How bad is it REALLY?
Q: A dear friend of mine told me about two weeks before Christmas that his wife had cancer and it was stage 4 liver cancer. I know how devisting it is to find out the person you love is going through such a horriable thing so I have not really asked a lot of questions as to not upset him. As I talked with him today he told me a little more information. He said that she has now come off of the chemo because it wasnt working and they were starting experm. treatments next week. He also said she has lost about 35 lbs so far but was moving around more since coming off of chemo. They are going for some kind of test tomorrow but not sure what kind. He has told me something about they treat liver cancer like they do gallbladder cancer or something. I dont know if that might mean its in her galbladder as well of if it is just how they treat it. I have tried to read and research what to expect but can not really find any information. He also said that they can not do surgery so from what I have been able to find it being stage four and her being in alot of pain and losing weight and treatments isnt working it just sounds like she is worse off then what he is telling. I am very concerned for her and her family. They have a son and are both in their mid 30’s. It is a very sad thing and I want to be able to be there for them but in all honesty I dont know how I can seeing as I dont really understand anything about this type of cancer. Please if someone could give me a little help on what to expect in the coming weeks, months, years I would be so greatful. God Bless all who have had to deal with a situation like this. It has to be the hardest thing to go through. Thank you again in advance.oh no its not like that. I only know him through work and I really dont know how she would react to a female that she dont know coming to visit. I just want to understand more about it so I may be of some help to him during this extreamly hard time.
A: I’m so sorry, I know you must be feeling so worried and sad and overwhelmed.Stage 4 cancer is not good, I can’t give any medical advice, but as someone who recently lost her mother to breast cancer I can tell you this:Make the most of the time you have. Cherish every moment. Try not to dwell on what will happen after, focus on her being here now, cos if you’re focused on after she’s gone you’re wasting the moments you still have together. You don’t need to know anything about this disease to help, you need to just be as normal as possible, go round for a cup of coffee, discuss the latest book you’ve read, talk about how you feel or how she feels as and when you/she need/s to. There will be good days when you’ll look her at her and thing there’s nothing wrong with this woman, they obviously mixed up the test results with someone else, there will be other days when she seems so ill and fragile that it will cause you pain to be in the same room as her. I really am so sorry that she’s had this news, I truly hope you and her family will find the strength to help her through this, and I hope you find the strength to cope when it’s all over.My thoughts are with you.
Any experts on Atkins or South Beach or other low carb high nutrition diets for comments?
Q: I am looking for any expert advisers who would take the time to comment on my views. Simply because I do not want to steer anyone down a path to poor health since I have been down several myself and with bad results. So I am seeking comments on my post that follows:<<<<<<<<POSTING1>>>>>>>>>Hi,After reading your question I thought I would give you some pointers I have learned the hard way from my own bad ‘uninformed’ choices.Keeping to any plan that fights against bad habits is tough but being fit and strong versus being fat and sickly is all about how many calories you eat versus how many you burn and IF the calories are mostly the BEST QUALITY PROTEINS or mostly junk sugar-carbs. Many years ago I found that the Atkins Diet Plan made me healthier compared to my old high carb diet since it put my diabetes symptoms into remission, but PLEASE consider my experiences when I used the Atkins high cholesterol and fat philosophy for my long term nutrition.After the Atkins plan promoted many diseases, what now works best in order for me to keep my pruritus-urticaria in remission, after my gallbladder-biliary-liver and heart disease problems, is a 96% VEGAN diet, (for the required B12), that is low-carb low-fat and HIGH-PROTEIN. Because of my gallbladder-biliary-liver disease I no longer can eat much olive oil or dressings or nuts or other fats or any cholesterol because it causes immediate pruritus since my liver’s biliary system is plugged with cholesterol and calcium sludge, and I can not eat too many carbs because of yeast infections that break out after one, two, or three high carb meals.What I now do is what they teach most students in high school nutrition classes – which is to add up the vitamins and minerals from my ‘digestible’ foods and calculating the RDA’s [Recommended Dietary Allowances] or DV’s [Daily Reference Values] for each day to see if I am more than 100% for Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Thiamine-VitB1, Riboflavin-VitB2, Niacin-VitB3, VitB6-Pyridoxine, and Folate-VitB9. Things like bran are not digestible and not added since it is like a work horse or work oxen eating straw instead of digestible grass or alfalfa leaves. Also, after I accidentally poisoned myself with supplements, I leaned that supplements like iron and magnesium and colloidal silver etc are super toxic since they are ‘metallic’ minerals and oftentimes raw fertilizers with a 1000 fold markup. These ‘metallic’ mineral supplements have not yet been converted into a non-toxic food when during photosynthesis the electrons in a fertilizer are stripped away making it the more