Re: Diet for Friend...more on that

[Guest guest]

,

My husband has been diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer. He's had 2

resected tumors and now on chemo. The suggested reading you've seen

here is good...we have those books. Our Oncologist is very

progressive and, along with taking an aggressive and positive stance

on the chemo, he's endorsed organic foodstuffs for my husband plus

juicing...he gave that a 'big' thumbs up. On www.mercola.com you can

find references to the best juicers (we have the Omega).

So we are both on this diet now. My husband goes off of it

occasionally tho'...he's an old fashioned swede and has trouble

being as strict as I am. Plus he's having the usual trouble eating,

fatigue and stomach trouble during chemo.

I spoke with a couple from California recently about this too. The

fellow had Stage IV colon cancer also at age 35...he had everything

resected (several colon tumors) and including liver tumors...went on

and off chemo for a year and then on an all organic diet...low

animal fat and with aggressive juicing. He also did all he could to

thoroughly detox his system. His wife is a Natural practitioner and

he was an ex-Marine (and determined to beat this). He is still

around now 9 years later.

Hello ,

We agree that the surgery and chemo have a definite place in all

this as well as the diet. My husband is 57 years old (yes, a swede)

and it seems hard for him to change or to commit to and totally

believe in the dietary/detox/probiotic regime.

He's agreed to go to a Naturopath after chemo but right now I'm

afraid the chemo is currently turned up so high I'm wondering how

he'll make it through. We'll have to give the doc feedback on that.

Plus he's having tremendous problems with digestion and appetite.

He's only actually doing this halfway (he eats lunch at work, eats

out occasionally and still on the ice cream, etc.)...so I don't know

how this will go. I think it must be much easier for a younger

person to make these kinds of large changes in lifestyle. The

organics weren't a hard change to make...they are expensive but the

sacrifice was not much in our eyes.

The guy from California was a serious case....the tumors had eaten

through his colon and he had only 65% of his liver left after

resection. His recovery was quite a story...

So glad to hear your husband is responding so well. I have heard

some local accounts of persons with various forms of cancer

responding well to this who are under the care of a Naturopath.

Take care,

Chris
