It is under people beating cancer, I believe. Sorry
Has anyone decided to forego conventional treatment and just stick with a nutritional diet with basically a vegan diet? There are several success stories by āCraig beat cancerā by high intake of juiced vegetables.
I agree with the above.
Actually, I deeply distrust anyone who promises the moon. So many of these advocates who do that have their own axes to grind and something to sell to you.
I began feeling peripheral neuropathy shortly after my last chemotherapy session several months ago and it has only gotten worse. One of my life's passion has been playing the guitar and that is no longer possible. It saddens me and I was told that this condition may never go away. I've tried accupuncture, electric treatment, massage, qigong, yoga, cranberry juice and tart cherry juice. Any more suggestions?
Thanks for the answer Paula. I'll look into the nutritional yeast. I sure as heck don't plan on being on drugs the rest of my life. š
Does anyone use protein powders and or amino acid for recovery from exercise. I have asked my oncologist and he is neutral on the subject. Thanks, be active itās a great weekend to get out.

Severe pain in both feet and hands
Irma,
I drink Cashew milk because I am allergic to milk. Try almond milk too. Or you could add a teaspoon of Nutritional yeast to orange juice. My nephews like it on their popcorn.
How have many of you faced the emotional challenge that this journey encompasses. If seem itās hard for us, to allow ourselves to navigate through this part of the journey
I asked my Oncologist nurse what could I do to gain and maintain weight.
I am allergic to milk products and diverticulitis of the large intestines.
They know this. Yet they recommended Boost or Ensure. Neither of which I can drink.
Does any one have any idea what I can use?
I'm eating but only because I force myself to do so. Yet I'm unable to maintain weight.
TIA
IMY
Thatās what I purchased for myself, but they have different flavors if I am not mistaken.
