I have been using some some Sunrider products. They have beneficial properties, but are super expensive, but if they help you, it's worth it. Here's an interesting blog I found on line about Sunrider...(just google search for more info)...

Alkaline Ash and Acidic Ash FoodsSeptember 17, 2008
The regenerative table foods we eat can help us keep the pH of our bodies in balance, which is vital for regeneration to take place. Imbalance leads to the development of virus, yeast, fungus, mold and parasites which leads to a diseased, degenerating body.
Our body is about 20% acidic and 80% alkaline; therefore it is recommended that we consume approximately 20% acidic foods and 80% alkaline foods.
Sunrider foods are alkaline, so I feel eating them everyday will help keep our body’s pH more alkaline and therefore in balance.
But, it is really important what other foods we are eating. I want to share a chart that I have found, ranking from the most alkaline to the most acidic.

Nature’s Green Magic…ChlorophyllSeptember 11, 2008
Chlorophyll is the “blood of plant life.” It is the life force of plants and contains life-giving nutrients that are easily assimilated by the human body.
Evergreen….Sunrider’s highly concentrated Chlorophyll
The highly concentrated chlorophyll in Evergreen addresses the body’s circulatory and digestive systems. Evergreen is exclusively formulated herbal concentrated with owner expertise and based on the Philosophy of Regeneration: to maintain optimum health through proper nutrition and keeping the body balanced.
If you were to consume green, leafy vegetable in order to achieve the effect of one bottle of Evergreen; you would need to eat a tremendous amount, hardly possible in a regular meal. All natural, Evergreen does not contain artificial sweeteners, colors or preservatives.
Sunrider’s Evergreen works faster than any other Chlorophyll on the market because of its special oil absorption formula created by Dr. Chen.
I absolutely love Evergreen. I add a vial of Evergreen to my morning Sunrider smoothie! It has a wonderful minty flavor and I love the way it makes me feel. I have more energy and less “gas” and fresher breath. I highly recommend Evergreen to all of my family and you!

REGENERATION: THE PROCESS OF PURIFICATIONSeptember 11, 2008
All cure starts from within then moving outward, from the head down and
In reverse order as the symptoms have appeared. – HERING’S LAW OF CURE
Food for Body
In order to overcome sickness and achieve vitality, superior health, higher energy levels and longevity, we must begin eating Nutrient Dense Foods. These are whole foods that are never the result of the processing activity. These foods are in the raw state and are electromagnetically charged with a “life force” that is separate and distinct from the caloric energy that is released from food by digestion, enzymatic action and assimilation. We must be eating whole, natural, and enzyme active foods that have not been refined, processed, overcooked or preserved with chemicals. These actions, plus micro-waving and the new problem of food irradiation with Cobalt-60 and Cesium 137, render conventional foods lifeless and devoid of any enzyme activity.
Gabriel Cousins, MD stated:
All life processes depend on enzyme function. When enzymes are depleted, so is our vital force and health. Another physician, Yoshihide Hagiwara, MD stated: Enzymes are involved in moving our hands and legs, and even in the process of thinking. If enzymes were lost, all the functions of our body would fail.
Wouldn’t it be better to seek health as a part of your lifestyle? We basically have two choices. We can pay now for higher quality food or we can pay a whole lot more later (in money and misery) just by trying to stay alive.
If we continue to eat food in its unnatural state, we will deplete our body’s supply of enzymes, which will result in the degeneration of our genetically weaker glands and organs.
SUNRIDER IS 100% REAL LIVE FOOD!!
No preservatives No added Sugar
No pesticides No chemical additives
Your body will feel the difference!
Something remarkable starts to happen when you improve the quality of foods you eat –
Your body starts discarding GARBAGE such as:
• Sludge in the arteries, veins and capillaries
• Excess bile in the liver and gallbladder
• Toxic mucous in the digestive tract
• Masses that have been longstanding
• Arthritic food preservatives and additives
• Masses of fat and toxic laden mucous
• Stagnant & polluted water in the cells suspending the toxins
• Poisons and harmful drugs, sleeping pills, aspirin
• Accumulated & impacted mucous in the colon
• Yeast, fungi and parasites
• Degenerating and dead cells
• Unassimilated food components (especially fats and proteins)
• Inorganic minerals, heavy metals, pesticides
• Environmental pollution such as chlorine, carbon dioxide, nicotine build up in the lungs
• Antibiotics and other substances built up in individual cells interfering with normal function
ENERGY
Eating Sunrider’s whole, live concentrated herbal foods gives the body the ENERGY to do major “housecleaning” which it is designed to do naturally, but couldn’t do because it didn’t have the ENERGY to do it thoroughly.
ESSENTIALS
Ridding the body of this garbage is absolutely essential in order to rebuild healthy cells and ultimately a healthy body. Realize that your body is becoming younger and healthier every day because you are throwing off more and more wastes which would eventually have brought pain, disease and much suffering.
Be encouraged if you are having cleansing signs!
What are Cleansing Signs?
When detoxification and elimination functions are working properly, the person is not aware that cleansing is taking place. This occurs when the LIVER, KIDNEY and COLON are strong and well supported nutritionally; when the person is EXERCISING ADEQUATELY, and when ENOUGH FLUID is being used to move toxic materials along quickly. However, when these conditions are not met, cleansing signs may be experienced. When the body’s eliminative capability is overloaded, one can experience such discomforts as:
nausea
frequent urination
constipation or diarrhea
old or new aches and pains
sores or bad taste in the mouth
depression and irritability
skin breakouts and itching
fatigue
headaches
colds and fevers
excessive perspiration and body odor
Early Signs of Healing & Regeneration
This process of regeneration is exciting as we look at some of the early signs of healing. You may experience some of these benefits right away while waiting for others to occur in your process of regeneration:
more positive thoughts
waking up more rested and less need for daytime naps
clearer thinking and a better ability to make decisions
better able to handle stress, more patient, and more tolerant of others
more courageous to try new things
eyes clearer
allergy relief
PMS relief
skin tone evening out
fuller, shinier hair
stronger nails
better digestion and elimination
“craving” healthier foods
losing inches even before pounds
natural slenderness, decreased cellulite
better memory, less need to take notes, and easier learning
I can say from my own experiences with Sunrider foods, that I looked forward with anticipation to the healing signs and regeneration as I daily consumed Sunrider foods and beverages!
I did experience some “cleansing” and I was excited, because I knew that my body was getting healthier by getting rid of all the toxins that were stored in my body.
I urge you to try Sunrider foods and see for yourself what superior nutrition can do for you!

Sunrider has Eco-friendly Cleaning Products!September 3, 2008
High Protein-Low Carbohydrate Diets:
· Where people have failed to lose weight on processed low-fat foods, they often have turned to high protein/low carbohydrate diets. They’re trading their health for temporary weight loss. It is very dangerous!
· Too much intake of protein in a lifestyle causes
Increased dangerous cholesterol levels.
Calcium to be excreted from the bones leading to osteoporosis.
Kidney stress and stones.
Dehydration, constipation, varicose veins, hemorrohoids and hiatal hernia.
· Our body is designed to be fueled by glucose (complex carbs—fruits, grains, vegetables)—the fuel for the brain function, red blood cells and kidney.
· Our body is designed so it can use & convert high-amino acid foods (legumes, vegetables, nuts, & seeds) into protein.
Just a personal note here: I was on the high protein/low carbohydrates diet for over a year. I lost 35 pounds, but my health paid the price! I was already starting to have some major health issues before I started it, but after I changed my eating habits to mostly meat and high protein foods, my health took a big dive! I realize now my body was starving for good nutrition. My body was so out of balance that it is no wonder that I ended up so sick! At that point, I decided I needed better nutrition, and started eating what I thought was eating healthy…but, I not only gained back the 35 pounds, but added another 10.
Then once I found Sunrider Foods and started eating a “Balanced” diet my health did a huge turn for the better. I now am living proof of how wonderful it is to have a “Healthy, balanced” body. I started eating Sunrider foods for better health, but in the process, lost 4 pant sizes! I am thankful everyday that I found Sunrider foods when I did. I truly don’t know if I would still be here right now if I hadn’t!
What about carbohydrates?
· Carbohydrates fall into two categories: simple (processed) and complex (from nature). We have simple carbohydrate addition in America, due mainly to our primary use of fast, processed foods. The continuous eating of simple, refined carbohydrates results in growing weight gain.
· Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, in their whole food state, are the foods intended for our primary source of fuel—for mental function, to have body energy, and to burn fat.
· Did you know that the Chinese consume 20% more calories than Americans, yet Americans are 25% fatter? The main difference is that the Chinese eat more complex carbohydrates—foods you can go pick from the garden—fruit, vegetables, and legumes.
Fiber is important:
· Fiber binds with fat & cholesterol lowering the risk of heart disease and obesity.
· Fiber binds with carcinogens lowering the risk of cancer.
· Fiber is carried out thru the feces.
· Fiber helps sustain blood sugar!
· Most Americans eat 1/3 of the recommended amount: RDA of 25-35 grams.
· 3 delicious Sunrider’s meal-replacement Vitalite SunBars will meet all the RDA/day!

