body balance

[Guest guest]

Hi

 

I am what the doctors call a 'terminal case' having skin cancer that

is not in my liver and a lung. In December 2003 I was given between

6 months and a year to live - of which 50% would be quality time and

50% would be heavily impaired by my condition.

 

I visited the Bristol Cancer Care Clinic and began to change my diet

and lifestyle in February.

 

Against the odds, I have responded to chemotherapy - my cancers

having been reduced by nearly 50% in size since March. But I

chemotherapy alone will not bring me into remission (No Evidence of

Disease) as my body dan only take it for a further 9 weeks.

 

I believe that diet - and particularly eating raw fruits and

vegetables - organically grown - has helped me beat the odds so

far. I also believe that a sense of wellbeing generated by trying to

do good and help others - has also helped me. If you are in doubt -

an addition of New Scientist earlier this year explored the curative

powers of aspirin - and hey-presto suggested that the modern and

processed diets lacked a number of trace vital vitamins - some of

which happen to be within aspirin (which is made from the bark of

willow). Plus the article said that organically grown foods contain

up to 6 times the level of these vitamins as compared to normally

processed fruit and veg.

 

Yesterday I met some friends for a meal and they brought a friend

from Singapore visiting the UK. In our conversation I mentioned

dietary constraints and health. He then began to explain taichi and

ying and yang and the phylosophy of yoga to me. He also defined a

calling - relating to core values.

 

I would be very interested in hearing more of this - and joining

groups (Surrey UK) who are into using meditation and such techniques

to regain balance within the body to facilitate healing.
