Article from Dr. Lenz

Scam
That does raise a question, the most alkaline area of the body is the colon (thanks to the pancreas), so how come we have cancer? Also, our cancer spreads mostly through the lymph system, which is the blood, so how does raising the alkaline help that?

Btw, the most acidic part of the body is the stomach, so why is this not the leading site for cancer?

Can you explain how these "other parts of the body" get their alkaline from food? What is the mode of transmission from the stomach?

Can you show a direct relation of the alkaline of your saliva to the alkaline of the lungs or the liver? For those of us on this board, those are the most likely spread sites, so that information would be useful as we make lifestyle decisions.

Funny you point to the anti-angiogenisis foods. The drugs mentioned in Lenz's letter ARE the anti-angiogenesis family of drugs that William Li has promoted. As noted in the letter, they did not work for stage 3 (and it should be noted that they failed in stage IV breast cancer as well). How is eating those foods (a basic good diet by the way, no harm in eating it) going to make that different?

Here are a couple of websites on blood PH (not cancer related, so the authors are not trying to prove a point):

Real questions Scam, do you have answers for them?

Best regards,

Hear hear blake
I have just spent such a long time reading this thread, I am now knackered! It's 12.30 am in London so I will be brief here as I need my beauty sleep. I agree with everything Blake has said, as he understands the subject so well. I have no desire to get into a peeing contest! But I really think some of you miss the point entirely. And I am not going to try where Blake failed. I do not agree with quakery of any description and trust the science myself. I was diagnosed with stage 2 nasal septum carcinoma. I did "dip" into some research about various dietary changes. Luckily I live with a man who is somewhat the mad scientist! He helped me through treatment and life after treatment. He helped me maintain a sensible way of thinking and not get carried away with all the quakery that one reads about alternative cancer treatment. I had a very good eating regime for many years prior to being diagnosed with cancer, plenty of exercise and a healthy slim physique. I ate loads of curcumin and other Indian spices, but still got cancer! The problem is this, as I see it, lots of people seem to make weird claims of diet and the fact their cancer has gone, and give very little creedance to the conventional medicine. I applaud my MDT and the treatment I received. I do not attribute my recovery to the litre of gorgeous blended fruit etc I drank everyday. For me the conventional treatment worked, I am today cured. What I would say is during treatment I wasn't just fighting cancer I had to stay fit enough to endure the treatment, which is often very punishing emotionally and physically and supplementing my diet to ensure I had adequate vitamins and minerals was constructive to give me the best possible chance for the conventional medicine to work. I cannot say whether or not I would have been able to respond as well to treatment if I had not worked at giving my body the best chance for staying strong, during this chemical physical and psychological onslaught that conventional treatment can often be. Being overweight is one of the major contributory factors in being diagnosed with cancer. Therefore, it is isn't rocket science to avail oneself of a sensible and balanced diet and lifestyle, simple changes is at that's required nothing radical. I ensure I eat 2/3 fresh vegetables daily with my meals, together with a couple pieces of fruit, so no hardship there lol. I love chocolate and have learnt to modify that. All this mumbo jumbo about foods and changing alkaline/acid levels is in my opinion nonsense Put simple, the body takes in raw materials as food, extracts vitamins/minerals as required and dumps the rest. Acid and alkaine levels throughout your body are maintained by your metabolism and not based on what you consume. I have not seen evidence here of Blake personally attacking anyone or guilty of any of the things that have been slung at him. It does seem that certain people just want to shoot the messenger though. So that's it from me. Conventional medicine, and I had loads of it, saved my life and I shall be eternally grateful. Love reading your posts Blake, keep em coming. Apologies for rambling, as I started off by saying I am very tired and just bashed this reply really fast.
