Decent conventional & 'must have organic' foods

soundingchimes
 

Hi all,

I have a great book called "Fresh Choices" by David Joachim and
Rochelle Davis which is part cookbook and part informative book on
sustainable agriculture. It tells which produce is best consumed
organic and which is okay to eat conventional with minimum pesticide.

I made this list for my own use. I hope that this helps some of you.

Cheers
Devon

Eat Conventional:
Bananas, plantains, pineapples, mangoes, papayas, kiwi, honeydew, U.S.
cantaloupe, Grapefruit, oranges (without peel), lemons (without peel),
limes (without peel), blueberries, blackberries, U.S. grapes,
tangerines, watermelon, plums, asparagus, avocados, broccoli,
cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, eggplant, okra, onions, peas,
radishes, sweet corn (non GMO), chard, romaine lettuce,

Eat Organic:
Apples, pears, peaches, nectarines, cherries, red raspberries,
strawberries, apricots, spinach, peppers, celery, potatoes, tomatoes

Check for "non GMO"
Canola, Corn, Soy, Cotton,

Check for "rBGH free" or "rBST free"
in dairy products, choose organic when available.


Re: Need help with the fermented cabbage and pineapple combination

Hi,
According to my new raw food recipe book, the gray stuff is normal.
Here is a quote from the recipe for cultured vegetable recipe:

" When you uncover the vegetables (after 5 days of fermenting),the
top may be a little moldy. This is perfectly normal. Take a spoon and
scrape the top layer off."

Hi again,
Nancy's organic cottage cheese is also kosher.

Too much FO?

rivkah lewis
 

I recently purchased an awesome recipe book called Elaina's Pure Joy
Kitchen. She has a lot of great recipes that use FO. I am wondering
if I eat these meals w/fo in addition to the FO/CC if I might be
overdoing it.
Here is a sample recipe:
1 bunch of Kale
1 bunch of Chard
1 med. red onion
2 cloves garlic
2 med. avocadoes
1med. zuccini (julienned)
Marinade: 3/4 c flax oil
1/2 c. lemon juice
1 tsp. celtic salt
Remove stems from Kale and Chard and break into bite sized pieces.
Pour marinade over leaves and mix well. Squeeze leaves well with
your hands to help soften them. Mix the rest of the ingred. into
bowl with marinade and let sit for an hour or more.
She also has recipes that use soaked flax seeds, depending on the
gelatinous quality to add substance to a dish.


Re: cost of Nancy's cottage cheese

Hi,
I get organic low fat cc at Trader Joe's store for 2.99. Some of the Trader Joe's carry Nancy's as well for the same price, but I haven't found Nancy's at all stores.


Re: Another check up visit and tests - "No trace of cancer" - Multiple Myeloma

 

Hi Melanie,
Cony came home from his last hospitalization at the end of January
2006, when he was declared terminal, with 6 months or less to live.
Around that time I found out about Dr. Budwig's protocol. However, it
was not possible to fully implement it on Cony. He was way too sick,
nauseated all the time, with an acute gastritis not allowing him to
eat fresh veggies and fruits, extremely depressed and struggling with
shingles. At that time, most days he could not have even a full
portion of fo/cc the entire day, or any other food, without vomiting.
Being on Morphine, because his tremendous pain, and being extremely
weak because of the disease, he was sleeping a lot during the day, and
staid awake a lot during the night when he was continuously coughing
and expectorating. For these reasons, in that period he was taking
supplements, drinking herbal teas and he was having fo/cc as much as
he could tolerate, which was equal to approx. one portion per day
only. Although we eliminated at that time the bad foods and oils, he
was not on full protocol. Even like that, in couple of months he
improved a lot and was able to go to full protocol.

So, to answer your question, he's been on full protocol since
April-May 2006. Not long after that, we dropped all supplements and
staid with BP, herbal teas (which in fact are part of protocol) and
the drink I make from aloe juice, honey and wine. In time, he's got
progressively better, being declared in "partial remission", "good
partial remission", and now, "no trace of cancer". We are very happy
and pleased with the results, and of course we will continue with the
protocol.
Some of my first messages regarding Cony's condition and status are
#35524 #36163 from last year.

God bless!

Re: Update, LDH down

 

Hi Eric,

Even a couple scones couldn't interfere with all of your efforts.
Many congratulations! I'm glad you are feeling great.

For Georgetta, please kindly let me know how long has your husband followed a regimen of FO/CC to have such a wonderful result? Your news is very encouraging!

