Dear Glad ---

Just in case you are curious (as I always am!) but here is my list of books and websites - to read up on this - also I have read a lot about pH and controlling the pH of the body. The theory is that cancer doesn't grow in a neutral pH environment... so controlling your bodies pH can help control if cancer can come back again.

And congrats on the 9 pounds! Keep it up - I have lost 30 in the last year. Piano, piano as the Italians say ---(slowly, slowly!). But I eat lots of fresh raw veg - so I am never hungry and it is great for nutrients and I don't miss the meat. (ok, I know I cheat sometimes and have one meal - usually every week or 10 days of fish and then I have a bite of meat occasionally if something really smells good that my man is eating!) but I don't miss the meat. And nuts and legumes are just great now. After a year - it gets easier! I have recently given up salt - as I was reading in the Gerson Diet book I have that salt can be at the heart of lots of disease --- and also Dr. Gerson discovered his diet when he was trying to cure his own migraine headaches. His diet is super strict but I think it really has some great points. If I ever see cancer try to come back I'll switch to his super strict diet and battle it that way - without chemo!

I miss Trader Joes! :-) There is nothing like it here in Sardegna. I live for the local garden coup store - basically a tiny garage that local farmers here bring fresh fruit and veg and they sell it to the locals --- its the next best thing. And... hey, its not too bad - I live in ITALY! :-)
