Foe, who says she got rid of here cancer via Keto diet, wanted to go a step further to help others. Katrina wanted to develop system of testing so on can find the root cause of the cancer and properly address it. In Katrina’s case, she said she was doing everything right in her life, organic foods, making her own cleansing products, and so on, but still got breast cancer. After getting proper testing, seemingly outside the scope of what institutionalized medicine will do, she found the root of her cancer to be mold that she didn’t know about in her farmhouse. You can get more into Katrina’s story or even call her for a consultation, but she says she addressed the mold contamination via a detox process and other non invasive means including Keto diet. She made the note in a podcast that “One Day, I noticed the tumor was gone”. If I’m correct part her company’s testing process includes sending blood work all the way over to Greece, where they are one of the few if the only labs in the word that does a certain type of cancer blood testing that isolated exactly what type of cancer irregularities are in the body, and subsequently, what type of detox and such can address that specific issue. Although Katrina’s process is not cheap, I think the detailed blood testing and everything else that it entails can be $15,000, it could be well worth it for many. Katrina has free phone consultations for anyone inquiring about their process. The link to one of her webpages is here.
4. Environmental Toxins: This issue is the “wild card” in all this, because, as I mentioned in Katrina Foe’s story above, she was doing everything right, like living out in the country and eating healthy farm raised foods and such, but she was a victim of mold in their farmhouse. So, one can conclude that environmental toxins are lurking everywhere, from our water, to our non-stick skillets, to our hand soap, and its probably impossible to avoid them all. I think that where we all have to get more astute in how detox the body, and do whatever we can about less toxins coming into the body, and realize that if something still happens, there are some people who have broken ranks with Money Driven Medicine and the Pharmaceutical Industry, and found ways to beat their cancer.
……..AVOID CONVENTIONAL DAIRY, if doing milk, cheese and the rest, go for GRASS FED, cheese, and other dairy. There “seems” to be some link to whatever is in the composition of commercial dairy, and breast cancer. Also I would beware of the dangers of soy.

Just wanted to drop a note thanking you for posting such great information. I am almost up to a daily smoothie and have a couple boys who beg for smoothies as well. I've started adding additional ingredients to make them healthier, all because of your blog and info that you have posted. I also love all the images that you post on here too – great motivation! Thank you! You are one of my favorite blogs to read. I found your blog because the picture of the fruit plate that made the picture of the palm tree and beach (banana, kiwi and madarins) came across my pinterest feed and I recreated it for my boys and they loved it.
Wow!!!! Thanks Jenny. I don’t blog for money, compliments like this are my payment. I try to put my heart and soul into my blog, and was hoping it could be a visually appealing place to stop for 60 seconds, and maybe the reader might learn something. I take my photos seriously and sometimes can’t even post an article until I find the right picture. For the breast cancer article, I had to find a “modern, earthy” woman that looked like she was on the beach. Pretty anal huh? I’m pretty passionate about breast cancer because my mother and all 7 of her sisters got it, and I remember praying if I ever got old enough, to be able to help with the solution. I think my mom and sisters got exposed to DEET (or DDT) however, since they were poor growing up and sprayed it in the bed every night to combat bedbugs. So far as smoothies, everybody has their own flow, but here are some pointers (once you get that thing tasting delicious, you’ll be hooked forever).
1) If you get into Bananas, dice them up and throw in freezer, and throw them into smoothie, it makes that thing like a milkshake.
2) Papaya works well diced and frozen, and is an incredible superfood that doesn’t get it’s just due
3)Reishi mushrooms in powder, and awesome superfood
4)Ceylon Cinnamon as opposed to more common cinnamon with quality honey causes a chemical reaction that can supposedly cure any disease.
5)Boil green tea, and then put it in glass container in fridge as all or part of your liquid for smoothies Green tea combined with papaya is a breast cancer fighter
6)Chlorella is an incredible superfood that I take everyday in my smoothies
7)frozen fruits of choice make a smoothie delicious
8)If you are trying to adapt to the taste of veggies in a smoothie like broccoli, a great protein powder called seques/vega has a great berry taste and can “mask” the taste of veggies, if you are trying to get that smoothie fruity and milkshake tasting http://www.amazon.com/Vega-Performance-PROTEIN–Berry-Flavour/dp/B0034LEY8Q/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1368646246&sr=8-2&keywords=vega+sport+performance+protein+berry
9)Blueberries, blackberries, and black raspberries are cancer fighters, but also they make the smoothie a nice purple color (I’m not feeling those green, mud colored smoothies, maybe that’s my thing
10) Save the apple cores, freeze them, and throw them in the smoothie. Apple seeds are cancer fighters (along with apricot seeds), and the apple core will help give the smoothie a deeper fruit taste
Smoothies ebb and flow and evolve so they will change as you learn more. Here is my personal smoothie recipe in case you haven’t seen it on the blog, although I have added a fed things to it. https://www.gaiahealthblog.com/2011/12/23/dougssmoothie/ .
Thanks for the comment, that lady is one of my coolest pictures in my eye, it made my day that someone acknowledged it, and is my motivation to keep putting practical information out there. Enjoy those smoothies!!!!
The two most important things to can consume to prevent breast cancer are;
1. Nascent iodine.
2. vitamin d3
My list is focused on whole food sources, which I think one should try before going to supplements (vitamin D supplements wreaked havoc on my sleep and so forth, though one of my friend says he loves them). The wild caught salmon on my “Part 2” list is enough to keep my Vitamin D levels in the 40’s, and on my list, I mention salmon as a good source of vitamin D. Though some sources say V-D levels need to be higher, like in the 80’s or 90’s, one researcher said the Massai tribe in Kenya had the highest vitamin D levels of all the tribes he measured, at 44.5.
The Nascent Iodine, I absolutely had never heard of before, after a preliminary half hour’s resrch on that, I think it worth me writing a separate article on that, because it seems like important information to pass on.

"Save the apple cores, freeze them, and throw them in the smoothie. Apple seeds are cancer fighters"
Thanks for the great tips but I'm surprised as apple seeds are to contain some amount of cyanide and if lots of is cosumed can kill!
Hi NAdine,
You have to look at from the point of view of most herbs and superfoods. Most if not all have a level of toxicity, in that if you consume too many of them, they become toxic. With apple seeds, as I understand it, we’re talking about 1 or two cups of apple seeds, which is basically hundreds of seeds as opposed to the 10 or so that are found in an apple. To eat 1 or two cups of apple seeds, you would have to eat perhaps 100 apple cores, which nobody is gonna do in one sitting.
I’m not so sure if its the cyanide that kills at toxic levels, bit the overall processing of those 2 cups of seeds can be toxic. Once again this all all from my basic research, but I have a bag of apple cores in the freezer right now and I throw one in my smoothie almost every day, been doing it for 7 years, and never felt better.