My mother's been eating FO/CC and taking herbal capsules for 3 weeks. Her blood test yesterday showed a decrease in CAA 19 9 from 1,200 to 780 and an increase in CEA from 17 to 27. CT scan showed stains in lung and liver - Please kindly advise if you have any idea about those stains, are they begining forms of tumors? what's exactly CEA and CAA 199 - I know that they're cancer cell marker but I wonder why they are so different in the blood test. I appreciate very much for your help.

God Bless.


Re: OT--ROOTS CANALS

 

Dangers of Conventional Root Canals

"[Dentist Weston Price (www.WestonaPrice.org)] removed those canals of
people suffering from kidney and heart disease and in most cases their
condition improved. Then he inserted the root-filled teeth under the skin
of rabbits who have immune systems similar to humans. If a small fragment
were inserted, within two weeks the rabbit died with the same condition the
human donor had. If a large fragment was inserted, the rabbit died within 12
hours to 2 days."

"Dr. Price observed that angina pectoris, phlebitis, hypertension,
heart block, anemia, and inflammation of the heart muscle are
frequent side effects of root canal therapy. He also reported that
he would sometimes see heart patients with outwardly normal-
appearing root canal teeth resolve most or all of their symptoms
upon removal of those dead teeth [H. A. Huggins, DDS, _The Price of Root
Canals_, Colorado Springs, CO, Huggins Diagnostic Ctr, 1994]....New research
shows that dental infections are behind hardening of arteries, heart
attacks, strokes, and spontaneous preterm births (Morton Walker, D.P.M.
[1999] _Elements of Danger: Protect Yourself Against the Hazards of Modern
Dentistry_, Hampton Roads, p. 40).

"infections persist for years w/o the patient's knowledge...toxins
leak out and depress the...immune system, leading to chronic
degenerative diseases....Weston Price, D.D.S., M.S., F.A.C.D.,
former Dir. of Research for the Am. Dental Assn. [for 14 years],
made the astonishing claim that if teeth that have had root canals
are removed from patients suffering from kidney and heart disease,
these diseases will resolve in most cases. Moreover, implanting
these teeth in animals results in the animals developing the same
kind of disease found in the person from whom the tooth was taken.
Dr. Price found that toxins seeping out of the root canals can
cause systemic diseases of the heart, kidney, uterus, and nervous
and endocrine systems...research has demonstrated that 100 percent
of all root canals result in residual infection" (_Alternative Medicine: The
Definitive Guide_, Burton Goldberg Group, 1993, pp. 81-83;
alternativemedicine.com).

"Cavitations are infected areas in bone surrounding the roots of teeth. They
usually come from infected matter in root canalled teeth. When a DDS does
root canal therapy (RCT) s/he sterilizes and fills the vertical pulp canal -
about an inch long - and leaves infected the approximate 3 miles of dentinal
tubules that cannot yet be treated..full of
infection - that will continue to release toxins, viruses, etc. into the
blood stream for the rest of your life..Infections from this source affects
your entire immune system.. The infection exudes from the root to the
supporting jaw-bone..For a more complete description request our report `Can
Root Canals Make You Sick?' [include your mailing address]

"I have had a number of patients with breast cancer, all of whom had root
canals on the tooth related to the breast area on the associated energy
meridian." John Diamond, M.D.
"the reason being that dead teeth [which root canals are] will scatter
toxins throughout the body, apparently following the meridian that they lie
upon"

"chronic headaches for 20+ years. She had 5 root canals under her nose.
She had them extracted and when she did the dentist had to open all the
windows.The smell was of death. He put one of the teeth under my nose to get
a good smell and I almost threw up..After they were removed, her chronic
headaches were gone for good." Larry, www.notdoctors.com

"I developed ovarian cancer six months after my first root canal....I
cracked a tooth...infection in my gums. That led to a second root canal. My
tumor marker immediately doubled, and tumors jumped in size, etc. Had the
teeth extracted. The older one stank, and the second one had a cyst full of
pus beneath it. Two months later, my tumor marker is dropping rapidly."

"study of breast cancer patients and I found that over 98% had a disturbance
on the stomach meridian....In about 150 cases of women with breast cancer,
we only had 3 patients who did not have a root canal in a tooth that belongs
to the stomach meridian...So we did a study of women in the same age range
without breast cancer, without chronic diseases, and only 30% of that group
had root canals" Thomas Rau, M.D., Chief Medical Dir., Paracelsus Clinic
www.beating-cancer-gently.com/nl89.html

"looked at 50 cases of breast cancer....the breast lies on the stomach
meridian...in the breast cancer, if you have a tooth with root canal on the
stomach meridian, which is the 6th tooth from the front on both sides, the
molar, if you have this root canal treated, it can be a blockage which can
disturb the breast. I have seen about 50 cases...all of these 50 patients
had a blockage on the tooth belonging to the stomach meridian. Mostly it was
either cavitation problems after extraction of the teeth which was not done
correctly or it was a root canal....If you had 100 women with breast cancer,
would you expect [at least 90] to have a tooth involvement....We saw similar
things also in prostate cancer....the front teeth....There are a lot of
prostate cancer patients who do not have front teeth problems. But in the
breast cancer, we did not find a single case without." Thomas Rau, M.D.

