good stuff

Thanks for that. It helps as I have been wondering that now that my chemo has finished what else I could do diet wise to help staying in remission. Alkalising your body and alkaline diet seems worth a shot now... Although I have also been thinking that since glycolysis uses sugar I should be trying to maintain a low gi diet to avoid sugar rush and increased insulin and therefore include protein in the diet (fish but that is acid). Some people have also mentioned about "starving off" the cancer, not sure what they mean..

Will miss my carbs and treats..
Best wishes
Karina
