Recently, researchers have been able to piece together the precise mechanism of action that makes green tea and red wine extracts, when used together, active against prostate cancer.

Sources:

1.    The sphingosine kinase-1 survival pathway is a molecular target for the tumor-suppressive tea and wine polyphenols in prostate cancer

2.    Polyphenols in red wine and green tea halt prostate cancer growth

There has a great deal of very promising scientific research  surrounding the use of resveratrol, ellagic acid, and other plant components during chemotherapy and radiation treatments. But due to their powerful antioxidant activity there is concern how the use of polyphenols will impact treatment.

The decision to use resveratrol and polyphenol blends such as Vivix during cancer treatment is a decision that should be made between the individual and their physician.

We have collected a list of research articles citing promising research. We encourage you to do your own research and discuss risks and benefits with your oncologist.

The Gerson Institute is a non-profit organization located in San Diego, California, dedicated to the alternative, non-toxic treatment of disease, using the Gerson Therapy.

The Gerson Therapy is a safe, natural treatment developed by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1920’s that uses organic foods, juicing, coffee enemas, detoxification and natural supplements to activate the body’s ability to heal itself.  Over the past 60 years, thousands of people have used the Gerson Therapy to recover from so-called “incurable” diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.

Acid and Alkaline Foods List (PDF)

What determines whether a food is acid or alkaline? It's not how the food tastes, rather it is the "residue" that is left behind after digestion which determines whether or not a food is acidic. For example some foods generally thought of acidic, such as tomatoes, are actually alkalizing to the tissues because after digestion the "residue" is alkaline.
