I don't know anything specific re: SCLC other than what I listed in my

previous post, but the following are the foods that I think are optimal for

MOST cancer patients (other than parasympathetic-dominant patients--those

w/leukemia, myeloma, lymphoma, & melanoma), though every person's different.

(The best foods are CAPITALIZED):

VEGETABLES (FRESH, RAW OR LIGHTLY-STEAMED, ORGANIC, locally-

grown)--ASPARAGUS, broccoli, escarole, endives, romaine & leaf

lettuce, watercress, chard, collards, & other LEAFY GREENS;

CARROT, BEET, red cabbage, tempeh, onion/scallion/leek, chives,

garlic (except leukemia patients); SPROUTED BROCCOLI, GARLIC,

ONION, & wheat berries

mushrooms--only MAITAKE, SHIITAKE, reishi, kombucha,

AGACARIUS BLAZEI, & CORIOLUS VERSICOLOR

fruits--red/purple GRAPES, PAPAYA (preferably unripe), KIWI,

peach, red raspberries, blueberries, & apple; citrus fruit (PINK

GRAPEFRUIT, nectarine/orange, lemon & lime) only in moderation

grains--SPROUTED & low-glycemic grains (rye, oats, bran)

beverages: FRESH-PRESSED GREEN VEGETABLE, carrot, apple,

orange, & organic pineapple juice (fresh-squeezed from

masticating juicer; no bottled juice); herbal teas (organic

green, Essiac, peppermint, Pau d'Arco, chaga); purified water

spices: turmeric, ginger, garlic, onion, chives, licorice

misc: " GREEN foods " (wheatgrass, barleygrass); FLAX SEED OIL

mixed w/NONFAT COTTAGE CHEESE or yogurt. If you eat meat, I think

salmon (from the ocean) is the best meat product to eat.

> I fixed brown rice, cauliflower....

I think cauliflower's excellent too.

> how much melatonin?

I've seen 10-40mg/day recommended. Take it only at night (never early in the

day).

> What about the Geranium? Would I go to a nature path?

Yes, or a holistic physician. Let me know if you'd like names of naturopaths

or holistic physicians in a particular geographic area who specifically treat

cancer patients.
