Cancer - Chronic Lymphocytic Leukmia

Hippocrates said, "Let food by thy medicine, and medicine by thy food."  Unfortunately, processed foods, genetically modified foods, and pesticide laden foods (not to mention meat riddled with hormones and antibiotics) are creating untold health problems for Americans.  So, choosing one's "medicine" or food wisely is critical.  Make sure you research the "dirty-dozen" plant foods and purchase only organic, non-gmo plants from that group (to include celery, spinach, lettuce, spinach, etc.).  This is an essential first step.  Then, research gluten-sensitivity.  An excellent book is Wheat Belly by cardiologist Dr. William Davis.  Our wheat has become so alduterated, it is causing a myriad of health problems.  So, eliminating gluten from your diet is essential to your recovery.

Another compelling and helpful book would be The China Study by T. Colin Campbell, PhD, and Thomas Campbell, MD.  This book was recommended by my integrative physician.  I have adopted many of the nutritional guidelines regarding a plant-based diet (and reduction of animal protein…my doctor does not advocate eliminating all animal protein, but it must be in the minority and, by all means, organic).  I have also eliminated all milk protein. 

And, of course, in order for any nutritional program to be successful, your intestinal health is of utmost importance per many healthcare professionals to include Ms. Brenda Watson.  As you probably know from her lectures (and backed up by research), 80% of the body's immune defense is produced in the intestines.  Probiotics (and I personally take Brenda Watson's Renew Critical Care and Vaginal Care probiotics for healing my systemic yeast infection and to boost my immune system).  So, I highly recommend that you start on her probiotic protocol and digestive health protocol ASAP.  Also important to your digestive health is drinking plenty of pure water (free of flouride and chlorine…very upsetting to one's digestive health).  I personally rent a Culligan water purifier to rid my water of flouride and chlorine.  I increases the pH of the water, but with all the organic plants I am eating these days and having eliminated gluten and sugar from my diet, the pH of my urine is now at a healthy level (essential for keeping the body healthy, especially in your case…fighting cancer as the body needs to be alkaline in order to fight cancer.)

I hope this helps.  I am sending positive thoughts your way!
