nutrition

[Guest guest]

<<...good nutrition is not a cure...>>

With a personal history of fasting, and having enjoyed the many benefits

of fasts both short and relatively long (2 weeks) my interest in this

early stage cancer I have has been whether fasting shrinks cancer tumors

as it does other kinds of tumors, and whether fasting dispels cancer

cells in general as it does other types of unhealthy cells. The

nutritional aspect of my interest pertains more to the building up of

the immune system. My general state of anxiety as a newly diagnosed

person has probably caused me to misrepresent myself here as being on

the lunatic fringe.

I've found that quack website in my searches. Generally, the sources I

consult are so credible that they have their own built-in quackwatch.

And of course I have my own as well. Most genuine seekers of truth are

born skeptics.

There are many whose innocence and trusting nature lead them into harm's

way, though, and for them such as Quackwatch is a noble service.

Unless, of course, Quackwatch's own zeal might close their eyes to the

light. It's been known to happen.

In the case of something like cancer, the prevailing opinion is to seek

the conventional approach. My interest has been to try and determine if

there are any successful unconventional approaches, particularly having

to do with fasting. I'm pretty good at reading between the lines, but

the fact is that there is little online about alternative cancer

treatment, and nothing I've found so far about fasting.

So, since there is a time factor to worry about, I'm going for the

surgery, and I'm especially pumped since I think I have a sympathetic

new surgeon. But for the chemo experience I will definitely seek out

any nutritional support I can find from amongst the many credible

sources out there. From personal experience, I heartily advise any and

all to do the same.
