I am on Herception (4 months now) and when I started I did 9 weeks of Chemo --- but I have lost almost 20 pounds --- since March when I had surgery.... because I gave up everything and am doing a health "cure" along with my medical cure.

I became a vegetarian, gave up coffee, sugar, white everything (pasta, bread, rice), meat and all animal products. So, the great point is I have lost the 20 or so pounds I had "gained" in 3 years in Italy!

With this diet (eat to live as I call it) I can't gain weight - and its great!

Few of my favorite websites that explain ph and the power of diet and supplements:

Favorite Books:
The Cancer Battle Plan Sourcebook (this is the updated version) by David Frahm
Amazing book that outlines how to cure yourself – or as they call it - detoxify the body.

Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor – by Kris Carr

If you are interested in more information please email me at karen_mppseattle@hotmail.com - I have a lot gathered in documents and scans and I personally believe this is the key to longevity and CURING this beast we are fighting.
