Farmed salmon

SALMON

Farmed salmon does not have the same level of omeg threes as wild fish. What animals are fed will reflect in their own fat compostion. High grain consumption will lead to high omega six in livestock , and fish.

You are better eating wild caught fish mackerel etc.

The same theory must be applicable to chicken and EGGS, and I have read does apply to cattle.

Nutritionalists have a duality about eggs. The only thought that occupies my mind and in respect of which I have come to no conclusion is that eggs are a source of arachnadoic acid AA which is one of the omega six products.

See post on articles of interest "The importance of omega three and six to breast cancer".

If you need protein in addition to fish consider taking cold extracted whey protein (consider the large body builders tubs of whey protein as you may find it more economical). Whey is reported as having a favourable impact on breast cancer, and is made up of amino acids which are the fundamental building block of the body. It is very effectively digested unlike some proteins

AND FINALLY read "The Raw Food Diet" by Adelle Davies in my personal amatuer view is essential reading for vegitarians.

As usual it is all out there - try searching on the annieapplseed site - the permutations of cancer are so complex you have got to look for yourself and decide what is best for you.

Hi Rb and Becky,

Thanks for your response.
I take wild salmon at least 2 servings a week. I am starting now for a short time to take chicken once a week and increase 2 servings of salmon to 4 a week.
Besides this I have been drinking a 12 oz glass of green leafy vegetable juice. I use vegetables like collard, Kale, Chard , cabbage, kiwi.
Also I take 6 oz wheatgrass juice every morning.

Last time I had this HGB issue then my nutritionist had suggested increasing the prtien by 1 serving a day.
I am trying that again this time with egg, chicken and salmon.
Any other tips, please write.
Regards,
RUpali

I am delighted you are already a convert to the principles of the importance of diet, - and more disciplined than I am.

I am equally slightly embarassed!

You have not included whey as a protein source from what you have written. Do look it up in relation to breast cancer, and maybe talk to your nutritionalist. I would be interested to hear any comment.

I wish you the best of outcomes,

RB

Hi RB,

Thanks for the advice on WHEY Protien. I am going to present it to my nutrionist this Friday and leave a message with it for my naturopath today.
I think WHEY PRotien might be a good thing to naturally get me out of that chemo RBC suppresion phase and I hate to go the route to get ARANESP or any extra medication.
Is the lowering of hemoglobin after dose dense chemo something others have also experienced.
Any other tips for improving the hemoglobin by diet is appreciated.

Regards,
Rupali
