Organic Soybean Soup with Dried Shiitake Mushrooms and Ginger

Have you heard of The Gerson Therapy?  If you have great.  If you have not, then get busy and do some research or by the book of the same name.  It is a whole foods treatment against cancer and other illnesses.  In the beginning of the book they tell a story of a ABC newscaster who was fired after working with ABC for 30 years because he wanted the nation to know about The Gerson Diet.  But the powerful commercial and political forces did not so they axed him.  Have you heard about President Nixon's "War On Cancer"?  That was 40 years ago and 100s of billions have been spent and still no cure has been found.  Why?  I really don't know why.  But I do wonder why so few highly professional experts in the field do not refer to diet and nutrition at all.  And now again our Commander in Chief is again declaring "War on Cancer".  But again he mentions nothing of diet and nutrition.  And today, not like in 1971 there are hundreds of articles and many books on the topic of Diet, Nutrition and Cancer or Degenerative Diseases.   So again I ask you, Why does our government not spend any of the billions of dollars of cancer research funds and research diet, nutrition and cancer?  We know why don't we.  If you have cancer you have to do the research that the funded experts do not do.  And you have to believe.  Take this soup for example; look at all the wonderful things that these little amazing vegetables can do for you.

Soybeans helps eliminate toxins from the body and are highly alkalizing.  They have a high protein content which is healthy for the body when not consuming meat protein.  Soybeans are a legume difficult to digest so make sure they are soaked for 24 hours and then cooked until nice and soft.

Shiitake Mushrooms is a natural source of interferon, a protein which appears to induce an immune response against cancer especially stomach and cervix.   They are a good source of germanium, an element that improves cellular oxygenation and enhances immunity.

Ginger and cumin combine well with bean dishes to diminish problems of flatulence.  Ginger helps with the feeling of nausea associated with chemotherapy treatments.  

Onion and Garlic help to eliminate toxins from the body as well as unfavorable bacteria.  They help to promote the growth of healthy intestinal flora.  They also help lower cholesterol and blood pressure.

Carrots are one of the richest sources of the anti-oxident beta-carotene (vitamin A), which protects against cancer.  They help improve the livers function and helps the stimulation of wastes.
