Hi, I'm new to leaving messages.
You asked what I was doing to gain weight and if I had been ill...I had esophageal cancer. I have had chemo and radiation. I wore a 24/7 chemo pump for 6 months plus heavy duty chemo for 6 months every 3 weeks. In between all that I went to Hippocrates Health Institute in Florida for 3 weeks. During that time, the first tumor, which was 6 inches, went away. However, I could not follow the diet, work full time, exercize, grow wheatgrass and sprouts...I got depressed and stressed. The tumor came back. Hence, more chemo, then radiation. During all this I tried to stick to a fairly raw diet. I lost a lot of weight and have not gained it back. I drink Pau D'arco tea, 5-6 glasses a day. Since December, 2010 the tumor has not returned. I feel that it will stay away. I just need to get my weight back.
I eat mostly raw all day and for dinner I usually have fish or grass fed beef with veggies or sweet potato. I know Dr. Mercola recommends little to no carbs but i seem to function better with a few carbs. I eat a few pieces of fruit each day. I take a ton of supplements. I also take Frakincense oil. I eat 1-2 tablespoons of Hemp seed every moring. I make and drink almond milk every day. I eat a raw salad w/veggies/avocado everyday for lunch at work. I eat almonds and pecans. Although I do cheat sometimes I try to eat a lot of raw. I also make veggie juice every day and bring it to work and drink it three time during the day. I don't know how effective it is because I know the container gets air in it and I have heard that if it gets air it loses some of the nutritional value.
Anyway, that is about it. The other day my oncologist said my liver was a 'little sad'. I told her that I take chlorella, milk thistle and other cleansing supplements. Also, I do a coffee enema every day when I get home from work. I think I was detoxing to fast. I also had a root canal which almost did me in. I'm still considering having the tooth pulled.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Ginny Napier
