Hi, great to hear what you are doing. Yes, have to agree with the less toxins the body had to deal with the better for the body to work.
The coconut oil is great - I find it beneficial to my skin & scalp. Another use & this may sound aweful but first thing in the morning- rinse mouth with water & then swish about 2 tbsps of coconut oil or similar oil for as close to 20 minutes you can manage, then spit out (not down the drain & it won't be beneficial to the drain). I found it helped stop plague build up & another friend who suffered bleeding gums, has now got no problems.
My oncologist has not problems with the anti-oxidants in food eg goji berries, maqui berry powder etc as the body will use what it can. High dose intravenous types eg Vitamin C is a not allowed. A glass of red wine is also suppose to be ok but it's very occassional that I will actually feel like it or it taste right.
For years I've been juicing, using as much bio dynamic or organic food as possible, avoided processed food & used chemical free skin care products so have to wonder, why? But have been a highly energetic person, always on the go,doing 3 things at once & probably more stressed than I'd like to admit.
But as the oncologist says - she cannot pinpoint what gave me the cancer; could have been partly hereditary, stress, a chemical from years ago......but one thing I have learnt, it's time for me, slow down & let go of many things. Keep being heathy in what I put into the body, control as much as I can in my environment & especially stay positive witih mind power.
You mentioned pregnancy & I need to research more about the percentage rates of BC with women who have had IVF. Over 10 years ago I went through 4 rounds of IVF (unsuccessful) but the synthetic hormones certainly put me into a mess mentally. When I realised this, I seriously detoxed & within a month felt like a new or back to normal person.
Hence I've always been conscious of medications & avoided HRT medication wtih menopause. Another comment that has come up is BC & women who have had breast reductions?
Things for the to do list ......
Cheers, Gina
