A macrobiotic diet can cure cancer and metastatic tumors spreading from the lip to the jaw.

A 64-year-old woman with a large tumor on her lip followed a macrobiotic diet in the belief that it would stop the tumor from growing. Three years later, her body deteriorated and the tumor metastasized.

The patient's tumor is now large, occupying the entire lip and mouth area, bleeding, and making eating and drinking impossible. On June 7th, Dr. Ngo Xuan Quy, Head of the Head and Neck Surgery Department at K Hospital, stated that the CT scan results showed a large tumor in the lower lip measuring 15x20 cm, invading the lower jawbone, floor of the mouth, and tongue, with multiple lymph nodes in both sides of the neck measuring 2-3 cm.

The patient was diagnosed with lower lip cancer, was in a weakened state, had severe diabetes with blood glucose levels fluctuating around 20 mmol/l. The tumor had extensively invaded the surrounding tissue, requiring a large resection area, so the doctors had to carefully consider their options before deciding on surgery.

"If the patient hadn't followed the macrobiotic diet and had sought medical attention earlier, treatment would have been much simpler," Dr. Quy said, adding that without surgery, the tumor would grow larger, rupture, ulcerate, and bleed, putting the patient at risk of death.

On June 1st, surgeons removed the entire tumor and metastatic lymph nodes in the neck area. After the surgery, the patient was able to eat, talk, and continued to receive monitoring, treatment, and reconstructive surgery.

The macrobiotic diet is a diet consisting of brown rice and beans, excluding meat and fish. Dr. Quy stated that many people believe the macrobiotic diet can treat cancer. In reality, there is no scientific basis or research to prove that macrobiotics is a method of treating cancer.
