Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I am sorry for telling you this in a way. This is metabolic typing. Most on our list are not into food like this. I chose to really investigate in the foods affecting my body to gain strength and fight the cancers. So I became a clinician to be able to administer many tests myself to me, my husband, and our children. It developed into a practice over the years slowly because I still homeschool our 4 teens. That is a priority to me. Our list favors Budwig and other protocols that also are a blessing for some. For me, I chose to make food a science and metabolic typing is a science.....if you want to learn more about it buy the book " The Metabolic Typing Diet " by Wolcott. He is a wonderful man and a mentor of mine. Through metabolic typing, I was trained as a clinician to interpret the testing which is kind of expensive which is why so many do not want to do it. I personally would not live without it. It balances the parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous system. If your nervous system is not functioning right, then you suffer and can perish. You can manipulate this with foods and supplements. I also do food allergy testing. Inflammation is the name of the game here and if you find out what you are allergic to, then you help your digestive system rest, heal and absorb nutrients much better. Metabolic typing paired with another homeostatic control mechanism which is called functional diagnostic nutrition. This way helps you balance your hormones with bio-identical hormones. When we fight cancer, our adrenal glands get so depleted because the body is fighting all the time. FDN helps you replenish those hormones so you can have more fight! Very important when you deal with a serious condition. Buy the book and you will learn wonderful things in it. There is a little test in there that will help you figure out what type you are leaning to. It may help you so much.

So I don't know which to take magnesium or calcium. " Johanne Wayne " <thewfamily@...> wrote: Well, for me since I am a sympathetic dominant type, I take lots of magnesium and potassium. I take Ionic Fizz Magnesium because it gets right in my bloodstream and I take double dose. Then I make sure I take 300 mg potassium divided in the day to calm and uncramp my body. It may not be the same for a Parasympathetic type because magnesium acidifies their system. They tend to need lots of calcium. My husband and four children are Parasympathetics and that was tested in our home.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Johanna, Thank you for your information. I will certainly buy the book. I have Follicular Lymphoma. There is no cure. My pet scan results were clear of cancer, however I still have at least 3 treatments to make sure it does not come back. Of course, it will if I don't eat & drink the diet that's right for me.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 a, I don't say this much but in my experience, you NEED to do the chemo. Our daughter had lymphoma and we were able to avoid the chemo (I believe God healed her) but in 15 years of practice, I never have seen a person with your condition do well without chemo. It is one of the few cancers that respond well to it. You will need to baby your digestive system. Chemo destroys it. So to learn nutrition is the first thing and to learn to restore your digestion to absorb your nutrients will be just as important. Email me with questions. I know you will get excited.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 I noted in Bill 's book that the Budwig diet will not really work while doing Chemo. I am trying to eat only fresh veggies, and a few fruits. Some say eat only lemons, green apples (Granny) and not so sweet strawberries. I have eaten grapes, and green apples, and cantalope. Cantalope is a sweet fruit. So I am really confused. I also eat sweet potatoes. I do not eat white potatoes. I also eat tomatoes in my salads. And mushrooms. I have made and am drinking Kombucha tea. I drink only a small amount daily. I am using supplements from Longevity. A man read an article I wrote in a trucker magazine and emailed me and sent me all kinds of vitamins and minerals. Including what's called oxytoddy which has Aloe and H202. It is suppose to help with oxygenating my cells. I am hoping I am eating and drinking all of the right things. I don't have a juicer, as at this time, I can't afford one. If you know of a good one that isn't very expensive, please let me know. I know I need to juice. Is V8 juice okay? That is all my late brother in law could drink since he was a diabetic. He died of complications. He didn't take care of himself at all. I plan on fasting tonight and tomorrow since I will be getting Chemo tomorrow. When I got my pet scan the last time, I was working on staying alkaline. Could that have anything to do with it being negative for cancer? Or do you think the chemo did it all? I have only had 3 treatments. I am taking COQ-10 capsules to help protect my heart from one type of chemo they are giving me. It can damage the heart. I read that those capsules will protect my heart during that type of chemo. I also drink Green Tea. I use Stevia for sweetner. Can I drink Coffee? I read that I should only drink Decaf. I can do that. I drink tons of water with lemon in it. I also use baking soda & water to help keep me alkaline. I don't know if what I am doing is right. But hopefully when I find out what I need nutrionally, I can do good at keeping my cancer at bay. Thanks for writing back. a " Johanne Wayne " <thewfamily@...>wrote: > a, > I don't say this much but in my experience, you NEED to do the chemo.