2 Questions: Cannabis Oil treatment & Has your diet changed?

Instead of juicing, you could lightly steam or sauté the spinach, kale, etc.  The cooking makes it more easy to digest, but you retain fiber that will be lost in juicing.  And eating the whole food is more filling, too.

Hi Cindy,

You can do a search on user GAngel .  Her husband, Rudy, uses cannabis oil (I believe he grows and makes his own – you never know what kind of chemicals and pesticides might be in it otherwise).  I haven't seen a post from either of them in a while but I believe they were going to take a break and just enjoy life being NED for a while.  He was using conventional medicine in addition to the cannabis oil so no telling what exactly was working for him.

As for grains, my doc said they were perfecty fine to eat as long as they were organic and ideally, sprouted to deactivate the anti-nutrients.  However, I seem to have allergy issues so I am mostly avoiding them.  I just feel better without them.  But I'll run that past Dr. Isaacs when I see her later this month as one of the "prescribed" foods I am to eat a few times a week is a raw 11-grain cereal (it makes my nose run so I stopped eating it).  I truly felt my best when I followed a Paleo diet (lots of avocado oil, spaghetti squash, and animal protein).

The doc said I should avoid most leafy greens except spinach.  So I make a spinach salad most days.  And I should eat at least 4 different vegetables every day (can be the same 4) plus a clove of garlic daily.  Broccoli and cruciferous vegetables (including kale) are good for me EXCEPT they MUST be COOKED (steamed ideally) otherwise they can compromise the thyroid.  I am also to eat 10 raw (unpasteurized) almonds at breakfast and lunch.  These are hard to find as the "raw" almonds in the store have all been pasteurized (2004 salmonella outbreak) but you can order directly from the grower (Anderson Almonds) or from Spain (via Amazon) to get truly raw almonds.  No sugar.  Only sweeteners allowed are whole fruit, organic maple syrup, organic raw honey or organic molasses.

OK, sorry, I'm sure that's too much information.  And it's only one doctor's opinion.  I don't know if its helping with the cancer, but I know its not bad for me.

Yeah, pastured chicken is pricey.  Organic chicken is fed corn which is not their natural diet but is definitely better than conventionally farmed chicken.

Off to get ready for my sister's wedding!  Take care!

Medical marijuana is legal in Michigan, and I tried it, in the hopes that it would help me sleep.  It didn't help with sleep, but I was surprised that it relieved my back pain for about six hours, and more effectively than any prescription or over-the-counter meds that I've taken (I've refused to take narcotics).  I didn't like the woozy feeling, the loss of balance, or the really bad case of the munchies that it gave me, but I will reserve it's use, in case I need it for pain management. 

Sorry for the multiple posts, but you may be intereested in the form of medical marijuana that I tried: it was a liquid/gel that I could squirt on food or into a drink.  I read that orally ingested marijuana take two to three hours to feel the effect (that's exactly what happened with me), and its effects last longer, than when smoked.  If you ingest it orally, it's processed by the liver; if you smoke it, it crosses the blood/brain barrier, and you feel the effects almost immediately, but the effects wear off much more quickly, too.  Also, when you ingest it orally, the THC is stored in your fat cells, and it takes your body about 30 days to eliminate the THC.

We can get all of  our protein needs met by eating a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes (beans) and nuts.  The typical Western diet that most Americans eat contains way too much protein, and studies have shown that animal protein is correlated with the "typical" Western diseases: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. 

One should do what one thinks best for oneself, but consuming animal protein is not necessary for a healthy diet and even contradicts it.