Would you like a Healthy Weight for Life? (Part I)August 19, 2008
Sunrider Foods are for people who want to gain their
Health, Vitality, and Beauty!
· Without dieting!
· Without Starving!
· Without Calorie Counting!
· Without Stimulants!
· Without negative side effects!
No famine here! Just wonderful food!
· Sunrider foods are whole, energy-packed, concentrated convenient herbal foods.
· Foods that Nourish, Balance, & Cleanse the body.
· When the body is healthy enough, it will let go of fat naturally.
Healthy weight for life!
Sunrider is for people who
· Want to regenerate their bodies.
· Want to feel & look their best!
Are you one of those people?
Regenerating Body
· We are the ultimate masterpiece of creation with bodies designed to heal themselves and maintain health!
· Look what happens what happens when you cut your finger…healing is a miracle happening before our eyes! This is regeneration!
· Unfortunately most of us have been going down a fast path of degeneration where we age before our time, we succumb to degenerative diseases, and we lose our youthful physiques.
· Why? Because of the choices we have made and the degenerating-toxic world that we live in.
The Philosophy of Regeneration:
This is the fundamental philosophy behind all of Sunrider’s foods and products.
· Sunrider believes that when the body is given enough of the proper combination of “Whole foods” that are “Enzymatically Live,” All the cells of the body can regenerate and keep the organs healthy.
· All Sunrider products are consistent with this philosophy…
“Life replenishing Life!” Sunrider’s weight management foods are always safe and regenerative, rather than forcing a change or substituting for weakness.
· Sunrider foods and products are truly a gift for our generation where hardly a home is without some health challenge!
·
When there’s an Energy Crisis going on in our bodies…
· The energy is being used for critical life support and little energy is left for weight management.
· This means our body will be thrown out of balance!
· Then we start having poor digestion and elimination.
· Ultimately this results in overweight and underweight.
· Let’s end the crisis! Let’s give the body enough energy through proper nourishment! Let’s improve the fuel supply!
Sunrider is all about bringing BALANCE to the body rather than TREATING “Over or under” weight.
· We create balance by adjusting the quality of food we eat to produce enough energy in our body to create a condition called health!
· In its balanced state, the body is self-regulating and self-repairing, thus helping you lose/gain and maintain your best weight naturally.
Permanent weight management happens when the body comes into balance!
· A body will start to let go of excess debris as it feels safe to do so!
· A healthy body does not store excess fat!
We use Sunrider’s Chinese Herbal Foods as part of our daily menu.
These are non-toxic “food grade” herbs also identified as “superior” herbs.
· They produce enduring beneficial effects with no decline in health and vitality, as do toxic drugs medicinal herbs.
· They do not conflict with medicines.
· They give high quality fuel to the body!
· They help us lose weight naturally!
Our Goal: Lean & Healthy!
· Without stimulants
· Without starving
· Without negative side effects
· And without calorie counting!
You want to be able to say… “I don’t care how much I weigh as long as I am losing inches!” Why? With Sunrider you will lose inches before pounds! Fat is replaced by muscle which weighs more than fat!
Fat vs. Lean Muscle:
· We want to make sure we are losing stubborn fat and not precious lean muscle!
· Important Question is not “What is my weight?” but rather “What is the % of body fat?” The ratio of lean body mass (muscle, bone, organs) to fat (essential & non-essential)? % Fat vs. # pounds!
· Example: 2 women- both 125 lbs., both 5’ 5”, 1st is 30% fat, 2nd is 18% fat.
The 30% fat – greater risk of many chronic diseases. 18% fat – More energy, vitality, no jiggles when she waves. Fits into smaller size – muscle takes up less space, better shape. Lean muscle helps maintain a high metabolism.
· If you drop a dress size, but the scales say you are the same, it means you have lost fat and increased lean mass. Losing fat & gaining muscle—that’s exciting!
· You want to keep your lean mass because your lean muscle is what helps maintain a good metabolism rate.
· When you lose lean muscle you reduce metabolism, have less energy, and do not have energy for routine activities.
· Goal: Increase Lean Mass=increased metabolism, energy, vitality, strength, and ultimately healthy weight for life!
Since this is such a great topic and I have a lot of information to share, I will continue in the next post.

Soy…The Good…The Bad!August 1, 2008
I would like to address an issue that questions are arising about.
There is a lot of research being done on the use of soy and the findings of the
research are that it has many negative aspects and that we in the United States
are using too much. The research is published on several websites.
I wish to clarify some of the points regarding the use of the whole soybean in Sunrider’s
NuPlus formulas.
1. Sunrider has always taught (from day ONE) that “soy protein isolate” is not
a food and is a dangerous substance to the body. Whether it is in baby formula,
diet drinks, or health drinks in the can for seniors, it is not good, and we do not
use it…not ever!
As mentioned in the research, theAsian’s fermented their soy to make it usable
by the body and to destroy the enzymes that are dangerous and/or indigestible.
2. Dr. Chen has always told us he soaks ferments and germinates the soybean.
He “just happens to be Chinese”! He has recipes from ancient manuscripts.
3. OurNuPlus formula is “enzyme rich” because we do more than just soybeans.
We ENHANCE and BALANCE them with other foods, which of course is unique to
Sunrider. We have never had a “soy only” product. Soy has a lot of enzymes that
other grains do not have, and wisdom is needed in preparing correctly. It always needs
to be fermented.
Dr. Chen has told us “no blanket statement or one way covers everything” pertaining
to GOOD AND BAD in food. There are good points and bad points in all foods…that
is why he balances foods so that good is able to over-power any negative effects. Sunrider
individualizes and specializes. We are so fortunate to have Dr. Chen with his wisdom
of plants and how to prepare and formulate, as well as grow and cultivate them.
I don’t eat any soy product….except the soy Dr. Chen prepares correctly for his products. Soy sauce most often has MSG (monosodium glutimate) in it, plus high sodium. Soy not prepared correctly can suppress the immune system as it has to try to get rid of anything that isn’t digestible or natural. Most American companies just grind up soy beans or just soak it, but Dr. Chen uses a fermentation method to kill an enzyme that could affect the immune system.
Personally , I like Almond Milk. Others are using Rice Milk. You can ask the
company you buy from how they prepare their soy products. But it would be
good not to over-do on any soy milk, yogurt or tofu.
You can enjoy eating our wonderfulNUPLUS andVITASHAKE with assurance
that it is a safe product! I’ve been eating it for over 5 years and seeing all ages
from babies to the elderly consume it and enjoy a continued measure of good
health!!

Building a Nutritional Foundation!June 29, 2008
Sunrider products are different than most nutritional supplements because they are concentrated plant food formulations that combine 5000 years of Chinese herbal research and health principles with Western medical knowledge.
The Sunrider Philosophy of Regeneration: When nourished and cleansed with the proper combination of foods, the body can balance itself.
The ancient Chinese believed that all disease was from malnutrition. Isolated chemical supplements and medicinal herbs can cause weakness and imbalance in the body, while Sunrider herb food concentrates encourage harmony and balance. Sunrider food grade formulas are based on an ancient approach to health that pre-dates modern Chinese medicine.
When the cells have the fuel to regenerate, the human body can begin the process of healing naturally.
Take a closer look at Sunrider for your health and your future!
Sunrider’s Basic Foods….
NBC…Nourish, Balance, Cleanse
NOURISH
NuPlus—Sunrider’s most basic concentrated herbal food product and serves as the foundation on which to build a healthy diet and to fill in nutritional gaps.
NuPlus is a balanced blend of complex carbohydrates that combine concentrated herbs with soybeans, other legumes and natural freeze-dried fruit. This unique formulation contains naturally occurring bioflavonoid, antioxidants, amino acids and other beneficial phytochemicals. The all natural, superior ingredients avoid chemical isolates, preservatives, added sweeteners and fat. NuPlus is naturally low in fat and cholesterol, which makes it a smart choice to consume in between meals and at any time throughout the day.
Sunny Dew—Stevia is a remarkable herb that helps maintain normal blood sugar levels and is an excellent dietary supplement. Sunny Dew contains stevia that undergoes a unique purifying and concentration process that preserves the natural structure found in its whole food form. All-natural and clear, Sunny Dew can enhance your food and beverages.
Eat lots by drops in all your Sunrider beverages, smoothies, salads, and baking!
Balance
Quinary—50 foods that nourishes the 5 life support systems of the body—Immune, Respiratory, Circulatory, Digestive, and Endocrine (Glands)—These foods are very carefully selected to bring life and healing to the systems rather than just treating a symptom. Combined to bring working balance between the systems.
Cleanse
Calli—is an all-natural alternative to beverages with added sugar and chemicals. It contains antioxidants to protect the body from free radicals, and the unique herbal extracts in the formula assist in the body’s natural cleansing process.
Calli is very alkaline. When the body is alkaline, impurities are less likely to be absorbed or retained.
We enjoy drinking throughout the day without stimulation of caffeinated beverages.
Wonderfully refreshing!
Fortune Delight—Full of natural antioxidants that help the body fight free radicals which can damage cells, particularly as we age, this delightful herbal beverage harmonizes with the body’s natural cleansing process to help refresh and rejuvenate body and spirit! It naturally contains no fat, cholesterol or artificial sweeteners.
What a delicious, refreshing, instant beverage! Drink alone or add to your Calli. Great replacement for sodas, juices and caffeinated beverages.
In a nutshell:
Drink at least 8 cups of Calli and Fortune Delight throughout the day adding Sunny Dew for extra nourishment.
Blend NuPlus, Quinary and Sunny Dew into a Smoothie with fruit.
Or simply make a “Meal in a Mug”. Just put all of the above basic Sunrider foods together in a glass and enjoy!
It is so simple to fix, eat, and enjoy—
yet so effective!

