What things did cancer need that you stopped doing
Just curious, what things did you stop doing? Was it diet related? I'm going more to the anti-cancer diet.

Thanks!

Lori
I just responded to the wrong question.

This is what I stopped doing that I been doing the year or two prior to the cancer diagnosis.

I had read that brown rice was very good for you so I oodles of that with cheese, drank coffee, and ate ice cream, and could not excersice due to a heal fracture/crack. had almost a entire diet based on acidic foods and cancer just loves acid and drops dead in an alkaline environment. so I quit all that and started to eat grapes the first thing in the morning.
suggest you go to cancertutor.com and read and then look at the post I just put on you other thread.
I just read your prior post and was scratching my head trying to think of what to say to help. Couldn't really come up with anything.

However, I can certainly answer you question. I did some research and found that cancer loves all sugars, so except for concord grapes, I stopped eating sugars, carbs anything that could turn into a sugar in the body.

I lowered my protein intake.

I ate raw ginger and rubbed it on my skin in the area where the cancer was.

I did deep breathing frequently cause cancer thrives in an aneorobic(low oxygen state)
. You know I did not do this and don't know how to gain access to it, but what with the staus of your cancer a hyperbaric oxygen chamber might be something you could ask your doctor about or research on the internet.

Grew and ate wheatgrass.

There's a website cancertutor that has all kinds of things that people have tried.
The site's way different then when I first went there three years ago but here is the url to section on Stage lV--http://cancertutor.com/Other02/AdvIntro.html

I would focus on eathing raw foods, just put all the veggies you can in a good blender and drink what you can and eat the rest with a spoon.

I'm going to think and see what else I remember. I am going to think very, very fast.

oodles of green tea with lemon instead of water. let the tea brew for thirty minutes, add lemon at that point, do not use any sugar. aim for six to eight cups a day.

turmeric/pepper/olive oil is a potent cancer fighter. the girls can supply recipies

The very best of hope to you.

thanks for your warm well wishes. It means a lot to me.

I just came back from a road trip with my college friend that I have known since we were at a middle school. We haven't see each other for over 8 years though we stayed in touch through email and phone calls. I flew to MN and then we had a road trip. She does not drive much, so I drove 12 hours a day for a few days. I love long distance driving, so this was a treat.

I am now in the process of applying to two vaccine trials for high risk women who are in their first remission. I was already accepted into one, and I will see whether I got into the other. If so, I will have to choose one of them - or I may decide to go on the Avastin maintenance plan: the ICON7 trial results were rather promising.

Meanwhile, I developed a very faint neuropathy on some of my finger tips a month after the last infusion after having breezed through the whole 18 weekly chemo infusion without any side effects other than low WBC and hair falling out. I learned later than it's not uncommon that the side effects will developer AFTER the treatment is over. Oy vey - I am not out of the woods as I thought. I did not take any supplements for neuropathy during the treatment since I did not have any, but yesterday, I ordered some L Glgutamine from INternet.

Congratulations on your success! Just wanted to let you know that I used 300mg of alpha lipoid acid twice/day with food to resolve the neuropathy & ringing in the ears.

Keep dancing with Ned!
