    I’m visual so that really helps. I’ll give it a try. The greens looked like arugula. Does it really matter? I don’t even consider iceberg lettuce as greens btw. Thanks again!

    • Great!
      I think those greens were baby romaine. We alternate between that and spinach, kale, arugula, mache, etc.
      And no it doesn’t matter much what greens you use as long as they’re organic and dark green.
      :)

    they need to sell Sprinkle in bulk, 1 of my favorite ways to do it is on bread with olive oil and parm cheese toasted which i’m sure is not the healthiest but you could prob substitute with a sprouted non- dairy adaptation of it…

    • Hey Jenna! Yep we’re totally fiends for the Sprinkle and it’s all your fault.
      You should try the Organic Valley Raw Mild Cheddar if you haven’t already. Whole Foods has it and
      we buy it every week. Super yum.

    love your site try to eat healthy wife just diagnosed witth endometrial cancer not sure extent scan tommorow trying to get her to change diet my question; a lot of sites talk about ph malking sure u r alkaline how important is it to focus on this- eating lots o raw foods this s not a problem but what if u dont thanks john

    • Hi John
      So sorry to hear about your wife’s condition. I believe raw foods are critical to healing.
      Because they are alkaline forming, but also because you are feeding your body the raw, useable
      nutrients it needs to detox and heal itself.

    Just found your website yesterday. I am presently fighting breast cancer, heart disease and gallbladder disease!!! So..your site was inspirational. I have been eating ‘raw’ since August 1st. Yes, I LOVE my twice daily salads already….and added the tumeric, caynenne and curry spices to my salad as your demo inspired me. Very tasty. I change up my salads daily with a variety of cancer fighting vegies and as I am drinking my carrot juices/barley green drink 8 to 10 times a day my body has already begun it’s awesome healing. Your site seems to meet my needs and hope this lifestyle will be a life-long endeavor as my hubby and I both are doing it together! God Bless you and your family for sharing such encouraging words and examples!

    • Hi Jeri!
      That is fantastic, not the cancer of course, but that you have taken control of your health.
      You are doing exactly what I did. Stay focused on the strict diet and make sure you
      exercise a lot to keep your lymphatic system moving.
      Please keep me posted on your progress, I am looking forward to your good reports!

      Chris

  8. Dear Chris Beat Cancer,

    That is one rainbow color nutrient dense cancer fighting salad ,and delicious as well. I like your presentation of it Chris. I would like to add that using imagination of Natures whole raw foods will give so many varieties so be creative. I like to pour my green smoothie over top some times. Organic cold pressed apple cider vinegar will help assist your stomachs production of hydrochloric Acid. Some times I put some seed like Pumpkin, sesame,dry onion and garlic with chili pepper in my small milling machine that came with my blender. Sprinkle on top for a nutty savory taste. The list of options are endless, again nice salad and great raw food presentation. Thanks

    Hey Chris, I since I discovered you I never get tired of your posts. recommendations and stories. Just watched your salad video. You know I am confused about oils, did you read the China Study and Forks over Knives. They seem to stress that we need to stay low fat, but I’m wondering what that actually means, I of course don’t eat fat except a little olive oil but who knows how much. How do you feel?
    xxoo Lynda

    • Hi Lynda Thanks!
      The China Study and Forks Over Knives are both biased toward vegetarian/veganism.
      I agree with some but not all of it. Many people need animal protein.
      Raw milk and eggs are amazing foods, as is honey!
      Of course 100% clean sources of animal products are critical.
      At some point I’ll write a big post about The China Study/F.O.N. flaws…
      Some of the best fats on the planet are raw butter, coconuts, avocados, olive and flax seed oil.
      I eat a ton of fats (mostly coconut everyday) and I feel great!

      There’s also book I recommend called “Fats that Heal, Fats that Kill” by Udo Erasmus,
      if you really want to dig into it.

