" Ian, Develop a good nutritional plan BEFORE worrying about supplements, etc. The short is as follows: With cancer, 95% of food intake should be plant based. 100% is OK if you want to become or are already vegetarian, but it is not absolutely necessary.Pork absolutely must go away. All forms of pork take a minimum of 8 hours to digest and that is too hard on the system. One of the toughest things I ever did was give up good bacon and ham. Chicken has arachrondic acid in it and your body already produces too much of that in a cancerous state, so chicken is a very, very occasional thing. Fish is good. Red meat that is LEAN LEAN LEAN is OK, but limited. Fat is one issue, the other is the potential for adding too much iron into the diet and cancer loves iron. [see: " Study Links Red Meat to Some Cancers: http://www.cnn.com/US/9604/30/meat.cancer/ ] Next on the list is anything processed. It all goes away. There is too much hidden garbage in processed foods. No white flour, table sugar, etc. I personally recommend the abolition of all wheat products from the diet as the gluten requires your immune system to break it down and anything that takes away from your immune system's strength to fight cancer should be avoided. Sandwiches were the second hardest thing to give up for me. All deep fried foods are history. The hydrogenated fats are bad news. Use only olive oil or coconut oil for cooking, baking, etc... Dairy should be severely limited, if not abolished. (lactose is the culprit) Cream is better for you than milk as it has no sugar whatsoever. Cut cream 2 parts 1 to 1 part cream to use it. What you are seeking to do is load your body with complex carbohydrates (time release sugar is the way to look at them). Simple sugars feed cancer. If you question that statement, think for a moment about having a PET scan done. They put a radio-isotope in glucose (simple sugar). Once this circulates throughout your system, any, repeat any area in your body that has cancer will show up as a " hot " spot because the cancerous growth, no matter how small or large, will grab the glucose and feed upon it. When the do the scan, guess what, where the sugar went in concentration is where the isotope went and those are the tumor areas. Cancer feeds on sugar. Stay away from it. Wayne Pickering's charts on food combining are relatively easy to understand. Nothing is really hard and fast. You will not die tomorrow because you eat the wrong thing with protein, etc. You simply loose most of the nutritional value and with cancer, you cannot afford to be throwing away vital effort on the part of your body. That is pretty much it. Vary the diet continually. All plant based foods have some form of toxin in them. Your body naturally sloughs these off if it is not overwhelmed. So just don't eat the same thing day after day after day after day. Break the routine up and the world is at peace. Be sure you have a good exercise plan. You can boost your immune system response capability many, many times over with just a 10% increase in aerobic exercise. Go out to our website and cruise through the nutrition section to get some basics on how nutrition effects the body. The go to the supplements section and read through what I did for myself. I also have a posted theory on how to fight cancer in general. There are more than 200 different protocols for fighting different types of cancer. Some are better than others. That is where the time needs to be spent sorting out what you plan to do. The one thing I would most strongly urge you to consider will be found in our " supplements section " under NALTREXONE. It is the only prescription medication I personally use for anything. It is, in the form listed on our website, the cheapest, most powerful immune booster you can do for yourself; PERIOD. Nothing is more effective or safer to use. Sorting through vitamins, minerals, etc. is a little bit complicated, but not too bad to do. Do not worry about just one study such as the one stated about Vitamin A. You will only want to use things that have many, many positive studies attached to them. That particular study was very grossly flawed and has be refuted by a great number of scientific researchers throughout the world. Anything you want to use to fight cancer should have several dozen positive studies done showing potential help. There are enough substances out there (over 1000 identified as cancer fighting) that you do not have to pick off the wall, designer crap. You can pick from some very highly studied, highly effective products that offer great potential. Do not panic, there is time, but do not delay in researching and making a decision. Time is your ally but it is also your enemy. Use it wisely. I am away from my office right now and I can't remember the names of the authors, but two books that will help you with diet are BIOLOGICAL RUST and EAT TO LIVE. There are a number of other good books out there such as ALKALIZE OR DIE that are also well worth reading. Let me know if there is more I can do to help you.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 Dear , We were brought up eating fresh fruits and vegetables and I love them even today, but I have a sweet tooth. We all had one, because mother baked 12 pies every Saturday for us and company. You cook and they will come. By Sunday evening, they were all gone. My aunt across the street used to bake individual pies in muffin tins. Who could refuse that. We were like kids in the candy store. My grandfather had a country store and he had apothacary jars full of jaw breakers, circus peanuts, chewing gum and even crackers. Those he gave to the kids who came to the store. We always had lunch money and a little left over for dessert. We would walk 2 blocks to get the small Hershey bars at the corner grocery. Thanks for memories and glad you are all so healthy and slim. Once on the lips, forever on the hips. Blessings, Lottie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Dear Lottie, Thank you for the note chock full of sweet memories. I, too, have a sweet tooth which I acquired with the diagnosis of CML. I think it came about because with my diagnosis came the attitude of treating myself in ways I hadn't before. That includes chocolate and all sorts of fruity treats. I really have to watch it. NO candy bars, etc. There's a book I think you might enjoy. It's the 50th anniversary edition of " The Art of Eating " which is a large collection of small books and essays by M.F.K. Fischer who understood the connections between food and the rest of our lives. She was a marvelous writer. This large compendium is available in soft cover for less than $25 and is something you can pick up and read a chapter or two and put down then pick up again at anytime. Thanks again for the pie story! All the best, L [ ] Eating well Dear , We were brought up eating fresh fruits and vegetables and I love them even today, but I have a sweet tooth.
