Green, mean, cancer-fighting machine: Mark Pilgrim’s health juice recipe

What you put in is what you get out, and that holds true for Mark Pilgrim. From positive affirmations to wholesome foods, the veteran radio presenter is taking his health seriously.

That’s because the Hot 1027 presenter is currently battling stage four lung cancer but is remaining hopeful for a full recovery and a clean bill of health.

MARK PILGRIM SHARES CANCER JOURNEY ON YOUTUBE CHANNEL

In a YouTube video sharing the details on his cancer journey, Mark Pilgrim revealed how his diet played a role in fighting the illness.

For him that included a 14 hour fast followed by a green juice. He said “I start with a big bowl of juicy greens which I blitz into a juice. Just the juice- because 75% of your immune system stems from your gut, so I want my gut to be as healthy as possible”.

For Mark Pilgrim’s “immune boosting” juice, he juices broccoli, celery, spinach, lemon and cucumber. He then adds ginger, garlic cloves, wheatgrass and drops of a tincture.

He added: “All that’s left is to say ‘bottom’s up’ and you’re going to smell of garlic for the rest of the day”.

In February, Mark Pilgrim was diagnosed with cancer for the second time.Starting off in his lungs, the cancer then metasized and spread into the star’s spine and lymph nodes.

‘I’M DEFYING THE ODDS’

Mark Pilgrim continued in another video of how he was tackling chemotherapy.

He said: “Despite the prognosis being quite dire, I’m defying the odds. I’m feeling better now than I was a couple months ago. I’ve been doing an integrated approach, as well as being very specific about my diet, about exercise and mind power”.

Mark Pilgrim also revealed that he was particular about the language he used when discussing his illness.

He added: “If youre undergoing chemotherapy, dont use that word where possible. I call it my ‘healing juice’, and while that drip is in me, I imagine it doing the most wonderful things in my body to make me well”.

Earlier this month Mark Pilgrim revealed how he beat Covid-19 after becoming infected with the virus for the second time.

In 1988 at the age of 18 years old, the presenter was diagnosed with aggressive stage three testicular cancer – which he also overcame. Twenty years later, Mark suffered a heart attack in the doctor’s office which left him with permanent damage. He has since claimed that a visit to his cardiologist revealed that his heart is in “perfect working order”.