A GOOD CANCER DIET INFO...
THIS INFO COMES FORM CANCER TUTOR (CANCERTUTOR.COM) I have to get my diet together...
Lesson 2: The Cancer Diet For Most Treatment Plans
The Concept of a Cancer Diet
I remember reading the detailed diary of a person who was trying to cure his own cancer with alternative treatments. I was puzzled why his treatments weren't working until I came across an entry several months into his treatment plan. He basically stated (after several months of alternative treatments): "I decided to stop smoking." What is wrong with this picture? What is wrong is that he thought he could treat his own cancer by popping pills. There is far more to fighting cancer with alternative treatments than popping pills.
Understand this carefully, taking any alternative cancer treatment is like putting gasoline in your car - you are on your way to killing cancer cells, etc. But having a bad diet, while you are on a cancer treatment, is like putting water in that same gasoline tank!!
As mentioned in my article "Introduction to Alternative Cancer Treatments," many people have cured their cancer using nothing but a massive change in their diet!! And I will add now that a bad diet during a cancer treatment has destroyed many alternative cancer treatments!! Something as simple as adding refined salt to your foods may destroy an entire cancer treatment!!
Hear this: THE CANCER DIET IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE CANCER TREATMENT. IF THE CANCER DIET IS NOT, IN AND OF ITSELF, TREATING THE CANCER, THEN IT IS INTERFERING WITH THE CANCER TREATMENT!!!
Another thing that must be understood is that the logic a person must use on a cancer treatment diet is different than the logic they are accustomed to using in dealing with orthodox medicine. Let me give you an example:
When taking orthodox drugs, you might encounter something like this:Step 1: Take the yellow and green pills.Step 2: Do not drink alcohol or tea after taking the pills.
What about the foods and drinks not specifically mentioned in Step 1 and Step 2? With orthodox medicine you are free to eat anything not prohibited.
But with alternative cancer treatments just the opposite is true. For example, let us consider a simplified Brandt Grape Cure diet:Step 1: Grape Juice and natural water.Step 2: Do not ingest any chlorine.
In this case, you are FORBIDDEN to eat any food that is not in Step 1, even though it is not listed in Step 2. Understand this: with alternative treatments for cancer, what you don't eat is just as important as what you are allowed to eat.
Most people who get cancer get it because of the things they have eaten!! The wrong foods created an internal terrain which allowed the body to be filled with fungus (e.g. tobacco leaves are filled with fungus, as are peanuts, to name but two of many such substances commonly consumed), such that when a carcinogenic substance reacted with the body, the internal terrain could not deal with the carcinogenic substance and the person got cancer. Thus, by default, if you want to reverse your cancer, you must reverse your diet to create a strong inner terrain.
A cancer diet severely restricts what you can eat. By default, if it is not specifically allowed to be eaten in the treatment plan, don't eat it!! The Step 2 items are simply the most damaging things to the diet.
Another key fact is that many people crave certain foods. This may be because of habit or it may be because of a food allergy. People crave foods they are allergic to. I have known this fact for 30 years. Thus, switching from the diet that caused your cancer to a diet that is needed to cure your cancer may involve the stopping of eating foods the person is allergic to (i.e. they crave). This compounds the problem and means even more effort is needed to stick to the diet.
Not All Cancer Diets are the Same
Another thing that must be understood is that for some cancer treatments there are special diets. In other words, not all cancer diets are the same.
For example, in the "InnerLight" cancer treatment of Robert O. Young, PhD, all fruits are forbidden. They are forbidden for good reason in his diet! His diet is designed to balance the pH in the blood and "remove" (I use that term in a non-technical way in this case) yeast and fungus (Y/F) from the body! Like a few other cancer treatments, his treatment converts cancer cells into normal cells.
But in other cancer treatments fruits are not only allowed, they are an integral part of the treatment. Why? Because some cancer diets are designed to kill cancer cells, and some fruits contain massive amounts of cancer-killing nutrients and the glucose in these fruits "carries" the cancer-killing nutrients into the cancer cells, which gobble up glucose and steal it from normal cells. This means they also steal the cancer-killing nutrients from normal cells. This can lead to cancer cell death.
Thus, this web page must first determine which theory of treating cancer is being used. In this web page, the straightforward theory of killing-cancer cells is used. The reason is that most of the people reading this page have been through chemotherapy and radiation, and this appears to me to be the best approach.
If you want to use the "InnerLight" diet, that is fine, but you must read the book: Sick and Tired? - Reclaim Your Inner Terrain and use the exact diet Dr. Young tells you. Ditto for the Gerson diet, the Kelley Metabolic diet, the Moerman diet (though his book is out of print so I have reproduced his diet on another web page), and so on.
The diet in this page will keep in mind, at all times, the fact that every cancer patient has a body full of fungus, yeast and mould, but its focus will only partially be on treating this problem. In fact, many cases of severe fungi infection have been misdiagnosed as leukemia. Also, some "tumors" are actually nothing but a growth of fungus.
Cancer and fungus, yeast and mould (f/y/m) are close "cousins." All are anaerobic (i.e. they exist by fermenting glucose). The treatments for cancer and the treatments for f/y/m are many times the same. The relationship between f/y/m is not fully known yet, but it clearly appears that there is a direct connection!! See Dr. Young's book for more information, as well as my article on the same topic: Click Here
The main goal of this web page will be on killing cancer cells quickly, and to a slightly less degree "killing" (again, I use this term in a non-technical way) the yeast, fungus and mould. To be technical, killing a cancer cell probably is accomplished by killing the bacteria or mould in the cancer cell, but this is a technicality I will not get into here.
Understanding What A Cancer Diet Is
With regards to a cancer treatment, every food that we eat or drink can be categorized into several different categories:
Foods that feed and strengthen the cancer cells (e.g. refined sugar, refined flour, soda pop, etc.)
Foods that cause cancer (e.g. trans fatty acids [margarine, french fries and virtually every other processed food you buy], aspartame [Diet Coke, NutraSweet, Equal, etc.], MSG, polyunsaturated oils [e.g. corn oil], etc.)
Foods that directly interfere with alternative treatments for cancer (e.g. chlorine, fluoride, alcohol, coffee, etc.)
Foods that occupy and distract the immunity system from focusing on killing the cancer cells (e.g. beef, turkey, dairy products, etc.)
Foods that contain nutrients that kill the cancer cells, stop the spread of cancer, or in some other way help treat the cancer (e.g. purple grapes with seeds and skin, red raspberries with seeds, strawberries with seeds, broccoli, cauliflower, several herbs, carrots, pineapples, almonds, etc.)
In addition there are things like cooking vegetables. The cooking destroys the enzymes in the vegetables and make them far less digestible and far less effective in treating cancer. Pasteurizing fruit drinks also does this.
Ideally, during a cancer treatment, if foods are allowed on a particular diet, 100% of everything you eat should be in the category of "Foods that contain nutrients that kill the cancer cells, stop the spread of cancer, or in some other way help treat the cancer." Whenever you eat a food that is not in that category, you are interfering with your cancer treatment! This is why so many cancer diets are very high in certain raw vegetables and certain raw fruits.
Juicing of certain raw vegetables and raw fruits is also good in some cases (but not all cases, especially when the seeds are important) because the vegetables and fruits are more easily digested (translation: more nutrients get to the cancer cells). However, when you juice you throw away a lot of nutrients.
Some cancer treatments are virtually 100% raw vegetables and raw fruits. Thus, by living on a diet of foods and drinks known to be harmful to cancer cells and the spreading of the cancer, by combining this diet with one or more cancer treatments (e.g. Essiac Tea), you are supercharging the treatment, and just as importantly, not interfering with the treatment.
But also understand that not all vegetables and fruits are equal at treating cancer. Some vegetables do not contribute significantly to treating cancer and some fruits do not contribute significantly to treating cancer (at least not that we know of at the current time). On the other hand, some vegetables are very potent cancer killers, as are some fruits.
This concept is so important I am going to say it another way. Several of the publicized alternative cancer treatments include a vegan diet, meaning animal products are excluded and vegetables and fruits are eaten raw, when possible. However, a vegan diet is not a good cancer diet. These vegan diets should be converted to a "raw food" diet, meaning, as defined on this web site, a vegan diet that is predominantly vegetables and fruits that are known to treat cancer!
The Cancer Diet For Most Cancer Treatment Plans
Unless the cancer treatment you are on has a spcial diet, this is the cancer diet you should be on. However, I should add that the cancer diets of old cancer treatments are frequently obsolete and not as good as the current cancer diets which are based on a far better understanding of what is going on in your body. For example, if you are on Binzel laetrile program, you should carefully consider any differences between this diet and his diet.
Chlorine
As I mention in the warnings section of the tutorial in more detail, avoid all chlorine in your diet. This includes avoiding foods made with tap water. Chlorine destroys many phytonutrients and other nutrients, thus the damage done to the food during processing, if chlorine is used, is permanent and cannot be reversed. This means, for example, not drinking soda pop or any other drinks that have been made by mixing tap water with something else.
Sweeteners, the Bad and the Good
ALL man-made sweeteners (e.g. aspartame - NutraSweet, Equal) and fat substitutes should also be avoided. These items are most often associated with brain cancer, but everyone should avoid them. This is a second reason all soda pops are out of the question. Soda pops are also acidic, which is a third reason.
There are only two acceptable sweeteners in a cancer diet. First, is honey, the darker the better. Second, is Stevia, which is a herb.
Sugar and Refined Grains
You should absolutely avoid eating refined sugar and refined grains and anything else refined. These things not only feed the fungus and yeast in your body, they also feed the cancer cells. The yeast in flour makes things even worse. Do not eat anything where yeast, fungus or mould is used, added or is a part of.
In addition, refined sugar and other simple sugars also interfere with your immunity system. These substances also interfere with getting Vitamin C and oxygen into the cancer cells. Sugar also depletes the body of key minerals and other nutrients because of its acidity. It is not the acidity that directly destroys the minerals, the acidity causes the body to use the minerals to regulate the pH level in the body. The same is true of all acidic foods.
The chain reaction caused in the body by acidic foods (due to the body's attempts to keep the blood at a level pH) is the cause, or a major contributing factor, to almost all chronic diseases, including cancer. It would take an entire book to describe how the body keeps its pH normal, and the ramifications of these processes. In fact that is the main theme of Dr. Young's book mentioned above.
Salt, the Good and the Bad
Refined salt may be a major cause of cancer. Refined salt causes red blood cells to stick together (called: rouleau), causing them to absorb less oxygen. The clumped together red blood cells do not get as much oxygen into the cells of the body. Also, the clumped together red blood cells cannot pass through the smaller arteries, meaning much less (if any) oxygen gets to cells in these areas of the body, and some of these cells may be turned to anaerobic (i.e. cancerous). As if that weren't bad enough, once the cells are cancerous, the oxygen still can't get to the cancer cells to slow down their spreading or kill them.
On the other hand, natural sea salt is good for cancer patients:
"Salts obtained from solar evaporation of sea water are entirely different from modern refined salt. The plural "salts´ is deliberately used here, because sea water salts are actually a complex blend of trace minerals, as well as calcium and magnesium salts. This complex blend is essential to life, as Quinton´s research demonstrated. Table salt today is primarily kiln-dried sodium chloride with anti-caking agents added. Trace minerals, as well as calcium, magnesium and potassium salts are removed in processing. Kiln-drying involves scorching salt at high heat to remove moisture. This refining process creates a product that is unnatural and hard on the body. It is the true culprit that contributes to high blood pressure, heart trouble, kidney disease and eczema, among other problems — not the complex blend of life-supportive minerals known as sea salt."http://www.macrobiotic.org/thalass.htm
About whole grains
Whole grains can be used only when a cancer patient is fighting weight loss. If the weight loss is uncontrolled, they should consider a cachexia treatment plan, based on Hydrazine Sulphate (see the sample treatment plans). Yeast, which every cancer patient has throughout their body, converts complex carbohydrates into simple carbohydrates, so even whole grains should be avoided when possible. In any case, avoid commercially stored grains.
Another reason to avoid even whole grains is that over the decades the soil has become acidic and because of the soil many whole grains have more fungus than they did many decades ago. Corn and rice (because of the way it is stored) are grains that should be avoided.
Remember from above that NO flour (using yeast) can be used in a cancer diet, not even if whole grains are used!
Honey
