Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I have been dealing with Squameous Cell Cancer in the base of my tongue for 2.5 years now using only alternative treatments.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Matthew there is an phenomenal outfit actually a restaurant too called Cafe Gratitude here in Northern California not sure where you live? Amazing Organic raw vegan food that makes ones mouth water, no lie especially the desserts. They have a book called "I'm Grateful" that has many easy, practical recipes that are delightful to the palate. Again, where you live helps too, here in California the market is being flooded with the raw way and many restaurants are popping up which gives so many idea's of what to eat, you certainly need to retrain the mindset of torching ones food and it takes plenty of discipline for sure. It has been quite a journey for me and other's will tell you the same. Food is a very emotional thing for humans and many memories, comforts, ideas, and learned behavior's about it are set from childhood. Good for you for exploring it. Also, it isn't just good for you it is good for the planet which we all need to take care of too, not just ourselves. I propose just getting on the internet, it is what I did, there is a wealth of information, books, websites to learn from. Ann Wigmore, Gabriel Cousen's M.D., Matt Monarch, David Wolfe are all names of raw foodist that have brought incredible insight to eating raw. Good Luck!

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hello Matt your welcome, sorry about your throat. Love your sense of humor...bless you for your will, you are a brave soul for sure! Yes, Ventura, Oxnard is gorgeous Oaji os near there where there are the best farmer's market's. too bad you aren't there anymore, easy to be raw there many fantastic groceries stores as well that have raw cuisine. The best grain to stick with health wise is Quinoa, it is considered more of a seed than a grain, grains are really not that great for us cancer people unfortunately, very little carbs is best.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Hey Tammatha, I thought that buckwheat is also a seed, not really a wheat, and has no gloutens? Don't say it ain't so, please!!!! I have never had Quinoa, I'll check it out. I'm not so sure I was all that brave. They wanted to do 6 weeks of radiation, basically like putting a blowtorch in my throat, pull all my teeth, destroy my salavary glands, compromise my jaw bone, put a food tube in my gut for they said 6 weeks but it would have been far longer, plus chemo and possibly surgery afterwards and they gave me a 40% chance of survival. It just didn't sound like the path of life for me, it looked more like an expressway to the grave truthfully. Everytime I went to the cancer hospital there was such a feeling of dread and hopelessness. The nurse even showed me an out of the way chappel where I could go cry over my early demise when I felt down. Thanks but no thanks. I would rather put my faith in God and do some research for promising protocols. Plus I have a 15 year old son who is not quite ready to loose his dad. Of course family and friends thought I was crazy. But I have outlived the sats so now they complement me on how wise my decision was. And they have seen how others have faired with conventional treatment. I absolutely believe I made the right choice. Now if only I could find some way to make healthy oatmeal raisen cookies... I'de be right as rain! (There is no spoon?) Matthew group , " Tammatha " <tammatha wrote: > > Hello Matt your welcome, sorry about your throat.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Matthew: Your getting the advice I got six years ago. I would not consider eating any of this even if I didn't have cancer. Mine shut down totally last year and I had to get a feeding tube but it has opened up a little and I am eating almost all of my food now. I just found out that I can have without guilt buckwheat waffles and pancakes. I use organic juices with peaches or pin apple and a little organic maple syrup for flavoring. Who ever your expert is isn't up to speed in my books. All of these are going to dump sugar into your blood in about 3 seconds and the sugar is going to be directed to the tumor. Sugar molecules a very small and begin to be absorb immediately. Your blood system has about 3 grams of sugar circulating and the tumor can get by just fine and grow on that small amount. I sure wouldn't give it any extra. --- On Thu, 4/9/09, matthewalanmoore <poppers5 wrote: matthewalanmoore <poppers5 Re: Raw Dietoleander soup Date: Thursday, April 9, 2009, 3:03 PM oleander soup, "Tammatha" <tammatha@.. .> wrote:>I live in Richmond VA, about as far from California as you can get, although I lived in Calif. for a year in 1975-76, in Oxnard, Ventura County.