Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Hi Everyone, Sending my many thanks to everyone that has responded to my post and I appreciate the feedback you shared as well. If you had requested a copy of the " Food List " , please be patient as I organized my files/folder on my desktop and sent alot of these files/folders to my external hard drive freeing-up memory. (The purchase of the external hard drive was the best money I ever spent on my computer. A BIG 298 GB of space.) Now I need to locate the folder, once I have located what I am insearch of, I will send the info you had requested. I will also respond to everyone's post and the eMails that were sent directly to my eMail account. Thank you and enjoy your week-end with your family and friends.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 These lists for acid/alkaline can be confusing. Just read in one book by an M.D. that tomatoes, lemons, limes and grapefruits are " acidic, " so they are off her list for an alkalizing. Yet, Dr. O. Young lists these very same fruits as the ONLY fruits allowed on his diet and are the MOST alkalizing. These are the only fruits I have eaten for two months, having just added the grapefruit (one a day) this week.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Lemon, limes, etc., are actually acidic. It is converted into alkaline by leeching on your calcium and magnesium already within the body. This is my understanding from my readings of different websites.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 But O. Young and Cousens promote lemons, limes, tomatoes as alkalizing. See how confusing it is? I have been eating ONLY lemons, limes, tomatoes as fruits for the last two months since my diagnosis of October 20th. I just added grapefruit this week. I usually eat one a day, but today I was busy and grabbed a second one. Yum! I have to have some fruit and I will stay with this protocol. I am adding raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, goji berries, cherries and cranberries (fresh, unsweetened) for the Phase 1.5 Protocol for Cousens diet. I think we have to follow something or someone to believe in. I'm going to continue my protocol with the new additions of Fish Oil and 100% Hormone Free Whey protein. So I am no longer 100% raw vegan, but titles never mattered to me anyway. I'm just trying to save my life. Cousens is dead set against dairy and animal products. I heard a story once that a guy decided to not do chemo. He decided to travel the world and eat anything he wanted---french fries, milkshakes, you name it. He gave himself anything he wanted. As the story goes, he had a spontaneous remission of his cancer. I wouldn't do it, but I have to admit that when I ordered the whey protein on Tueday after my bad-news appointment, I ordered a half order of chocolate whey and the other order of vanilla. When I hestitated about the chocolate, the owner's wife, Natasha said, " Oh, this is good, high-quality chocolate. It is not the cheap stuff. " I compromised by buying half and half. She said they are delicious. I'll be honest. I haven't eaten anything delicious in two months. I have been drinking wheatgrass juice; all green drinks since the Phase I Cousens plan didn't allow carrots; nuts and seeds; dehydrated crackers; raw tomatoes and lettuce with raw olive oil and lime juice; raw spagetti with walnut nut balls and marinara sauce (which if you put enough garlic in it it's not bad). But I get to have some CHOCOLATE now? I'm going for it. And I am sure it's acidic, right? But you don't have to eat ALL alkalizing foods. 80% alkalizing and 20% acidic is what I have heard.
