Kathy...

That sounds like an awful diet...if cancer doesn't throw you in depression, that diet will!!
My sister has always been very fit and well nourished. After her first diagnosis (stage 1v), she began a strict diet, taking multiple vitamins daily and even started taking 714XÃÂ*she recovered very quickly from chemo , but soon had a relapse on Arimidex. Now, she is much less fanatical about her diet. She eats well, but doesnÃâ€*t obsessÃÂ*lots of broccoli, beats (she needs iron) , mushrooms, a couple of multi-vitamins and usually a large cup of ice cream every dayÃÂ*not sure why about the ice creamÃÂ*I guess she enjoys it and thatÃâ€*s a good enough reason! She also sees a Reichi master weekly. HereÃâ€*s HER take on cancer: She believes that all of us have it, but not all of us have the immune system to heal it. She believes the nutrition is only a small part of this, but that our minds are the most important part in determining if we will develop it and how well we can fight itÃÂ*factors such as our relationships with parents, siblings, spouses, friends; our ability to articulate our thoughts and/or problemsÃÂ*the ôemotional environmentö in which weÃâ€*ve spend most of our lives, will determine our susceptibility to cancer. But if we only knew for sure..
