If you want a proper diet that is tailored to YOU, not someone else, then do yourself a favor, as I did, and go to an holistic nutritionist. None of our needs are the same, so there's no "one-size fits all" breast cancer diet. Also, the most important thing that was left out in the above link is the term "organic." Organic veggies/foods will not have any pesticides, which is major important, as those with BC must keep their diet as clean as possible. When purchasing organic veggies in a supermarket, only buy those sealed in plastic containers, not those laying out in the open. The reason for this is that every food establishment must be sprayed for bugs. I've seen those who do the spraying, and they are not terribly careful when doing it, plus it's in the air, and settles on the veggies/fruit. I always wash the plastic container before opening.

I found when spending time with my nutritionist, that there were long-standing problems with my immune system. I had fungal infections in the past (you never totally get rid of it, and also shingles, which can be dormant, but can raise it's nasty head again) so I am on Candex daily (2 AM and 2PM) for another month, then will be on maintenance. Raw and cultured foods are very important also. My diet as well as the supplements I take are tailored to my needs, and I'm glad I went this route, rather than trying things that others eat/use.

Basically, I eat no processed foods, no meat, dairy, white bread or those containing yeast and definitely no tunafish, which is loaded with Mercury, and totally stay away from refined sugar. On occasion I can have Alaska Wild Salmon steak which I purchase at a health food store. Mainly my diet now is 80%raw and 20% cooked.
