Low immunity after radiation therapy

My husband has had 7 weeks of radiation therapy and he is very weak. What can I give him to rebuild his strength and immunity?

Improving your husbands diet will be an important part of healing, concentrating on wholefoods and organic foods will help his system to regain strength and ensure nutrient status. Alkalising foods will also help to cleanse and nourish his system, these foods are water, lemon juice, vegetable juices, miso soup, fish, sprouts, nuts and seeds, green super foods (Wheatgrass, Chlorophyll, Spirulina) and organic meats
Reducing acidic foods in the diet will help the liver and lymphatic systems to cleanse and remove metabolic wastes, these foods are dairy, wheat, sugar, alcohol, processed and refined foods, coffee, tinned foods and deep fried fatty foods
Avoid sugar completely as it may suppress immunity further

Ensure that you follow a gentle exercise regime such as walking, yoga or swimming to help prime immunity in the convalescent stage of healing
Consider a gentle detoxification regime when your vitality and energy levels return
Meditation and deep breathing exercises are beneficial to improve immunity
