Dear Seinfeldfan, When I was diagnosed with stage 3c O.C. I immediately called an Integrative Dr. in my area.I had him follow me through my surgery and chemo. We began alternative treatment right away. It started with some Reiki(laying on of hands,energy medicine),immune boosting diet and supplements, and involving myself with positive support and affirmations.I began relaxation,some simple yoga,spending time enjoying things,stopping the worry, and taking a long hard look at my life. In regards to your question about sugar,here is exactly what I did.I allowed myself raw honey and all the organic fruit I wanted to eat. I ate no added man made sugar,that is,sugar that was extracted from sugar beets or sugar cane.I craved cantelope so badly when I did my chemo, that I made sure I had one already prepared when I got home.As long as the food you are craving is natural,eat all you want,listen to your body.If you go online and google enzymes and cancer you will read much on the importance of enzymes on the cellular level and why you must eat as much fresh fruits and veges as possible.Also ,Believe me my friend,do your research and be an informed participant in your healing journey.It was a terrifying time for me. I cried much and prayed much.All of the conventional statistics and research I read were hopeless and troubling. When I flipped it over to alternative treatment,I was inspired.I had a reoccurance,a small grape size tumor on my colon.I had been cancer free for18 months. I let my oncologist remove the tumor,only because I was also having a small hernia repaired also.He suggested that he take a look around when the other doctor was repairing the hernia and he would remove the tumor.After I had that done,it was told to me that another round of big guns chemo would be neccessary.The carbo taxol was suggested again,another 6 rounds. Right then and there I said"NO!" I had just about enough.I said if I'm going to die,I'd rather it be from the disease and not the chemo. We are led to believe that when O.C. comes back,it is swift and with a vengeance.It has been exactly one full year,the tumor was seen on a cat scan in Feb.2011 and removed March 2011.I did nothing more than continue with diet and immune boosters.As I write,I am strong 148lbs.,eating drinking fine,sleeping well,much stamina and back working !!!The most important supplements I took were,Primal Defense probiotics,multiple and B complex,essiac,astagalus massive doses of vitaminC,raw ginger, raw honey,ate all fresh fruits and veges.Fresh shiitake mushrooms and a mushroom complex supplement.I increased my sleep,as my integrative Dr. had told me that you heal when you are sleeping. I had never had enough sleep previously. All of this healing requires a drastic lifestyle change.It is hard to go it alone,that is why an Integrative Dr. is helpful.I had to stop some of my supplements a few days before chemo and then resume a day after.He had it all mapped out for me. I hope this is helpful,and please ,if there is anything else I can share,let me know. It is helpful when we encourage one another. Blessings Anita