"Dr. Rau estimates that in 90% of breast cancer patients he has treated,
there has been a dental infection. As the breast lies on the Stomach
meridian, if you have a problematic tooth (such as a root canal) situated on
this meridian, as it passes through the jaw it blocks the flow of energy and
can cause degeneration and eventually cancer, Dr. Rau explains. To a lesser
extent, a dental infection is also involved in the development of prostate
cancer."

Re: Swollen neck nodes

 

I have lymph nodes where the cancer once traveled too. And depending on the angle in which I check them, I can get ALL different sizes and shapes. Try sitting in EXACTLY the same position when you check. Try making the same neck muscles flare or not flare also. Hope that helps. :)

Re: Brain tumor re-growth

O yes and he naps daily but usually gets to walk around the block a few
times and goes out to see friends at church or parties.....he is still
highly social and depsite not speaking well still tries to talk to
everyone - his mood is excellnet its really unbeliveable to me.....


Re: Brain tumor re-growth

Meredith W.
 

Thanks you so much Martha for taking the time to write so
thoughtfully! I do not feel chemo or radiation will give him better
quality of life either as they claim and might make his suffering
longer. He is a Christian and is very at peace with his situation. I
am one too but I dont have that - he feels God has really given him a
gift of peace- he is very okay about it all! Although he doesnt KNOW
in his heart one way or another what will happen to him. Soemtimes I
feel like I am deluding myself that this could happen for us but other
times I feel like this WILL happen. He and we so want to be right and
show the drs. a thing or two like many of you are and also to be a
blessing to help others facing this same situation.

I had the same thought today - that "tumor" could be something else. I
doubt its necrotic b/c he has had no radiation only the glaidel wafers
in his brain....

His diet is basically all out of the Oil-Protein cook book. Sauerkraut
juice in the AM along with Essiac tea, Quark the recommended number of
times a day, in a variety of ways, berries - especially raspeberries
and blueberries....raw veggies for lunch snack, outside for an hour or
so of sun....champagne with flax in teh afternoon....dinner - groats,
veggie broth lightly cooked veggies or quinoa and beans and veggies
and lots of Oleolux on everything,,,we put raw manchego cheese on hot
meals and for a snack...saurkraut for meals/snacks...lots of raw
veggie juiicng, mango/papya occasionally....

He does snort curcumin and feverfew dissolved in coconut oil up his
nose and he is going to start a homeopathic called ruta 6C and Cal
Phos which is known to work on Brain cancers...he takes melatonin at
night - I'll have to check with my mom for the rest. he did take
supplemnets and Im not sure if he is off those or not......he takes
prozac and an anti-seizure med that we cant take him off....steroids
are next if this keeps growing....which are very bad and protect
cancer cells.....
He also uses an elctromedicine device similar to a Vibe machine.....

Thanks! Meredith


Re: Brain tumor re-growth - Martha

 

Martha,
My name is Lynne and I am the sister of Meredith's step Dad, Tim. I have been reading the posts faithfully since joining this group sometime in June, but have only written in response to one of them so far. Thank you for all of your thoughtful suggestions, information, insights and encouraging words. A friend of a friend has written a book entitled "Painless Cancer Cures and Preventions Your Doctor May Not Be Aware Of", which she sent to me at the beginning of this journey. (After Tim's 2nd surgery, June 12). She is a licensed R.N. with also a B.B.A. majoring in Managed Care. Her work in the medical field along with the loss of three family members to cancer exposed her to the "horrendous and discouraging effects that her family members and patients suffered from chemo and radiation " and she "started to question the appropriateness of conventional cancer treatment". As a result. she "began an intensive study of alternative cancer therapies which culminated in this book". After receiving her book and reading it, I wrote to her and asked her if she knew then what she knows now, what would she do. She responded that she would first go on Budwig Protocol and then she would take her loved one to the Burzynski Clinic in Texas, along with other things. I've said all of that to ask the question: does anyone out there in this group know of anyone going to the Burzynski Clinic and if so, what can you tell me about the experience?

