It sounds like she wants the best for you but at some point, you're the one with cancer and you really don't need her haranguing you over something that will, at its very best, do nothing. I wish you continued strength in dealing with her, on top of everything else, but encourage you to find a gentle and polite way to tell her to mind her own business.Knightly Q.

As for the people who support them, manufacture the stuff, their staff, etc., well... let's cross that bridge when we come to it. First things first, cure. I'll hold you to that promise. :)<br /><br />The Hallelujah diet sounds kind of like my hypothetical anti-cancer taco diet: you eat a lot of tacos and if it cures you, "Hallelujah!"<br /><br />So I'm going to keep eating delicious tacos, and I'm going to keep listening to my NO's advice, and I'm going to keep fighting. And should all that fail me, then, well... that sucks.Knightly Q.

It also involved buying a $500 juice extractor. I just told him I'd research it. When he asked me about it later, I told him I had researched it but it didn't seem appropriate given my circumstances although there were a lot of positive things about it (in this case drinking extracts of vegetables was not a bad thing). He didn't press the issue.<br /><br />My aunt discovered a cure that involved a macrobiotic consultation from some hippy commmune in Boston. She asks me about it every time we speak. I'm starting to run out of excuses. I just keep telling her I'm changing my eating habits and removing as much processed food as possible (Trader Joe's doesn't count as processed does it?) and that keeps her at bay.<br /><br />Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199852292667540557.post-34202311743722150942012-03-25T13:52:21.849-07:002012-03-25T13:52:21.849-07:00Hi Knightly,

I have a friend I haven't seen in years who was telling me about several different alternative treatments for my husband Duke.I can,t remember what they were right now but when I looked into them, in order to get the magic information to cure Duke I had to buy their book. I promise you if I ever had the cure I would not charge you for the information to obtain said cure.She also recommended the Hallelujah diet, what ever the heck that is.<br />I don't buy any of that garbage. Duke did all the right things, like quitting smoking 15 years ago, going for regular colon and prostrate screenings etc etc, and look what that got him, a brain tumor! <br />He didn't have a chance from the start with this thing.<br />I hope you being a younger man,less damage, you will have a fighting chance for a cure. I'm pulling for you buddy,<br />joanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7199852292667540557.post-20287399310019559092012-03-24T18:24:56.609-07:002012-03-24T18:24:56.609-07:00You could put the onerous on your oncologist and t...You could put the onerous on your oncologist and tell your boss that you discussed it with your oncologist (which you can do) and he does not think it is wise to be taking essiac tea while you are on chemotherapy. Your boss won't want to contradict your physician. I see my husband with that chemo fog for at least 2 weeks after the chemo and then it seems to clear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
