Even
though I studied nutrition and diet and observed and palpated clients for so
many years, still, I'm blown away watching the process of my body changing
under the care of a clean plant-based diet. The most interesting thing was
when, after several weeks, he went to Dana Farber and I went for my 'He's at
Dana Farber. It's kind of hard" Meal.
Afterward, I felt all anxious and lousy and my ears roared a bit and my eyes got gritty and my lymph filled and my belly felt crappy for days and I felt sluggish and achey when I woke up in the morning all stiff and old feeling and I was much more tired and less present and I inflamed more and it was harder to run and I didn't feel like it as much and I felt like having more and more crap food while I was feeling so lousy from having some.
Yup. That's the way it goes. A plant based diet isn't necessary, but it is one way to redirect our bodies, which listen very well, toward a slow wise rebuilding and repurposing and cleansing. And if we have accumulated excess fats and garbage, we begin to divest ourselves in a slow wise way the body
knows how to do, all by itself, if we stop overloading it with tough stuff and begin just giving it the goods.

It changes the whole focus of the
organs and systems. It's not for everyone, and it doesn't have to be forever or
any decisions like that.
It is the biggest dietary change known so far to initiate Radical Remission for people with difficult cancers, to get them out of the woods and NED (No Evidence of Disease). Many of them choose to continue to eat this way, or eat a 98% plant based diet (Chris Wark of Chris Beat Cancer), to give their health all the help it can use to stay NED and not be prone to remissions and pretty predictable secondary cancers.
Most plant based diets don't include any ground up grains (think about that for a second. Ground up grains shoot through our metabolism and are high glycemic, whereas cooked rice or other grains are digested slowly and more thoroughly.
Plant based diets don't include sugar. They can include Maple Syrup and Honey if you wish.
Ours includes Eggs, because otherwise, my husband would go completely nuts.
It ends up being kind of an interesting Rubrics Cube, where you spend time figuring out spice combinations and any ideas that fit in the plant based box, for having fun and satisfaction.
Everything begins to taste MORE, which is nice for someone doing chemo especially, but still, to get excited about Swiss Chard? Maybe you've been there before, but it's a first, for me. I'm like "Wow! This is amazing!"
But those are all ideas. For me, myself and I, its simply very helpful parameters that calm and soothe my impossibly agile and wiggly and neverending monkey-mind, that otherwise would be racing about like nuts finding the way in, to go back to all the really fun, lousy feeling, illness producing foods.
