Finding some help
and being my own ADVOCATE!
and being my own ADVOCATE!
I read somewhere if you were going to use a holistic Dr. you should look for someone older, who really had some experience behind him/her. Well in my rural area and limited funds, the options weren't plentiful. Believe it or not with those odds against me I found the neatest holistic care center with an older than "older" Doctor. In fact he had retired and by force of customer demand had to re-open his practice. New customers were by referral only so I called him up without one and told him my story and begged! He reluctantly took me in! I was a bit skeptical, as he is hard of hearing and seems to be a little too "OLD". But its true, his knowledge cannot be challenged.
My first visit, he sat me down and said to my Husband and I "I Don't Cure Cancer" "If it happens to be cured while you are under my care, well that will be a plus for you" I was a bit skeptical, I wanted to hear, "I can fix you right up"!
Well holistic medicine doesn't work like conventional medicine. I was learning this slowly. It took a long time for my body to get in this condition and a reverse was going to take a while. One great thing about our bodies is they put up with a lot, and respond quickly to natural healing.
Well anyway with the help of this good Doc. I started my treatments. Not only did he have his treatment, I had mine, which he did not like. Plastered all over his office were little signs stating just that! "your success would depend on who was the Doctor" etc. Well I am a bit hard headed and go by feelings and felt like I needed more than what he had to offer. So I brought in my own protocol.
Diet to me is a huge factor to everything that ails us. He didn't disagree but he didn't think diet could cure me. Well I don't either! I think diet is a part of your healing journey or your prevention. I stumbled on a website that sold nutritional products, it was a compelling site. It had a page that said contact us, so I did and told the man about my problem. He had advice, it was sincere and not just trying to sell his products. He told me about the Budwig Diet, Joanna Budwig a German physicist won 7 Nobel Prizes for her work. I liked what I heard so I implemented it. Some of her protocols I didn't care for and didn't use, but I love the flaxseed oil/cottage cheese mix. When mixed it oxygenates and forces oxygen through out your body and CANCER DOESN'T LIKE OXYGEN!
So now in my first few months of diagnosis, I was slowly making changes to my diet. I learned the importance of being alkaline, I was horribly acidic. "CANCER DOESN'T LIKE ALKALINE ENVIRONMENT Eating foods off the akaline food chart, (just Google it and you can find one) really helps. I also used special drops to alkaline my water. Lemons work well too or you can use sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). I spent hours in the local health food store marveling over everything and learning as much as I could.
I started to learn the benefits of a raw food diet, eating as many fruits and veggies raw as I could. This I guess is the hardest for me, because I have always loved to COOK! I love food all food so eating my veggies isn't hard. Finding time to prepare them was the problem.
