What am I doing?

What am I doing? I get this question all the time. So, I'm making a list. But, before I post, I want to state adamantly that I am not providing this as a template for others to follow. Every person is unique. The first thing I'm doing should be universal, but after that, it will depend on many variables how one should proceed.

The following are the steps I've taken (roughly in the order shown; the protocols I am still adhering to have an asterik beside them):

*1. Prayer (I heed my Creator who knows how I am made and shows me what changes to make).

*2. Positive Outlook. Appreciating each day for what the LORD has provided.

*2. Dietary restrictions (some of these things I was not doing and therefore I did not have to stop doing them): no smoking, no alcohol, no sugar, no dairy (except goat kefir & goat chevre), no peanuts (high in estrogen), only raw walnuts, raw almonds and occasionally raw cashews or pecans, no table salt (this, and the 'no sugar' restriction pretty much eliminate all processed/packaged foods); I do use Real Salt, no soy (not even lecithin), no juice (unless I juice it myself from organic carrots, granny smith apples), no artificial sweeteners (I do use Stevia and honey in small amounts), no chocolate (but I do use some raw cocoa), no coffee (or at least only using it as an occasional flavoring), no black tea (but I do drink one to three cups of organic green tea daily), no refined flour (I am almost gluten free, but only due to this restriction), no white rice (but I use brown rice and quinoa), no russet potatoes (but I do eat a few red potatoes and lots of sweet potatoes), very little citrus (except lemons), the fruits I eat more often are bananas, cherries, blueberries, and pineapple, the only oils I use are extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil (and sometimes grapeseed oil), the only animal proteins come from free-range soy-free eggs, grass-fed beef, pastured poultry and pastured pork, wild caught sardines, and organic turkey... The primary source for these restrictions, but not my only source, is a site: foodforbreastcancer.com

Foods I eat often and in quantity (due to anti-cancer properties): kale, spinach, onions, garlic, cauliflower, broccoli, collards, sweet potatoes, black beans, quinoa, lemons, tumeric, green tea, olive oil, oregano, black pepper, blueberries, raw almonds, raw walnuts,  zucchini, yellow squash, green garlic, tomatoes...this is a partial list...

*3. Probiotics, Pancreatic enzymes, and goat kefir (to aid digestion and absorption).

*4. Making sleep a priority (I try to get 8 hours, but 6 is more usual; this is a bigger factor in how effectively our body functions than most folks realize).

*5. Supplements: A, B, C, D3, E, Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc, Wheatgerm oil, Flaxseed oil (as part of Budwig Protocol), Kelp (for iodine)...I was taking more supplements early on, but decided that my improved diet was supplying enough beta carotein and some other things that I was lacking previously.

*6. Water. Only filtered water.

*7. Reduced stress. Weight loss (these happened gradually and naturally with lifestyle changes).

*8. Built strength through walking (in sunlight when possible) and by undertaking increasing farmwork at home.

*9. Organic Sulfur Water (MSM) w/Vit C. (protocol on cancertutor.com)

10. Mushrooms (recommended by nutritionist)

*11. IP6 (recommended by nutritionist)

12. Chiropractic adjustments due to constriction in spine at neck that interferes with transmission of important signals to body.

*13. Bible study, recognizing the LORD gives me daily exercises in trust, reliance and gratitude.