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hi Matthew. One of the easiest ways to get raw food in, I have found, is smoothies. Not the regular type we normally think of when a person says smoothie--all fruit with some milk or yogurt. No--these are real foods. So fast to make and so healthy, in the right combos. Some places, especially the hygenic groups of people, still say that fruit should be eaten first in the morning, without anything else. But now they have found that the body actually uses the nutrition from fruits and veggies if they are taken together! Which makes these green smoothies the perfect food. You need a really good blender. The VitaMix is one, though Dr. Wu and some others say that only a 3 horse power like the Blend Tek blender can actually break up the cell walls in food to make every bit of nutrition available to the body--more so than a blender like the VitaMix that is powerful, but not powerful enough to actually break up cell walls. Is this true? I don't know. I just know that I wound up buying a Blend Tek because of believing in Dr. Wu's message. Anyway--green smoothies. They are so easy and so good. I throw any mix of veggies in the blender, and then a banana and any other fruit I happen to have on hand. A bit of water to get it started blending into a liquid and there you have it--a tasty drink that has all the nutrition in a balanced way. You need to put greens in the mix--any type of leafy green. I have done chard, lettuce, kale, etc. Then I put in any veggies I have (I have not put in garlic because I don't want garlic in my fruit tasting smoothie :-) usually one of each, like a carrot, a green pepper, a beet, a stick of celery. Now, if you just drank this, it would be a bit hard for most people. Too veggie tasting. But the key to flavor is the banana and other fruit. I put in a banana, and an apple, orange, mango, avocado, whatever I happen to have. This makes the greens very tasty, slightly sweet, totally delectable. I have not had one that tasted bad, except for one that I put too many beets in. I had 2 small beets and one medium and as they were getting soft I threw all 3 in. Way too strong a taste and I wound up throwing out most of the drink. I also add my supplements like C, B's, etc Right into the blender so that instead of popping a bunch of pills I can just drink them. Because of the glutathione precursors (that I talked about in a previous post) I throw my selenium into the blender, and when everything is blended, I shut the blender off and throw in my undenatured vanilla whey. Duncan says the whey doesn't like to be blended hard--does something to the chemicals in it, so it is only suppose to be mixed in. I put the whey in, flip the blender on for just a very few seconds, and then the drink is done. This whey actually gives a nice vanilla flavor to the drink, too--just a touch. This makes a big batch, enough for 2 large glasses. Sometimes my husband has a glass and when he doesn't I put it into a jar and put it in the fridge for lunch or a snack. The blender is so easy to rinse out. The veggies and fruit hardly need to be chopped, so it is quick to make. It stores well in the fridge or a thermos for later. You can add just about anything to this drink and because of the mix of flavors, it's all palatable. At least for me and anyone I've given one of my smoothies to. :-) And now there are literally dozens of raw "cook" books out there, and ebooks on line. Just a few years ago there was barely a handful of them available. Now you can go into almost any bookstore and they will carry some. There are dozens of web sites devoted to raw foods. There may even be a local raw food club if you live in a large town. There is one in the next town over from us. Good luck, hope this helped.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Matthew, If I were you I'd also explore the idea of taking an escharotic such as BCGG or Vitae Elixxir. Both are sanguinaria (Bloodroot) based products that are very active against cancer. In you case you might be able to coat the tumor with the product for a time before swallowing. This would be a very powerful way of directly treating the tumor. Contact Ralph Schauss, Organic Resources in Casper Wyoming. 307-266-5710. Explain your problem to him and see if he is able to help. A very nice man and a very powerful therapy, similar to Cansema. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hi Matthew, Actually Buckwheat is a fruit and your right it is gluten-free. But like I said wouldn't do much of the grains and maple sugar stuff. Like I had mentioned previously to I think it was Helen, can't remember...a Vita-Mix is your best friend you can make really yummy smoothies there are tons of books for recipes. I say go with Quinoa because it doesn't have all the fungus than most grains have and it is very high in protein, and mixes well with just about everything it is much like Couscous but a healthy version. Wow, I can't believe what they wanted to put you through, mainstream doctors are torturers really. Can't always fight fire with fire. I'm with you on the path you have taken and I too believe you have gone the right way. I felt the same way when I refused chemo and drugs. Just can't embrace poisoning oneself, and forget about the oatmeal raisin cookies...lol. Tammatha - matthewalanmoore oleander soup Thursday, April 09, 2009 3:18 PM Re: Raw Diet Hey Tammatha,I thought that buckwheat is also a seed, not really a wheat, and has no gloutens? Don't say it ain't so, please!!!! I have never had Quinoa, I'll check it out.I'm not so sure I was all that brave. They wanted to do 6 weeks of radiation, basically like putting a blowtorch in my