Guest guest Posted May 23, 2005 Report Share Posted May 23, 2005 My Cancer Nutrition I am often asked about the nutrition that saved my life from colo-rectal squamous cell carcinoma. This is a summary of the nutrition I used and recommend for anyone battling cancer: I used Essiac Tea. It is available at most health food stores. For more info please visit www.essiac-info.org. Authentic Essiac tea only has 4 ingredients so read the label. They are: burdock root, sheep sorrel, slippery elm bark and turkey rhubarb root. Essiac tea comes in dry form that you can make yourself. It is less expensive that way. You will need a stockpot, a metal strainer, a wooden spoon and glass jars for storing. When I got too sick to make it myself, I used the pre made tea. The story behind Essiac tea and it's success rate for curing cancer in terminal patients is amazing! I switched to a macrobiotic diet and lifestyle. The world's foremost authority on macrobiotics is Michio Kushi. I recommend his books " The Macrobiotic Way " and " The Cancer Prevention Diet " , as well as " Making the Transition to a Macrobiotic Diet " by Carolyn Heidenry, to get started on a macrobiotic diet. These books are available at most health food stores, bookstores and libraries. I needed extra protein in my diet, so I added some tuna packed in oil, some salmon and an egg or two on occasion. I avoid eating animal proteins, for the most part though. I eat a lot of vegetable proteins instead. I got an inexpensive juicer and juiced absolutely everything. At least once a day, I have an alkaline cocktail: juice ¼ head of cabbage with 3 carrots. Drink your juice immediately. Don't make it ahead of time and store it for later use. There are a lot of good books, with recipes, on juicing for specific health issues. The purpose of the alkaline cocktail is to increase the body's alkalinity. The more acidic your body, the more unhealthy you are and prone to develop serious life threatening degenerative and autoimmune diseases. No disease, not even cancer, can survive in a totally alkaline environment. Another thing I do to increase alkalinity is to mix ½ teaspoon of baking soda into 6 or 8 oz. of natural spring water and drink that every morning. To increase alkalinity, avoid eating foods that cause acidic conditions in the body. The biggest culprits are red meats, dairy products, sugar, coffee, colas and acidic fruits, such as citrus and tomatoes. You can test your body's ph level by using litmus paper dipped into a small amount of saliva. Other than juice, I recommend drinking only natural spring water and as much as you possibly can everyday. Buyer beware though; not all bottled spring water is what the label says it is. I saw a 20/20 program recently that informed me that a lot of bottled water comes from my area, right out of the Detroit River! Ugh!!! Also avoid aluminum toxicity. Don't use aluminum foil to cover food or grills. Don't use aluminum cooking or eating utensils. Don't eat or drink anything out of aluminum cans. I get my tuna in the pouches these days. But a lot of pouches are lined with aluminum, so be careful. Check the labels on all personal hygiene and cosmetic products, including make up. Most deodorants contain aluminum. Most hydrocortisone creams contain aluminum. My radiation burns caused me to suffer from relentless itching. I used the Meijer store brand of hydrocortisone cream because it is the only one I can find that doesn't contain aluminum. Avoid mercury contamination too. Don't eat fish from inland rivers and lakes that may contain high levels of mercury. If you have mercury fillings in your teeth, get rid of them immediately!!! I also used the very best metabolic nutrition supplements available. They are inexpensive. These products were developed by the man who created the first ever dietary shake and has gone on to create more than 250 nutritional products. He has been a leader in the nutrition industry for more than 30 years. He is a former world champion body builder, who studied nutrition because his younger brother suffered from polio. He won the first Mr. All Natural World body building championship, but turned down offers to play professional football to pursue his dream of " ridding the world of unnecessary suffering. " These products follow all of the guidelines set by the FDA for nutritional supplements. The FDA neither approves nor disproves nutritional supplements but waits until someone has suffered serious adverse effects from a product before they remove it from the market. None of these products has ever been removed from the market, nor have there been any complaints to the FDA or the Better Business Bureau about them. Having said that, I will now tell you about the metabolic nutrition that is credited with saving my life from a cancer I was not supposed to have survived, as well as from a very aggressive cancer treatment that commonly kills people, in itself. Metabolic nutrition is cellular level nutrition and cancer is a cellular level disease. VITAL GREEN is a very powerful antioxidant product that dramatically increases the body's alkalinity. It also strengthens the immune system so that the mega doses of chemo I got couldn't even kill mine! I was told not to go around anyone who was sick because the chemo would kill my immune system and I would die from a secondary infection (this is after they told me I would die from the cancer anyway!) My kids were sick all winter long. We made a trip per week for 5 weeks to the pediatrician's office in a large Detroit hospital. I didn't wear a surgical mask and I never got sick with anything other than chemo, radiation and morphine. I didn't even lose all of my hair! When I got chemo, I had to go into the hospital for a week each time, for 120 hours of continuous infusion of 5FU (5 straight days of non stop chemo!) Then I got mitomycin (I'm not sure the dosage) in a syringe the size of my forearm that took more than 15 minutes to inject into my heplock! I got 25 consecutive radiation treatments, only getting a break on Saturdays and Sundays. Then my doctor made me stop for a week before she would give me my last 3 treatments. My morphine was liquid Roxanol. I started at 20mg/20ml and increased to 40mg/20ml every 4 hours for 3 months. To get me from dose to dose of the Roxanol, I used the Duragesic patch, which I changed every 3 days for 3 months. I started at 25 mcg and increased by 25mcg a week up to 150mcg! So you can