I actually found some and tried it this weekend. I looked up some recipes and tossed the quinoa with some olive oil and the juice and zest of an organic lemon. It was great! In fact even a few other family members who are a little leary of trying new stuff liked it!

Her immune system is too low to operate so she is getting a series of shots. She is only 27. <BR/><BR/>Anyone out there with stomach cancer?

I was wondering if the juices without the fiber would be easier.<BR/><BR/>Also, on the juicers, I bought a Hamilton Beach Big Mouth juicer at Wal-Mart for $50 and made our very own green juice.

I've added it to my Christmas wishlist. :)<BR/><BR/>As for raw on the go breakfast... some raw foodies will do dehydrated items like dried fruit, dried fruit bars and that sort of thing. Some raw foodies don't do dehydrated so I guess it just depends on how much nutrition you are trying to get. You could probably adjust some raw cookie type recipes to be more breakfast like as well. It would take some advanced planning to make.<BR/><BR/>Jamie, <BR/>Bav might have been talking about another one but the sprouted grain pasta and breads I buy are from <A HREF="http://www.foodforlife.com" REL="nofollow">http://www.foodforlife.com</A> Look for Ezekiel 4:9 or Genesis 1:29 - The pasta is dried so it's on the shelf with the organic pastas but the breads and tortillas are in the freezer section usually.

I'm sure it gets to feel like a full time job sometimes. I wonder if you're planning to do an FAQ section. I just noticed one on Rosie O'Donnell's blog and thought of you right away. (Go to rosie.com if ya wanna see what I'm referring to.) There's a place right on the homepage that you can click on for "the top q&a; answers to the most popular questions people ask on the blog." Maybe when your schedule allows, you could create a similar section so people can read before they ask. Better yet, have someone create it for you. Might save you some time and the nuisance of being asked the same questions over and over. I hope you feel how grateful we all are for the time you put into this blog. I hope it doesn't ever become a pain in your (already busy) behind.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391231895440591258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-37465672570370231712007-11-17T23:11:00.000-05:002007-11-17T23:11:00.000-05:00I looked up hospital + organic food and found out ...I looked up hospital + organic food and found out that some hospitals are starting to go organic.<BR/>Here's the article:<BR/>http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1194018,00.html<BR/><BR/>Since I'll work at a hosp. in the future I'm thinking I'll try to work at one that does serve organic food cuz then it means they might be receptive to more change.

It is not that it smells bad, but I have this psycho-sematic response to it.) I was just at the Farber last week for a follow-up. Dana-9 (the breast center) has a wonderful boutique for cancer patients. It is where they have hats and scarfs for chemo-patients, and wonderful help for getting wigs and breast forms for after mastectomy surgery. I noticed they did not have your book. I think it would not only do well there, but would help a lot of patients. While I was going through treatments they were selling RAMY's book and DVD, so I think they should have some Crazy Sexy Cancer too.....go check it out if you haven't already. They are super nice!<BR/><BR/>Let us know how it goes at the Farber and how and when I can help with the Outreach et al. It is in my blood to talk and inspire.....and it helps my psyche along the way too.<BR/><BR/>When you have a chance can you do an entry on food combining and some how to's and how not to's. My husband and I are always having 'food combining' conversations. We have so many books, but still find it overwhelming. Looking forward to Crazy Sexy Nutrition.....I find it so hard to figure out what to have for dinner....and what to serve the kids so they will not only eat but eat healthy too....if anyone has ideas PLEASE pass them along.<BR/><BR/>cheers (green juice of course!)<BR/>LauraLauraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297251594105378601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-87357593038418738842007-11-17T20:56:00.000-05:002007-11-17T20:56:00.000-05:00Hi loves!Massive squeezes to each of you!

Anyway, I had a slow response with Cysplatin and Gemzytabin this summer and now I am on Taxol, Avastin and Carboplatyn. Small response so far! BUT, I am always interested when someone says they're liver tumors shrunk. Mine are too big to do surgery or RFA at the moment and that is discouraging, but at least we finally had some response and apparently no spread....I am swearing by this new green in my life.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, Good luck!!!

He's 38 and was diagnosed with stage IV colon with spread to the liver in June. He's been through 4 initial rounds of chemo, surgery to remove 40% of his liver and part of his colon, and his now doing the follow-up chemo (he's completed one horrific round so far). I totally dreaded restarting chemo so I understand where you're coming from. Although it isn't me actually going through the exhaustion, nausea, neuropathy, and general malaise, it's horrible to watch someone you love go through it.

