FOOD!!!

Warning to all who are currently on Gerson Therpy:
YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THE NEXT ENTRY BECAUSE I AM NO LONGER ON THE GERSON DIET AND THIS NEXT ENTRY IS REGARDING THE JOY I AM EXPERIENCING WITH FOOD!!!

Once I stopped the Gerson Therapy, I chose to continue to maintain the commitment to an alkaline diet (like that of Gerson Therapy) since an alkaline body is the least favorable environment for cancer. Cancer thrives in an acidic body. By eating alkaline foods, I am keeping the pH of my body as close to 7 as possible and I am creating a hostile environment for the cancer. But guess what??? A LOT can be done with just alkaline ingredients! If anybody knows of a good website with alkaline food information, please post it as a comment so others have access to it. Thanks!

I eat a mostly vegan diet - "mostly" because I drink a whey supplement and occasionally have a little ghee [ghee - clarified butter without any solid milk particles or water] - and I am even gaining weight which is an intention of mine since holding weight can be difficult for people being treated with chemotherapy & radiation. Dr. Cagir requested I put on the weight I lost while on Gerson Therapy and I am happy to!

So, I'm eating a ton of avocado - Daniela makes me guacamole. Lots of raw almond butter - absolutely delicious. And a friend of mine made me carrot cake, oatmeal rasin cookies, and peanut butter cookies with almost all alkaline ingredients. Granted these are not ideal alkaline food recipes, but they are a whole lot more alkaline than the refined non-alkaline foods out there.

I'm eating hummus which I love and different types of noodles and so many foods that likely won't even phase you - that for me, coming from Gerson - are absolutely delicious! I haven't even touched the tip of the iceberg as far as the foods I can now eat. So let me just say, it is so nice to be eating delicious food again !!!
