JUICING

[Bronwin]

I would also like to know if any one of you do your own juicing?

I found this recipe on Pintersest - Beet,Apples,Carrots,Celery,Lime & Ginger

Apparently its called the Miracle Cure Juice and prevents Acne,Heart Attacks,Cancer,High Blood Pressure & Constipation, it Strengthens Immunity, Eyes, Liver, Spleen,Kidney,Pancreas & Digestive Tract...I have read the book anti cancer by Dr David Servan-Schreiber according to the book beet is very good in fighting cancer...I have been drinking this juice ever since i found out i had breast cancer...

I've also read fantastic things about beetroot, ginger and celery but carrots and apples have a lot of sugar which "feeds" cancer cells so I wonder if those shouldn't be replaced by other vegetables.

I had also read that sugar feeds cancer cells so I did my best to avoid eating it which conflicted with the booklet I was given during chemo about getting enough to eat, it stated to have full fat milk, hot chocolate as a bedtime drink, jam etc...but also to balance this with plenty of fruit and veg.

After a couple of months I happened to mention to a retired oncology nurse that I know, about cutting back on sugar and she said that sugar feeds all cells, not just cancerous cells, I think I'd made it sound like the sugar was specifically attracted to the cancer cells, haha!

Did your oncologist tell you to reduce dairy and red meat? Mine told me to hardly have any of these and I think the reason being they all have growth hormone.

And I love my steak! I can't abstain from having some cheese or yoghurt and above all a cup of cuppuccino!

I have taken a break of shout two months from taking anastrozole because my liver was "misbehaving" very badly. At the same time I was taking enalapril so now I'm back taking anastrozole so will see what happens to my liver!

I wasn't told to avoid any particular foods, but I did my own research into what's best to eat. I use flaxseed in my diet now as amongst other things its high in omega 3 and dietary fiber. Its ground so it easily mixes with porridge, natural yoghurt, casseroles etc...I get it from Holland and Barrett.

I read that flaxseed is thought to be good in fighting/ preventing cancers.

A friend of mine worked for cancer research U.K. And said there is a definate link

Google his video.

Patrick pollard cancer metabolism. It's on you tube.

I tried to copy a link on here but it would not let me!

Cazlav...I also read up on the Theory that said Sugar Feeds on Cancer Cells and Also Learned that sugar/glucose feeds all cells...So Maybe i can still have a piece of cake don't you think? just not over indulge like i use to...Oh but i just love everything sweet

Hi bronwin

Yeah have a slice of cake every now and then, I still do. How did your tests go, do you know anything more?

[shubhac]

Bronwin, have you come across any studies or trials where efficacy of beet juice has been ascertained?

[Wendytmx]

Hi x I've been juicing for about 4 years, lots of different recipes! Strange thing was when I started of chemo I couldn't stomach it!! The plan was to do a lot though out but just can't !! Plan to try when finished in march. So many health benifits! X

I've been juicing for quite a while - add in some avocado , spinach, cinnamon, banana, blueberries , mango , cucumber to the smoothies - all have some anti-cancer properties and delicious . Also have a look at the "medical medium" on Face book. You will find some really interesting and helpful tips.

I like the writing of Pauline Lomas and her blog is worth a read - she travels with her juicer (except for her latest trip to Italy) and an inspiring woman paulinelomas.wordpress.com