Tim has an incredible attitude, trusting and believing that all of what he is going through is all a part of God's plan, and is set on making sure that whatever happens, it all give glory to God, somehow. He is extremely compliant with the BP and doing his part and watching what will happen next. He is at peace with excepting whatever comes as God's will. It's a little more difficult for the rest of us, though. So, thank you so very much for your caring heart, support and prayers, as we know that is where the only true power is.

Re: Brain tumor re-growth

 

Meredith,
I am sorry that the news from the new MRI is not better. Recalling the
reports and doctors' comments from my sister's GBM journey, a few
things come to mind.
First, we know little more than your S/Dad had surgery in June for GBM
where they were able to resect the tumor. I also recall that he had
a "chemo wafer" in the tumor site.
More specifics may be helpful as well, but also perhaps writing out his
daily foods/ intake and activities may help some "good eyes" in the
group find things which might be helpful concerning the protocol.
I do remember at least twice I came across patients whose journey was
similar and showed a regrowth (or questionable area), which when
additional surgery was done, it turned out to be necrotic tissue... so
what seems bad now, is not without the chance of error. One was Tom,
Another long term survivor who had a
regrowth is David M. Bailey. I think I could actually come up with one
or two more as well.
A quote I have had to remind myself of at times, which a vet told me
once, "Where the is life, there is hope." Often when things look bleak,
better things are just around the corner. It has been that way with
several on this list... For you and your S/Dad, don't give up hope and
don't resign yourself to believing the doctor's prognosis. Someone has
to "scue" (not sure if that is spelled right)the odds! Who better than
your S Dad?
I am not sure I would give much credit to the doctor's comment about
the chemo and radiation... My sister did agressive treatment with chemo
and radiation til the cancer took her ability to swallow... I know the
quality of her life suffered because of the side effects of the chemo
and radiation. This comment is to neither discourage or encourage, just
hopefully any decision is well thought out and researched and not made
out of fear. There have been some good posts lately adressing that very
thing. People in general, make poor decisions when they make them out
of fear.
Your post regarding the upcoming MRI spoke of him still working at
overcoming the effects of the last surgery, but overall feeling well.
His feeling okay is encouraging, even though I know you would love more.
I pray that some doors will open soon that will be real encouraging for
your family. Also, I pray for your S Dad's healing and that you each
feel God's loving arms supporting each of you as you search for more
help.
Your family will be in my prayers tonight.
Martha

My step-dad's brain tumor has grown back according to the MRI, we have
been at the BP for a little over 2 mos. This is so discouraging. They
said he has about 3+ mos to live and they wont be good ones with no
radiation or chemo. Ya know the brain is very different from other
organs and in many ways not as forgiving as it is teh central computer
for the whole body. When their is regrowth or swelling it can kill. So
we are trying to figure out whats best. We know radiation only delays
and seals the deal in most cases, so we want to keep going with BP but
there is so little time for it to work. He had a full resection - has
anyone here started BP with a full resection of their tumor - had re-
growth and then tumor shrinkage? Its one thing to see swelling but
this is growth where their seemed to be nothing before?
Any thoughts?

Thanks! Meredith

Re: Need help with the fermented cabbage and pineapple combination

 

What happens on the 6th day while the cabbage and pineapple
combination is fermenting and the white fuzz that appeared turns to
GREY fuzz, and worst yet, you never stirred it once during the whole
6 days. What then? Is this still salvagable? Is it still safe to
eat or drink? Or should I just pitch it? I have scooped off the
strange looking material at the top and dumped that and then I took
a knife, which reached the bottom, and stirred it. Before I took
off the strange looking grey fuzzy material that formed the top I
did notice that it shrank a bit, around the upper sides of the
bottle. In any event, I'm trying to figure out whether all this is
still okay to eat or drink? I guess you drink the stuff not
eat it? Right? Basically you drink this in the morning?
I'm new to the cabbage stuff.

As each day passes the liquid will get more sour. I like to keep it

Trish, Sydney, Australia

From: Eric G. Wruck
Had more bloodwork done & for the first time since my lymphoma relapse
last fall, my LDH is in the normal range. It fell from 207 (three
weeks ago) to 179. According to the Ohio State lab, normal is
100-190. Needless to say, I am thrilled! I was actually kind of
worried since I had been on vacation & strayed a little. I did have
my focc twice a day & some vegetable juice daily (but less than at
home). However, I confess that I did sample a couple scones that the
English proprietress of the B&B made for afternoon tea (they were
superb but after that I boycotted the teas). On the plus side, I got
a lot of sun at the beach & got to bed earlier than usual.
In September I'll repeat the CT scan & get a more definitive idea of
what my lymphoma is doing. For now, I am optimistic. I continue to
feel great. I'm so glad I found this group.
All the best, Eric
