No way am I advising anyone what they should do. But I truely believe in what we eat can cause many of our health ailments.
Back in late 80's/early 90's got Testicular cancer twice, had surgery/chemo/radiation both times. Four years ago had brain cancer, had surgery in Boston Mass thru nostrils for removal lemon size tumor, but the inoperable tumor, I had to go to UK cause USA will not go above certain levels for radiotherapy, got rid of the tumor but my short term memory has been harmed a bit.
Was diagnosed three years ago Sarcoidis disease and Fibromyalgeria, and sleep apnea. Always have had Klinefelter's syndrome and bi-polar(brain in hyper-drive often) so I have a number of constant problems. My body stopped being able to process hormonal meats/dairy/processed sugars.
Two years ago, NoDoji suggested to me the McDougal diet.

Thank you NoDoji.
I am in middle of Prostrate cancer chemo treatments at MD Anderson and things are getting better. Cancer runs heavy in my family, so from early on, I have always gone for bi-yearly checkups. I take some 35 extra vitamins/supplements a day plus protein powder. If you need a quick boost of energy, drink a glass of powdered Barley grass three times a day, gawd aweful tasting stuff and chase that down with aloe vera juice and you be sprinting down the block for a couple reasons, LOL.
I often believe in mind over matter, if you have faith in the regime of your doctors and alternatives, you will get better.
Again, I am not offering a solution, everyone's problems are different, but I rather have an open mind to alternatives and believe in combining what makes sense to me.