see, I was pretty sick! REJUVACEL is the next product I used. It regenerates new healthy cell growth. When the cancer cells were killed new healthy cells grew at the cancer site. BIOMEGA provided almost all of the nutrition I got after I became too sick to eat. It contains over 120 nutritive factors; vitamins, trace minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, electrolytes and specialized herbs in a cold pressed aloe vera base (aloe vera has more than 2000 healing properties by itself!) It is a liquid so it is easily and quickly assimilated into the blood stream. It is also very gentle on a perpetually sick stomach! BODY FX shakes provided the rest of the nutrition I got with the Biomega. It is called the world's most perfect food. It has the body's exact ratio of biousable (vegetable, not animal) protein to complex carbohydrates to essential fatty acids. It has a perfect ph level of 7. It is a sustained release formula that provides perfect nutrition over a 6 hour period. It comes in chocolate, vanilla and berry flavors and is absolutely delicious. You can mix it with water and enough ice in a blender to make it as thick as a milkshake. You can freeze it into Popsicles for a snack. I also used it to regain my weight after my treatment, instead of the very expensive Ensure recommended by my doctors. RENEU and it's powdered version, FIBER 1ST are colon detoxification products that are credited with preventing my cancer from advancing further up into my colon, into my inguinal lymph nodes and who knows where from there. Instead, it just road blocked in the rectum and grew into a 3cm by 5cm inoperable tumor! The environment in my colon was not conducive to cancer being able to thrive and survive in there. My cancer, in fact, started moving in the opposite direction, to the outside of my body! We carry between 7 and 25 pounds of putrefied fecal residue, which is caked to the walls of our colons and can be there for up to 20 years before it is finally passed out of our bodies. I got this info from a report in the Journal of the American Medical Association. This provides the perfect breeding ground for parasites, bad bacteria and candida albicans. Reneu not only detoxifies the colon of all this crap (no pun intended), but also provides probiotic (good) bacteria and detoxifies the entire body at the cellular level. My doctors wanted me to use a fiber supplement before I started my treatment. I took them the Fiber 1st and told them I would use it rather than the OTC products they recommended. They were absolutely amazed at the results. BIONIC TONIC (don't laugh!) is a potassium and magnesium rich liquid that accelerated the repair of the tissue damaged by the cancer. 2AEP is a naturally occurring nutrient, which until now could not be replaced with a supplement. It provides nutrition and supports the optimum health of the cell lining through which information is passed from cell to cell. I also used 2AEP to reverse the severe depression and anxiety disorders that I got after the cancer and were secondary to the cancer. LIPOMAX10 is a liver detoxification product. Our livers perform more than 500 chemical functions and filter all the toxins from everything we eat, drink and breathe from being circulated throughout our bodies. The liver becomes congested with these toxins to the point where they start spilling out of the liver into other organs. The pancreas is the closest organ to the liver. First Fitness is the official sponsor of the American Diabetes Association Tour de Cure for the second year, this year. They recognize the products as an effective treatment for diabetes because hundreds of people have completely reversed their diabetes and have gotten off of oral and IM insulin that they have taken for years. You can find out more about these products, and order them if you wish, on my personal website: www.firstfitness.com/thin4life. I discovered metabolic nutrition 12 years ago after I had spent 12 years trying everything under the sun to lose an extra 70 pounds of weight. I started working out at age 13 due to scoliosis. I was an aerobics instructor for several years, but just couldn't burn fat. I lost the 70 pounds with the metabolic nutrition very effortlessly and have kept it off for 12 years now. I had always had a weak immune system and was always sick. I noticed as I was losing the weight that I stopped getting sick! That is when I decided to start learning everything I could about this " magic " nutrition. I am not a doctor and don't claim to be able to treat or cure anyone from anything. The products also don't make any medical claims of any kind. I can, however, tell absolutely everyone I meet about how these products saved my life, the life of my infant daughter, got my autistic, AD/HD son off of Ritalin after 11 years of taking it and many other of my own personal testimonies. I can relate the personal testimonies of hundreds of other people who have had the same miraculous health benefits from using these products, including those of dozens of doctors across the country. I believe that God spare my life from the cancer so that I could go out and use the nutritional gifts He gave me to help other people save their lives too. Bob Hurt mentioned that people think organically grown foods and nutritional supplements are too expensive to implement into their diets. So let me present this question to everyone: What is your life worth? Can you place a dollar value on your life? I couldn't. I was supposed to have died 3 years ago. I lost my medical insurance and was financially devastated. But I still couldn't put a dollar value on my life. I did whatever it took to make sure my children weren't orphaned. I got help from family and friends. And, ironically, it wasn't that terribly expensive to use nutrition to battle my cancer and save my life. As soon as I can figure out how to do it, I want to post a copy of a letter from my radiation oncologist, who has a Ph.D. in traditional medicine, in which she states, in not so many words, that my nutrition saved my life. She is the one who told me I would die. She is the one who told me that people commonly die from the aggressive treatment I had. Now whenever she sees me, she tells me that she is just amazed every time she sees me because she was absolutely sure I would not be here now!!! Good health and long life to all, with God's blessings! Renee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
