​Healing Guides for Common Cancers- Kidney Cancer

There are two main kinds of kidney cancer: renal cell carcinoma and urothelial cell carcinoma. Less-common types include Wilms’ tumor, which young children are more likely to get. 
​

​Best foods to eat 

Your two kidneys are part of your urinary tract system. Their functions are to filter waste from your blood and make urine with which to carry waste into the bladder and out of the body. Healthy kidneys also produce a hormone, aldosterone, that helps to regulate blood pressure. Anything that interferes with filtering waste is potentially cancer-causing if it leads to prolonged exposure to environmental toxins, like heavy metals (cadmium, for example), pesticides, or over-the-counter pain medications. Keeping your toxic burden low is supportive of these organs.

To prevent or heal kidney cancer, try preparing meals that contain: 

  • Molybdenum (bell peppers)
  • Sulfur (cabbage and cauliflower)
  • Vitamin C (garlic and onion)
  • B vitamins (cranberries)
  • Quercetin (apples)
  • Anthocyanosides (acai, blueberries, chokeberries, black and red currants, eggplant, purple cauliflower, concord grapes, and dried red cabbage
  • Resveratrol (grapes)
  • Essiac tea (page 000)
  • Biotin (peanut butter made from organic, non- GMO peanuts—and nothing else) 

quick tips

  • Eat five or six small meals throughout the day instead of three bigger meals, so that your kidneys are never taxed by the need to filter massive amounts of waste at once.
  • If you are undergoing treatment for kidney cancer, work closely with your health-care providers to ascertain the correct amount of protein to eat. Too much protein can overwhelm a diseased kidney. Remember, everyone is different. Your needs may vary from another’s.
  • Thoroughly wash produce to ensure that all contaminants and chemical residue are gone. This will help reduce the toxic load on your kidneys.