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 a, just buy one at a garage sale....actually, if you visit estate sales, Champion juicers are often there at just a few dollars. But really, a cheap juicer will be fine until you can afford a better one. That is how we did it. V8 is NOT ok for many reasons. Tomatoes is the only food that thickens your blood consistently. Long story but if you google lectins, you will learn a little. V8 is also veggies that have been sprayed with pesticides. The latter attracts parasites and also disrupts your hormones and is so toxic on your body. You have to baby your lymph. Being alkaline is the way to go. The only thing is that sometimes, if you are Parasympathetic, extra protein will make you alkaline (I know, I did not believe it until I tested my clients) and veggies sometimes makes you alkaline. Again, you know, just rent the book The Metabolic Typing Book at the library and learn. It won't cost you a penny to do that. As far as your heart, it may get damaged but take Co-Q 10 and see what your body does with it. I have many clients that have 20-30 % of their heart hurt, in fact that is why they stop chemo. It also hurts your lungs....Do the best you can.... Coffee will acidify you so much and Decaf is processed with formaldehyde. So, if you want to be embalmed before your time, it is your choice. (I love coffee being French but formaldehyde, no) By yourself some pH paper at the pharmacy. You will need to start testing your pH two hours after you eat with your urine and saliva. But, let me warn you......that is not the only thing....it is lifestyle that will help you....Just do little changes at a time and you will see a difference over time. Hang in there a. I will pray for you. Johanne From: brainpause533 Sent: Monday, January 12, 2009 3:19 PM Subject: [ ] Re: Johanne, how to test type?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Johanne, Prior to my diagnosis, I was a Dr. Pepper-holic, and ate all the wrong foods. I have come a long way with my diet. I eat only fresh veggies, and fruits. I ate catfish the other night. Hope that was okay. I have the strips. But have only checked my urine in the morning just after I get up. So by checking my pH after meals, I can see if protein will make me alkaline or not. How long after a meal do I wait to check it? I will check out the book as soon as I can. It is after 5 pm here and the library is closed. And my treatment tomorrow will last until 7:30 pm or later. So I will have to get the book on Wed. Thanks for your info. I will drink no more coffee. I sure am going to miss it.. lol. I can do without it though. You are so knowlegible about cancer. I really appreciate your help. a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hello Johanne, I agree with the nervous system imbalances and also believe this is critical for bringing up the immune system with diet etc. I have also seen a significant autonomic nervous system imbalance trend with watching your CBC blood tests trend (not short term). A high percentage of Neutrophils/Granulocytes >70% with an associated lower than normal Lymphocyte percentage <30% will equate with a sympathetic dominant physiology typically seen with most solid tumor cancers. When a person has the reverse which is <60% Neutrophils/Granulocytes and >40% Lymphocytes will equate with some lymphomas and leukemias as a parasympathetic chronic trend. Johanne, have you ever watched the CBC this way or seen the sympathetic trend with solid cancer tumors vs. parasympathetic dominance with blood or lymph cancers?

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Dear a, I don't ever want to think or say I am knowledgeable about cancer. I probably can say that I am knowledgeable about the lifestyle to deal with cancer. It is such a monster that changes faces that I can never say I know so much......That is when my guard will be down and that means danger! Let me know what you learn in this book. We can dialogue. I know there are others that at least will be interested in reading our dialogue even if they are not in diet at all. It is always good to know.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hello Johanne, Well, the autonomic nervous system runs everything in your body including your immune system. When your nervous system is chronically in sympathetic dominance (stress mode fight or flight) over time it increases your granulocytes (Neutrophils - bacteria killers) which over produce. However, without any significant bacterial infection to deal with these cells begin to cause tissue damage and inflammation in the body. This oxidative stress in the digestive system as well as other places in the body begins to produce inflammation. Most inflammatory conditions even with the nervous system such as MS are due to this chronic systemic imbalance and over production of granulocytes in the tissues and blood stimulated by the autonomic nervous system being out of balance. Regarding cancers, the other effect of the sympathetic imbalance is that the lymphocytes (cancer and virus fighters) are suppressed when the body is in sympathetic dominance. Over time the immune system gets weakened to the point where the number of lymphocytes is not enough and the body is too stressed and depleted to keep opportunistic infections away and cancer can begin to grow or spread. To verify this, simply get a copy of you past blood CBC tests and look at the numbers of the lymphocytes and neutrophils. If you have enough tests, you could even make a graph to see how the percentage and absolute counts have changed relative to the natural therapies you have done. This can be a way to tell if you are making progress with what you are doing. I recommend looking at the test at least once a month if not sooner charting how it is changing. If you see your numbers as indicated below are not in a healthy cancer fighting range, you need to work