I am reading up about healthy and anti cancer diets. I have a pretty good diet as it is, but I am looking out for any views on what might have helped others with MPNs. I am reading the anti cancer duet book which was discussed at last year's London patient forum..
Hope everyone is having a good Sunday afternoon.

Hello Holly. Yes of course it is by Dr David Servan-Schreiber. The Anti Cancer diet: A new way of life. I ordered it on Amazon - 2011 edition. I've just started reading it. There is also a website. Hope you find it interesting reading.
I changed my diet and lifestyle 4 years ago when I was diagnosed with histamine intolerance ( I've had PV for 7 years - the HIT was a result of a 9 month dose of antibiotics for a UTI - if I could shoot my GP I would happily do so! )
I now eat as many organic foods as I can but of course that 's not totally necessary, but I ABSOLUTELY don't eat anything ready made, processed, out of a tin or containing additives or preservatives - or chemicals.
Only fresh food, no gluten, no dairy apart from small amount organic butter, no wheat if I can help it. I do eat meat - organic chicken and lamb.
Wouldn't touch anything except organic chicken if I were you ( my dog now won't eat supermarket rubbish chicken !) and either organic fish or sustainably sourced - never farmed.
I drink 2/3 litres water every 24 hours and don't dri alcohol.
I also walk for at least an hour a day as briskly as I can.
David Serban Schreiber's book makes interesting reading.......
