Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi Tony and everyone, I'm considered early SLL and haven't been treated yet. I have cleaned up my diet by trading in my coffee for green and red teas, fresh veggie juices twice a day, meat and eggs raised organically,sugar only on weekends but my immune system is still depressed and I am wondering about(and resisting) a microbiotic diet. Has anybody tried going microbiotic or using the Garden of Life line of suppliments which claims to have success in putting people into remission?

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Carole, take a look at CLL_Alternative_Therapies/ .... We deal with Alternative Therapies (including macrobiotic diets) for CLL.... Since you're already a member of , you can join our list by sending a blank message to CLL_Alternative_Therapies-subscribe ..... I started this list in June of last year.... No witchcraft there, only ideas and suggestions on vitamins, supplements, lifestyle choices, etc.... I read an excellent article on " Alternative Medicine " magazine (Sept. 2004 issue) that stated that one third of cancer patients will recover fully from their disease by going on a macrobiotic diet... It would be nice to be in that 33%.... Apparently, a diet rich in fermented foods (miso), such as the macrobiotic diet, generates lots of enzymes which help the body detoxify and eliminate inflammation and for some people it will do the trick. The Kushi Institute promotes the macrobiotic diet in the U.S. (and was to receive funding to conduct a clinical study on macrobiotics and cancer).... Info at http://www.kushiinstitute.org/ .... I also bought a very good book at Whole Foods on the macrobiotic diet written by Michio Kushi All the best.... Walter V......

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Dear Carole, I am one of those that always had a healthy living, lots of vegetables, salads etc. kept very slim and fitted, body and mind, people used to say I couldn't be 40 I looked so young (at age 56). Was diagnosed with CLL after my 57th, researched diets etc. and embraced in a very strict one, which I kept for 10 months. I have always eaten meat before starting the diet, I have now stopped the strict diet, one of the problems with all vegetarian diets is that you do not absorb vitamin B12 so well. You might find reading this useful http://www.mercola.com/2004/aug/11/vegetarian_diets.htm " Do Vegetarian Diets Really Work? " - " knowing your metabolic type becomes so useful. " I now gone back to eating meat and more protein as I lost 12 pounds during the diet and I have never been able to put weight on during my life time, bough new clothes for fancy, no because my body changed at all in 35 years. What I have continued to do is the detox (coffee enemas) as it makes me feel so well, once a day, and also some juices (carrot and apples, green) which I also enjoy. Vitamin supplements are also important, I have not gone back to sugar or salt as after so long without, I find my taste buds got used to living without, but if I make something for others I will always have a piece. (I am a cook, some people said a good one) In my opinion and from all the correspondence I have had over the last 2 years with people not doing chemo, I think it depends on your type of CLL, some people will stay on W & W for a long time and others have a more aggressive type. I think some diets/life style might keep the CLL in a stable position so you are in W & W for ever, but again it all depends on the type you got. The important thing is to inform yourself on all areas and do what suits you best. Regards Chonette > 4.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2007 Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 Well folks, you can take this with a grain of salt. Oh wait, that ain't good for you either! BeccaNote: forwarded message attached. The fish are biting. Get more visitors on your site using Search Marketing. I love this DOCTOR!!!! HEALTH QUESTION & ANSWER SESSION Q: I've heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life; is this true?A: Your heart is only good for so many beats, and that's it... don't wastethem on exercise. Everything wears out eventually. Speeding up your heartwill not make you live longer; that's like saying you can extend the lifeof your car by driving it faster. Want to live longer? Take a nap. Q: Should I cut down on meat and eat more fruits and vegetables? A: You must grasp logistical efficiencies. What does a cow eat? Hay and corn. And what are these? Vegetables. So a steak is nothing more than anefficient mechanism of delivering vegetables to your system. Need grain?Eat chicken. Beef is also a good source of field grass (green leafyvegetable). And a pork chop can give you 100% of your recommended dailyallowance of vegetable products. Q: Should I reduce my alcohol intake? A: No, not at all. Wine is made from fruit. is distilled wine,that means they take the water out of the fruity bit so you get even moreof the goodness that way. Beer is also made out of grain. Bottoms up!Q: How can I calculate my body/fat ratio? A: Well, if you have a body and you have fat, your ratio is one to one. Ifyou have two bodies, your ratio is two to one, etc. Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exerciseprogram? A: Can't think of a single one, sorry. My philosophy is: No Pain...Good! Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you? A: YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!! ... Foods are fried these days in vegetableoil. In fact, they're permeated in it. How could getting more vegetables bebad for you? Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around themiddle? A: Definitely not! When you exercise a muscle, it gets bigger. You shouldonly be doing sit-ups if you want a bigger stomach. Q: Is chocolate bad for me? A: Are you crazy? HELLO Cocoa beans! Another vegetable!!! It's the bestfeel-good food around! Q: Is swimming good for your figure? A: If swimming is good for your figure, explain whales to me. Q: Is getting in-shape important for my lifestyle? A: Hey! 'Round' is a shape! Well, I hope this has cleared up any misconceptions you may have had aboutfood and diets. And remember: "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arrivingsafely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid insideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - bodythoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What aRide" _____ _______________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Everyone wants to improve their health. You should always keep in mind that whatever actions you do today can either help to prevent, delay or minimize the effect of heart disease or worsen it. The key is to control the risk factors. You cannot control every risk factor for heart disease such as family history, but you can definitely do something about your behavior. Age and gender also influence your risk of heart disease. Whatever your education, jobs and profession you should understand your lifestyle. More about Healthy Living: http://truehealth.profitbiz.info/ Have a nice day.