throat, pull all my teeth, destroy my salavary glands, compromise my jaw bone, put a food tube in my gut for they said 6 weeks but it would have been far longer, plus chemo and possibly surgery afterwards and they gave me a 40% chance of survival. It just didn't sound like the path of life for me, it looked more like an expressway to the grave truthfully. Everytime I went to the cancer hospital there was such a feeling of dread and hopelessness. The nurse even showed me an out of the way chappel where I could go cry over my early demise when I felt down. Thanks but no thanks. I would rather put my faith in God and do some research for promising protocols. Plus I have a 15 year old son who is not quite ready to loose his dad. Of course family and friends thought I was crazy. But I have outlived the sats so now they complement me on how wise my decision was. ! And they have seen how others have faired with conventional treatment. I absolutely believe I made the right choice. Now if only I could find some way to make healthy oatmeal raisen cookies... I'de be right as rain! (There is no spoon?)Matthewgroup , "Tammatha" <tammatha wrote:>> Hello Matt your welcome, sorry about your throat. Love your sense of humor...bless you for your will, you are a brave soul for sure! Yes, Ventura, Oxnard is gorgeous Oaji os near there where there are the best farmer's market's. too bad you aren't there anymore, easy to be raw there many fantastic groceries stores as well that have raw cuisine.> The best grain to stick with health wise is Quinoa, it is considered more of a seed than a grain, grains are really not that great for us cancer people unfortunately, very little carbs is best. I know, I know, it's hard....lol.> > Tammatha> > > > - > matthewalanmoore > oleander soup > Thursday, April 09, 2009 1:03 PM> Re: Raw Diet> > > > > > oleander soup , "Tammatha" <tammatha@> wrote:> > >I live in Richmond VA, about as far from California as you can get, although I lived in Calif. for a year in 1975-76, in Oxnard, Ventura County. Still, I'll google them and see if I can get their cookbook. There have been times when I was eating salads (and some fruits) for all meals, but that can only last so long. And to be truthful, the tumor has closed off some of my throat and swollen my tongue so it takes me a long time to chew through a salad these days. If this new protocol does not reduce the tumor I will probably try draino next! (lol) or maybe a pair of curved, long needle nose pliers....hmmmm. > > I just found out that I can have without guilt buckwheat waffels and pancakes. I use organic juices with peaches or pinapple and a little organic maple syrup for flavoring. > > I'll check on the book you recommended as well Duke, thanks!> > Thanks Tammatha and Duke> > Matthew Moore> > > Matthew there is an phenomenal outfit actually a restaurant too called Cafe Gratitude here in Northern California not sure where you live? Amazing Organic raw vegan food that makes ones mouth water, no lie especially the desserts. They have a book called "I'm Grateful" that has many easy, practical recipes that are delightful to the palate. Again, where you live helps too, here in California the market is being flooded with the raw way and many restaurants are popping up which gives so many idea's of what to eat, you certainly need to retrain the mindset of torching ones food and it takes plenty of discipline for sure. It has been quite a journey for me and other's will tell you the same. Food is a very emotional thing for humans and many memories, comforts, ideas, and learned behavior's about it are set from childhood. Good for you for exploring it. Also, it isn't just good for you it is good for the planet which we all need to take care of too, not ju! st ours! elves.> > I propose just getting on the internet, it is what I did, there is a wealth of information, books, websites to learn from. Ann Wigmore, Gabriel Cousen's M.D., Matt Monarch, David Wolfe are all names of raw foodist that have brought incredible insight to eating raw. > > > > Good Luck!> > > > Tammatha> > - > > matthewalanmoore > > oleander soup > > Thursday, April 09, 2009 12:21 PM> > Raw Diet> > > > > > > > > > > > I have been dealing with Squameous Cell Cancer in the base of my tongue for 2.5 years now using only alternative treatments. The tumor has continued to slowly grow, although I got the cancer out of my lymph nodes thank God. One of the most difficult things I have encountered is trying to do a raw diet. I have looked at list of things you can eat, but trying to find meal plans that are more than just having salad breakfast, lunch and dinner is difficult. Not to mention that too much green leafy vegs. will load you with too much vitamin K. > > So my question is does anyone have any suggestions as to how to plan your meals. Dr Malkmus of God's Way suggest an 80% raw, 20% cooked diet. When I went to the International Bio Care Hospital in Mexico they gave me a fair amount of cooked veggies. Amazing food, but they did not have a cook book for us to take home. I'm on the road often and it is really difficult to maintain the raw diet. Chewing on a carrot all day does not work well for me. > > Thanks,> > > > Matthew Moore> >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