If sugar is bad for people with cancer, how about honey, another simple sugar? The jury is still out on honey, but based on the evidence it seems honey is a positive thing to take if you have cancer. The bad news is that its simple sugars, fructose (38 percent) and glucose (31 percent) feed cancer cells. The good news is that honey contains powerful phenolic antioxidants. It may be that honey is as good as grape juice at getting cancer killing substances into the cancer cells (i.e. the sugars are a transport agent to get the antioxidants into the cancer cells). However, the exact quality and quantity of the antioxidants in honey, in treating cancer, is unknown. Honey also builds the immunity system. Bee pollen is a well-known cancer treatment, which fact adds credibility to using honey.
One thing that is known about honey is that the darker the honey the better, as far as antioxidants are concerned. So for now, honey should be considered an acceptable food for those with cancer, particularly the darker varieties. Of course, there are exceptions. Some treatment plans, such as the Breuss diet, do not work if there are excess sugars in the diet, even if the sugars are transport agents for antioxidants.
Bad Fats and Oils
Other foods you should absolutely avoid are trans fats, meaning trans fatty acids or partially hydrogenated oils. Trans fatty acids may be one of the major causes of cancer. They become part of the cell's wall (replacing cholesterol) and make the cell wall rigid and can make the cell anaerobic (i.e. the first step to becoming cancerous) because large oxygen clusters cannot get into the cells.
Like refined salt, these fats also destroy the electrical charge of red blood cells, causing them to "stick" together. When this happens, among other things, the red blood cells do not get to many cancer cells, meaning the cancer cells get far less oxygen (if any), meaning they thrive because they are anaerobic.
Another bad food for cancer patients is polyunsaturated oils: "polyunsaturated oils (corn oils sold in supermarkets everywhere) promote the growth of small blood vessels (by promoting the production of "bad" prostaglandins)." This is bad for cancer because it allows tumors to grow new blood vessels. However, these small blood vessels are good for preventing strokes. Thus, while on a cancer diet avoid polyunsaturated oils.
In short, avoid all heated oils.
Meat, Fish, Fowl, Eggs, Dairy Products
All meat, all fish and all turkey and chicken should be avoided during a cancer treatment. There are many reasons for these restrictions. The only exception is that if a person is fighting weight loss, some fresh, freshwater fish can be eaten if that is the ONLY thing the cancer patient will eat (e.g. they won't eat beans or other legumes).
Avoid all dairy products, including all cheeses and all malts, except cottage cheese when used in the Budwig Diet. One exception is that pregnant and nursing women should eat two eggs per day because the choline is necessary for the baby's brain development and this takes precedence because eggs are not terribly bad for a cancer patient.
Meat is so bad for a cancer diet, I have a separate article on meats: Click Here
The Rule of Thumb is this: "if it came from an animal, it is forbidden!"
Fruits
The only fruits that are allowed on this diet, without restrictions, are the following: lime, lemon, grapefruit, avocados, red, black or purple grapes, fresh pineapples and the berries (e.g. strawberries, blueberries, etc.). Apples are both good and bad, depending on several factors, so they should generally not be taken. However, fresh apple juice (that you make yourself) is good for a cancer diet. Other fruits, except oranges and tangerines, can be taken, but should be taken in small quantities.
Fresh apple juice and fresh pineapple juice are frequently used to help the taste of vegetable juices.
Here are some of the fruits known to kill cancer cells (and any fruit highly related to these):
Raw pineapple (bromelain and pexoxidase),
Whole purple grapes with seeds and skins (more than a dozen, see grape cure section),
Apricot seeds (laetrile),
Strawberries, red raspberies, black raspberries (laetrile and ellagic acid),
Blueberries (ellagic acid, anthrocyanins, OPC),
(Fresh, unsweetened) lemon juice, lime juice or grapefruit juice (because of the oxygen from citric acid).
Vegetables and Nuts
In general, all nuts (except cashews) and vegetables are allowed on a cancer diet. However, some nuts and some vegetables are potent cancer-fighting foods!! This means a cancer diet should be strongly biased in favor of the fruits and vegetables that are known to kill cancer cells or build the immunity system quickly.
In general, for a cancer patient, the dark green, red, and yellow/orange vegetables are best. Carrots and beets are probably the two best vegetables for fighting cancer.
Here are some of the vegetables and nuts known to kill cancer cells (and any food highly related to these):
Raw Carrots (alpha carotene, beta carotene, Vitamin E, etc.),
Raw Broccoli (sulforaphanes/isothiocyanate),
Raw cabbage (isothiocyanates),
Green Asparagus (saponins),
Beetroot (proanthocyanidins (PAC's or OPC's)).
Almonds,
Macadamia nuts.
At least 80% of all fruits, nuts and vegetables taken during a cancer diet should come from the above lists, or be closely related to these items!! See the Raw Food article for more information on vegetables, nuts and fruits: Click Here
The Superfoods
By a very wide margin, the best foods in the world are wheatgrass juice, barley juice, parsley juice, chlorella and spirulina. Only a small number of vegetables can even come close to these superfoods. However, most people are not going to sprout grass. Thus, many vendors make a variety of qualities of parsley powder, barley powder or powder made from a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, and grasses. Hopefully you will pick the high quality products. Such foods are absolutely required for a cancer treatment, mostly due to chlorophyll, but for other reasons as well.
As with all juices, if you make the juice from the actual foods, the juice should be taken immediately after they are prepared. In cases where many small doses of a fresh vegetable juice are needed to be taken (e.g. to avoid diarrhea), the juice can be refrigerated during the day.
Sprouts also fall in the category of superfoods, though a person must be warned that toxic and dangerous bacteria can accumulate in sprouts, even in organic sprouts purchased at a health food store.
Of special mention is chlorella, along with its side-kick spirulina. Chlorella is a SUPERB anti-cancer and anti-tumor food. It works against cancer in many different ways. It also treats the liver. Spirulina also has anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties, but also contains a large concentration of proteins which can help a cancer patient keep from losing weight and it contains the critical nutrients: Vitamin B12, omega 3 and omega 6 (GLA).
Legumes
Legumes, except peanuts, are allowed to be eaten by cancer patients. Except when a cancer patient is on a liquid diet (e.g. vegetable juices only) or is fasting, a cancer patient should eat some legumes, such as beans. This is because of the vegetable proteins in legumes. Legumes can also be used when a cancer patient needs to maintain their weight. They provide not only the vegetable proteins but the calories.
Herbs and Spices
All herbs and spices are acceptable, except black pepper. Several herbs, such as Sheep Sorrel and Black Walnut, are known to be strong anti-cancer foods. Turmeric, which contains curcumin, is a spice that is a potent anti-cancer food. More is said about these substances in the individual treatment articles.
Soy Products
To put is mildly, soy products are a highly controversial issue among alternative health experts. Some experts love some soy products, and others hate all soy products (and that is also putting it mildly). It is up to your own judgment on this issue. Let me quote from Dr. Young's book:
"The diet can include fresh soy sprouts, organic soybeans, fresh tofu, soy oil, and lecithin (a by-product of soy). Try to find organically grown beans and soy products. While the sprouts are recommended without reservation, processed soybean, especially tofu, comes with some cautions..."Sick and Tired? Reclaim Your Inner Terrain, Robert O. Young, page 97
Water and exercise
Every cancer patient should drink as much natural water (i.e. natural spring water or natural artesian water, processed with ozone) as they can, up to a gallon a day. The many benefits of water are beyond the scope of this article, but rest assured it is important.
Also, a cancer patient should get as much exercise as reasonable. Exercise pumps the lymph system and helps get toxins out of the body. Even if a person can do no more than lift 3 pound weights for 10 minutes while sitting in a chair, it will help.
Junk Foods and Other Comments
Basically, any processed food that contains sugar, refined salt, aspartame, MSG, trans-fatty acids, etc. etc. should be avoided. Even the cooking of food kills critical enzymes needed for digestion.
While it is true that cooking does release some vitamins, by a very wide margin, overall it is better to eat food raw, if it can be safely eaten raw.
Need I even mention stopping smoking (no matter what kind of cancer you have), because smoking puts more than 100 carcinogens in your body. Tobacco is also very high in sugar, fungi and yeasts. Part of this is due to they way tobacco leaves are processed.
Need I even mention stopping drinking alcohol (which is a "primary mycotoxin"), which interferes with ALL treatment plans.
Need I even mention caffeine (except when it is used as an enema), because caffeine restricts the blood vessels, meaning less oxygen gets to the cancer cells.
Some Special Listed Foods
Peanuts are perhaps the number one food that should be avoided because they are so high in fungus. Foods that have little resistance to invaders, when they are growing, are frequently high in fungus.
Corn, rice (because of the way it is stored) and potatos, and any foods with corn, rice or potatoes, should be avoided, also because of fungus.
Cashews are another food high in fungus.
Avoid processed apple juice for reasons beyond the scope of this article.
Avoid oranges, tangerines, and dried fruits, for a variety of reasons.
Do not microwave any foods during a cancer diet.
Do not take any condiments, such as black pepper.
Final Comments on Foods
Because there are so many foods that are prohibited, and because most cancer patients have eaten these forbidden foods all their life, a cancer diet can be a real shock.
What I would suggest is to carefully go down and isolate the foods a cancer patient is allowed to eat, which are foods he or she does like. This list essentially becomes their cancer diet.
However, this list should be broken down into two groups. The first list should be the foods on this list that are known cancer-killer foods, such as blueberries. At least 80% of the foods a cancer patient eats should come from this list. The rest of the foods (the second list) can be consumed 20% of the time.
Finally, except when a cancer patient is on a juice only portion of a diet, or is fasting, the vegetable protein the cancer patient is getting should be monitored. For this reason the 80%-20% rule can be overruled by the need to eat vegetable proteins, especially from legumes (except peanuts) and spirulina.
The Liver
According to Dr. Max Gerson, and others, even before the symptoms of cancer appear, the liver is damaged. As the cancer progresses, the damage to the liver also progresses.
The liver is the major organ in the body which deals with toxins. A person on an alternative cancer treatment releases a lot of toxins into the blood stream which end up in the liver. Because of this, the liver must be "detoxified" or "cleansed."
There are some alternative treatments that contain liver detoxification elements in the treatment itself. The grape cure, Essiac Tea, barleygreens, and others, cleanse the liver along with the treatment.
There are also a slew of herbs which "stimulate" or "detoxify" the liver. At the head of this class, as far as I know, is the herb "Milk Thistle."
Several alternative cancer treatments specifically deal with the liver by using enemas. Coffee enemas are by far the most common and are part of the Kelley metabolic plan, the Gerson diet, the Hulda Clark treatment, and others. "[Coffee enemas are] said to open the bile duct of the liver so that it quickly sends material into the colon for elimination." Occasionally, lemon enemas are also used.
The bottom line is that in designing a treatment plan, the care of cleaning the liver is critical. If the toxins in the liver build up and are not removed, it can cause the death of the liver, which means the death of the patient.
"The liver (among its many other functions) is the major organ of detoxification. Anything we can do to ease our toxic burden makes the liver´s job easier — including eating less, drinking more water, reducing our intake of toxins, exercising more, eating more fibre, and so on. There are also a number of herbs that help the liver with its detoxification tasks. These include dandelion root, yellow dock, burdock, chickweed and barberry — which are more effective when taken in combination than singly."http://www.mysticalwildes.builderspot.com/page/page/1026287.htm
Another thing that will ease the burden on the liver is the lymph system. The lymph system also helps remove toxins from the blood, but the lymph system does not have a "pump," such as the circulatory system has (the "pump" of the circulatory system is the heart). The lymph system is only pumped by exercise.
"Like the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is made up of channels or vessels, valves and filters (nodes). Unlike the bloodstream system, however, there is no pump like the heart. Instead, the lymphatic fluid is forced through the system by the action of the muscles and breathing."http://www.cbass.com/lymph.htm
The lymphatic system is critical to the immunity system, to the treatment of cancer and to taking a burden off of the liver. Many cancer patients, for a variety of reasons, are in no condition to go for long walks, jog, or do other types of exercise. However, the good news is that the arm muscles are just as good, and perhaps better, at pumping the lymphatic system as are the legs. Thus, lifting hand weights can accomplish much in helping the lymphatic system.
However, prior to cleansing the liver of toxins, the colon must be cleansed so that the toxins can be dumped into the colon!! This means that at the beginning of any alternative cancer treatment, there must be a colon cleanse.
"It is important to make sure that the colon is in good shape before stimulating the healing of the liver. If toxins cannot be excreted, the liver may store them, causing harm."http://immunedisorders.homestead.com/Detoxification.html

