HI...read your letter about your son and his cancer. I
am a cancer survivor for 17 years. It has recently
returned in lymph nodes in my neck. I am doing a self
designed diet of raw foods(80% raw, 20% cooked) and
juicing 12, 8oz. glasses of carrot& green juice per
day. I am doing 2 coffee enemas per week. One IV of 50
grams of vitamin C per week and taking 10 grams on non
IV days.
I'm doing multiple supplements also. I'm convinced
that this is going to ultimately heal me and I have
read many stories on the internet of such healings and
read all the books that have been published by people
that did intensive diet therapys. I go to a support
group of juicing and raw food people and met a woman
at this group who is well 5 years from using this
approach and no other. They are out there!!!!! They
can't all write books. It's a lot of work but there is
something wonderful about taking the responsibility
back into your own hands...it gives you a lot of
hope!!!! I am not suggesting anyone drop their other
treatments but try the juicing and raw live food in
addition to the other treatments. This 12 juice per
day is a diet that Dr. Max Gerson used back in the
30's and it is the diet that Dr. Lorraine Day used to
heal her breast cancer. The coffee enema is a way of
helping the liver rid the body of toxins. It is used
by almost all alternative Dr.s
I am in Gainesville, Fl. and if you do come to Shands
I could help you with information on the diet and
juicing. I am an Acupuncture Physician with an office
in my home. Good Luck to you on this journey.
