    I'm in Lehigh Acres.  Hi,

    I'm in Lehigh Acres, just across the Caloosahatchee! Hi, neighbor!!

    i might be wrong, but I was told by a NP who worked with cancer patients for several years, that you need to eat 5 servings of veggies a day, plus 3 servings of fruit, and about 4 ounces of protein, plus LOTS of water, avoid sugar, starches, carbs, etc.  The servings are NOT supposed to be huge servings...about fist sized.

    Hi Tillie.  Yes, I know what we have been led to believe.  Unfortunately, much of it is not supported by what the latest science actually demonstrates.  I have spent the last year trying to decipher what, exactly, should be considered the "healthiest" dietary guidelines for cancer patients.  I have based most of my research on looking at normal and abnormal cell metabolism along with the very latest lab research.  Much of it recently presented at the AACR (American Association for Cancer Research) during their annual conference and in other peer-reviewed sources.  As a result I have prepared a 65-page document explaining, in detail, both the science and rationale behind what I call a "proper" diet for cancer sufferers (or those wishing to help prevent getting cancer in the first place).  In addition, it explains what I personally have doing during my clinical trial of n=1 by following these precepts during the past year.

    In particular, I have been taking Sutent at maximum dosage (@50mg/day) and have had no significant side effects in over one year and counting.  In addition, all of my bone lesions have shown either continued shrinkage; stability; or only new bone growth.

    If you are interested I am happy to provide a copy of my document.  Just send me an email at: n.feldman@videopost.com and I will respond with it attached. But be prepared for a few shocks to what you may have been led to believe as being healthy eating.  To begin with, you might want to read this, as it summarizes many of the things that I have since come to understand the hard way:

    Contradictory advice

    Forgot to add.  Your NP's advice makes no sense.  Veggies and Fruits are carbohydrates.  So, if you are to avoid sugar and carbs you can't possibly also eat 3 servings of fruit (made up mostly of fructose and glucose plus water) a day.  And those veggies should not have starch which means no corn, potatoes, rice, etc.  The point is - you need to think through these kind of recommendations to see if they even make sense.

    I am all for veggies - if they are the green, leafy variety.  Still, there is nothing magical about them.  Grass-fed meats provide all of the essential vitamins, minerals, micronutrients, and fats (essential for digesting several of the key vitamins) in a single package.  But guess what?  By themselves, veggies can not do that by themselves.  In particular there is no vegetable that will provide vitamin B12, for example.

    Regardless, more important to consider are other highly unhealthy substances that we have been told to consume.  In this regard I am referring to all the vegetable oils that are being used for cooking, including olive oil.  These oils can be oxidized by heating them.  When oxidized, they release free radicals which can result in damage to DNA and other critical cell components.

    Finally, there really are no such things as a "heart-healthy" grains...