      :)

    Hello Chris,
    26 years ago they diagnosed a melanoma in my right eye which the doctors advised me to have removed immediately. My spiritual teacher advised me instead to go onto a raw diet, which I did for almost a year. I was 30 years old at the time. The tumour remained in my eye but did not spread or change for those 26 years.
    Unfortunately in January this year the eye really deteriorated and had to be taken out and my eyesight, left, not the best. I did not stay raw through all those years at all…I was beginning after a year on raw to feel strung out…and 26 years ago I was fairly much on my own – I think support through all these things is so necessary, and guidance when practising still controversial holistic health.
    Anyway – once again I am undertaking raw health, and wondered if you could advise me on how best to start to kick start the process…I’ve been reading a bit about green juices????
    Am off to buy a blender and rebounder today!
    Very good work – and many many thanks for your site
    Alii.

    Hi Chris! Been following For a long time and have been meaning to thank you for your support and tips! I truly admired you even more since your positive attitude and involvement to your trip to new York, when the big weekend seminar had its big political mess up–and also watched you jump on rebounder mini trampoline last week and NOw this delicious salad!!! My partner refused chemo after her double mastectomy in feb. of 2011 and as her biggest supporter and cheerleader I eat healthier ( and feel better and lost weight). I love the suggestions on your site– which I always print or send her way. LOVE THE SALAD! I make the exact same dressing. I also use a tiny bit of organic Dijon mustard diced organic garlic and onion and some celery seed– can’t wait to try the braggs seasonings and curry you use! I may take the challenge and eat two salads a day too!! Do you miss protein? Or do the nuts work out for that?

  12. Christin says:

    http://snipurl.com/curemycancer that is given to get the free recipe to cure cancer and maybe order his book, does not exist. :-(

    Snips are typically deleted because they are often SPAM? This makes me skeptical.

    Hello Chris,

    I had an endoscopy performed and will more than likely have a colonoscopy done soon as i am bleeding when i use the restroom and my rectum is painful. the doctor said that i have inflamed stomach lining and acid is flowing freely in and out of my duodenum. The flap is not closing properly. I also had a tumor removed 11 years ago along with a portion of my colon. Now i have to balance in high fibrous or harder foods such as meat along with softer foods in my diet. i can’t eat only raw veggies and i can’t eat only seeds and nuts. I am going to try your delicious looking cancer fighting salad you make in your website video. it does look tasty but i will be able to take in a few bites at a single meal since they are all raw foods. Have you any advice you can give me. I would be so grateful as i’m in great pain from my GERD and bowel movements.

    • Tim says:

      All your posts and videos provide information that assist people to live a longer life.

    • Hi Tim, those are definitely complicated symptoms…
      If I was having those issues I would water fast and juice fast to give my digestive system a break and the opportunity to heal.
      If you have a lot of body fat you can fast for a long time,
      Your body will burn through all your fat first before it breaks down vital tissue like muscles and organs.
      Many have water fasted for 40 days and/or juice fasted for up to 90 days.
      Watch the movie “Fat Sick and Nearly Dead”.

      Probiotics and fermented foods like kefir and sauerkraut promote good bacteria in your intestines
      which is essential for normal digestive function.
      Also if you can’t eat veggies raw, eat them cooked. Just eat them.
      Cooking may destroy some nutrients and enzymes, but it makes other nutrients more absorbable.
      :)

    Hi Chris,
    I read your posts everyday and salute you for all the good work you’re doing for the community. God Bless!
    We have switched to the raw diet and complete change in lifestyle. My wife is noticing that there is a lot of gas build up as a result of raw veges. (probably)As a result there is pressure upwards causing chest pain. How do you think this can be controlled? She is doing yoga and taking ‘divya gashar churna’.
    Thanks

    • Chris Wark says:

      It can take some time for the body to acclimate to raw foods. He should not be constipated though… Eating lots of plant food should have the opposite effect because of all the fiber. Make sure she is drinking lots of water and vegetable juice to stay hydrated. Also taking digestive enzymes with meals should help.

