Cancer is one of the leading causes of death among Americans living in the United States. One out of every three people will be affected by the symptoms of cancer. Although the government suggests there is no known cure for cancer, except treatment through chemotherapy and radiation. Others also swear on the miracles and results using alternative methods to treat cancer.
Dr. Wurg wrote in his noble prize-winning study, stated that healthy tissues are alkaline and cancerous tissues are acidic. Cancer does not survive in an alkaline state. "Cancerous tissues are acidic and healthy tissues are alkaline. With that idea and concept in mind, here are many ways to increase the alkaline levels within the body naturally by implementing a high alkaline diet.
Let's start with diet. A diet consisting of high alkaline foods can significantly reduce your chances of getting cancer and believed by many in high doses to treat it. We have outlined a list of high forming alkaline foods to kick-start a high alkaline food diet for preventative or cancer support that include high alkaline forming foods such as baking soda, sea salt, mineral water, pumpkin seed, lentils, seaweed, onion, taro root, sea vegetables, lotus root, sweet potato, lime, lemons, nectarine, persimmon, raspberry, watermelon, tangerine, and pineapple to get you on the right track.

When considering a high alkaline diet for preventative cancer, it also very important to be aware of the source of the food, quality and grade. If you're going to go out of your way to pursue a high alkaline diet, it may be wise to consider organic as your primary source. choosing organic food also declines the risks associated with ingesting toxic pesticides included in non-organic produce foods.
It's also equally important to be aware of the foods that are high in acid. If you're striving to stay on a high alkaline diet for preventative cancer measures we have compiled a list of foods high in acid to also consider when taken in preventative cancer measures and incorporating them in your daily diet. You may be surprised on some of our findings.