Lesson 2: The Cancer Diet For Most Treatment Plans
The Concept of a Cancer Diet
I remember reading the detailed diary of a person who was trying to cure his own cancer with alternative treatments. I was puzzled why his treatments weren't working until I came across an entry several months into his treatment plan. He basically stated (after several months of alternative treatments): "I decided to stop smoking." What is wrong with this picture? What is wrong is that he thought he could treat his own cancer by popping pills. There is far more to fighting cancer with alternative treatments than popping pills.
Understand this carefully, taking any alternative cancer treatment is like putting gasoline in your car - you are on your way to killing cancer cells, etc. But having a bad diet, while you are on a cancer treatment, is like putting water in that same gasoline tank!!
As mentioned in my article "Introduction to Alternative Cancer Treatments," many people have cured their cancer using nothing but a massive change in their diet!! And I will add now that a bad diet during a cancer treatment has destroyed many alternative cancer treatments!! Something as simple as adding refined salt to your foods may destroy an entire cancer treatment!!
Hear this: THE CANCER DIET IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE CANCER TREATMENT. IF THE CANCER DIET IS NOT, IN AND OF ITSELF, TREATING THE CANCER, THEN IT IS INTERFERING WITH THE CANCER TREATMENT!!!
Another thing that must be understood is that the logic a person must use on a cancer treatment diet is different than the logic they are accustomed to using in dealing with orthodox medicine. Let me give you an example:
When taking orthodox drugs, you might encounter something like this:Step 1: Take the yellow and green pills.Step 2: Do not drink alcohol or tea after taking the pills.
What about the foods and drinks not specifically mentioned in Step 1 and Step 2? With orthodox medicine you are free to eat anything not prohibited.
But with alternative cancer treatments just the opposite is true. For example, let us consider a simplified Brandt Grape Cure diet:Step 1: Grape Juice and natural water.Step 2: Do not ingest any chlorine.
In this case, you are FORBIDDEN to eat any food that is not in Step 1, even though it is not listed in Step 2. Understand this: with alternative treatments for cancer, what you don't eat is just as important as what you are allowed to eat.
Most people who get cancer get it because of the things they have eaten!! The wrong foods created an internal terrain which allowed the body to be filled with fungus (e.g. tobacco leaves are filled with fungus, as are peanuts, to name but two of many such substances commonly consumed), such that when a carcinogenic substance reacted with the body, the internal terrain could not deal with the carcinogenic substance and the person got cancer. Thus, by default, if you want to reverse your cancer, you must reverse your diet to create a strong inner terrain.
A cancer diet severely restricts what you can eat. By default, if it is not specifically allowed to be eaten in the treatment plan, don't eat it!! The Step 2 items are simply the most damaging things to the diet.
Another key fact is that many people crave certain foods. This may be because of habit or it may be because of a food allergy. People crave foods they are allergic to. I have known this fact for 30 years. Thus, switching from the diet that caused your cancer to a diet that is needed to cure your cancer may involve the stopping of eating foods the person is allergic to (i.e. they crave). This compounds the problem and means even more effort is needed to stick to the diet.
Not All Cancer Diets are the Same
Another thing that must be understood is that for some cancer treatments there are special diets. In other words, not all cancer diets are the same.
For example, in the "InnerLight" cancer treatment of Robert O. Young, PhD, all fruits are forbidden. They are forbidden for good reason in his diet! His diet is designed to balance the pH in the blood and "remove" (I use that term in a non-technical way in this case) yeast and fungus (Y/F) from the body! Like a few other cancer treatments, his treatment converts cancer cells into normal cells.
But in other cancer treatments fruits are not only allowed, they are an integral part of the treatment. Why? Because some cancer diets are designed to kill cancer cells, and some fruits contain massive amounts of cancer-killing nutrients and the glucose in these fruits "carries" the cancer-killing nutrients into the cancer cells, which gobble up glucose and steal it from normal cells. This means they also steal the cancer-killing nutrients from normal cells. This can lead to cancer cell death.
Thus, this web page must first determine which theory of treating cancer is being used. In this web page, the straightforward theory of killing-cancer cells is used. The reason is that most of the people reading this page have been through chemotherapy and radiation, and this appears to me to be the best approach.
If you want to use the "InnerLight" diet, that is fine, but you must read the book: Sick and Tired? - Reclaim Your Inner Terrain and use the exact diet Dr. Young tells you. Ditto for the Gerson diet, the Kelley Metabolic diet, the Moerman diet (though his book is out of print so I have reproduced his diet on another web page), and so on.
The diet in this page will keep in mind, at all times, the fact that every cancer patient has a body full of fungus, yeast and mould, but its focus will only partially be on treating this problem. In fact, many cases of severe fungi infection have been misdiagnosed as leukemia. Also, some "tumors" are actually nothing but a growth of fungus.
Cancer and fungus, yeast and mould (f/y/m) are close "cousins." All are anaerobic (i.e. they exist by fermenting glucose). The treatments for cancer and the treatments for f/y/m are many times the same. The relationship between f/y/m is not fully known yet, but it clearly appears that there is a direct connection!! See Dr. Young's book for more information, as well as my article on the same topic: Click Here
The main goal of this web page will be on killing cancer cells quickly, and to a slightly less degree "killing" (again, I use this term in a non-technical way) the yeast, fungus and mould. To be technical, killing a cancer cell probably is accomplished by killing the bacteria or mould in the cancer cell, but this is a technicality I will not get into here.
Understanding What A Cancer Diet Is
With regards to a cancer treatment, every food that we eat or drink can be categorized into several different categories:
Foods that feed and strengthen the cancer cells (e.g. refined sugar, refined flour, soda pop, etc.)
Foods that cause cancer (e.g. trans fatty acids [margarine, french fries and virtually every other processed food you buy], aspartame [Diet Coke, NutraSweet, Equal, etc.], MSG, polyunsaturated oils [e.g. corn oil], etc.)
Foods that directly interfere with alternative treatments for cancer (e.g. chlorine, fluoride, alcohol, coffee, etc.)
Foods that occupy and distract the immunity system from focusing on killing the cancer cells (e.g. beef, turkey, dairy products, etc.)
Foods that contain nutrients that kill the cancer cells, stop the spread of cancer, or in some other way help treat the cancer (e.g. purple grapes with seeds and skin, red raspberries with seeds, strawberries with seeds, broccoli, cauliflower, several herbs, carrots, pineapples, almonds, etc.)
In addition there are things like cooking vegetables. The cooking destroys the enzymes in the vegetables and make them far less digestible and far less effective in treating cancer. Pasteurizing fruit drinks also does this.
Ideally, during a cancer treatment, if foods are allowed on a particular diet, 100% of everything you eat should be in the category of "Foods that contain nutrients that kill the cancer cells, stop the spread of cancer, or in some other way help treat the cancer." Whenever you eat a food that is not in that category, you are interfering with your cancer treatment! This is why so many cancer diets are very high in certain raw vegetables and certain raw fruits.
Juicing of certain raw vegetables and raw fruits is also good in some cases (but not all cases, especially when the seeds are important) because the vegetables and fruits are more easily digested (translation: more nutrients get to the cancer cells). However, when you juice you throw away a lot of nutrients.
Some cancer treatments are virtually 100% raw vegetables and raw fruits. Thus, by living on a diet of foods and drinks known to be harmful to cancer cells and the spreading of the cancer, by combining this diet with one or more cancer treatments (e.g. Essiac Tea), you are supercharging the treatment, and just as importantly, not interfering with the treatment.
But also understand that not all vegetables and fruits are equal at treating cancer. Some vegetables do not contribute significantly to treating cancer and some fruits do not contribute significantly to treating cancer (at least not that we know of at the current time). On the other hand, some vegetables are very potent cancer killers, as are some fruits.
This concept is so important I am going to say it another way. Several of the publicized alternative cancer treatments include a vegan diet, meaning animal products are excluded and vegetables and fruits are eaten raw, when possible. However, a vegan diet is not a good cancer diet. These vegan diets should be converted to a "raw food" diet, meaning, as defined on this web site, a vegan diet that is predominantly vegetables and fruits that are known to treat cancer!
The Cancer Diet For Most Cancer Treatment Plans
Unless the cancer treatment you are on has a spcial diet, this is the cancer diet you should be on. However, I should add that the cancer diets of old cancer treatments are frequently obsolete and not as good as the current cancer diets which are based on a far better understanding of what is going on in your body. For example, if you are on Binzel laetrile program, you should carefully consider any differences between this diet and his diet.
Chlorine
As I mention in the warnings section of the tutorial in more detail, avoid all chlorine in your diet. This includes avoiding foods made with tap water. Chlorine destroys many phytonutrients and other nutrients, thus the damage done to the food during processing, if chlorine is used, is permanent and cannot be reversed. This means, for example, not drinking soda pop or any other drinks that have been made by mixing tap water with something else.
Sweeteners, the Bad and the Good
ALL man-made sweeteners (e.g. aspartame - NutraSweet, Equal) and fat substitutes should also be avoided. These items are most often associated with brain cancer, but everyone should avoid them. This is a second reason all soda pops are out of the question. Soda pops are also acidic, which is a third reason.
There are only two acceptable sweeteners in a cancer diet. First, is honey, the darker the better. Second, is Stevia, which is a herb.
Sugar and Refined Grains
You should absolutely avoid eating refined sugar and refined grains and anything else refined. These things not only feed the fungus and yeast in your body, they also feed the cancer cells. The yeast in flour makes things even worse. Do not eat anything where yeast, fungus or mould is used, added or is a part of.
In addition, refined sugar and other simple sugars also interfere with your immunity system. These substances also interfere with getting Vitamin C and oxygen into the cancer cells. Sugar also depletes the body of key minerals and other nutrients because of its acidity. It is not the acidity that directly destroys the minerals, the acidity causes the body to use the minerals to regulate the pH level in the body. The same is true of all acidic foods.
The chain reaction caused in the body by acidic foods (due to the body's attempts to keep the blood at a level pH) is the cause, or a major contributing factor, to almost all chronic diseases, including cancer. It would take an entire book to describe how the body keeps its pH normal, and the ramifications of these processes. In fact that is the main theme of Dr. Young's book mentioned above.
Salt, the Good and the Bad
Refined salt may be a major cause of cancer. Refined salt causes red blood cells to stick together (called: rouleau), causing them to absorb less oxygen. The clumped together red blood cells do not get as much oxygen into the cells of the body. Also, the clumped together red blood cells cannot pass through the smaller arteries, meaning much less (if any) oxygen gets to cells in these areas of the body, and some of these cells may be turned to anaerobic (i.e. cancerous). As if that weren't bad enough, once the cells are cancerous, the oxygen still can't get to the cancer cells to slow down their spreading or kill them.
On the other hand, natural sea salt is good for cancer patients:
"Salts obtained from solar evaporation of sea water are entirely different from modern refined salt. The plural "salts´ is deliberately used here, because sea water salts are actually a complex blend of trace minerals, as well as calcium and magnesium salts. This complex blend is essential to life, as Quinton´s research demonstrated. Table salt today is primarily kiln-dried sodium chloride with anti-caking agents added. Trace minerals, as well as calcium, magnesium and potassium salts are removed in processing. Kiln-drying involves scorching salt at high heat to remove moisture. This refining process creates a product that is unnatural and hard on the body. It is the true culprit that contributes to high blood pressure, heart trouble, kidney disease and eczema, among other problems — not the complex blend of life-supportive minerals known as sea salt."http://www.macrobiotic.org/thalass.htm
About whole grains
Whole grains can be used only when a cancer patient is fighting weight loss. If the weight loss is uncontrolled, they should consider a cachexia treatment plan, based on Hydrazine Sulphate (see the sample treatment plans). Yeast, which every cancer patient has throughout their body, converts complex carbohydrates into simple carbohydrates, so even whole grains should be avoided when possible. In any case, avoid commercially stored grains.
Another reason to avoid even whole grains is that over the decades the soil has become acidic and because of the soil many whole grains have more fungus than they did many decades ago. Corn and rice (because of the way it is stored) are grains that should be avoided.
Remember from above that NO flour (using yeast) can be used in a cancer diet, not even if whole grains are used!
Honey
