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!

primal diet - I haven't been this healthy since 6 or 7 years old

To Aajonus,
Like many others I also tried many different things to fix my problems. Antibiotics (though only when it got really bad), creams, oils, and finally I began an informal and slack elimination diet. I read about your raw food diet once or twice but didn't take to it until I did some more research on you and the primal diet. The more I read, the more it made sense and the more hope I had. Then I tried the diet and sure enough, immediate results. Apparently my body doesn't tolerate sugar/starches/grains very well. And as a result my skin would produce bacteria overload and thus infections. Well a year later and I eat a mostly raw diet and love it. I have more confidence because my face is not all marked up with quarter sized puffy infections and life is pretty good.

Ok so I did give my life story a bit, but I guess you can just toss this in to the bin with the rest! Mostly I just want to thank you for pioneering something that is so taboo. My family still thinks I'm crazy but I know the truth, and the proof is in the results. I haven't been this healthy probably since I was 6 or 7 years old, I'm now almost 22. If there's anything I can ever do for you, or you're in Minnesota and want a place to stay and get some good quality food, shoot me an email, I'd be honored. No need for a reply, I know you're a busy guy, thanks and keep up the awesome work!

Primal Diet results in Athens, Greece

Hi Aajonus. My name is Juby and I am your biggest fan! No really!

I have never experienced anything with such fast and profound results [as the Primal Diet].

I got over the vegetarian evangelist things... started drinking raw milk again (I hadn't touched it for years) and have never felt better! Recently I read your book and just want to say... Thank you sir.. from the bottom of my heart, for all your hard work! You have had a massive affect on my life already.

Recently I opened my own body stress release practice in Athens, Greece. If you are interested please see www.bodystressrelease.co.za

Hernia, ibs, diabetes, seem to vanish

on a raw food diet:
'Hi Aajonus,

Early last year I was very ill; I was losing weight very rapidly and was not able to digest. I was diagnosed with IBS [irritable bowel syndrome] together with hietial hernia.

Also [I was] dehydrating at a very fast pace, diagnosed with a rare illness called Diabetes Insipidus.

In a nutshell I’ve tasted thirst and it is not good!

My friend heard that I was very ill and called me; she could not even recognize my voice.

When I said to her “What can I eat”! She began to read your books for me on the phone.

She realized I could not even read with enough concentration. Your diet began to make an impact on my body the moment.

I dragged myself out of bed and made the first smoothie of eggs and papaya. Ever since then my search for the raw food has been exciting to say the least.

For one thing, I was never able to drink pasteurized milk and now I drink gallons of raw milk.

I have been able to visit your conferences twice and had consultations at which time you have been able to help me tremendously.

I’m writing you this note to “Thank you” for not only myself but my husband who was diagnosed with prostate cancer and we both are doing very well,

Also to let you know we had a graduation party on the 22nd of June 08 for our younger son, among our guests was Conrad Mac Intire. He is a tennis coach for the City of Springfield MA and he had this comment to make in front of our guests:

“ Ydalmen, you look as you did 20 years ago, I told my wife you have to call her and ask what diet you’re on. You look terrific”.

Also in the spring my ophthalmologist measured my vision for new glasses, his comment was

“I’ve not seen any one improve their vision in a year like your vision”.'

Raw Milk in California - we are closer to our goal:

CA Assembly Ag and Health Committees
Pass SB 201 Unanimously

---

Thanks in large part to your calls for support, The Fresh Milk Act of 2008 [read "raw milk"] achieved resounding success in two Assembly committee hearings last week. Members of both the Agriculture and Health committees commented repeatedly on the volume of calls they received in support of SB 201. Short You Tube coverage is provided.

It is highly rewarding to legislators when the public uses our political system in such a positive and passionate way.

Your Calls and Attendance Were Key to this Win

Let's keep it up!

SB 201 will most likely get some minor refinements before moving on to the Senate Appropriations Committee in a few weeks.
