Luckily, there is a cancer treatment that can help improve all of these factors: eating good food.  \nMost dogs like food, and many crave a good diet – what I call a Wild Diet – as much as they crave sunshine and a walk outside. A good cancer diet, like the one described in this chapter, can accomplish several important tasks:  \n• Feed your dog’s healthy cells foods dense with nutrition to keep them strong.  \n• Help restore weight and muscle mass.  \n• Eliminate foods that do not help your dog – or worse, may help the cancer.  \nIn Chapter 8 we enumerated some of the carcinogens found in some commercially prepared dog foods, but carcinogens aren’t the only problem. For example, protein that has been processed loses some bioavailability in the body. The bioavailability of key minerals, such as iron, zinc and calcium, is also significantly affected by the levels of fiber, phytic acid and tannin in foods. These substances can be reduced or altered by milling, fermentation, germination, extrusion and thermal (heat) processing.Vitamins, especially ascorbic acid, thiamin and folic acid, are also highly sensitive to some  \nprocessing methods.  \nIn this chapter, we’ll explore food a little bit more, including what to include in your dog’s diet, some important supplements that have not been fully discussed yet, how to switch your dog to his new diet, and my step-bystep approach to making a meal for a dog with cancer.  \nI have two pieces of good news for you. The first is that when you feed your dog according to this recipe, you are helping him immediately.The dog cancer diet is made up exclusively of foods that encourage healthy cells and discourage cancer growth.  \nThe second piece of good news is that your dog is likely to love switching to this diet. It’s composed of hu-  \nWhen you feed your dog according to this recipe, you are helping him immediately. The dog cancer diet is made up exclusively offoods that encourage healthy cells and discourage cancer growth.  \nman food, and most dogs like to eat tasty, lovingly prepared human food.  \nLet’s get a quick overview of what dogs used to eat in the wild, because this Wild Diet is the basis for our dog cancer diet.  \nThe Wild Diet  \nA dog’s natural diet consists of protein, fat and some vegetables (usually not grains, like corn and wheat).We know this by looking at what dogs and their relatives eat in the wild.  \nDogs and their wild cousins (wolves, coyotes, foxes, etc.) eat freshly killed animals, not highly processed kibble.They typically satisfy their wild cravings by hunting prey animals, like deer and rabbits.These prey animals feed on plants and grasses, which are naturally full of vitamins and minerals.  \nAfter the wolves take the prey down, their first target is the internal organs. These rich, meaty organs are filled with nutrients, derived from plant material. After devouring the organ meat, wolves tear into the flesh and bones as a second helping.  \nA dog with cancer often loses weight and becomes physically weak. Feeding him a good cancer diet, based on his wild cravings, may help counter some of those side effects.  \nIn fact, according to human cancer research, including that done by Sir Richard Doll, a British epidemiologist (awarded Knighthood and several other honors for his work with cancer), about one third of cancers can be prevented just by improving the diet.  \nRaw Foods and Cancer  \nSome dog lovers believe that feeding their dogs only raw foods – raw meat, raw bones, raw vegetables – is closer to the healthy,“wild diet” I describe above.  \nI have no objection to a fresh, raw diet for healthy dogs with normal, non-cancerous body cells. After all, based on human studies, cooking food can create carcinogenic compounds, which could actually set the stage for cancer development (see Chapter 8) .  \nGiven thi","cbCaikpicIwpUMuN","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikpicIwpUMuN","pdf",1963734,"English","# Chapter 14: Step Four, Diet\n## The rationale for a cancer diet\n## Wild Diet as the foundation\n## Raw Foods and Cancer\n## Cooking Meat for Your Dog","[{\"question\":\"What is the main goal of the cancer diet described in Chapter 14?\",\"answer\":\"The diet aims to encourage healthy cells, discourage cancer growth, improve quality of life, restore weight and muscle mass, and remove foods that may help the cancer.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the chapter argue that an all-raw diet is not good for dogs with cancer?\",\"answer\":\"It states that dogs with cancer have different body chemistry and compromised immune systems, and that replicating fresh kills is difficult; raw foods can also carry microbes and parasites that may not be controlled.\"},{\"question\":\"How does food processing affect mineral and vitamin availability according to the chapter?\",\"answer\":\"The chapter explains that processing and certain ingredients like fiber, phytic acid, and tannin can significantly reduce the bioavailability of key minerals, and that vitamins such as ascorbic acid, thiamin, and folic acid are sensitive to processing methods.\"}]","Chapter 14 - Step Four, Diet | PDF",1790528098]
