beat her cancer with good nutrition and I'm sure it is a riveting story. Thanks

for telling us about it. You might get a good buy on eBay or eCampus, second

tell us how to follow this diet and the benefits you have gained from following

it.

Hi Lottie,

Boy do you have a way of getting people to post!

This is not the book I was referring to. Remarkable Recovery by Hirshberg and

Barasch may be out of print? but there is a site where you can get out of print

books. It talks about the cancer personality....people who are more prone to

getting cancer (high stress hormones). It is described as: A remarkable study

of why people recover from terminal illness - against the odds, and against

medical convention. It is very well researched, and there is a follow-up book by

Barasch called The Healing Journey.

The blood type diet, which I have followed for over 12 years, so a bit before my

cml dx, is based on the FACT that the blood types evolved over time and that

your blood type determines the bio-chemistry of your body. It is also a fact

that a higher % of blood type A people have leukemia! I fit in this category.

I was curious about this concept and had actually read something about it about

10 or so years before I decided to give it a try. Within about 3 weeks of

starting the diet I could see benefits for me, and my family saw them as

well.....so much so, that a sister who is blood type B (and had long standing

hypoglycemia) decided to give it a try, without mentioning it to me, about 6 mo

later and she also had noticeble benefits in about 2-3 weeks and has stayed on

this eating regimen. There are hundreds of thousands of people around the world

who are eating according to blood type. Dr. D'Adamo is a naturopath.....they

spend 4 years in medical school studing the bio-chemistry of the body and how

all systems relate and interact. You can usually get a copy of the book (Eat

Right 4 Your Type) at the library.

Anyone who wants to explore alternative options to add to their Western medicine

treatment should explore books written by naturopaths.
