Pamela H in Texas Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 cancerproject.org If you have Netflix, you might look at the documentary on Gerson therapy. Disclaimer: I am not advocating these, just saying they may be a jumping off point or consideration as one is looking at various things. I'd be looking at these, Low Dose Naltrexone, and other such things if I was (or my hubby or children were) facing cancer. What I would ultimately do, though, would...that is a bridge I'd have to cross at that time with the information I had available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizzyBee Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Anticancer by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD was a good read. Thanks, I will look for that book. My library website is down, so I can't check to see if they have it until the website starts working again. :glare: ETA: The library has it. YAY!

I'm definitely doing conventional treatment, but I'm trying to look at other ways to boost my health, too. I've looked at some general guidelines, and I think my diet's pretty good. There is a lot of emphasis on eating fresh fruits and vegetables, which I do. We have Netflix, so I'll look for that documentary, as well as the other things you listed. Thanks!

Laurie Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Not sure about a specific website, but try doing a search for "Johanna Budwig" or "Budwig protocol". (Cottage cheese or quark blended with flaxseed oil is part of the diet. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Anticancer by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD was a good read. :iagree: :iagree: :iagree: Love this book. I'm sorry you're going through this now. :grouphug: I need to re-read that book. My goal is to re-read it every year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeBeaks Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 http://www.crazysexycancer.com/ This person has a book out as well regarding her diet (vegan). She is a young cancer survivor with a rare form of cancer. Her book has some irritating (to me) language in it after a while, but her diet advice is written both by her and several prominent MDs in the book. She also talks about general health, mind/body, supplements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