If sugar is bad for people with cancer, how about honey, another simple sugar? The jury is still out on honey, but based on the evidence it seems honey is a positive thing to take if you have cancer. The bad news is that its simple sugars, fructose (38 percent) and glucose (31 percent) feed cancer cells. The good news is that honey contains powerful phenolic antioxidants. It may be that honey is as good as grape juice at getting cancer killing substances into the cancer cells (i.e. the sugars are a transport agent to get the antioxidants into the cancer cells). However, the exact quality and quantity of the antioxidants in honey, in treating cancer, is unknown. Honey also builds the immunity system. Bee pollen is a well-known cancer treatment, which fact adds credibility to using honey.
One thing that is known about honey is that the darker the honey the better, as far as antioxidants are concerned. So for now, honey should be considered an acceptable food for those with cancer, particularly the darker varieties. Of course, there are exceptions. Some treatment plans, such as the Breuss diet, do not work if there are excess sugars in the diet, even if the sugars are transport agents for antioxidants.
Bad Fats and Oils
Other foods you should absolutely avoid are trans fats, meaning trans fatty acids or partially hydrogenated oils. Trans fatty acids may be one of the major causes of cancer. They become part of the cell's wall (replacing cholesterol) and make the cell wall rigid and can make the cell anaerobic (i.e. the first step to becoming cancerous) because large oxygen clusters cannot get into the cells.
Like refined salt, these fats also destroy the electrical charge of red blood cells, causing them to "stick" together. When this happens, among other things, the red blood cells do not get to many cancer cells, meaning the cancer cells get far less oxygen (if any), meaning they thrive because they are anaerobic.
Another bad food for cancer patients is polyunsaturated oils: "polyunsaturated oils (corn oils sold in supermarkets everywhere) promote the growth of small blood vessels (by promoting the production of "bad" prostaglandins)." This is bad for cancer because it allows tumors to grow new blood vessels. However, these small blood vessels are good for preventing strokes. Thus, while on a cancer diet avoid polyunsaturated oils.
In short, avoid all heated oils.
Meat, Fish, Fowl, Eggs, Dairy Products
All meat, all fish and all turkey and chicken should be avoided during a cancer treatment. There are many reasons for these restrictions. The only exception is that if a person is fighting weight loss, some fresh, freshwater fish can be eaten if that is the ONLY thing the cancer patient will eat (e.g. they won't eat beans or other legumes).
Avoid all dairy products, including all cheeses and all malts, except cottage cheese when used in the Budwig Diet. One exception is that pregnant and nursing women should eat two eggs per day because the choline is necessary for the baby's brain development and this takes precedence because eggs are not terribly bad for a cancer patient.
Meat is so bad for a cancer diet, I have a separate article on meats: Click Here
The Rule of Thumb is this: "if it came from an animal, it is forbidden!"
Fruits
The only fruits that are allowed on this diet, without restrictions, are the following: lime, lemon, grapefruit, avocados, red, black or purple grapes, fresh pineapples and the berries (e.g. strawberries, blueberries, etc.). Apples are both good and bad, depending on several factors, so they should generally not be taken. However, fresh apple juice (that you make yourself) is good for a cancer diet. Other fruits, except oranges and tangerines, can be taken, but should be taken in small quantities.
Fresh apple juice and fresh pineapple juice are frequently used to help the taste of vegetable juices.
Here are some of the fruits known to kill cancer cells (and any fruit highly related to these):
Raw pineapple (bromelain and pexoxidase),
Whole purple grapes with seeds and skins (more than a dozen, see grape cure section),
Apricot seeds (laetrile),
Strawberries, red raspberies, black raspberries (laetrile and ellagic acid),
Blueberries (ellagic acid, anthrocyanins, OPC),
(Fresh, unsweetened) lemon juice, lime juice or grapefruit juice (because of the oxygen from citric acid).
Vegetables and Nuts
In general, all nuts (except cashews) and vegetables are allowed on a cancer diet. However, some nuts and some vegetables are potent cancer-fighting foods!! This means a cancer diet should be strongly biased in favor of the fruits and vegetables that are known to kill cancer cells or build the immunity system quickly.
In general, for a cancer patient, the dark green, red, and yellow/orange vegetables are best. Carrots and beets are probably the two best vegetables for fighting cancer.
Here are some of the vegetables and nuts known to kill cancer cells (and any food highly related to these):
Raw Carrots (alpha carotene, beta carotene, Vitamin E, etc.),
Raw Broccoli (sulforaphanes/isothiocyanate),
Raw cabbage (isothiocyanates),
Green Asparagus (saponins),
Beetroot (proanthocyanidins (PAC's or OPC's)).
Almonds,
Macadamia nuts.
At least 80% of all fruits, nuts and vegetables taken during a cancer diet should come from the above lists, or be closely related to these items!! See the Raw Food article for more information on vegetables, nuts and fruits: Click Here
The Superfoods
By a very wide margin, the best foods in the world are wheatgrass juice, barley juice, parsley juice, chlorella and spirulina. Only a small number of vegetables can even come close to these superfoods. However, most people are not going to sprout grass. Thus, many vendors make a variety of qualities of parsley powder, barley powder or powder made from a wide variety of vegetables, herbs, and grasses. Hopefully you will pick the high quality products. Such foods are absolutely required for a cancer treatment, mostly due to chlorophyll, but for other reasons as well.
As with all juices, if you make the juice from the actual foods, the juice should be taken immediately after they are prepared. In cases where many small doses of a fresh vegetable juice are needed to be taken (e.g. to avoid diarrhea), the juice can be refrigerated during the day.
Sprouts also fall in the category of superfoods, though a person must be warned that toxic and dangerous bacteria can accumulate in sprouts, even in organic sprouts purchased at a health food store.
Of special mention is chlorella, along with its side-kick spirulina. Chlorella is a SUPERB anti-cancer and anti-tumor food. It works against cancer in many different ways. It also treats the liver. Spirulina also has anti-cancer and anti-tumor properties, but also contains a large concentration of proteins which can help a cancer patient keep from losing weight and it contains the critical nutrients: Vitamin B12, omega 3 and omega 6 (GLA).
Legumes
Legumes, except peanuts, are allowed to be eaten by cancer patients. Except when a cancer patient is on a liquid diet (e.g. vegetable juices only) or is fasting, a cancer patient should eat some legumes, such as beans. This is because of the vegetable proteins in legumes. Legumes can also be used when a cancer patient needs to maintain their weight. They provide not only the vegetable proteins but the calories.
Herbs and Spices
All herbs and spices are acceptable, except black pepper. Several herbs, such as Sheep Sorrel and Black Walnut, are known to be strong anti-cancer foods. Turmeric, which contains curcumin, is a spice that is a potent anti-cancer food. More is said about these substances in the individual treatment articles.
Soy Products
To put is mildly, soy products are a highly controversial issue among alternative health experts. Some experts love some soy products, and others hate all soy products (and that is also putting it mildly). It is up to your own judgment on this issue. Let me quote from Dr. Young's book:
"The diet can include fresh soy sprouts, organic soybeans, fresh tofu, soy oil, and lecithin (a by-product of soy). Try to find organically grown beans and soy products. While the sprouts are recommended without reservation, processed soybean, especially tofu, comes with some cautions..."Sick and Tired? Reclaim Your Inner Terrain, Robert O. Young, page 97
Water and exercise
Every cancer patient should drink as much natural water (i.e. natural spring water or natural artesian water, processed with ozone) as they can, up to a gallon a day. The many benefits of water are beyond the scope of this article, but rest assured it is important.
Also, a cancer patient should get as much exercise as reasonable. Exercise pumps the lymph system and helps get toxins out of the body. Even if a person can do no more than lift 3 pound weights for 10 minutes while sitting in a chair, it will help.
Junk Foods and Other Comments
Basically, any processed food that contains sugar, refined salt, aspartame, MSG, trans-fatty acids, etc. etc. should be avoided. Even the cooking of food kills critical enzymes needed for digestion.
While it is true that cooking does release some vitamins, by a very wide margin, overall it is better to eat food raw, if it can be safely eaten raw.
Need I even mention stopping smoking (no matter what kind of cancer you have), because smoking puts more than 100 carcinogens in your body. Tobacco is also very high in sugar, fungi and yeasts. Part of this is due to they way tobacco leaves are processed.
Need I even mention stopping drinking alcohol (which is a "primary mycotoxin"), which interferes with ALL treatment plans.
Need I even mention caffeine (except when it is used as an enema), because caffeine restricts the blood vessels, meaning less oxygen gets to the cancer cells.
Some Special Listed Foods
Peanuts are perhaps the number one food that should be avoided because they are so high in fungus. Foods that have little resistance to invaders, when they are growing, are frequently high in fungus.
Corn, rice (because of the way it is stored) and potatos, and any foods with corn, rice or potatoes, should be avoided, also because of fungus.
Cashews are another food high in fungus.
Avoid processed apple juice for reasons beyond the scope of this article.
Avoid oranges, tangerines, and dried fruits, for a variety of reasons.
Do not microwave any foods during a cancer diet.
Do not take any condiments, such as black pepper.
Final Comments on Foods
Because there are so many foods that are prohibited, and because most cancer patients have eaten these forbidden foods all their life, a cancer diet can be a real shock.
What I would suggest is to carefully go down and isolate the foods a cancer patient is allowed to eat, which are foods he or she does like. This list essentially becomes their cancer diet.
However, this list should be broken down into two groups. The first list should be the foods on this list that are known cancer-killer foods, such as blueberries. At least 80% of the foods a cancer patient eats should come from this list. The rest of the foods (the second list) can be consumed 20% of the time.
Finally, except when a cancer patient is on a juice only portion of a diet, or is fasting, the vegetable protein the cancer patient is getting should be monitored. For this reason the 80%-20% rule can be overruled by the need to eat vegetable proteins, especially from legumes (except peanuts) and spirulina.
The Liver
According to Dr. Max Gerson, and others, even before the symptoms of cancer appear, the liver is damaged. As the cancer progresses, the damage to the liver also progresses.
The liver is the major organ in the body which deals with toxins. A person on an alternative cancer treatment releases a lot of toxins into the blood stream which end up in the liver. Because of this, the liver must be "detoxified" or "cleansed."
There are some alternative treatments that contain liver detoxification elements in the treatment itself. The grape cure, Essiac Tea, barleygreens, and others, cleanse the liver along with the treatment.
There are also a slew of herbs which "stimulate" or "detoxify" the liver. At the head of this class, as far as I know, is the herb "Milk Thistle."
Several alternative cancer treatments specifically deal with the liver by using enemas. Coffee enemas are by far the most common and are part of the Kelley metabolic plan, the Gerson diet, the Hulda Clark treatment, and others. "[Coffee enemas are] said to open the bile duct of the liver so that it quickly sends material into the colon for elimination." Occasionally, lemon enemas are also used.
The bottom line is that in designing a treatment plan, the care of cleaning the liver is critical. If the toxins in the liver build up and are not removed, it can cause the death of the liver, which means the death of the patient.
"The liver (among its many other functions) is the major organ of detoxification. Anything we can do to ease our toxic burden makes the liver´s job easier — including eating less, drinking more water, reducing our intake of toxins, exercising more, eating more fibre, and so on. There are also a number of herbs that help the liver with its detoxification tasks. These include dandelion root, yellow dock, burdock, chickweed and barberry — which are more effective when taken in combination than singly."http://www.mysticalwildes.builderspot.com/page/page/1026287.htm
Another thing that will ease the burden on the liver is the lymph system. The lymph system also helps remove toxins from the blood, but the lymph system does not have a "pump," such as the circulatory system has (the "pump" of the circulatory system is the heart). The lymph system is only pumped by exercise.
"Like the cardiovascular system, the lymphatic system is made up of channels or vessels, valves and filters (nodes). Unlike the bloodstream system, however, there is no pump like the heart. Instead, the lymphatic fluid is forced through the system by the action of the muscles and breathing."http://www.cbass.com/lymph.htm
The lymphatic system is critical to the immunity system, to the treatment of cancer and to taking a burden off of the liver. Many cancer patients, for a variety of reasons, are in no condition to go for long walks, jog, or do other types of exercise. However, the good news is that the arm muscles are just as good, and perhaps better, at pumping the lymphatic system as are the legs. Thus, lifting hand weights can accomplish much in helping the lymphatic system.
However, prior to cleansing the liver of toxins, the colon must be cleansed so that the toxins can be dumped into the colon!! This means that at the beginning of any alternative cancer treatment, there must be a colon cleanse.
"It is important to make sure that the colon is in good shape before stimulating the healing of the liver. If toxins cannot be excreted, the liver may store them, causing harm."http://immunedisorders.homestead.com/Detoxification.html

