Rudolf Breuss, an Austrian naturopath who promoted alternative cancer treatments, developed the “Breuss Total Cancer Treatment”, a strict 42-day regimen of vegetable juice that he claimed helped cure cancer entirely.

He based his recipes and his research on cancer on the belief that cancer cells can’t survive without solid food and would eventually “starve” during the process of fasting.

Breuss claimed that his alternative cancer treatments helped thousands.

He published his ideas in a 1979 book called “The Breuss Cancer Cure” originally published in German but translated into many languages.

Breuss also promoted his method for treating leukemia and other “incurable” illnesses.

His method and treatments, however, are considered a pseudoscientific alternative therapy and there is no clinical or scientific proof that they cure cancer.

Despite the scepticism by some, Breuss’ book remains popular worldwide in alternative health circles and many claim his method indeed helped them in the battle with the disease.

The Breuss juice recipe combines 550 g of beetroot, 200 g of carrot, 200 g of celery, 3 g of potato, and 2 g of radish, all washed, peeled, and blended into a smooth drink to be consumed daily for 42 days.

Supporters of this regimen claim it strengthens the immune system, cleans the blood, and supplies energy. Most notably, it’s said to “starve” cancer cells by depriving them of solid food while still nourishing the body with essential nutrients.

Beetroot contains antioxidants, Vitamin C, B vitamins, folic acid, and key minerals like potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and zinc. Its deep red pigment, betacyanin, is a potent antioxidant.

Some studies suggest that compounds in beetroot, particularly betaine, an amino acid, may have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and possible anti-cancer effects.

Besides its effects on people with cancer, the juice can also be consumed by healthy individuals for improving their overall health and well-being.

Beetroot is said to support liver and gallbladder function, aid digestion, and ease issues like headaches, joint pain, skin conditions, and menstrual discomfort. Its high folic acid levels make it beneficial for pregnancy.
