Maintaining Alkaline Ph For Cancer Prevention

I am a 3 year breast cancer survivor. I went through convential methods, surgery, chemo, radiation after being diagnosed with Stage 2a breast cancer. I have recently been researching preventatives so that I may minimize my risk of a reoccurance and try to eliminate the side affects of my treatment. One area that is consistently coming up and makes good common sense is maintaining a balanced (slightly alkaline) PH. A woman in my survivors group was diagnosed with a Stage 4 reoccurance. She went to Hippocrates Wellness Center in West Palm Beach for treatment, mainly diet, and is now in remission. A fellow patient with MS was remarkedly improved after his stay. Tapes by Dr. Lorraine Day, an MD who chose treatment through diet rather than western medicine, is a survivor. Diet is very strict, green and sprouted foods mainly. Coral Calcium by Natures way had helped me get Alkaline. I highly recommend looking into this. Search for PH and alkaline PH. Some conflicting info. on diet, stay away from Apple cider vinegar and dairy as some sites recommend, as they are so acidic, they make your body alkaline by leaching calcium out of your bones. Most other recommendations good. Good luck and love and appreciate each day

Dear Sheri T:
I have read that apple cider vinegar is good, (not bad) for cancer patients. If you have info to the contrary, would you please send it to me. I am sending you a website that says the opposite:
http:members.tripod.com/Howtuz/cidervinegar.html)Please read it and let me know what you think. If you have any problems in getting to this website, let me know and I will send it to you in another email.

Hello Francis:
I have been to have a "live blood test" which is fascinating if you ever get the chance to have one. The person who gave me this test, markets Innerlight products for Alkalinity and he is very knowledgeable about alternative medicine. He told me that Apple Cider Vinegar will make you alkaline, however, not in a constructive way. He said that when you take it, that it is such an acidic shock to your body that calcium is leached out of your bones, in an overreactive manner in order to alkalize the acid shock to your body, that the Apple cider vinegar causes. He said that Dairy is the same way, as it is Lactic Acid. There are more constructive ways to become alkaline that do not effect your bones. Following, are a couple of pretty interesting websites.
I have recently started to become more alkaline by taking Nature's Way Coral Calcium. I take 2 or 3 scattered throughout the day and then 3 at night when I go to bed. You can order it from Natures Way online or buy it at Vitamin Cottage. Other health food stores may have it as well. I had tried other brands but Natures Way is the only one that works for me
I also take PH Balance one pill 3 times a day.
I spit on a piece of the PH test strips and also pee on one first thing in the morning. The strips I like come in a roll and are by Enzymedica. You can also get these at Vitamin Cottage and online. If you buy PH Balance, they have some in the bottle.
I do believe that the Natures Way Coral Calcium (http://www.naturesway.com ) has made the biggest difference as I had taken other brands of Coral Calcium without good results. I do believe that Brand makes a big difference. cts,(http://www.innerlightinc.com ) which I may start again after I am finished with the Purity Vitamins and greens that I have ordered. I will always continue to take the Natures Way Coral Calcium regardless of what vitamin program I settle on.

The website that I spoke of that had a very good explanation about PH is:

it does specifically address cancer. Let me know if you have any trouble accessing it.
Another one is http://www.essence-of-life.com

Also of note, Dr.Lorraine Day, cured herself of advanced breast cancer. She follows a very strict diet, and prays quite a bit. I have some of her videos that I purchased. She is a Doctor, but refused chemo and radiation and cured herself through diet, faith, moderate exercise, sunshine, drinking a lot of water. She has been on Oprah, Larry King and has an info-mercial. She does not talk about alkalinity specifically, however, the diet she follows is an alkaline diet. Very interesting stuff.

Dr. Lorraine Days website is: http://www.drday.com
I unfortunatly got some bad news on my PET scan yesterday. I am going in for MRI's tomorrow to investigate 2 areas that showed up as "hot spots" If this goes south on me I will probably go to the wellness center "Optimum Health" in Austin or "Hippocrates" in West Palm beach, as they have helped a girl in my support group that was diagnosed with a Stage 4 reoccurance.
I hope that you have a healthy and happy Holiday Season.
Take care

Do you know where to purchase these alkaline strips? Thanks.

I have found them at Vitamin Cottage.

I live near Austin, Texas? Tell what you know of treatment there and send me any links.

The Wellness center is called Optimum Health. The website is listed below along with other websites you may find interesting. Let me know if you know anything about it. A friend of mine is there now, she has Stage IV and thinks this will really help her.

I will certainly check out the place in Austin.
I have heard of the ph balance diets and have it saved on my pc and refer to it often. I imagine it is Dr. Day. but would love to have the entire resource. Since no one seems too worried about diagnosing me, I might as well visit this place in the meantime. I work in Austin nearly every week.

Lisa:
Let me know what you think about Optimum Health and how things go for you.
Take care

To all: Since the early 1950's, cancer researchers have KNOWN that cancer cells cannot live in an alkaline environment!(Nor in an oxygen-rich environment!!) As for Coral Calciums, there are always bogus products in circulation:a 64-yr-old friend had taken 6K/day for 6 years, as his femoral "heads" dissolved! However, in only 2 weeks of IPRIFLAVONE therapy, the surfeit of calcium-complex in various parts of his body coalesced via the ipriflavone, and he said, as he RAN to greet me @ church, "That stuff works! I can FEEL my bones growing!" Now, I would not use other forms of vinegar internally, and cider for only the removal of kidney calcifictions: 1 tsp in a 1/2-glass of water, 3x/day, & for no more than 2 weeks at the most!
Mineralization is good, but use amino-acid chelates! Cesium Chloride is faster/stronger, & will raise the pH to 7.4 & better! The greatest error I see is those in stage IV trying a stage III therapeutic(or the like). We
must always do all we can to reverse the conditions, so the cells-gone-crazy either recover, or die!Sincerely,MLM.ND
