Is Beta Glucan An Anti-cancer Supplement?

Posted on Wed, 28 Jun 2017

Question: I have colorectal cancer and am wondering if beta1,3/1,6 glucan might help to get rid of the cancer. I am in stage one cancer and have seen several articles that say this item might help my immune system to fight the cancer. I am already on a strict diet of green juice from spinich, XXXXXXX celery and cucumber and some solid foods, like avacado to help my body by raising the PH of everything coming into my body. I also have an alkalizer that raises my tap water from 7.2 ph to 9.5 ph and that is the only thing I drink besides the juice mentioned above.
Respectfully,
XXXXXXX XXXX

Brief Answer:
Hello. You need not to afraid. Relax

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have gone through the details. So there is no such evidence in literature that suggests beta gluca helps fight cancer. However diet rich in fresh fruits and veggies and devoid of red meat helps. As you said you have stage one cancer, you need not to afraid as stage one disease has excellwnt prognosis. Also regular physical exercise will help.
Thanks and regards

Hello Dr. Sundriyal,
Just one more question; What is the fastest that someone has conquered cancer? I am planning on staying on the High PH diet for the rest of my life, but I think I should beat the cancer in about 9 months. Is it normal for my surgeon to take another sample from the cancerous area in just 3 months after the surgery?
Respectfully,

Brief Answer:
Cancer develops in colon in 8 to 10 years

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

Cancer development in colon takes place in 10 years. If surgery is complete, there is no need of repeat biopsy. Just a colonoscopy in 5 years is required.

Thanks and regards
