In Healing Basics you will discover how to Prevent Cancer or its Recurrence, Achieve Ideal Weight without Hunger, and Build the Foundation of True Health. This book explores why Americans' health has deteriorated drastically in the last several decades and takes us back to basics of diet and lifestyle to prevent further decline and improve current health conditions.
The author entered her cancer journey with almost forty years of experience in dealing with multiple food allergies, both her own and those of many friends and clients. She emerged from cancer determined to discover how to have the best possible cancer outcomes for herself, her special-diet companions and for those who eat "normal" food.
She learned that an intensely nutritious whole-food diet for cancer is also good for allergies and inflammatory diseases. The control of blood sugar and insulin levels necessary to prevent stimulating cancer cells is the way to lose weight without hunger and maintain ideal weight, and thus is helpful for those with diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In addition, she learned that dispelling feelings of helplessness (which depress the action of natural killer cells), a toxin-free lifestyle, moderate exercise, and correct breathing can improve outcomes as well.
These lessons and experiences were distilled into the practical help given in Healing Basics including:
- 157 recipes, 95% of which can be eaten by those who are on gluten-free diets or must avoid food allergens, but which will be enjoyed by everyone
- How to deal with food preparation when strength or time are in short supply
- A 24-pages "Sources" section to help you find prepared foods that fit your diet. This section also includes sources of special food ingredients, products, services and information
- Tables of glycemic index values for over 225 foods plus information on how to implement a glycemic control diet and achieve stable insulin and blood sugar levels, both to prevent stimulating cancer cells and to achieve and maintain ideal weight without hunger or deprivation.
Healing Basics also presents well documented information to help you choose medical treatments wisely and explore natural strategies to use along with conventional treatment or alone. You are not helpless. You can and must take charge of your health, make your own well-informed medical decisions, and help yourself.
