Beat Cancer genes with diet
How can we use our diet to improve our odds if we have inherited a gene that predisposes us to Cancer
This article is a result of readings and experience as an energy healer and also as someone who has seen this disease from close quarters. The recent findings on diet and the amazing books that continue to be published on this subject have informed me to look at this possibility closely.
Cancer Genes
Modern medicine has helped identify genes that predisposes one to various types of cancers and has of course come up with the therapies targeting them. But very little is offered in terms of the prevention. This is where the energy healing and other modalities are perhaps very useful as they offer a way to reduce our chances of perhaps even developing one.
Pranic Healing and Cancer explanation
A seminal work by Master Choa Kok Sui on the energy anatomy of cancer as a disease is offered in his book Advanced Pranic Healing. This book talks about the chakras which are affected in this disease and what are the steps taken to address them. Few points which I would like to summarize here.
- Lower chakras are overactivated which is to say Meng mein chakras and the basic chakras are overactivated and filled with dirty red energy.
- The dirty red energy is what supplies energy to the cancer cells to grow. The dirty yellow energy has what are called cementing properties and the dirty red energy is the one used by the cancer cells for the growth.
Quite interesting that according to the modern medicine the cancer cells appropriate lot of nutrients for their own growth which they do by the means of the large number of blood vessels which grow to supply them. This is known as angiogenesis. There are certain foods which are known to be anti-angiogenic which can reverse these blood vessels which are forming almost like the roots of the weeds in a poorly maintained garden.

Meng mein chakra is the one which is also responsible for the distribution of the dirty energy to the various parts of the body. The overactivated meng mein chakra also causes high blood pressure. In other words, the meng mein chakra which is overactivated in the cancer is also overactivated in the high blood pressure condition. Master Choa hypothesizes in his book that some medicines which are used to treat the high blood pressure which actually normalizes the meng mein chakra could thus be used to potentially treat cancer. He offers an example of the garlic oil for the same. There have been several research studies in the preliminary stages which show that the garlic and its extracts could have anti-cancer effects.

How does this help us in the diet and deciding what to eat?
Curious as to what are the foods that could help us fight cancer, I googled several different foods and also the associated benefits. I then also looked up the PubMed for the research studies on the several types of foods.
Guess what, a large number of foods that exhibit anti-cancer benefits are also known to lower the blood pressure and also to lower blood sugar levels. In other words, they potentially normalize the meng mein chakra and thus perhaps display both the effects of being anti-cancer and lowering the blood pressure as well. Some examples are Ramphal and Soy. Both are known to lower the blood pressure and also are found to have anti-cancer effects. Here is a study on the blood pressure lowering effects of soya Associations of soybean products intake with blood pressure changes and hypertension incidence: the China-PAR project — PMC (nih.gov).
The diagnosis that you may have a gene which may be responsible for you to develop a disease like cancer or predisposes you to it does not mean that you can do nothing about it. Guess what there is a new field of study which is known as epigenetics which apparently talks about the changes in our genes due to the environment, we are in. They can be caused by exercise, meditation and guess what even diet. Yep, it is entirely possible that the diet can produce epigenetic changes in your body which can help in positively impacting your own genes through your habits to make a positive change. Here is a study which talks about that in detail Epigenetic diet: impact on the epigenome and cancer — PMC (nih.gov).
Master Choa in his book Advanced Pranic Healing actually suggests that the herbs be classified based on the color pranas. That is perhaps also applicable to the foods. There is a website which talks a lot about the foods and the color pranas they potentially contain which can help in various types of conditions. It will be great if we could have a detailed classification of the foods according to the color pranas contained and the potential effects. For example, papaya contains a lot of orange prana and is helpful in constipation. Garlic also contains orange prana.
We could then eat almost according to the things that one would want to attain in healing which is destruction of cancer cells, improving the immunity of the body and also strengthening the body to handle the therapies like the chemotherapy and radiation therapy. It will go a long way if we imbibe this integrated approach in the treatment and also then look at the preventive side of things. Does Electric Violet prana destroy cancer cells? If yes which foods? Violet prana is responsible for activating the upper chakras in the body and perhaps Tulsi is the plant that can do that. The question almost always is how much to eat? Can we use the scanning taught in the Pranic Healing School or use the Bio-Well GDV camera to study these effects in more detail? There are foods which are anti-angiogenic and immunomodulatory. You can find them in the book Eat to Beat Disease by Dr Wiliam Li. Its an absolute must read for anyone who is looking to eat healthy without losing their minds. How do they impact the chakras and the subtle body made of prana?
By combining the modern medicine and research with the ancient wisdom we could possibly find a way to overcome this deadly disease which is curse upon the modern world. As the world population ages there is likely going to be a further burden of these cases and the toll it takes on the families are immense at mental, physical and financial levels. Diet and alternative therapies could prove to be a wonderful ally to the modern medicine and if we could approach them with the same degree of inquisitiveness and thorough study. Maybe we can truly eat to not just beat cancer but to change our genes for the better.
An Ayurvedic perspective
The ayurvedic perspective if overlaid on this concept takes things to another level altogether. In Ayurveda, the concept of Prakriti is a very important one and it refers to individual constitution. It recognizes that each body is different and what works for one may not work for another, it emphasizes eating according to one's own constitution. Thus, it is entirely possible to overlay all the information gained from above to this theory by understanding one's own constitution and also the foods that will help one to be in harmony. Eating more Sattvic food is desirable and also the timing of the diet along with the things like how to chew and the combination of foods that can be eaten together will help in further refining the eating habits. A great book on the subject is The Wellness Sense by Om Swami. After reading a few books I was more confused than clear on the concept, but this book explains them very clearly. Also, there is a great food chart in the appendix which people can use to identify the foods that they want to eat.
The information above sounds overwhelming but once you start reading and take some time to understand them, they are actually quite simple to inculcate in one’s daily routine. You naturally lean to the things that make you feel healthier and more energetic. Just like one enjoys going to gym you could also enjoy eating great food!
This article is speculative in nature on the possibilities of a good diet and its benefits. Hopefully time permitting will try and write more in this topic and bring together the different ideas and research that is ongoing in the field.
