Re: Natural therapies for cancer treatment?
Hi Julianne. I have just reread my post and realised how insensitive it was. Please accept my apologies (and to anyone I offended) xx
OK, have some links if you're interested:
For a brief overview of raw food and why it's good -
Raw Food - Purely Raw, Cooking Changes Food
'Prior to 1930, It was believed that whenever we ate, there was an immune system response as if we were poisoned. An immediate rise in white blood cells, by about 300%. White blood cells are our body's soldiers, they are produced to fight off threats, like poison, trauma or disease. This reaction to eating was called Digestive Leukocytosis and thought to be normal.
In 1930, Dr Paul Kouchakoff conducted research to compare the effects of cooked food versus raw food. He discovered that Digestive Leukocytosis occurred only when cooked or processed food was eaten. He found that there is no immune system response when we eat our food in it's natural, unheated, unprocessed state'
Some links of alternative cancer treatments which include high raw food diet:

My sister-in-law's Mum has had cancer for many many years, including bone cancer for nearly 11! She has not had Chemo yet. She makes us laugh by saying 'I just don't think my body is strong enough for Chemo yet... maybe when I'm a bit better'. She had good success with a place here in Perth called 'Balya' run by a GP, Dr Ivy. She went into complete remission everytime she strictly followed Ivy's recommended diet (mostly raw and lots of vegie juice). unfortunately she has a lot of pain in her back now due to the cancer and is on pain meds, which alter her taste buds and appetite such that she just wants to each chocolate, and after so many years fighting, who can blame her.
