“Cancer Can Be Defeated”: Navjot Singh Sidhu Shares Wife’s Remarkable Fight Against Cancer
Navjot Singh Sidhu, former Punjab Congress president, has shared the uplifting news that his wife, Navjot Kaur Sidhu, a former MLA, is now clinically cancer-free. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Sidhu recounted her journey of overcoming stage 4 cancer, a battle she fought with remarkable determination despite being given a mere 3% chance of survival. Sidhu credited her disciplined lifestyle and adherence to a strict diet as crucial factors in her recovery.
The Diet That Supported Her Recovery
During the press conference, Sidhu detailed the dietary regimen Navjot Kaur followed during her treatment. Her daily routine began with a glass of lemon water, accompanied by raw turmeric and apple cider vinegar. This was followed by a dose of 10–12 neem and tulsi leaves, known for their health-boosting properties. Her diet heavily featured sour fruits and juices made from nutrient-dense sources such as pumpkin, pomegranate, carrot, amla, beetroot, and walnuts. Berries, described by Sidhu as “a strong medicine for cancer,” were a staple.
In the evenings, traditional staples like rice and roti were replaced with quinoa to ensure a nutritious yet light meal. Morning tea was prepared using a blend of spices such as cinnamon, black pepper, cloves, cardamom, and jaggery for additional health benefits. Cooking was limited to healthy oils like coconut, cold-pressed oils, or almond oil. Furthermore, hydration played a pivotal role in her regimen, with a strict emphasis on drinking water with a pH level of 7, which Sidhu described as essential.

Discipline and Resilience in the Face of Adversity
Sidhu also revealed that much of Navjot Kaur’s treatment took place at government hospitals, including the Government Rajendra Medical College in Patiala. The family managed her treatment costs within a modest budget of a few lakhs. Despite the emotional toll and the physical challenges, her resolve never wavered. Sidhu recalled how she prioritized her son’s marriage even as she faced a recurrence of cancer, determined to ensure the occasion was celebrated.
