Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Cyndi, where can I read more about this? currently I'm working as a claims adjuster -- one of the most stressful jobs there is! -- and working on my anger issues with a therapist. The last thing I want or need is cancer, so I'd like to learn more. thanks, Kate RealSimple , cyndikrall wrote: > > > It's funny you mention this, Cee.

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Kate, you are smart to think about this now, before you get cancer! Pay particular attention to the mention of Johanna Budwig. If I had it to do all over again, I would go on the diet she invented, rather than conventional cancer treatment methods. It never hurts to research alternative treatments, before you are put in the situation of having to make a decision on what kind of treatment you want. And there's NO harm in using this kind of diet, even if you choose conventional treatment. I follow a lot of JB's diet, even though I went thru chemo. I didn't find her diet in time to choose it over chemo, but I don't regret it, because i was kind of in bad shape at the time, lol. http://www.alternative-cancer-care.com/The_Cancer_Personality.html Naturally, the best time to think about cancer is BEFORE you get it. Big stressful emotional events also lead to cancer. I believe mine started when my mother died in July 2005. That's why it is SO important to learn to manage anger and stress well. There are tools out there, like EFT (emotional freedom technique) that are designed to help. I've never processed stress and anger well, so I have to learn, too. I've been teaching myself meditation, which i am finding helps a lot. As my strength returns, I want to start yoga, because I've heard so many good things from people who use it to relieve stress and anger. Anyone know of any other ways?Cyndi Cyndi In a message dated 3/6/2007 10:40:11 P.M.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 Kate, I only pointed out the Budwig Protocol to keep in mind in case you do happen to get cancer one day. What I meant to say was that it was good to research alternative cures before someone gets cancer, so they are prepared to make an informed decision. I can tell you from personal experience, the shock and the fear will make it hard to decide what to do, once you are in that situation. And the doctors won't tell you anything except chemo, radiation and surgery. I do think there is value in incorporating the Budwig concepts into a regular diet, to help keep your immune system healthy and strong. The more stress you are under, the harder it is to fight off infection and disease. The cottage cheese (or quark) and flaxseed oil combination has a couple of benefits. The main one is, that the flaxseed oil has superior oxygen properties, and the CC has sulfur properties that allow these two foods to bind together and get delivered to cells. Cells in the body-including cancer cells-will accept this as food. It will build up the immune system, and at the same time, the cancer cells will divide into normal cells, and the cancer will die off naturally. It's a good diet, with a 90% success rate over 50 years. The foods are good, natural, and healthy. You can eat it for life if you want. It doesn't emphasize eating grains as part of the diet. It doesn't rely on a lot of supplements, which to me is another form of drugs. It doesn't require hundreds of thousands of dollars spent at an expensive clinic. Everyone can do it, regardless if they have cancer or are just concerned about protecting their immune system. So, even if you don't want to follow the diet completely, you CAN incorporate the cc/fo into your day to help boost your immune system. Eating organic foods, eliminating chemicals from your life, and eating the cc/fo will go a long way to help keep you healthy. There are literally tons of alternative therapies out there. And I would never tell anyone not to pursue conventional methods. I just advocate doing the research and making an informed decision. I want everyone to learn from my mistakes, lol. I just wanted to clarify this a little more, from my original email. I sure wish you the best of luck in taming your stress! I agree that the Budwig Protocol is great to incorporate into anyone's daily routine, to help boost their immune system. :-)Cyndi In a message dated 3/10/2007 11:06:36 A.M.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Speaking of stress -- my mind is less than reliable these days. I have totally forgotten to look for the meat grinder. <hangs head in shame> My back is killing me today -- and even stomping around Dinosaur Day out at Sierra College didn't help much. As soon as I think I can bend over without snapping in two, I'll look. I promise! Kate RealSimple , cyndikrall wrote: I sure > wish you the best of luck in taming your stress!

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 HAHA! No problem, I understand completely. I don't ever get half of what I need done. This week I am stressing about getting my taxes done for my business. Thankfully Kail heads out to Europe for a couple days, so I get a slight reprieve, lol. I didn't know about Dinosaur Day! I bet that was fun. I absolutely adore dinosaur bones, lol. Cyndi In a message dated 3/11/2007 9:58:29 P.M.
