im on day four of the program and have a really hard time with soup for dinner. do you know if it is ok to have meat such as sliced chicken or ground turkey in the soup — or is this not liquid enough and will take your body too long to digest for the 12 hour window..?

I have been interested in the link between diet and cancer for several years, but even more so after losing my uncle to liver cancer a little over a year ago. Sadly, it is too late for your mother and my uncle, but witnessing what they went through has given us knowledge we might have otherwise never had … knowledge that we can use now to help protect our loved ones who are still with us.

Thank you for reading.

I lost my Mom to breast cancer almost 2 years ago. She was diagnosed at 47, no family history of cancer, and the most active and adventurous person I knew.

For almost 2 years, she went though multiple rounds of both radiation and chemo. Neither helped and in fact, it made her worse. After the 2nd year, she visited a holistic chiropractor who put her on supplements and a raw, vegan diet.

While the cancer was too far along at that point to be cured, the change in diet and removal of chemical treatments helped my Mom to truly feel better. Her mental state was clear, she had enough energy to hike again, and I believe it made her last year here more enjoyable. She was herself again.

Before her passing, I would have known nothing about “eco-friendly” or “slow food”. Now, like you, I am so entrenched that I forget others know little about how their choices are poisoning them. Thankfully there are blogs like yours to help spread the word.

I’m sure this wasn’t an easy article for you to post, but I’m so glad you did!