more on your nervous system to bring it more parasympathetic (for solid tumor cancers). If everyone on this list would post their CBC Lymphocyte and Neutrophil numbers, you would see the validity of this evaluation method. The doctors will tell you all your values are within normal range, but that large range is simply where all the other unhealthy and pre-cancerous patients tests fall into. Statistics are that one in three will develop cancer in their lifetime (and in 10 years they say one in two " 50% " ). Why would I want to be in the same broad range as 30% - 50% of the people that get cancer? I don't. I believe one major factor as you have mentioned is the balance of the nervous system for fighting cancer. Everyone with a low percentage of lymphocytes (<30%) and low absolute lymphocyte count (<1800) should be following your diet and supplements to reduce sympathetic dominance. There are also a variety of therapies that can also help, but daily the diet and supplements are a huge factor and easy to do. Eventually when the nervous system begins to become balanced, you will see a rise in the lymphocytes. Get them above 30% and your body can begin to fight the cancer or prevent it from coming back. When I work with a cancer patient that has had cancer in the past, I'm not satisfied with their health until I see their immune system is strong enough to keep the cancer from returning. Watching the CBC lab test is so easy and relatively inexpensive; everyone should learn to follow this test. For those with cancer, I have also started a baking soda cancer cure group that you may want to also check out to specifically discuss Dr. Simoncini's method.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hello Mike, not exactly sure what your point is... My point is if you have cancer and your trend is an increasing percentage of Granulocytes and a decreasing number and percentage of Lymphocytes it simply means your immune system's ability to fight cancer is going down and the cancer will overtake you eventually if you don't turn it around and keep it in the healthy range. I have seen many die from cancer with a normal level of Granulocytes and a normal total WBC count (Lymphocytes will never be in the normal range, usually very low). You will not die from cancer nor get cancer with a steady history of a normal level near 1900 along with a normal ratio of Lymphocytes to Granulocytes near 35%/60% this is not a theory but a consistent finding. If Granulocytes have a role in fighting cancers it would be minimal based upon the above clinical facts looking at the immune system's overall function in being able to fight cancer.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hello absprofessor, And yet, it is not minimal. Granulocytes may be the power players with regard to cancer. This was not anticipated until fairly recently. Again, I'll refer you to Dr. Cui's work on cancer immunity.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hello Mike, your doctor's research may be great but irrelevant to my point. Consistent clinical results is where the rubber meets the road by helping cancer patients determine where their immune system is at watching their white blood cell counts and beating their cancer by improving it :-) Sincerely, Hope Mike wrote: > Hello absprofessor, > And yet, it is not minimal.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Hello absprofessor, The relationship between the immune system and ratios of white cell types is far more complicated than that. Sympathetic stimulation increases granulocyte counts. Parasympathetic stimulation increases lymphocyte counts. One of the complications is that this situation changes hour to hour, maybe even minute to minute. The act of undergoing phlebotomy alone and the anticipation of the exam itself is enough to contribute to a change in ratios. The reasons that a majority of people show a sympathetic dominant pattern in white cell ratios probably includes the following : 1.) They are sick, which is why blood is being taken in the first place, and therefore stressed. 2.) Medical investigations are " scarey " and painful, particularly phlebotomy. Even if the white cell ratios could be determined to acurately reflect a long term situation, the direct relationship to cancer is ambiguous. That's why I pointed out that granulocytes are important in cancer suppression. Ironically they are the cellular element that is increased when " stressed out " . The situation is much more complex than can be realized by looking at ratios. Cancer cells can be viewed as a microcosmic demonstration of natural selection. They are neither good nor bad, they are just successful or unsuccessful. If the cell is not successful it is rapidly killed by the immune system. If the cell is successful it survives long enough to undergo mitosis and pass on it's successful traits to both daughter cells. These traits include various biochemical " tricks " to hide from and literally incativate the immune system. Substances such as nagalase are dumped into the general circulation to inhibit activation of immune response. " Normal " white cell ratios are not helpful under these conditions. Further, white cells eventually experience a type of fatigue which eventually causes them to be ineffective. Certain drugs (cimetadine) and natural substance (glucans, etc.) can revive them to a certain extent. Again, the ratio is not effected, just the robustness. The point of all this is that establishing " normal " leukocyte ratios does not serve as a yardstick to measure cancer recovery. Having said this, I will agree that it is generally prudent to maintain a sympathetic/parasympathetic balance in any sort of illness. This is relevant to inflammatory responses, cortisol levels, etc (as per the work of Hans Selye).
