Metastatic breast cancer

Hi Sam, Just curious with the Budwig diet do you have the cottage cheese and flaxseed oil mix?

Hi Sam,

You are very inspiring. I have just opened up 3 new blogs for meal ideas as I have people asking for ideas in this area. Would welcome your input when you have time.

Hi Celeste, welcome i am in a hurry sorry but wanted to let you know that i loved the gawler foundation and the program is life changing and well worth the bucks. My advice is eat no animal products at all if you are brave enough to go cold turkey even better! I cant even eat one of my beaut chicken's eggs now as my body is sensitised. I like Ann Maree eat quinoa and i have brown rice now too mixed with avocado carrot beetroot cabbage cucumber etc. I aim to eat as much raw food as possible but love haelthybake spelt bread it rocks! I also eat organic gluten free wraps with my salad often for lunch. I eat stacks of hummus and some falafel, sweet potato and dont have starchy stuff like potatoes. I eat very little fruit but sometimes throw in an apple. I always start the day with lemon juice in warm alkaline water and take heaps of supplements that i mainly researched myself but main ones for breast cancer are indol 3 carbinol and lipoec acid plus i have a hormone receptive cancer  and use progesterone cream as this has been known to bring on apoptosis so i am a bit of a guinea pig with that one but my hormone levels are excellent and i sleep like a baby. My diet has improved my life though i have lost 17 kilos i have also lost sinus and ibs and feel the best ever. Some people dont do as well eating mainly raw food so listen to your body but not your mind...saying just give me one of those chips, lamb chops, yoghurt etc etc. I feel it is not forever and my cancer is regressing slowly. My supposed lung mets are gone and i attribute that to diet, qigong, and budwig diet, google the latter if you dont know about it. Good luck fellow warrior!

Hi ,

My scan results showed no change which was disappointing but my chinese doctor pointed out clear boundaries and less uptake in higher spine areas and my other docs are just surprised it has not spread at all in 6 months. I go to Energise for Life website for info on alkaline foods and then just choose best. I started with only vege and grains quinoa and legumes that is all. Plus I had healthybake spelt bread with avocado so snuck a bit of grain in. Just been in samoa for 2 weeks terrible diet looking to improve again quickly!!! Take care hope you are well gotta run 3 year old yelling for attention....

What brand/ type spelt bread do you eat?

Hi Sam,

How did your scan results go?

I have been put in touch with a lady who has been diagnosed with breast cancer. She wants to go vegan/organic.

Did you get the 100 percent alkaline diet out of a book or given by a practitioner. Your diet seems less complex than mine so I am keen to explore this.What food groups were you allowed in the 1st 3 months.

Do you do juicing?

Many Thanks

Anne Maree

Hi Sam,

Just a short note to say I havent disappeared. There is a lot of info in your last entry. I will see my Naturopath this week and discuss some of the things. I did try looking for the returnt2health website but failed.I am on enzymes but will look into the ones you are taking.

I restarted chemo nearly 3 weeks ago. I am not happy to go diet alone at this stage as I have been on similar diets right up until I was diagnosed last year. Meditation plays a big part of my life, I believe in remaining in peaceful place very important for wellbeing and healing.

I have been going to naturopaths for nearly 20 years believing my health issues could be solved this way. I still highly value natural health, however I believe I have deeper issues with my immune system which caused this cancer to grow out of control despite being constantly vigilent in improving my health.

I have rarely been to doctors up until diagnosed, apart from having the odd tests done.

I start my second round chemo this friday. I have had to readjust life again, relearning how to live 'well' on chemo.

Let you know what I come up with after appoint on Wednesday

Hi,

Have you thought about coffee enemas ie. Gerson therapy to help your liver? I have the kit here but have stuck to colonic irrigations only which I have read are especially good for treating breast cancer. I recommend Marianne Williamson-A reason for love and Shivani Goodman- 9 steps to reversing cancer and other serious illnesses as books. I saw Marianne at conference and she is amazing. I do qigong every day and have started running my classes twice a week. It is amazing how many people have recovered using qigong and diet alone. It makes sense as it is all about oxygenating the body and my breathing is much deeper because of it. My diet purely consisted of colourful raw, mainly, vege in the first 3 months plus some spelt bread, chickpeas, lentils and quinoa.

Apparently chickpeas are hard to digest and broccoli needs to be atleast covered in boiling water for 30 seconds to make it more digestable. Have I mentioned vitalzym? I buy it from return2health. net but it is expensive. It lasts a few months though as I just take 10 a day. The enzymes are meant to help with breakdown of cancer cell wall. I have had another good result with urine test from phillipines. It is easy to do and you can find it at Navarro Medical Centre. I have steadily dropped my reading over 4 and 1/2 months. I too waiting for bone scan now on August 24th a little apprehensive but excited too as everything seems to be moving in right direction but I need to see the proof.

Take care and all the best. Discipline is hard but worth it x

Hi Sam,

Saw my oncologist last Monday and confirmed 3 Liver tumors. Wasnt able to have bone scan Friday as they failed with cannula.

My Oncologist feels happy with my response, I was expecting a much bigger gap. My cancer on diagnosis was highly aggressive and my oncologist was thinking 18 months initially. I start chemo again this Friday.I will push on with diet and find ways to make it more simple, with increased anti-oxidants.

I have simplified my diet a little, to cope with increasing fatique in the past week. I am eating lot of raw baby broccoli, fennel, lettuce etc fresh from garden, with dressing of garlic, lemon juice, celtic salt. I get protein with lentils, nuts chia seeds or protein powder. I have leafy green powder 3-4 times day, plus vitamins.

What was the outline of your alkaline diet in the first 3 months.

Had lunch with friend who went to same conference as you last weekend. She had a lovely time as well.
