Another key component in my cancer fight was drinking copious amounts of herbal teas. Specifically the ones with high anti-oxidant and immune boosting properties. Most days I would have a hot cup in the morning, iced herbal tea with meals, and a hot cup before bed. I highly recommend you get these super healthy teas into your body, pronto!
Since my last post was on alkalizing, and thanks to a facebook thread with Deanna and Kathy,
I figured I’d continue with that theme and write about one of my favorite products on planet earth,
which was also a staple in my anti-cancer diet: Apple Cider Vinegar.
We all know the arguments that being vegetarian is better for your health, the environment, and animals – – but in a carnivorous culture it can be hard to make the change. Graham Hill has a powerful pragmatic suggestion.
Be a weekday vegetarian.
This 4 minute video is excellent and neatly summarizes my post-cancer diet. Watch it!
I am not a doctor or a scientist. I am a self-educated chemo-free cancer survivor and I often have people contact me who want to know more. In this post I explain in the simplest terms what I have come to understand and believe to be true about chemotherapy and why I did not do it.
We’ve all heard that most people need 6-8 hours of sleep per night, but you may need much more, like 9-10. Not getting enough sleep night after night leads to a “sleep deficit” that keeps growing. And with that sleep deficit comes a gradual degradation of your health. A major key to health is figuring out how much sleep you need, then getting it.
In January of 2004, one month after my surgery, my wife Micah and I went to the cancer clinic for the first time.
It didn’t go so well.
I had already decided against chemotherapy after researching successful alternative therapies.
To my dismay, my decision was not well received by my wife, family and friends. After many heartfelt and well-meaning “interventions”, I reluctantly agreed to go meet with an oncologist to hear what he had to say.
If you’re eating the standard modern diet full of processed food and artificial ingredients; you’re putting toxins in your body faster than it can eliminate them. These unnatural chemical compounds are accumulating in all the tissues of your body, and have been for most of your life. Over time these toxins accumulate inside you until there is a tipping point at which your body is so overloaded that essential systems and functions begin to break down. This is why periodic deliberate detoxing is critical.
The Centers for Disease Control and the National Cancer Institute recommend you eat at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies per day, but 10 servings per day is optimal. Let’s face it, that’s tough to do! Most folks I know don’t even average 1 serving per day.
Our bodies are starving for nutrients and juicing is the best way to extract massive amounts of nutrients from vegetables; without having to sit down and eat several pounds of vegetables per day. Knowing what to juice and what not to juice is critical.
These cancer-fighting spices have powerful health benefits and were part of my daily regimen to heal cancer without chemo.
This recipe was given to me as part of my Anti-Cancer Diet by my Naturopath and I drank it nearly everyday, usually as an afternoon snack. Surgeon Generals Warning: Highly Addictive Deliciousness.
