I am passionate about health and wellness and have reached my fifties.I am saddened by the number of woman amongst my group of friends who have been diagnosed with cancer, breast, lung, brain and pancratic. This even includes my younger sister Clare-Ellen who wa diagnosed some months ago with breast cancer.Of course, how we tackle the challenge of ill health is unique to each of us we do it in our own way and within our belief systems.
While I was training at the Kushi Institute in Beckett, Mass,USA as a Macrobiotic Counsellor a number of my "buddies" had been diagnosed with cancer of various types and grades and they had NOT chosen the chemotherapy route, but had chosen Macrobiotics and a complete change to their lifestyle. Macrobiotics is really a philosophy. 'Macro" means large and "Bio" means life. The foods include are whole grains, mainly organic short grain rice, a variety of vegetable, beans and bean products,sea vegetables,soups, pickles and non-aromatic teas.
I have to say this approach is not for everyone, however I have seen two people with Stage 4 Lymphoma cancer who made the changes soon enough and some years later are now working with oncologists to support others to make the necessary changes requred and to shift towards reclaiming their health.
I have attached several resource books that I recommend to clients. verne Varona is a senior Macrobiotic Teacher, Author etc who offers one to one work with those diagnosed with cancer.see his website at http://www.vernevarona.com/
Also, Suzanne Sommers Book, "Knockout". In this book Suzanne covers a wide range of Doctors and alternative approaches who are curing cancer currently..This book is a must read..
As many of you will know Michio Kushi and his wife Aveline brought Macrobitoics to the west and estabished the movement in the Unites States."The Cancer Prevention Diet" is an excellent resource with dietary suggestions, weekly menus and recipes..

I hope this information will offer some assistance to those who are looking for guidance and are open to either trying other oprions than tradtional medicine, or using food to work to either with traditional medicine.
To your wellness
