Please have your daughter's friend add these dietary measures to her daily diet. They WILL NOT HARM her and could actually help her.

1. Chop or crush raw or semi-raw (cooked 4 minutes or less) cruciferous vegetables and allow to sit for at least 10 minutes before consumption or more cooking. (Thorough chewing will do the job too.)

These vegetables contain micronutrients inside the cell and within the cell wall which, when activated, have anti-cancer effects. When the different micronutrients are able to interact with each other in a raw state because the cell walls have been crushed it greatly amplifies their effectiveness.

If the vegetables are cooked without crushing/chopping beforehand, after over about 4 minutes of cooking, their effectiveness is reduced because the different micronutrients were not able to interact with each other in their raw state - though by no means is their effectiveness eliminated entirely.

If making a soup, combine some raw cruciferous vegetable with water and put in a blender. Allow to sit for several minutes before heating as part of your soup base cooking liquid.

cruciferous = broccoli, cauliflower, kale, collards, mustard greens, cabbage, bok choi, turnips, brussel sprouts, even radishes ; there are many choices!

2. Ditto for allium (onion family) vegetable preparation. Chop / crush raw allium vegetables before consumption or cooking and add to your soup base in the same manner.

allium = garlic, onions, shallots, spring onions, leeks

** For example, cloves of garlic combined with a few leaves of kale combined with a few cups of water and thoroughly liquified in a blender make a quick easy soup base. Allow to sit for several minutes and give the micronutrients time to interact with each other while raw before heating the liquid. **

3. Ground flax seed consumed daily is beneficial against some types of breast cancers. No more than a tablespoon a day max. Seeds can be ground in a coffee bean grinder and added to smoothies, oatmeal, etc.
