Preparing carrot juice is not a difficult task; you can start and finish the entire process for as little as 20 to 30 minutes. That being said, there are various methods of making the juice; nonetheless, whichever method you employ should give you the same or almost the same level of nourishment.
What you need
- Four or more carrots (preferably fresh or organic)
- A blending machine or juicer
To make carrot juice for the purpose of cancer prevention or treatment you will need to follow the steps below:
Method 1: Using a blending machine
- Take off the leafy tops of the carrots.
- Wash the carrots using water (Use a vegetable wash solution if the carrots are not organic).
- Cut the carrots into small chunks.
- Place the carrots in the blending machine and blend for juice.
- Occasionally pour some little amounts of water into the blender to make a puree.
- When you are done blending, mix the carrot puree with a cup of boiled water and stir.
- Using a hand strainer, filter the juice
- Finally, allow the carrot juice to steep/cool for some time and serve.
Method 2: Using a juicer

Drink the fresh carrot juice.
You need to drink at least three glasses of the carrot juice every day.
When to consume the carrot juice
It is recommended that you consume the carrot juice immediately (not more than 20 minutes)after preparation. This is due to the fact that leaving the juice exposed after juicing will make it start losing its potency due to oxidization. If you prefer to consume the carrot juice later or for some reason cannot be able to take it immediately after preparation, then it is advised that you hermetically cover the juice and put in the refrigerator.
You can add other fruits with the carrot to make a nourishing fruit juice blend. Fruits that can be added to carrot include apples, bananas, and other fruits that have cancer-fighting capabilities.
How to take Carrot juice for cancer prevention & Treatment
For the prevention of cancer, it is recommended that you use only raw carrots in preparing the juice, but then, there is no harm in throwing in other fruits and vegetables like garlic, celery, apples, onion, etc, which are also beneficial in the prevention of the multifarious disease. Consuming three cups daily helps to inhibit the growth of tumors in cancer patients while drinking more than three cups assist in reducing the size of the tumors.
For the purpose of cancer treatment, you can bring some kale, parsley, spinach, broccoli, etc, to make a carrot juice cocktail which is also healthy and great in fighting cancer.? Drink a minimum of five cups daily if you want to get rid of the tumors. You?ll have to do this for months in order to reap the benefits. Like in the story of Ann which was shared in the introduction, you may not see any improvements until after several months or even years. CONSISTENCY IS KEY.
You should ensure that you go for CT (Computed Tomography) scans to ascertain the improvement ? how the tumors are shrinking or disappearing ?in order to choose whether to continue with the treatment or not.
Risks and adverse side effects of consuming carrot juice
Like we?ll always say, everything should be done in moderation. The consumption of carrot juice offers innumerable health benefits when taken appropriately.? For one, it is highly advised that carrot juice should not be the primary meal in your diet. This is because of the fact that carrots do not have enough dietary fiber; thus, over consumption can lead to constipation or other digestive system problems.
Also, it has been found that excess consumption of carrot juice can lead to jaundice due to the high concentration of beta-carotene in carrots.
Carrots are rich sources of vitamin A; hence, there is a risk of vitamin A intoxication. Apart from these, an over-reliance on carrot juice can lead to an addiction or craving while disengagement from the craving can lead to insomnia or anxiety.
Carrots offer many health benefits; however, for the purpose of this article, we have considered how the fruit can be juiced for preventing and fighting cancer. It is important to state here, however, that the use of carrot juice for the treatment of cancer should be done after due consultation with a medical doctor. This is because of the fact that cancer is a complicated disease with several types requiring virtually different methods of treatment.
