Your story was touching. I was diagnosed CLL 9 years ago next month. It is hard

to see and hear about others going thru " the struggle. " I pray for all of us.

I picked up a People magazine last Friday and it had the stories of both Farran

Fawcett and , who's cancers have now spread much more

extensively. As most people know, Farrah is dying. I will be watching the

documentary of her treatment this Friday at 9pm PST.

No matter which path we choose, cancer is a heart-breaking illness. My heart

goes out to these cancer survivors. Farrah tried alternative treatments in

Germany, which caused abdominal bleeding and other complications.

None of us know what the end result of our efforts will be in this battle

against this deadly and very serious illness. Back in 1994 when I was fighting

what I thought was a hopeless battle, I thought to myself, " What if none of this

works? I would be wasting my time, maybe my last moments on earth. " But then the

other voice told me, " But what if you don't at least TRY? "

Here's to all the courageous cancer survivors on this website and around the

world who are trying to beat this terrible illness. I wish all of us well. But

there are no guarantees. When I read a story like Farrah's or 's, it

scares me because I can't deny that cancer KILLS people. It is now estimated

that 40% of the American population will get some form of cancer in their

lifetime.

By the way, everyone, I am doing great. I feel wonderful. I hike 12-15 miles a

week and work out at the gym. I am 100% back!!!

I am starting an intensive 90 day cleanse of all my body's organs. I am allowing

for some seafood at my sister's beach cottage in North Carolina next month,

however. Here's to Jim wanting to enjoy his life with a bit of animal protein!!!

I am going to enjoy the heck out of my seafood. I haven't eaten fish in a long

time. This may be the only time for quite a while, but I am looking forward to

it. It will be fresh right out of the sea. And no, I'm not going to worry about

the bit of mercury in one night's pleasure.

I'm more concerned with finding the truth regarding the China Study than trying

to promote eating animal protein for pleasure.

I'm also concerned with finding what is healthiest for me and others.

I think we have been shaped by millions of years of evolution to require some

animal protein, but not a lot -- certainly not bacon and eggs for breakfast, a

hamburger for lunch, and steak and potatoes for dinner.

Most of our animal food today comes from extremely sick animals fed extremely

sick genetically engineered plant food and injected with poisons on a daily

basis. I don't know for sure, but it has been estimated that our omega 3 to

omega 6 intake 100 years ago was 1 to 1, including the fats obtained from

healthy animal protein. Now the ratio is about 20-1 (omega 6 to omega 3) for

the average American. The excessive omega 6's clog up cell respiration and screw

up cell metabolism, leading to anerobic respiration of cells leading to cancer.

We may be wise to strive for a 1:1 balance of omega 6 to omega 3. Note that

Budwig DOES NOT achieve this balance (on its own), but, rather, supplies too

much omega 3. But this is just speculation on my part (Mike Golden thinks there

is a scientifically based dynamic tension between 3's and 6's best obtained by a

1-1 balance, and historical data seems to indicate that this was the natural

balance until recently).

There is also some historical evidence that most of humanity used to live within

50 miles (or so) of the sea, and therefore we may NEED healthy seafood,

sunshine, and iodine to remain healthy.

I am assuming that if people COULD do well with no animal protein, that many

civilizations would have sprung up not consuming any animal protein. Animal

protein is a pain in the ass to get, compared to raising crops (and/or foraging

for vegetable food). Animal protein was the original fast food, often very

fast.

Instead we see this constant push for people to get some animal protein.

Hunter-gatherer societies are the norm for pre-agricultural societies, and the

" hunter " is half the equation, despite the dangers of hunting verus gathering

food that doesn't bite back.

And in agricultural societies, people seem to have always kept animals along

with their crops, even though the animals are, again, a pain in the butt to

keep.

If we were meant to be pure vegetarian, wouldn't our digestive systems have

evolved over millions of years to handle a pure vegetarian diet better?

Instead, our digestive systems are omnivorous, handling anything from meat to

wheat.

In fact, it is only the hunters that develop superior brain functions, and for

humans to have developed their oversized craniums means that they HAD TO BE

predators, for at least part of their diets. Otherwise we'd be stupid, because

you don't need many brains to find fields of grass and chew it.

Now, a diet for someone who is ill is often different than a diet for someone

who is healthy. I am not sure what diet is best for a cancer patient, but some

things seem to emerge from trial and error. Sugar is a killer, obviously. Too

much animal protein seems very bad too, for several reasons. And a lot of green

organic vegetable food seems to help a lot.

I'm not sure about Kelley's " metabolic types " . I do know that I crave animal

protein a lot. Does this mean it is good for me? Well, I also crave greasy

pepperoni pizza and ice cream and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and gallons of Diet

Coke and even still get strong cravings for smoking a really good cigar.

Obviously none of those things are good for me. So cravings are not necessarily

an indicator of what the body needs!

, well put. Didn't Farrah do chemo and rads before doing the

alternatives? Sad thing is if she dies, they will say the alterantives

didnt' work and that is why she died.

Do you know what the tv show is that she will be on Friday night?

What we do not know is what Farrah Fawcett actually entertained as Alternative

treatment or whether or not she did what she was supposed to.

I know someone that went to Germany to seek 'tumor shrinkage' using something

she could not get here and then, if successful, would have surgery to remove the

smaller tumor back in the U.S.

Perhaps Farrah would have been better off right here in the U.S. but all of this

is conjecture and we just do not know. Just today I learned of two people I

know of, one developing Eye Cancer and the other with advanced Pancreatic and

Liver cancer.

It is evident to me that the choice to go Alternative is often less physical

abuse than the conventional and even when unsuccessful often results in longer

life with less misery along the way. Just another reason I seek Alternative

help and why I work with someone that knows what works and what doesn't. This

is something like being one's own attorney in a court case..............not too

smart going it alone while trying to get through the hype and 'magic' some

offer.

I watched the O'Reilly Factor last night and was so mad I could have spit!

O'Reilly did a piece on Farrah and he had a really green surgical oncologist

woman on as his guest. First, he hit it right when he began his interview by

stating that he lost his own father to melanoma at age 62 but that it was the

radiation that killed him, not the cancer. He then asked the doctor if the war

on cancer was progressing and of course she said yes and went on to talk about

" all the wonderful things " that are being done and marvelous success rates,

etc...and of course I wanted to just vomit. That woman was so stupid in her

answers, even my husband said so. O'Reilly wrapped up his interview by asking

what people could do to prevent cancer and she said they should have gene

screening done! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????? Not a single work about diet,

processed foods, alkalizing the body, exercise, vitamin D, nothing! I listened

to her and got more and more

frustrated and by the time it was over I realized that she had basically given

me a death sentence with all of her nonsense. Yet here I sit, almost 2 years

after being diagnosed with a recurrence of Hodgkin's Lymphoma and being told I

would die by an oncologist unless I followed the conventional protocol of more

chemo and a stem cell transplant, well on my way to being cancer free as

evidenced by an ultrasound this morning!

How did you do it? My husband has a recurrence of Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. We

tried to get it using every imaginable alternative treatment and it just kept

growing. Thanks, Karyn
