A vegan diet promotes an alkaline blood system. If that is the correct link as we suspect, then vegan happens to be one way to get there. Ingesting baking soda somehow is also found to work as not eating sugar and processed carbs.
And yes, eating a lot of meat is not helpful but that is a side issue here. Fermented milk products are safe enough and i suspect fermented red meat will also work if it is available. Because all this is actually not worked out properly, it is best to limit meat to a single portion a week.
The real measure though is to test your urine for acid content daily. That will tell you where you are at.

Study: Vegan Blood Is 8x More Effective At Killing Cancer Cells

Eschewing animal products isn’t only good for the planet, it improves your odds of living a long and healthy life!
At present, 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women
in the United States will develop cancer in their lifetimes.
Furthermore, the number of cancer cases is expected to double by the
year 2050. Obviously, this news is distressing. However, there is hope,
and the solution could be as simple as eating more unprocessed
plant-based foods.
According to a study conducted in 2005, scientists have learned that
blood taken from vegans is 8 times more effective at killing cancer cells than blood taken from those following a Standard American Diet.
A series of experiments helped unearth these findings. Collective Evolution relays
that test subjects were assigned opposing diets which they maintained
for over a year. After participants’ blood was taken, it was pitted
against cancer cells in a petri dish. The ultimate goal was to determine
which diet resulted in blood that was more effective at suppressing
cancer growth in the prostate.
The study states:
“Experimental group patients were prescribed an intensive lifestyle program that included a vegan diet supplemented with soy (1 daily serving of tofu plus 58 gm of a fortified soy protein powdered beverage), fish oil (3 gm daily), vitamin E (400 IU daily), selenium (200 mcg daily) and vitamin C (2 gm daily), moderate aerobic exercise (walking 30 minutes 6 days weekly), stress management techniques (gentle yoga based stretching, breathing, meditation, imagery and progressive relaxation for a total of 60 minutes daily) and participation in a 1-hour support group once weekly to enhance adherence to the intervention.10 The diet was predominantly fruits, vege- tables, whole grains (complex carbohydrates), legumes and soy products, low in simple carbohydrates and with approx- imately 10% of calories from fat.11 The diet is intensive but palatable and practical. In earlier studies most patients were able to adhere to this diet for at least 5 years.” (source)
The blood belonging to vegan eaters had nearly eight times the stopping
power when it comes to cancer cell growth. It is important to note that
participants on the plant-based diet also partook in stress management
groups, yoga, and other techniques to show how lifestyle choices effect
cancer.

Subsequent studies
against breast cancer revealed the power of eating plants for just two
weeks. A dramatic strengthening of cancer defenses was shown after 14
days of a plant-based diet and light exercise (walking between 30 to 60
minutes a day).
Samples of blood were taken from women with breast cancer,
and then the women were asked to spend 14 days on a plant-based diet
and perform 30-60 minutes of light exercise daily. After 14 days their
blood was taken again and found to significantly slow down the growth of
cancer, as well as increase the blood’s ability to kill cancer cells.
However, because scientists wanted to determine how much effect the
exercise component had in suppressing cancer growth, or whether the
plant-based diet was solely responsible for the boost in defense, a separate experiment was conducted.
The results found that exercise helps suppress cancer growth, but a
plant-based diet alone has twice as much power to kill cancer cells.
Clearly, lifestyle changes can have a huge impact on one’s long-term
health and quality of life. And, having blood that’s more inhospitable
to cancer growth is just one major health advantage of consuming a vegan
diet. Other benefits include reducing carbon output and saving hundreds of animals’ lives each year.
