33 Replies

Hi everyone, I was thrilled to receive this message yesterday as I love baking with as natural wholesome foods possible, plus it has to be gluten free so the thought of my recipe sugestion being used professionally to help people beat cancer thriough flavour is humbling as I'm touched by this.

It also shows the power of social media and how great Health Unlocked are for supporting so many health conditions.

Here's my recipe:

And here's the message to me:

Thank you Alicia, I'd forgotten that I'd responded to this and as it was initiated by Boehringer Ingelheim campaign with HU I thought I'd give feedback as we all encourage one another on here. It was only because it was gluten free methinks.

Jerry 😊

It's funny how we can sometimes forget we've done things.

HU is a fantastic forum and we do encourage each other but I must admit you do make some delicious foods Jerry. The king of baked goods.

That is fantastic Jerry, Congratulations.

You deserve it 😁 very proud

in reply to Kitten-whiskers

Thank you so much Debs, I'm pleased that it's for such a good cause.

I've seen your dishes and so many others and I'm really impressed, which has encouraged me to post on here and if I weren't a member of HE this wouldn't have happened.

So I think that it represents the whole ethos of HE and our members and I'm pleased about that. 😊

Congratulations Jerry I bet you are thrilled with that :).

I believe that nutritional food can not only beat cancer but can prevent cancer too and this includes other disease too.

As a friend said to me not long ago, it is better to prevent cancer rather than fighting to get rid of it.

in reply to Matt2584

Thanks Matt and wise words from your friend and it is good to be able to give comfort to those who need it the most. 😊
