You are awesome! And YES! Crazy is good (or I'm in big trouble!). Radiation is NOT. Actually, I underwent 20 treatments, then quit. They wanted me to do 36 because "that is the protocol we have been using for the past 15 years." Since that was the best reason they could come up with, and because my whole being shouted that radiation was not good for me, I quit AMA. I have never looked back. Like you, I keep my sight on what's ahead--and it's all good. Love--Mom Sheila—Your blog is great–I am so proud of you as I watch you live this every day. You are awesome! And YES!

Something along those lines. ;) I hope you're feeling better by now and regaining your strength. You keep sending those toxins on their merry way! (I invision you doing the musical number from South Pacific 'Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair' a la Gerson's Therapy..."I'm gonna flush those toxins right out of my body & send them on their way!") See! You don't have to experience a healing reaction to be a good bit CA-RAZY.

How does the coffee make you feel, you ask? The coffee actually works to relieve pain in the body. It helps with muscle cramps and weakness. Thank you guys!

Well said! Have to say that I looked funny at my friend who did coffee enemas for detox... Then I found out I had cancer...did not want the conventional treatment...I knew it would not be good for me...I headed right for the coffee enema, veggie juice and fasting. I feel better when I do it. My body totally loves it! I'm on my way to make some juice now...just stopped by for a visit. :) Love your blog! Yea Sheila! Well said!

OK, about the flax- Actually, Gerson is all about the flax oil. It is the only fat allowed in the diet. I am supposed to take 4 tablespoons a day! But I read all that scary stuff about flax too, I also read all sorts of good things about fish oil. For a couple of months I was taking fish oil instead of the flax oil. Well, I stopped doing that. Now I still don't eat the 4 tablespoons of flax oil straight up like Gerson recommends, instead I make a salad dressing with lots of flaxseed oil and have it at least 2x a day, on a salad or on a baked potato. I know, it's confusing. I still occasionally take the fish oil (every couple of weeks.) I think the thyroid problems associated with flax are taken care of by the thyroid supplements and the iodine drops in the program. Also, Gerson does not believe in sprouts or sprouted grain! That was a tough one for me since I had been eating sprouted grain bread and broccoli sprouts for years. Supposedly sprouts are no good for the immune system. As far as powdered green stuff is concerned- When I have to go somewhere (like a couple of appointments in a row) I pack a cooler with 8oz jars of juice, carrot and apple in separate containers. You have to keep them separated because of the different enzymes in each will keep better if they are not together. Make sure there is no air when you seal the jar, it takes a little practice to get it just right. Then I take the straight carrot in place of carrot apple and instead of green I have apple juice and then put a teaspoon of Kyo Green powder in it. You are really not supposed to jar at all with Gerson but sometimes that's just not realistic, especially with all the appointments cancer patients often have. I just try not to do it too much. Kyo Green is packed with the good stuff, young barley greens, young wheatgrass, chlorella, kelp, FOS, brown rice. You can get it at any healthfood store. Thanks so much for reading!I hope this helps!!! Hi Mary!

I will definitely try the Pure Life Organics but I am very surprised about using lavender ! Wow, I had no idea about this at all!!! I have been using all organic products BUT with lavender, like body lotions, creams, etc for it's calming effects but had no idea whatsoever that it can be harmful for estrogen related cancers! I took all that stuff and tossed it the other day - thank you!! You are soooo right about juicing: my pain was gone after doing Gerson dilligently for the past several weeks; these four days I have been very busy and stopped juicing and today - yeah! - the pain has returned. So today it's back to juicing and staying there for a very long time to come. I have a question: I know that Gerson does not include any flax in their program but I have been using sprouted flax for many years now. Just recently though I have found out that flax is not that good after all!! Flax contains Vitamin B antagonists and it contains Linamarin which breaks down into cyanide upon eating it! It also slows down thyroid - had no idea until now! So, now I stopped flax completely. Have you ever used flax or very popular now chia seeds? Some people use Vitamineral Green in their smoothies from Health Force Nutritionals - have you ever used it and what do you think about those powdered green supplements?? Thanks for your time and THANKS FOR YOUR TWO GREAT SITES: THEY ARE TRULY LIFE-SAVERS!!!! Mary Hi Sheila,

Sorry that you are having a reaction...but I know you will come out on the other side of it stronger. We 86ed our plans of going to the cabin the week after the 4th and were thinking about coming to see you guys sometime between the 9th-13th. I know that Ashley is going to be in Florida the end of that week...so I will get with her and see if she wants to drive down maybe the morning of Friday the 11th and spend the night if that's cool with you. Let me know. Love You Jim Hey, She. Sorry that you are having a reaction…but I know you will come out on the other side of it stronger.