  15. Colleen says:

    Chris
    I love what I have read I am a salad person but of course
    Used bottled dressings and lots of other toxic stuff (sugar)

    If you can advise other diets So much information i dont want to od on vitamins minerals and good food

    Thanks
    Colleen

  16. Ik says:

    Hi chris, thank you for a great work I was interested in getting Arunava’s question to be addressed because my brother is diagnosed with lung cancer adinocarcinoma stage 4 and he has started vegetable diet but started having constipations and building up gas if you can help

    I am a 32 year old man.Jan 2013 I was diagnosed with Teste Cancer( Embryonal Germ cell) and Thyroid cancer(Papillary) I had 3 surgeries. The docs removed a testicle, my Thyroid with 4 lymph nodes, and 25 lymph nodes from my right side abdomen. They are now saying I have thyroid tissue and / or thyroid cancer left behind but they cant see where. I am now supposed to get a PET scan, Bone scan, and another CT. Possibly another surgery. Then Radio Iodine treatment to kill what ever is left behind. I am tired of being cut up. I feel like the doctors are practicing their skills on me. When they did the surgery on my abdomen they took 25 lymph nodes and all where cancer free. I just found out about your blog and watched your story. I am adopting the salads, smoothies and I am about 75 percent raw diet. I am Juicing as well. I am going to do a liver detox before I go 100 percent. I understand that when a person goes on a raw diet the liver releases a lot of the stored up toxins. I don’t want to be a lab rat for the doctors anymore. Any advice, thoughts, or trusted studies on beating thyroid cancer without Radio Iodine? Sorry so long of a post

  18. David Knopfer says:

    I am trying the salads and juices and smoothies as your recipe is listed. Do I need to do a detox?

  19. paulette says:

    Hi Chris,

    would it be as affected if the raw veggies
    were put into a blender ? also, consume the antioxidant fruits the same day.

  20. Ren says:

    Where do I obtain tender coconuts? I am in London, UK.
    Thanks

  21. Hazel says:

    This looks amazing!!! I will definitely be making this. Thanks for posting.

  22. Yvonne says:

    I am so glad you were on Rickie Lake Show and your website address was published there! Love your website! Have subscribed to your news. Will be publishing what you say on my FB. I am mostly raw, with some cooked vegan foods (beans, lentils). I am grateful for everything you say! I was diagnosed with beast cancer 14 years ago, had chemo and radiation b/c back then I hadn’t heard of Gerson Institute or Hippocrates Institute. The chemo was killing me so my oncologist had to stop it. I got only 6 treatments, instead of 10. I have a new primary doctor and she doesn’t understand chemo is worthless and food can heal. She sent me to have a mammogram done which showed a new “something” which they were not sure if it was cancer. She insisted on me meeting a surgeon! So I had a thermography breast cancer screening (thermography detects cancer six years befor mammogram does, and according to doctor Mercola mammogram can cause cancer). I had to pay the thermography myself b/c insurance doesn’t cover it, but it was worth it. It showed I am healthy, no breast cancer! My doc pushed the thermography result to the side, saying: this is not our protocol. She sent me to the surgeon. I never went. The whole thing was so stressful to me that I got irregular heart beat and ended up in a hospital! Now I have to take heart medicine! What an insanity! I say I am grateful for everything you say b/c I know what you say is the truth! I will let my doctor know about your website! Thank you for everything you do to help others with their health problems!

    Hello Chris!! I’m from Brazil. Thank God I do not have cancer, but I get angry of the industry of food and medicine (and also cosmetics) because they are selling poison every day to us.
    I’m trying to eliminate as much all processed foods.
    Let me ask you something: do you eat raw broccoli? If I cook them they will not be healthy anymore?
    God bless you Chris!!

Hi there!

My name is Chris Wark.
I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer in 2003, at 26 years old.
I had surgery, but refused chemo.
Instead I used nutrition and natural therapies to heal myself.
By the grace of God, I'm alive and kicking, and cancer-free!
