Complementary and integrative approaches

Thanks Merilee.

Bobbimarie,

Not sure if you found this in this long thread, I suggest the book AntiCancer by Dr. Savid Servan Schrieber.

I combined both "traditional"/ chemtherapy, with integrative, with guidance from my doctors at Dana Farber.  Acupuncture is so important to me, just LOVE LOVE LOVE it, and how it has helped me keep balanced, increased my energy, and helped me heal.  I also see a massage therapist monthly, and that helps keep me mobile - exercise, good, basic, organic food.  No "prepared" foods.  I'm also gluten free, and dairy free.  Both those have made a wonderful difference.  

Pink butterfly, my daughter, who is a yoga instructor highly recommends www.yogaglo.com. You can try it free for 2 weeks and then it's $18 a month. All different levels, styles, durations of classes. Really awesome IMO.

I just spent a couple of hours on this website.  It has great info on it.

PiP, cool website.

Marilee-I'll put that on my list, thanks.  I noticed when looking it up that his diet includes dairy, which differs from Esselman and Schrieber.  I feel like I have a lot of research to do!

On the anti-cancer diet for 5 days with my DH and we both feel really good...along comes a care package from my friend of 45 years who lives across country.  A radiation therapy survival kit full of 33 days of sweets!  Oh I love her so much!  Anyone want some candy?

Walnuts Reduce BC Risk By Half In Animal Studies

I love walnuts and spinach

Yay! there it is.

Walnuts and Spinach!!!!!!!!!!!

I eat these every day!  And very essential in my golf game...... I am getting more distance on my drive and other fairway shots since I included them in my diet!  I hit 230 yards yesterday on my drive. Not bad for a 66 year old!!

I never leave for a golf game without a bowl of spinach and I drink the juice too!!!!

Remember the stories about popeye and Olive, I googled spinach and all the hype we listened to as children, and yes, a lot of the talk was  just hype, about having super strength, enormous muscles, etc etc. but yet.......all the studies show that there was something in that "talk and hype about spinach." 

 It seems spinach is a super food and has loads of  minerals as well as being an antioxidant as well as being on the anti cancer list and more......... vitamin A (and lutein), vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin K, magnesium, manganese, folate, iron, vitamin B2, calcium, potassium, vitamin B6, folic acid, copper, protein, phosphorus, zinc, niacin, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids.

All that goodness in a bowl of spinach...no wonder I don't leave home without it...hahahahah!!

God bless!

Painterly, If I thought walnuts and spinach could help my golf game I would roll in them before going out!  BarbaraA that sounds yummy.  I'm trying sauteed kale, carmelized onions and tomatoes on top of whole wheat flatbread and white bean paste. Pretty good.  Is there a healthy diet thread anyone follows?  I don't want to go off topic too much, but I would be so happy to have menu suggestions, especially since my DH and I are trying to follow the anti-cancer diet.
