Episode 5: Eating Away at Cancer<br />
Ty: [Dr. Roby], what would be a diet that you, a general diet, that<br />
you could recommend that would keep <strong>the</strong> immune system strong<br />
and prevent <strong>cancer</strong><br />
Dr. Roby Mitchell: So when I started working with Dr. Wright, one of<br />
<strong>the</strong> things that I had been involved with was treating people for <strong>the</strong><br />
fungal overgrowth that happens in our body. And <strong>the</strong> thing that I started<br />
to realize—one of <strong>the</strong> things that I realized years before that was that<br />
<strong>the</strong> common denominator of any of <strong>the</strong>se natural herbal plant, exotic<br />
fruit, super food remedies that work, <strong>the</strong> common denominator with<br />
<strong>the</strong>m was that <strong>the</strong>y had some powerful antifungal in <strong>the</strong>m, right. And<br />
that’s what garlic, that’s what aspirin, that’s what <strong>the</strong>se polyphenolic<br />
compounds in <strong>the</strong> skin of red grapes, <strong>the</strong> resveratrol.<br />
So I went into <strong>the</strong> lab and I started investigating, well, which foods are<br />
<strong>the</strong> highest in <strong>the</strong>se—or not necessarily which foods are <strong>the</strong> highest,<br />
but which foods had <strong>the</strong> most impact on controlling candida overgrowth.<br />
And so I set up Petri dishes right <strong>the</strong>re in <strong>the</strong> lab. And we inoculated<br />
<strong>the</strong>m with candida. And <strong>the</strong>n we just went <strong>about</strong> inoculating <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong>n<br />
with extracts from different fruits and vegetables and so forth to see<br />
which ones made <strong>the</strong> biggest, what we call, zone of exclusion in <strong>the</strong><br />
Petri dish, right And so we had <strong>the</strong> Petri control down here with a<br />
medication call Diflucan that we know kills yeast, right. And so we knew<br />
that it was going to leave a big clear space in <strong>the</strong>re, right, where it didn’t<br />
allow yeast to grow. And <strong>the</strong>n down here we have just water, right. And<br />
so that plate just grew white with yeast overgrowth because <strong>the</strong>re was<br />
nothing to inhibit it. And <strong>the</strong>n all <strong>the</strong>se o<strong>the</strong>r plates I was able to see,<br />
you know, which ones worked better or worse at keeping yeast under<br />
control. So with that, that was <strong>the</strong> spring board for what is now called<br />
<strong>the</strong> BALI plan—B-A-L-I. And BALI’s standing for—that’s an acronym for<br />
basic antioxidant/antifungal, and <strong>the</strong>n low insulin.<br />
So we want to—and regardless of <strong>the</strong> name that you call it, right, where<br />
<strong>the</strong>re’s <strong>the</strong> ______ [00:26:23] <strong>the</strong>rapy or <strong>the</strong> paleo diet or Mediterranean<br />
diet or whatever, what is going to work as far as keeping cells out of an<br />
environment that incents <strong>the</strong>m to pleomorph into <strong>cancer</strong> cells is one that<br />
keeps <strong>the</strong> yeast under control, right. It keeps you from developing fungal<br />
overgrowth because when that fungus gets up to a certain level <strong>the</strong>n<br />
your immune system is going to response with <strong>the</strong> weapons of mass<br />
destruction and it’s going to create a toxic environment and your cells<br />
are going to cough and choke and <strong>the</strong>y’re going to start changing into a<br />
cellular form that will allow <strong>the</strong>m to survive that toxic environment. So<br />
again, regardless of what you’d call it, <strong>the</strong> food that you eat has to be<br />
food that keeps fungal growth under control and doesn’t throw gasoline<br />
on <strong>the</strong> fire.<br />
