A Cancer Fighting “Bloody Mary”…Seriously? (Recipe)
Most of us know that there are a number of foods which are powerful cancer fighters and immune boosters,
such as red beets, cruciferous vegetables, garlic, etc. Likewise, most
of us have heard about the value of juicing in both cleansing the body
of toxins as well as providing valuable nutrition for a healthy body.
With this “Bloody Mary” recipe, you get the best of both worlds… a potent and tasty juiced drink which contains some of the most potent cancer fighters on the planet. And if you are a fan of Bloody Mary drinks (albeit non-alcoholic), all the better.
Red Beets – Beets help protect against cancer, particularly colon cancer. There is also something called “Beet Therapy” which doctors have used to get rid of tumors and to help with blood diseases and leukemia. Beets are also rich in betaine, which stimulates liver cell function and helps keep the bile ducts healthy and flowing so that the body can properly eliminate toxins.
Carrots – Carrots and carrot juice have been widely used to successfully beat cancer, sometimes as a standalone treatment. Among the many healthy compounds found in this root vegetable are polyacetylenes, which studies have found to be beneficial against inflammation and cancer.
Tomatoes – In addition to providing the tomato juice that gives the characteristic red color to Bloody Mary drinks, tomatoes help guard the DNA in your cells from damage that can lead to cancer. Tomatoes contain a particularly high concentration of the antioxidant called lycopene.
Baby Spinach – Spinach is one of the healthiest dark green leafy vegetables. It contains a large number of valuable vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients. Spinach is especially rich in folic acid. Folic acid helps maintain the cell’s genetic code and regulate normal cell division.
Broccoli – Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable − a group of vegetables that are among the most powerful cancer fighting foods to be found. Cruciferous vegetables are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and important antioxidants such as beta carotene and sulforaphane compounds. Cruciferous vegetables contain isothiocyanates. These are phytochemicals which help break down potential carcinogens. They also contain indole-3-carbinol (I3C), which help prevent estrogen-driven cancers.
Wheatgrass – Wheatgrass is one of the most potent superfoods on the planet and is used as a primary component of some alternative cancer treatments. Primary among its many cancer-fighting ingredients is chlorophyll, which has almost the same molecular structure as hemoglobin. Chlorophyll also contains the noted cancer-fighters selenium and laetrile.
Celery – Celery is a powerfully healthy vegetable that is most noted for helping regulate blood pressure. It is also a powerful cancer fighter and it contains apigenin and luteolin, compounds which are bioactive flavonoids that fight cancer cells.
Garlic (2-3 cloves) – Garlic, as well as onions, leeks, and chives, have immune-enhancing allium compounds. These compounds increase immune cell activity, help break down cancer causing substances, and block carcinogens from entering cells. Studies have linked garlic to lowering the risk of stomach and colon cancer. Diallyl sulfide, a compound found in garlic oil, has also been shown to incapacitate carcinogens in the liver.
Cayenne (as much as you can comfortably drink) – Hot peppers such as cayenne (chili peppers) and jalapenos contain capsaicin − a chemical which fights cancer and helps neutralize certain cancer-causing nitrosamines. Hot peppers are especially valuable for helping prevent stomach cancers.
Whole Lemon – Lemons are widely used in anti-cancer diets and treatments. Studies have found that lemon extract can successfully destroy malignant cells in a wide range of cancers, including breast cancer, colon cancer, and lung cancer.
Turmeric Root (or powdered turmeric if you can’t find turmeric root) – Turmeric is a popular kitchen spice whose main ingredient is curcumin. Curcumin has become a rising star against cancer in recent years. Its powers have been detailed in a whopping 8963 studies and papers in PubMed, the U.S. national library of medicine.
2. Juice the above ingredients in a quality low-RPM juicer such as the Omega Vert 350HD used by this author. Note that high RPM juicers oxidize the ingredients and greatly reduce the juice’s health benefits.
3. Add fresh ground black pepper, turmeric powder (if you cannot find turmeric root to juice), and Himalayan salt to taste after making the juice. Then, plop in a celery stalk and perhaps a couple of green olives and enjoy!

Directions for Making a Juiced “Bloody Mary”
1. Use a more or less equal amount of the above ingredients, except for perhaps using a few extra tomatoes, using only a few cloves of garlic, and using only as much cayenne pepper as you can tolerate.2. Juice the above ingredients in a quality low-RPM juicer such as the Omega Vert 350HD used by this author. Note that high RPM juicers oxidize the ingredients and greatly reduce the juice’s health benefits.
3. Add fresh ground black pepper, turmeric powder (if you cannot find turmeric root to juice), and Himalayan salt to taste after making the juice. Then, plop in a celery stalk and perhaps a couple of green olives and enjoy!
Recipe Tips & Notes on Juicing
- As a cancer preventive, enjoy a couple of glasses several times a week. As a cancer fighter and detoxer, drink 6 or more tall glasses per day for at least a week with no other food consumed. After that, continue drinking several glasses a day along with a healthy diet and other cancer-fighting supplements thereafter.
- For a sweeter morning version, substitute apples for the tomatoes and also add ginger.
- The key to getting the maximum benefit from juiced drinks is to consume them while the plant enzymes are still “live.” Thus it is best to only make as much as you will be able to drink within a couple of days instead of making large batches that may take days to consume.

