I did purchase People Magazine yesterday so that I could read Emme's story and plus the fact that she was diagnosed with the same kind of cancer(Hodgkins lymphoma) that my daughter had. Emme say's that during her chemo, she drank up to 40 oz's of juiced greens a day, believing that the antioxidant rich veggies could boost her immune system.
Here comes the "Dr." part.........Many doctors however note that there is little medical evidence to support this claim.:eek: Still, her oncologist says he saw "no harm" in his patient's daily practice.
It is very irritating to me when I read misinformation like this. I for one know how well the raw foods worked for my own daughter. She was diagnosed at stage 3b and when she came back home from where she was living, I about fell to my knees when I first saw her! Her husband was supporting her to just walk! She was in sooo much pain and agony! All she could do was lay on the sofa and cry/moan. She had been misdiagnosed twice before she finally went to the emergency room and was finally diagnosed with her cancer. They wanted to start her on chemo then and there:eek: SinceI am totally opposed to any kind of conventional cancer "treatment" , but knew that since she was age 21 and had to make her own choices, she decided that she would go the alternative route and let mom take care of her. Well in two weeks time.......due to fresh juicing, raw salads, detoxing, supplements, rebounding, new personal care products, no poison water, etc.........she was up and about and laughing and going places and doing things! You never would have known that two weeks prior tho this, she was indeed dying! She had an appt with the surgeon who was on duty that night in emergency when she was diagnosed and when i took her for her appt and he walked in the room.......He could not believe what he was seeing! I think the man was in Shock!
Anyhow, I was saddened when my daughter was pressured into 6 months of chemo by relatives and "Dr's"! But like I said, my daughter was then 21 and an adult. But I did have an entire month to build up her immune system and because of this, her hair which was supposed to fall out by "treatment" number two.....it only thinned by month 5. Her periods never ceased, she never had nausea, she was never drained of energy......and her fertility was totally protected! her oncologist told her she would never be able to conceive as a result of the chemo. But I knew better! well guess what? At the end of her 6 month "treatments", she was pregnant! Her oncologist wanted her to make an immediate trip to the U of M medical center in Ann Arbor. She had an appt with the head of the oncologist dept and was told that they have NEVER encountered a case like hers! He was writing down her protocol I had her on like a madman:p My grandson, Zavian was born with perfect apgars and he is a very smart and active little guy. My daughter remains mostly raw today and her and her husband are getting ready to have their third baby. she is very active and thriving!
Let me end by saying that I have absolutely no faith is so called "medical evidence" I know first hand how well RAW works and I thank GOD for this everyday:)
