CANCER, FROM A SURVIVOR'S VIEWPOINT!

This is being written by a person with cancer

who has vital information to share based on successes with a raw food diet. Hello, I am Barbara Ellingson here, alive and kicking, on planet earth, 2008!

Over the fateful Labor Day Weekend in 2006, when I was transported on a stretcher in an ambulance because I had been unable to move for 3 days due to back pain, they did an MRI at the hospital and I got diagnosed with advanced spinal cancer.

My prospects were bleak in terms of cancer recovery—and I know because I got to see the MRI on the medical doctor's lap-top computer. That was the picture worth 1000 words. It certainly explained why I'd ended up immobile and in the hospital to begin with.

I called Aajonus Vonderplanitz PhD Nutrition, right away. I won't go in to how I had heard of him earlier, but suffice it to say I got started on his recommended raw food diet and herbs at that time. I could tell within a week that I was no longer being consumed—from the inside. The raw food diet was that calming, even before I started the herbs. (By the way, I am now walking around.)

My nutritionist zeroed in on 2 main factors that are common to holistic cancer treatments: detoxification and nutrition, but not as you will usually find— when you read his books, you will see. The herbs he recommended as being non-toxic were intended as a more aggressive treatment beyond the diet, so that I would not end up paralyzed due to spinal nerve damage as a result of the cancer.

So here I am still alive and doing well (all things considered) two weeks short of two years after cancer-diagnosis, with what the hospital doctors believe (in the absence of a biopsy) is most likely the multiple myeloma form of cancer. I had chosen not to have a biopsy done because we knew the tumors on my spine were malignant, and I did not want to risk spreading the disease. Since then I have chosen to receive no medical treatment for cancer at all: that is, no surgery, no radiation, no chemotherapy. The latest MRI and blood tests (one and a half years after the original tests) show essentially no spreading of the cancer since it was first discovered! I am just one example of living proof of a cancer treatment that is relatively gentle, and that really does hold a promise of full recovery down the line.

Note: at the bottom of the home page on the website is a picture of me strangling the cancer monster, and also a poem that I wrote and dedicated to my nutritionist. Then you will see that the 1^st five chapters of this author's first book are available to view on the website FOR FREE. Please get the flavor and concept of this and see what you think.

Also, the information you'll find about nutrition is also great for preventing illnesses of various kinds and for boosting good health—it's not only helpful with cancer. As we know, our good health is our most valuable commodity. It's easy to take it for granted, even though it really stands at the beginning of all that we embark upon every day in life!
