I have a host of books and info --- and I have been on the health food kick - wagon --- and tooting its horn for the last year here on the board!

Here is my list (Eat to Live is on it!) but still haven't finished it ... oops! :-) But reading so much these days I can't only read health stuff! Lately I got a bunch of old Oprah Magazines from my Canadian girlfriend in Umbria who is moving back to Canada (and bummed!) but its hard to find anything light and fun in english here in Italy! So.... heres my list:
Few of my favorite sites with loads of information:

Favorite Books:

o The Cancer Battle Plan Sourcebook (this is the updated version) - by David Frahm
o Crazy Sexy Cancer Survivor – by Kris Carr
o Beating Cancer with Nutrition – by Patrick Quillin PhD, RD, CNS
o Eat to Live – by Joel Fuhrman, MD
o The Gerson Therapy – The amazing nutritional program for cancer and other illnesses – by Charlotte Gerson and Morton Walker, DPM
o A Cancer Therapy – Results of Fifty Cases – by Max Gerson, MD
o 50 Essential Things to Do -

*********

I would highly recommend reading Cancer Battleplan Sourcebook --- it was really the book that changed my entire attitude about eating to live (so to speak) he also talks a lot about the toxic load on our immune systems and how things like dental issues, and parasites can also contribute to the breakdown of the ability of our immune system to fight disease. Cancer is a immune system dis-function disease ... theoretically we should be able to detect and fight off any cancer cells, but for some reason those of us who have cancer - have not managed to do that. So.... we can't keep doing the same things (eating etc.) like we did before we got cancer and expect that it won't come back.... thats why I have drastically changed my diet and my supplement program.

I take a handful of supplements morning and night - I juice and I exercise (only walking now but hope that soon I will be less sore and can start running again!) daily --- and I am a vegan... but I don't eat animal products - so not even cheese (yes, I admit I do have a tiny bit of grated pecorino on my whole wheat pasta but only a few days a week) and I have 1-2 organic eggs a week... but thats it. Animal products create acid in our bodies and mess with the pH - and I am tracking pH --- as the theory is that cancer can not grow (or thrive) in a pH neutral environment. So... thats what I am doing.

I have some good attachments on pH if you are interested - send me an email to: wheelistic@yahoo.com and I can get them to you--- interesting stuff.
PS- have a bunch of recipes but need to get them all organized and electronic --- let me know and I'll start sending them to you too! (email above)
:-)
Live long and strong –