Especially if you are trying to heal, I would recommend a juicer. The masticating juicers ARE pricey. But, on Ebay, if you shop carefully, you can get a “new” or reconditioned Omega centrifugal, non-masticating, with or without pulp ejection, for less than $80, US shipping and 3 year warranty included. My new Omega with pulp ejection feature just was delivered. It is an older model, but I have had it’s predecessor without pulp ejection since the early 90s and it is still going strong. Easy to clean and takes up little space. The new ones on the market come with a 15 year guarantee. I’m not sure if mine will have that but they are made to not have the warranty be needed.
If you are going to juice leafy greens or grass, a good trick to know is to wrap them in a bigger leaf, like lettuce or Kale or collard with a firm stick of something like a sliver of celery, carrot or collard green or kale stems. The stiff stick helps it not get bunched up, while the bigger leaf holds it all together while it’s being grated and the juice extracted. You can’t push it too fast or the motor cuts off. If this happens, there is a restart button on the back, so it’s not a terrible thing.
Good luck!
The Budwig Protocol (mostly dietary) was developed to cure cancer. Here is my partial understanding of some of the principles it is based upon.
1. Cancer cannot live in an O-2 rich environment.
2. Cell respiration (O-2/CO-2 exchange) and cell metabolism (taking in nutrients/discharging waste products) can be enhanced with the result that cells can operate according to their innate (DNA) instructions, whatever kind of cells they are.
3. #s1 & 2 can be accomplished via intake of flax seed oil and cottage cheese or quark when they are bonded via easy but special instructions + basiclly a fresh, organic, lacto-vegetarian diet.
I find the diet delicious and easy. If I have to eat this way for the rest of my life, I won’t mind. Depending on your tastes, you can spice it or leave it plain. Johanna Budwig, the nobel-nominated bio-chemist who devised the protocol, also wrote a cookbook. Her recipes look delicious, but they take more time than I have, so my meals are more simple. She was German. 3 of her books have been translated into English and are available on the Web.
Here is a great website/chat where you can learn from survivors what they did. https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FlaxSeedOil2/info
After you sign-up, you will probably receive a welcome email as well as one which details the Budwig protocol.
I have personal, successful experience with the protocol, but fibromyalgia, not cancer is the condition. Immediately I began seeing reduction of symptoms. Rapid improvement followed. It has been 3 months. I still have occasional symptoms but usually not. When I do, they are mild. I don’t think 3 months is enough time for a cure, but I am happy with feeling so much better.
Blessings for complete healing and a wonderful life ongoing.
Good :Luck
I learned this when my doctor prescribed a wheat grass douche to address an abnormal pap smear.
Not having a juicer, I went to the local juice bar. I took a big jar. The bar man told me not to buy so much, that it would not be good, later. I disregarded his advice Without telling him what I planned to do with it, I insisted he fill up my jar, as it was a long way home. He did. On the way home, the juice in the jar hissed loudly for about 10 minutes. Then, it went silent. I assumed it had been hissing out oxygen, which is important to the healing power of the wheat grass. (We are told that cancer has a hard time living in an O-2 environment.) After that, I took my equipment with me to the juice bar every day for the prescribed period.
BTW: My follow-up pap was negative.
Thanks for all your wonderful work. I really appreciate what you do.

If you try the protocol I would love to hear your experience. Until I develop the site for the public, probably the best way to do that would be to pick one of my entries and leave a comment.
Inflammation: Beside ice, elevation and rest, I have oils through Young Living Oils that people have used for inflammation. I don’t know if you had an exam to eliminate possibility of sprain or broken bones or another condition, but these oils can greatly reduce the production of nitric oxide that results in inflammation and tissue damage. The six oils that helped the most are Oregano, nutmeg, lemongrass, melaleuca ericifollia, dill, and peppermint. If I’m not mistaken, the first two oils might not want to use if you have heart conditions. You can consult an aromatherapist at their website. Apply on location and to brain stem back of neck up to the skull. You can look up in the ” How to Use- The Personal Usage Reference” in the Essential Oils Desk Reference under Inflammation or Anti Inflammation sections for some excellent blend recipe. Hope this helps. Also Doterra brand oils are excellent oils to use, if you should choose. Don’t use cheap synthetic oils that can burn your skin and keep them away from your eyes.

this guy is alive using the leto diet, insect flour for protein and no plants at all in his diet – he has a problem with the natural pant chemicals. IN UK they are doing research on the leto diet based on his survival.
Practical Keto – low carb high fat, is a good site to join. Fasting is a great way to renew cells and immune function too, 5-4 days on water then leto diet.
All the best.
carb high fat diet.
