ALKALINE diet - trendy or good for us. & Immune treatment working?
Since diagnosis Ive been researching for CURES, diets, helpful hints, other people's experiences and feel a bit confused. One particular trend I keep hearing about and now reading about is the alkaline diet and the acidic. According to many sites and books and from people cancer cannot live in an alkaline body and thrives in an acidic body. Ive been reading a book called "body Ecology Diet" by Donna Gates about rejuvenating your health and rebuilding your immunity. I have been told many times of many years I have a huge overgrowth of candida in my body and know that to be true by symptoms that come and go often. This diet rids your body of candida and builds your immunity supposedly. Anyway Ive been doing the alkaline drink of apple cider vinegar, honey and citric acid regularly and doing the 80/20 rule they talk about eating the right foods 80 percent of the time and eating 80% veggies and 20% meat, fish and chicken. I just checked my PH urine level and it was almost perfect at 6.75 (7.0 is perfect). Hubbie hasn't followed the diet and his PH is highly acidic - with makes sense as he is also arthritic.
I've heard of people buying alkaline water, and taking supplements for alkalising their body, but I have just opted for the free parts of the diet by drinking the vinegar mix each morning and eating only lemons, limes, blackcurrant, cranberries, pomegranate & Nono raw, juiced or frozen. Eating mostly green vegetables and not eating processed meats. After a couple of months we can go back onto normal diet but this is supposed to help build our immunity and cleanse our systems and free up candida (in my case).
Q1. Im wondering if anyone else has heard of or is using this diet or just the alkaline drink?
Anyway this diet is also supposed to build your immunity and we know now that it is our immune system that is the new leading research into fighting cancer. Jarred Roughhead has been treated for melanoma the second time it returned and this treatment was basically making his immune system recognise that the cancer cells weren't friendly as they appear in our bodies, then having our own immune system fight the cancer cells. It makes sense to me that it would be better to make our own body fight the cancer if at all possible.

Q2. Has anyone else had or know personally know of anyone who has had this new treatment?
