Subject: Re: [ ] Cancer

Once someone has contracted cancer, the best thing to do is find the top

specialists that medical science has to offer and follow orders. There are

no proven diet cures for cancer (or else the world would be cancer free). s Hopkins,

Mayo Clinic are two top notch examples, but others can be found with a bit of web research.

The following suggestions are not cures; but have (according to studies)

" prevention " effects : broccoli sprouts, cruciferous vegtables, the

combination of broccoli (and probably other cruciferous veggies) eaten

together with tomato sauce, minimal animal fat, sufficient vitamin D,

cranberries, pomegranates to name a few possible preventatives among the many being studed

by researchers.

Subject: [ ] looking for suggestions

I am a new member to this group and have just begun to practice CR. I

have witnessed many improve their own health through CR diet-which is

why I have begun this process. However, convincing me is not the

problem. I am posting for the first time because I have a friend who

was recently diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma. Her disease is in its

early stages and I believe that diet may be the best option for her.

I have seen the medical studies that show even moderate calorie

restriction can have a major impact on cancer growth. But she is

scared and not sure what to do or what is the best option for treating

cancer.

Can any of you recommend sources, resources, people, websites, books,

etc. for her to consider. I am not asking for medical advice or for

anyone to go out a limb. Just suggestions. Thank you!
