I am looking into vegan diet and organic foods on the advice of our Shaman.
My husband is converting to a raw diet to cure his cancer, to boost his
immune system to overcome the cancer. but all the posts look like political
statements and personal attacks.
is there true guidance here?

if not, can someone direct me someplace where there is?

thanks
Lori

I hosted a live talk version of this dvd and watched the dvd several
times. It is by a vegan MD. I learned things about cancer and
preventing it that I never even heard of befo

There are a few of us. If you set your newsreader up to filter out
crossposts you will eliminate 98% of the trash. The urls I posted
should give you some good guidance. Dr. Greger and Jack Norris RD are
very happy to answer question via email

shopping mall"

Hi Lorelei!
There are real people lurking about here. This used to be a very active
and supportive group...

I don't know anything about cancer and boosting the immune system. I do
know that I myself feel great since going Vegan in 2000. I used to
catch every cold and flu that came along, have very low energy and
intestinal problems.
I took a Macro-Biotic cooking class a few years ago. There was a woman
in the class with Ovarian Cysts and she found that Macro-Biotics
alleviated her symptoms.
Keep searching, I'm sure there is a raw food group around.
Good Luck and hope your husband beats the cancer

Why do you follow a leader?

> My husband is converting to a raw diet to cure his cancer,

I'm sorry to hear he has cancer, but a raw diet won't cure it. Why are
you following the advice of a medium/sorcerer instead of a trained
medical scientist (i.e., a doctor)?

"Boosting" the immune system won't help him overcome it. Depending on
the kind of cancer, there are a variety of standard, more effective ways
of treating it than by adopting a fad diet.

Only when deserved.

No, this is usenet. Go squeeze the shaman.

Try www.quackwatch.com and look for cancer information on that site.

What is faddish about eating whole foods instead of the processed crap that
is so prevalent in the American diet??

Sorry to hear. I'm highly skeptical a raw diet will help "boost" his
immune system or improve his quality of life.

You really should stop looking at things in the extremes. One can have a
healthful diet without going to the extreme of eating only certain foods
(produce) in a certain state (raw).

Good! I wish you and your husband the best. I'm just not convinced a
"shaman" is the best for either of you.

... by a -very- few psychopathic anti-veg*n trolls, who have nothing
meaningful to contribute, but try to justify their own deadly, cultural diet
by insulting others who actually have the interest and courage to explore
their own.
