Re: Advantages of Exercise and Diet
When I think about the younger generations, I feel so very lucky to have been young in the time period when I was young! So many of the changes that have made life "easier" for them than it was for me, aren't the really important "improvements". There were times I didn't like back then, but those times were nothing compared to how difficult the really important things are now for young people. I know if I were young now it would be much harder to find a job than it was for me back then.
When I had treatment, the only discussion from health care providers I had was to be careful to eat enough so that I wouldn't lose weight. At least that seems to have changed and they (and we) are a little more aware of the risks of weight gain.
I do believe that understanding and applying metabolism practices is key when it comes to cancer, and that there is much more to it than just having an initial period of treatment that is hit or miss and is focused so myopically on "killing cancer cells".

P.S. Thanks Rich, for your post in the other thread about the conference overseas. I am interested in seeing what Tak Mak from U of Toronto has to say there, about metabolism and cancer.
