Hi a,

I just saw Dr. Weil speak last night at the Pasadena Civic Center. Awesome!

He talked about the items you mentioned-no red meat, no diary, no sugar and

exercise. Also recommended Vitamin D3 better than coral calcium. Take omega 3

(fish oil capsules with IP6). He was very informative. I was surprized he

mentioned soy products for breast cancer patients. I have heard many

controversies regarding this and he also stated starting soy milk on your young

daughters (age 8). It really is a good protectant against getting breast

cancer. Once you have it (like us) doesn't help.

Barbara, what kind of chemo are you receiving? I did AC and Taxol.

Had a hard time with AC. my friend who was going through it too had

an easy time. She was really overwieght and I am skinny so I don't

know, maybe this had something to do with it!!?? My advice is to

eat very well ,that means organic foods, see a naturopathic doctor

for real health advice, the chemo doctors and nurses know absolutley

nothing about actual health, they will tell you to eat whatever.

This advice should not be followed. Stay away from processed foods,

sugar, salt, any animal products, dairy ets... Food is your biggest

medicinal arsenal right now. Make sure you try to excersize if you

can just walk, that's great. Drink buckets of water every day.

Take the most expensive and best immune supplements possible, take

saunas 3 days after the chemo if you are to recieve injections to

quicker detox the crap from you body. the 2nd or 3rd day after

chemo you can start detoxing the crap from your cells. This is when

you start to feel the effects. Then it gets worse, like the 4th 5th

6th and 7th days are harsh. Usually the 3, 4 5 are the worst, and

they make other days seem easy, but it is all perspective. The work

the chemo does in killing the fast reproducing cells is done in the

first 24-48 hours, after that your body is dying inside, literally,

so it's important to get that crap OUT of your system ASAP. That is

why we feel so bad.

Chemo is poison. You oncologist knows this they just don't want to

scare you. Look up the Gerson Therapy and other related non toxic

cancer fighting therapies. It's all at your finger tips. If you

want to take a personal interest in your own life, especially at

stage 3 it's time to get serious, do the research. These therapies

have saved terminal cancer patients. Terminal. they work.

Integrating is a good idea if you have already gone for the chemo.

It (chemo)sits in your tissues and bones for a long time after you

finish and the effects can last years, if you live, so it's

important to know what you're dealing with and be prepared. The

optimum health institute in San diego is a great place also read

anything by Dr. Weil. Thinking positively is good but it won't save

your life and either will prayer, I have seen too many people die in

lieu of these things. I am a firm believer in personal action. You

have to be an active participant in your own cause, do not leave it

up the the doctors or God. Chemo speeds up the death process for a

lot of people. Be educated so you know when you need to make the

right decisions about your own life. You will be empowered and have

control where you feel there is no control. You can do it but you

have to want to. Good luck and big hugs!! K
