Garlic Porridge: Garlic’s lipid-soluble volatile oils activate macrophages, suppressing cancer cells. It also enhances immunity, boosting resistance—beneficial for cancer patient recovery. Use 30g peeled garlic and 100g glutinous rice, simmer until cooked.
Mushroom Porridge: Mushrooms contain a substance called “β-glucosidase,” which significantly enhances the body’s anticancer ability. They also contain an interferon inducer that triggers endogenous interferon production, aiding cancer treatment.