RECOVERING OZONE STORIES...
Recovery Stories: With having a colon hydrotherapy/nutrition clinic where I use ozone consistently I have seen many amazing recoveries. Starting with my own (prior to going back to school into the profession I am now in) - I was diagnosed in the 90's with CFS, FM, Lupus, MS and eventually breast cancer. I was on 5 prescription drugs to make it through any given day. My prognosis was not good. Though my cancer was stage I and not yet in the lymph nodes - they had told me it was mandatory that I do radiation or chemo. I refused. I heard about ozone.... initially started with intravenous given to me by someone else, and then eventually bought all my own equipment. For the first 2 years I did not have a sauna. I did rectal insufflations daily, drank the water, did vaginal insufflations and I funnelled over the breast every other day. I applied ozonated olive oil to the breast as well. Prior to having the tumor removed (which I don't know that I would do nowadays knowing what I know) I purchased a sauna and directly after surgery I began doing saunas 2 x a day. At first all I could do was 10 min. and I would be so sick. I stuck with it. It is now 4 years later, I have no cancer, I have no FM, CFS, Lupus or MS. I am well. I am off all prescription drugs. In the last two years I have traveled, bought a motorcycle and work consistently with people who are sick, doing something that I believe I was led to because of my own illness. Some of the things I have seen: * A woman who came to me with melanoma cancer on her back. She regularly went to her dermatologist every 6 weeks for removal of these spots. When she left every 6 weeks the doctor mapped out the next area he would remove 6 weeks later, etc. She is a red-haired, freckle faced person who was told that because of her "skin" and "freckles" that she would always have these cancer issues. She had stopped ever going out in the sun. She was approx. 55 years old. She began sauna use 2x a week (as well as colonics), and about 4 weeks later had her scheduled appt. with her dermatologist. He was amazed to find that she had no cancer on her back.... since then she purchased a sauna and has been regularly using it. She has had no recurring cancer. * A man came with a 'sebacious cyst' on his back.... he only wanted to try the sauna because someone told him to. He basically thought he had no problems, but thought it would detox him. After the first session he told me that the cyst was bothering him and he couldn't sleep. He took another sauna. He called me that night and said that the cyst had come to a head, and was extremely painful. He waited a few days, and then came in for another sauna. After that one, the cyst became very very red and swollen - it caused him major pain. He went in to a local doctor and had it lanced - the cyst he found out was filled with pus and bacteria. This cyst was supposedly 'harmless' - he had been told for about 18 years.... * My elderly gentleman who had suffered a car accident and had had a steel plate put in his arm. They were waiting for the area to heal around the stitching, but when he came to me it had not done so. He was miserable, and the first day he walked in off the street he was wearing slippers and an old filthy robe. He had not shaved in I don't know how long and he was to say the least a scary sight. I started to 'bag' his arm daily as well as giving him colonics and rectal insufflations. He also drank a fair amount of ozonated water. Because he had no car I would pick him up a few blocks away and bring him in for treatments.... initially he would grouse at me the whole time and miserably get into my car - not speaking except to complain. After treatments 3x a week for a few weeks I noticed that when I would pick him up he started to come out of his apartment dressed very snappy.... and could I actually see a smile lurking? He started to tell me about his life, and he started to have plans again for his future (at 92). The greatest thing was that all the red infection around the steel plate in his arm disappeared and for the first time in about 4 months he was able to brush his teeth. Eventually the arm healed, and his doctor could never figure out how that happened - lol. The bad news was he had to move away, and also could never get his driving license back :-) * A diabetic woman with a cut on her foot that would not heal. I bagged her leg daily for about 4 days, gave her ozonated olive oil.... and it healed on its own. This woman had to do maintenance treatments - but it was interesting that she had had that cut for about 5 months, and it would not heal - they had had her on 5 different antibiotics. * Recently a lady came to me with an extreme case of eczema that she had had for over 20 years. She had been treated with steroids for years. Her case was so bad that she had recently been hospitalized and was unable at the time I saw her to take another Rx drug -because they made her so sick. She was desperate. She also had picked up a MRSA infection the hospital, which was doing a fair amount of damage on her leg. Immediately we started rectal insufflations, colonics, liver cleanses. We bagged the leg with the MRSA infection and also used ozonated olive oil on it. She received some intravenous ozone treatments. At first her skin was like an elephant's skin - very thick - oozing with open sores. She looked like a leper. After a couple weeks she was MRSA free on the outside of her body and she recently called to tell me that her report from the doctor confirmed it. She has pink, glowing skin and is currently at work, enjoying herlife to the full - prescription drug free. I could go on and on,,,, I have many more stories, but suffice it to say - I have NEVER once seen ozone fail.