Only 20 minutes from my house vs. 1 hour. Dana Farber and the oncology unit at Emerson are affiliated, and my 2 oncologists were in complete agreement as to the course of action so it made sense to get the treatment locally.<BR/>I was diagnosed last Feb with stage IV colon cancer. Mets to the liver. I had colon surgery during which about 20% of my colon was removed and the fewer-than-thought lymph nodes. Followed by 12 week course of chemo. After the chemo, the 2 spots on my liver had shrunk dramatically (barely visible on cat scan) but surgery was recommended anyway. Surgery was in August. Pathology report post surgery showed no cancer. <BR/>I am currently starting a 2nd round of chemo (same cocktail as the last time). I thought a good long time about doing the chemo again. My Dana Farber onc. is a specialist in colon cancer that spreads to the liver, and he strongly recommended this (hopefully) final course.<BR/>I keep telling myself that, compared to others' stories, I tolerate chemo OK. There's no denying it totally fucks up your life, though. Mentally and physically. I get frustrated that I don't have the energy to enjoy a gorgeous fall day. Or, instead of hanging out with my kids who are home from college for the weekend, I really need to just lie down. <BR/>It helps tremendously to hear the "after the treatment" stories. Despite my whining here, my state of mind is actually very positive and good. Sense of humor is essential! This blog is essential! Veggie juice is essential!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-63535515342598665162007-11-16T17:29:00.000-05:002007-11-16T17:29:00.000-05:00ok just me... so is it the green taste like your d...ok just me... so is it the green taste like your drinking your lawn clipping part that is not working for you. Try this... I think of my favorite green salad and dont go bitter... say 2 cucumbers, squeeze of lemon, celery stalk, spinach, avacado. If you like mexican guacamole hit for that taster. remember the food combos you love .. what fav. salad dressing add some tastes to get you going.. cilantro will make it bright. and rosemary woody.. so stay away from woody. Mint would be lovely with the lemon and cukes.. take down regular cook book and modify your favorite reciepts or soups into your spring juice and it will be far better than a v-8 if oyu like a touch of heat add cayenne in small amounts and garlic. I love a savory breakfast so I love avacodo, cilantro, shallot, lemon juice, wasabi the radish not the paste, celery and turnip greens, makes you want to heat it.. as a matter of fact one of those spicey little 500 dollar vitamix mixers I am dying to have will heat it for you. Oh I will have ro dream for that until after xmas.. hope this helps..and remember you can add sprouts to anything hot or cold and they tend to take on the common taste in the food they are very food neutral. I have just been writing some reciepts for a friend who has to pack her lunch and delish...take nori for sushi and fill with wasabi root to taste, spinach, sprouts, cilantro, cucumbers and roll up a great mind morning pick me up that would make a great green drink. enjoy and peace and veggies and blessings.

This morning I took the pulp and ran it through my juicer 4 more times, and each time I got more juice! Is it OK to use lime instead of lemon? I just like it better. Can anyone tell me if the wheatgrass capsules are as good as the real thing, or close? My grocery store sells wheat grass in this little 4"x4" package, and it doesn't seem like that would go very far. And our local Smoothie King sells shots of it, but it is $2.00 for 1 oz.<BR/><BR/>Kris, I just bought your book yesterday, and I'm already half way done! I've needed some tissues, but I laugh a lot too. I just love that you aren't all polite and tip-toeing around the subject. Cancer is all around me. My Grandma is a breast canser survivor! (She Rocks!) My father-in-law is currently going through chemo for a tumor in his lung. I lost my step-father (he raised me) and last year my husband lost his mom, all to canser. <BR/> It has made me realize how fragile our bodies are. Srong, and yet so fragile, you know, and how we need to WAKE UP and smell the veggies!. The old saying you are what you eat! <BR/><BR/>JenniferJenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992325074642901758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6764485029612119391.post-53092814582747889612007-11-16T14:14:00.000-05:002007-11-16T14:14:00.000-05:00Hello everybody!!!

What local hospital are you going to other than the Farber. We should connect. I go back to the Farber every few months for follows ups and to visit my family who is in Wayland and Newton. I now live in Connecticut Are you having chemo at the Farber? If so, I know Dana 10 quite well. If you don't mind me asking, what type of cancer do you have? Be strong through these last treatments and treat your body right. I know how hard it is to resist certain foods during treatments, but do what you can and think positive. You WILL feel like your old self again, probably stronger. I have found that this horrible experience of cancer, chemo, radiation, scars and the emotionality of realizing the finality of life to have turned into a positive experience of health and vitality. Of course I look so different now. I have literally no breasts and am still growing in my hair from chemo. I feel different because of the hormone therapy I am on....but I can truly say I have a truly different outlook on life. I didn't feel this way during treatments, but now that I am continuing to heal and enjoy the daily pleasures of life I can say it and mean it. I feel fortunate to have had the resources of Dana Farber and now I feel just as fortunate to be part of this group of people who strive for full health and vitality.<BR/><BR/>I want to share with all of you the mantra from my Yoga class today. It was "That I am....I am that." "So H-am, H-am So" It was very spiritual being able to go deep inside myself and decide who I am and what I am. With each posture, stretch, breath in and out we said those words to ourselves. I know I am healthy, I know I will live beyond survival and I know I will continue to cleanse and heal from the inside. I know you all will too. Just checking into this blog and into each other is a huge component of our vitality. When the days get dark, and they will, keep checking in and remembering each other's survival. Have your veggies and drinks and continue to live for the moment, each and every moment. Be strong and kick cancers ass please!<BR/><BR/>PS: My 5-year old JUST (about 10 minutes) lost his FIRST tooth.....what a great reminder of the simple excitements and innocence of life. The look of accomplishment on his face was priceless!LauraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13297251594105378601noreply@blogger.com