positively charged ‘non-metallic’ and non-toxic mineral element within the plant. Also, the highly profitable synthetic vitamin supplements I used to purchase have no unambiguous research backing them, and there is some obviously valid research concluding that they are more toxic than beneficial to any animal that has ever consumed them.What now keeps my diseases in remission is mostly a diet of cooked lentils then mixed with tomato sauce and boiled celery to make a quick microwave super high protein veg-chili. I boil all my foods since my digestive system is in such poor shape and I need as many nutrients as I can get out of the semi-expensive foods I buy.I used to eat much more meat when I was an Atkins dieter, before my pruritus attacks became so obvious that the cholesterol and fats in the meat or eggs and the calcium in the homemade yogurt I was eating was the root cause to the problem. FYI – IF you know of people getting colon cancer, it was during my Atkins period I learned to always eat enough vegetables to be a minimum of 2 x the weight of the meat that I ate – in order to not have any constipation or worse. I used to have reddish stools since I was likely on my way to getting colon cancer myself from eating much more meat protein than I could ever digest properly in my stomach and colon.After the Atkins Diet allowed my present health issues, I replaced the crock potted round steak or beef heart or chicken and sometimes river trout in my chili with lentils, because I learned that the nutritional content of lentils ranks high alongside, and comparable to, very lean meat or lean fish if it is grown in well fertilized soil. [Note: e.g. the labels on store bought spinach sometimes have a 4 fold difference in nutrition based upon the fertility of the soils and the growing methods for the farms it is grown on.] I also eat a-lot of boiled frozen broccoli and boiled organic or re-washed and re-boiled canned spinach with a vinaigrette of organic sugar with glass_bottled_cider_vinegar. The glassware is because of some friends that got lupus from eating too much plastic stuff, or inhaling it since they were house painters who used vinyl paints.The nutritional DV numbers that I now eat are three times what most others in my family are eating every day. I keep at about 100% and they are about 25 to 33%, but they are all morbidly obese diabetics. Even though I was once morbidly obese myself and had a heart attack from too many carbs for too long, (which I think gave me all the symptoms of beriberi, scurvy and pellagra, along with the beginnings of my gallbladder-biliary-liver disease), I am now more fit in comparison to most others I know.I hope you have learned something from my ‘mistakes’ that will soon help you along your way.<><My best to you and for your good health,A1[(-:]PS1 – I currently feel that what Dr. Fuhrman MD teaches is the best nutritional information available in the nation.http://www.diseaseproof.com/archives/cat-low-carb-high-protein.html http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2627/2 http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=43http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ PS2 – Boiling spinach can reduce the pesticides from 80 to 95%+ as per canning studies done in the 70’s, by boiling the pesticides off with the steam – after boiling it long enough to pull the pesticides out of the plant. Boiling also reduces the hundreds of percents of acid carbs, like folic acid, that makes eating a lot of raw spinach not digest easily and it would sometimes cause loose stools, and also breaks it down a first step so it is then easier to digest in the stomach. It also kills any bacteria or e-coli problems that may have somehow been introduced into the raw or commercially canned produce.http://www.foodnews.org/index.php

Boiling spinach also reduces the pesticides from 80 to 95%+ as per canning studies done in the 70’s, by boiling the pesticides off with the steam – after extracting it from the broken cells in the raw plant. Boiling for thirty minutes also kills any salmonella bacteria or e-coli and even anthrax spores that may have somehow been introduced into the raw or commercially canned produce.Boiling also breaks vegetables down a first step so it is then easier to digest in the stomach, which would then minimize gi-digestion cancer problems from continually overworking your gi-digestion system. Boiling also IMPROVES the micro-nutritional density, i.e. RDA%_nutrition per calorie, by about 10% as per the USDA’s data for boiled spinach versus raw spinach.For more info >>==>SEE:http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ ANDhttp://www.foodnews.org/index.php Source(s):I have learned what I now know after my own lengthy research efforts to improve my health – after ‘FINALLY’ listening to unbiased researching nutritionists.

A: First of all, your post is so long that I am now confused as to what the actual question is. If you’re asking for an opinion on this diet, I find it rather methodical and confusing.There is a diet that I believe is the healthiest diet I’ve ever used and recommended to anyone. It is called the Phase 1 and Phase 2 diet. Phase 1 is first, and then you can go onto Phase 2 or not. It is not a fad, but eating healthy for life and is similar to Atkins, but better. There are no portion or calorie counting on this diet either. You can find all of the information including the actual diet here:http://knowthecause.comI do suggest that you try this for at least a month and see that you will feel great. I have used it for many years and so have most of my family and friends. I also suggest that you watch the shows as well. It is all very informative.BTW – I do not boil or overcook any vegetables, but prefer eating them raw or mildly cooked as it keeps the nutrients alive.Good luck 🙂
