Thanks Isadora. Looks an interesting site. Will check it out properly when feeling a bit more 'with it'. Last chemo today - Carbo/Gemcitabine - for a few months thank goodness. It has left me feeling pretty rough. Am going to try and further improve my diet before I see onc again end of May. Have been looking at WHFoods site and trying to remember info about benefits of different foods. Do you have any other good foods related site details?

Thanks for the jog about the World's Healthiest Foods site! I shall definitely be back there often!

There are so many brilliant resources out there; but my starting place is always the 'Anticancer' book and David Servan-Schreiber's site simply because he's explained so much of the huge body of evidence in a way that makes sense to me. These points always stick out to me:

1. Cut out or down on red meat and dairy (unless from grass fed organic herds).

2. Eat as many anti-inflammatory foods as possible (turmeric activated with black pepper; green tea brewed for over 7 minutes, etc, etc)

3. Avoid processed food, and make your own sourdough bread without sugar or commercial yeast if possible.

4. Cut out sugar - substitute with zylitol, truvia, stevia, or agave nectar.

5. Eat as much raw food as possible - fresh fruit and veg are better raw or cooked as little as possible. (and go for the organic produce that have blemishes and marks as these are higher in beneficial salvestrols).

6. Use linseed meal and oil-yoghurt emulsion to balance omega fats, and use olive oil in cooking rather than 'cooking' oils.

Oh, and lately I've discovered anticancerinfo.co.uk/index.... about using apricot kernels, and how it can help!

That should keep us entertained for a while!!

I really hope you feel better and better and all is well very soon.

Thanks Isadora

Already follow some of the points mentioned.but will try the sour dough bread. I do make wholemeal scones without sugar, just sultanas for sweetness (ships biscuits my husband calls them) but I enjoy them when I want something sweet.

Out in the sunshine this morning to our nearest National Trust property for a peaceful walk amongst the spring bulbs. Lovely. But needed snooze this afternoon!

Thanks again for the links.
