Nikki Bravata promotes pretty much all of the quack cancer cures from A to Z which are all very profitable and victimizes lots of desperate cancer patients including Steve Jobs. There was a newbie china actress (Xu Ting or Kitty Xu Ting) with lymphoma who did not have enough money for conventional cancer treatment (the money she had earned was used to pay the debts of her parents and to help support 6 siblings, and I heard the old 1 child policy was only in cities) so she went with traditional chinese medicine (tcm) and no surprise, she did not live long and died at age 26. The juicing and enema cancer cure of gerson therapy has been debunked by Dr Greger. Frequent enemas can rupture the colon. The alkaline diet is obviously pseudoscience since it demonizes many healthy foods like whole grains and legumes (paleo diet is also pseudoscience). According to the alkaline diet, even carrot is acidic and should not be eaten so it is obviously pseudoscience.
The weight loss diet of Andrew Taylor is:
Potatoes and sweet potatoes. Minimal dried and fresh herbs, spices and fat-free sauces (such as sweet chilli, tomato sauce or barbecue sauce) for a bit of flavor. Some soy milk for mashed potatoes. Maybe take b12 supplement just to be sure. I am not a nutritionist so I have no idea if potato and sweet potato are reliable sources of iodine. Personally, I use wakame and dulse for iodine. The 1949 okinawa diet was slightly deficient in b12, b2, zinc and calcium, but they were able to get plenty of vitamin d from sunshine.
Chiropractor Alan Goldhamer has published 1 study on the case of a 42 year old woman with lymphoma who was cured by water only fasting and the unrefined vegan diet with b12 (no sugar, no oil, no salt) of the Truenorth Health Center, and probably need larger studies and more studies to rule out spontaneous remission.
