Naturopath/Nutritionist

There is a nutritionalist that I went to after chemo/rads that I found researching on the internet.  She is in New York however she does do phone interviews/sessions---- you fax her your bloodwork, etc. and she works through a plan for you.  She has done a number of seminars in cancer centers and seems to specialize in breast cancer.

I only did two sessions by phone but follow her protocol three years later.  She has a pretty strict diet that I can't follow as well as I probably should but I try.  I also take her supplements which seem to mirror a lot of the ongoing research.

Her name is Dina Khader and you can google her and find her website & details.  I honestly didn't find being in Florida and doing this over the phone a problem.  Maybe it can work for you if you can't find someone local.

Hope this helps.

Of course!!!

As far as the food she recommends....

Lentils 5X a week..... I was blown away by this but then did some googling and have a better understanding as to why.

Fruits but limited due to high sugar content

brocolli, cauliflower---veggies in general

no red meat... only chicken and fish

wheat bread is a no no ....she says it lowers immune function

Stay away from acidic foods....no orange juice as an example.

I have taken her supplement plan which is her green tea supplement, brocolli sprout formula supplement and something called Oncaplex (which includes tumeric, citrus pectin, reservatrol etc.). I've been doing this consistently for 3.5 years. I have found compelling research that seems to lean towards all of this.  The only vitamins I take are vitamin D/calcium which seems to be the only vitamins the big guys in oncology feel are good for you these days.

I have no idea if this is good advice or not......just what I have been doing......since I have been beating the odds I'm not stopping it!!! LOL.

Jacqueline - Thanks very much for the nutitrionist name.  I went to her site and lots of infornation!  Do you mind if I ask which supplements from her site you are using?  There so many listed.  I need to look up lentils - - interesting but 5 times a week is much maybe.  I would love to find some really good Japanese green tea to purchase.  Again a search provided so many sites and type I don't know which or how to choose.  Joann
