Guest guest Posted October 1, 2000 Report Share Posted October 1, 2000 Maciek, I don't have first hand experience with macrobiotic diet. But for cancer, you should be avoiding any meat products and sugar. If she is done with chemo, she should supplement with mixed antioxidants. " Mixed " should include vitamin A, carotenoids, vitamin C, bioflavonoids such as grape seed, pycnogenal, quercitin, tree bark etc, coenzyme Q10, vitamin E (d-alpha) with selenium etc. However, if your aunt has lung cancer, she should avoid beta carotene, for lymphocytic type leukemia, avoid vitamin C. Have you hard of Dr. Schilze? He has herbal products that you need to use with healthy lifestyle change. His " Incurable program " consists different things. But he says 100% vegan and raw food. This will include at least 8 to 16 oz carrot, apple and parsley juice daily, at least 3 cloves of raw garlic daily. If person is really ill, he likes to put them on fresh organic juice fast for 4 weeks. Did they say why they didn't think cancer patient try macrobiotic diet other than it doesn't work? In my opinion, any healthy diet without meat or sugar should help anyone who is suffering from any type of diseases. To the healthy diet, you want to add supplements according to your problem. -- Yumi Guidotti yumig@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2000 Report Share Posted October 1, 2000 > It is strange for me macrobiotic diet allows no fresh fruit and raw food. > Only cooked. Why? They do. Macrobiotic diet is based on yin and yang, and whole grain with vegetable and sea vegetable, occasional fish and fruits. Maybe the recipe that you saw was all cooked. So, they may cook the food if you have cool body that needs to be warm. -- Yumi Guidotti yumig@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why?Maciek, Go to http://www.sensiblehealth.com and e-mail Chang for a free consultation. I think she could handle all your questions. She is a biochemist who prescribes Chinese herbs and is knowledgable as to reasons why certain, specific, health concerns respond better to cooked foods than raw.

Guest guest Posted October 1, 2000 Report Share Posted October 1, 2000 Hi Mike, No I don't have any new info. Because the studies on antioxidants and chemo & radiation are still not conclusive. And when I give advise as a lay person, I tend to be on conservative side. I know you've talked to doctor, and you do your own researches. Did I mentioned to you about vitamin E and selenium? Selenium seems to protect against effects of radiation and chemo. But you have to mix with vitamin E. You can take 400-800 iu of vitamin E per day, adding 15 micrograms selenium per 200 IU. Do not go over 800 IU per day as this may actually increases risk of cancer. I would like to advise to take antioxidants before the therapy, and between. But there are people saying that by taking antioxidants during treatment, they cope with it better. -- Yumi Guidotti yumig@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 2, 2000 Report Share Posted October 2, 2000 Hello - Strongly suggest getting a copy of " The Alernative Medicine Drefinitive Guide to Cancer " by Burton Goldberg. An extremely good listing of successful alternative approaches to cancer treatment. About 1000 pages. It will be an eye opener for you. About $50 at www.realityzone.com. Also " Third Opinion " by Fink. A listing of alterantive care clinics throughout the USA and some parts of Europe. Also has a good review of the Mexican hospitals and clinics, which (person opinion) are the best at using the full range of alternative treatments. Expensive, but good.

I would like to advise to > take antioxidants before the therapy, and between. But there are people > saying that by taking antioxidants during treatment, they cope with it > better. Understand.... Radiation treatment is FIVE DAYS PER WEEK FOR FIVE WEEKS. CHEMO IS AN IV WHICH IS DELIVERED OVER A TWO HOUR PERIOD ON THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS.......... AND IS GIVEN EVERY FOUR WEEKS. IN MY CASE THEY HAVE DECIDED I WILL RECEIVE A TOTAL OF 6 CHEMO TREATMENTS OVER THE NEXT SIX MONTHS. So when you're not gettin Chemo.... you're gettin Rad....bla/bla/bla. I think you either DO continue with antioxidants/suppliments or you just don't use them for the duration of the treatments!!!!! What do you think?
