The 42-Day Juice Therapy, also known as the Breuss Cancer Cure, is a controversial but widely discussed alternative health regimen developed by Rudolf Breuss, an Austrian naturopath. He believed that cancer and other serious diseases could not survive without solid food and that carefully selected vegetable juices and herbal teas could “starve” cancer cells while nourishing the body.
🥕 What Is the 42-Day Breuss Juice Therapy?
The core of the therapy:
-
A strict 42-day fast consuming only specific raw vegetable juices and herbal teas.
-
No solid food, sugar, dairy, or processed items during the period.
🍅 Key Juice Blend (daily intake up to 500 ml total):
This is the Breuss Juice Mix:
-
Beetroot (main ingredient – powerful antioxidant)
-
Carrot
-
Celery root
-
Potato (optional, especially for liver-related cancers)
-
Radish (black radish)
These are juiced fresh and consumed in small sips throughout the day, never gulped, and only when you feel hungry.
🌿 Herbal Teas Recommended by Breuss:
-
Sage Tea (main tea; helps with inflammation, immunity)
-
Kidney tea blend (to detoxify the kidneys)
-
Cranesbill (Geranium robertianum) – thought to help detox and support blood health
-
St. John’s Wort, Peppermint, Lemon Balm – calming, digestive support
🧠 Breuss’ Belief:
-
Cancer cells feed on solid food, especially protein.
-
A juice-only diet deprives them of what they need, while healthy cells survive and detoxify.
-
The therapy cleanses the body and strengthens natural healing.
⚠️ Important Notes:
-
This is not a medically approved cancer treatment.
-
There is no scientific evidence that the Breuss diet cures cancer.
-
42 days without solid food can be risky, especially for those who are already weak, elderly, or undergoing conventional treatment.
✅ If You’re Considering Breuss Juice Therapy:
-
Always consult with your oncologist or healthcare provider first.
-
Use it as a complementary approach, not a replacement for proven medical therapies.
-
Consider a modified version with medical guidance if fasting for 42 days isn’t safe for you.
