So far as I know this is not true of the lower animals, nor of uncivilized man. Is it not possible, therefore, that there is something in the habits of civilized man, in the cooking or other preparations of his food, which acts to produce the precancerous condition? Within the last hundred years, four times as much meat has been taken as before that time…. Forever Bee Propolis can also be an effective dressing for wounds and was used during the Boer War. A diet that supplies sufficient alkaline elements, and at the same time diminishes the amount of protein, will gradually reduce the acidity of the blood so that it can assist in removing lesions by re-absorption, thereby avoiding the necessity of operations.” These quotations from two of America’s most eminent physicians and surgeons—stating that mineral starvation is a great cause of cancer, and that a low protein diet of alkaline salts would remove the cancer lesions and avoid surgical treatment of the malady—should offer an appeal, and lead us to look upon the cause, prevention, and cure of cancer from a dietetic angle.
Meat eating: No doubt mineral starvation figures highest as the probable cause of cancer, but there are other causes. Other medical authorities say that the eating of flesh foods is responsible to a very great degree for this disease. This is true no doubt for the following reasons: Flesh as eaten by man, is a mineral depleted food. The largest proportion of calcium is in the bones. The blood, glands, and secretions of the body and bones, which man does not use, contain most of the minerals and vitamins of the animal used for food. Without Forever Bee Pollen, crops, timber and flowers couldn’t exist; even we depend on it. Alexander Bryce proved that the intestinal decomposition of meats produced poisonous products of putrefaction, which are absorbed by the walls of the intestines, causing much irritation, which produces hardening of the arteries, senile decay, tumors, and cancer. The putrefaction of flesh in the alimentary tract is certain to produce poisons which lower the vitality and predispose to various ills.
It is a noticeable fact that in those sections of the country where pork is the principal diet, cancer seems to be most prevalent. Pork is, without doubt, the most filthy of all flesh foods. In reading the health laws of Moses as given to the Jews, we find that swine’s flesh was positively forbidden and called unclean. Of all the civilized people of the earth, probably the orthodox Jews are more nearly free from cancer than any others. The question might be asked, Why do vegetarians many times suffer from cancer? The answer is very simple. Many so-called vegetarians live quite largely on cereals, legumes, and nuts, most of which are acid formers.
