Man beats cancer with healthy living

 

 

By Joan Mulcaster

 

 

BOWEL cancer patient David Soulsby shocked doctors at the world-famous

Royal Marsden Hospital when he refused chemotherapy.

 

After an operation at Epsom Hospital to remove a tumour, he was referred

to the Marsden for treatment.

 

But he had his own plan of action to keep cancer cells at bay - by kicking

chemicals out of his diet and his home.

 

Doctors at the Royal Marsden were surprised by this reaction from one of

their cancer patients.

 

Rather than nodding " you know best " when a consultant oncologist told him

the routine for chemotherapy, the Kingswood businessman refused the cocktails of

strong chemicals.

 

He said: " I questioned the results of the autopsy on my tumour in detail

and was told that although I did not fall into the risk category requiring chemo

it was good practice to have it.

 

" I declined.

 

" Although chemotherapy kills off cancer cells it also kills off healthy

cells.

 

" I outlined my nutritional system of no dairy products, organic food,

reduce meat intake, cut out wheat, confectionery - which is loaded with sugar

and very difficult for the body to deal with - eliminate or reduce coffee and

tea and step up fresh organic fruit and vegetables.

 

" And water, lots of it, at least two litres a day.

 

" Also, a strong intake of absorbable minerals, vitamins, detox and immune

booster substances and also apricot kernels which are full of vitamin B17 and

laetril - a £23 bag lasts for three months.

 

" I have got rid of all toxic bathroom and kitchen personal hygiene and

cleaning products and replaced them with non-toxic products.

 

" The consultant said this was rubbish and asked me to reconsider, but I

refused. That was March 2001 and so far my scans are all clear. "

 

David's wholesome diet could not be criticised by any doctor.

 

But, used as a weapon against a killer disease (and, unless identified

early, bowel cancer claims the second highest number of cancer victims), they

view it as a huge gamble.

 

However, the rebel patient stuck to his guns.

 

David had delved into all the information available about cancer since his

diagnosis in January 2001.

 

And even before going under the knife the first thing he decided had to go

was his city lifestyle of stress and snatched, mainly junk, food.

 

David now has a stress-free office at his home in The Chase, Kingswood,

where he also practises Pilates exercises each day.

 

He said: " One in three people get cancer in the UK while many parts of the

world are virtually untouched by it.

 

" Could it be toxic overload, our lifestyle, diet, or products we use every

day?

 

" What about food we eat and pesticides used in growing it?

 

" The standard approach to its treatment tackles the problem via surgery

and/or chemotherapy and radiation and then lets you get on with life the best

you can.

 

" I was very happy with my treatment, but figured out how not to get it

again, and so far I have not. "

 

Two years ago David's operation at Epsom Hospital by colorectal surgeon

Paul Toomey also made news.

 

The latest news, that he resisted conventional follow-up treatment, is not

intended to give false hopes to other patients.

 

It could be heavily challenged by doctors and, if David had been a

juvenile whose parents declined the recommended conventional chemotherapy

treatment, they would have had the power to take out a court order enforcing it.

 

Says David: " Conventional treatment is all doctors know - they should be

looking into diet more closely. "

 

Doctors specialising in heart disease now take diet and lifestyle so

seriously that advice about food and exercise are a standard element of cardiac

care in all hospitals.

 

But Mr Toomey said that the importance of this in helping those with heart

disease had lots of evidence to support it while, as yet, there was insufficient

evidence to pursue dietary changes for cancer patients.

 

And while he agreed David's diet was healthy, he was guarded about whether

or not it was keeping him in remission.

 

He added: " However, I am very pleased that David is doing so well. "

 

Both The Royal Marsden and also the research charity Beating Bowel Cancer

were asked for their observations but neither have responded.

 

--- I wonder why?

We need to keep in mind that establishment medicine attacks the results of

disease.

David's program attends to the causes.

When we attend to the causes, we're preventing disease. Treating without

preventing is like chasing but never catching.

So much depends on the health choices we make.
