Mmmm. Unfortunately, 'cures' , 'treatments' and 'preventative measures' for cancer are big business. Even more unfortunate is that desperate and frightened people can be vulnerable to all manner of rip-offs by some of the most unscrupulous people on the planet. Please notice that I am not discriminating here between mainstream and alternative medicine. There are charlatans in the wings of both. That has been proven again and again.
The approach you are taking seems to be pretty low risk both from a health and financial perspective. If you think it is improving your general health, it can only be a good thing. Anything that moves us away from processed foods and towards better consideration of our diets must surely be sensible.
I'm OK with the flogging of books spruiking the latest fad. Everyone is entitled to an opinion; if they are honest about how they came to their conclusions it's easier to decide who's view you feel is worth consideration. I'm not OK with ill people forking out obscene amounts of money chasing miracle cures that only end in tears.
As Kath has pointed out, the evidence is not convincing that this particular approach will reduce your cancer risk. I too wish it was that simple.