Finally it is accepted as self-evident."

INFRARED SAUNA
I love my infrared sauna. There are such great benefits from using an infrared sauna...I bet you are waiting with baited breath for me to elaborate further...okay, I will. IMPROVED CIRCULATION...
The life of the body is in the blood. When you sauna in a Purus Far Infrared Sauna, you are nearly doubling the blood flow throughout your body. You are also bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to each individual organ and each individual cell. The oxygen in this blood, in turn, helps to neutralize the acids that build up in our muscles and cause pain. This increased blood circulation also carries away waste and helps to clean out the arteries and veins. Because of vessel dilation, your Purus Sauna can do this while even lowering your blood pressure. If your blood pressure is already low…no need to worry. Low blood pressure isn’t affected.With this increased blood circulation, you’re removing excess minerals, heavy metals, and toxic substances that may restrict blood
flow. By increasing blood circulation, you are cleaning your veins and arteries. By improving circulation with your Purus Sauna, you can also receive numerous other health benefits:
Normalized cholesterol levels
Enhanced mental alertness
Expanded memory
Pain relief
Improved energy levels

ASHLEY IS OZONATING
Ashley is on day 2 of ozonating...I am hoping it will help her sinus problem. Mary's nasal dripping stopped within a couple of days. So far Ashley has tried the Ayervedic treatment (oils poured into your nose) to help her problem. She was told to give up dairy...(fat chance)...hence the continued drip, drip, drip. Her skin on her feet look better (chronic exzcema/psorisis). I told her to keep a log of her improvements. I am on day 3. The nerve pain in my back is better after hot water packs, advil, and my exercise therapist helping me stretch through it. Boy, it has been a rough week. My head is still so sore from the chain popping me in the frontal lobe, it even has a slight bruise on my forehead. I'm afraid to ask, what next...but I will keep you informed. I'm still using Hulda Clark's weekly regime/herbs of wormwood, clove and green walnut hull extract. I'm not zapping like I should, but I will get my act together soon. I want to start the baking soda/grade b maple syrup regime as well, but it won't be tonight. I've got a mega headache.

MY OZONATOR IS HERE!!!
Okay,
It's finally here!!! My ozonator is here...let me put it this way, it was held in customs for quite some time until I coughed up $$ to get it back. Welcome to the way the world works here. How foolish of me to pay extra $$ to get it delivered quickly. It set there, 30 days in customs. Okay, maybe I can get back on track now. My digital converters are here too. Yeah, now I can have tv in time for my sisters arrival...

MY OZONATOR BROKE...
I'M DEVASTED. MY OZINATOR DIED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. I WAS REALLY DOING WELL WITH THE BODY OZONATING. I AM NOW TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET ONE THAT WORKS WELL IN INDIA. WE HAVE LOST A SMALL COLOR TV, A WII, AND TWO OZONATORS. I PLUGGED MY MOM'S OZONATOR UP, AND IT WENT "POP" AND DIED. MINE WAS DOING OKAY...I NOW UNDERSTAND VOLTAGE, STEP DOWN TRANSFORMERS AND THE DEVASTATION YOU RISK BY PLUGGING ANYTHING YOU VALUE UP, UNPROTECTED. I ALSO NOW UNDERSTAND THAT IN ORDER TO PLAY AN AMERICAN TV IN INDIA AND HOOK IT UP TO THEIR CABLE SYSTEM, THAT YOU HAVE TO USE YOUR PAL/SECAM EQUIPMENT IN A NTSC COUNTRY. BOTTOM LINE, GET A DIGITAL VIDEO CONVERTER...
WHY CAN'T LIFE BE EASY...YEAH, I NEED THAT EASY BUTTON RIGHT NOW.
