Guest guest Posted November 21, 2009 Report Share Posted November 21, 2009 Tom W Please immediately pick up every book you can find from Neal Barnard MD and start reading.I can personally profess that his Breaking the Food Seduction book got me from vegetarian to vegan. It is very powerful and he has stats and life stories. He sets out menus, grocery lists, foods you should limit and eliminate lists. He tells you brands and makes it easy for you to work this into your everyday life. he does not hit you over the head with exercise requirements and advocates starting out by just going for a walk daily.He is a vegan and goes around the country proselytizing about it. His Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) is working single handed to get animals out of college medical testing labs and computer models in. Hopefully your family is supportive and will help you to live longer. This will also help all of them as well.good luck.Neal D.

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Dear Tom, My husband has prostate cancer. Now, he has an almost no fat vegan lifestyle. Switched from a junk food SAD diet overnight and has stayed healthy for the last 3 years. His father has lived with prostate cancer for the last 15 years with no treatment other than initial surgery. The doctors are telling him he needs chemo to stay alive and have been telling him this for the last fifteen years. Still no chemo and still alive. You have absolutely NOT received a death sentence. I would also suggest reading some books like Diet for a New America by Tom Robbins and The China Study by T. Caldwell Esseltyn, M.D. I think these books will give you the background and the good medical science to stick with a healthy almost no fat vegan diet. Also, I heard from Dr. Michael Klaper the other night whom I questioned personally about prostate cancer that Dr. Dean Ornish, the M.D. who took on heart disease has now taken on prostate cancer and doing some good research there. You might also check out Joel Fuhrman, M.D. He is so open to helping people cure cancer and heart disease and lots of other medical issues with a high nutrient vegan diet that he would probably talk to you personally. He's located in Massachusetts I believe, but has a wonderful website: www.drfuhrman.com. I've also heard that there is a doctor in Arizona who is doing fabulous work with a high nutrient vegan diet for cancer, too, (huge amounts of fresh juices several times a day) but I don't know his name. I'll try to find it. Stay close, Tom. Let us support you. Right now you and your health are absolutely the most important issues.
