My Adventure Starts

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in Dec 2006 and had surgery in Jan 2007. Just this week I finished the last of 33 radiation treatments. Meanwhile, I have been reading and reading and reading. I have gone on the web and to health food stores. I have talked to nutritionists and people into alternative and complementary medicine.

It felt important to me not to be a passive victim and to meekly just do what the doctor tells me to do. I felt I need to be informed and to be part of the decisions.

Ultimately I feel like my life is in God's hands and I am not in any way diminishing his power. He has the power to heal in any way he chooses. I am depending on Him. However, there are things I can do to help.

That is what this blog will be about. I want to help people avoid getting disease and to help people become healthy again. I want to share my research and experience and make it easier to put together a healthy way of life.

The most shocking thing I learned is that 1 in 2 men will experience cancer in some form and 1 in 3 women will. 1 in 8 women get breast cancer. It is easier to stop an invader before he has gotten a foothold inside the defending walls. So take these tips as precancer tips if possible.

Here is the first tip-- get a water filter and drink lots of filtered water. Do not let yourself become thirsty. Sip water all day long. Stop all pop and artificial drinks and drink water. It will start tasting good. Add lemon whenever possible. Start with this step and do it for a week and you will find yourself loving water. Do not ever use any artificial sweetener in your drinks or at all--only a slice of lemon.

The spiritual tip that is related to the above physical one is this: immerse yourself in your relationship with God. If you don't have a relationship, start one. The book of John and 1 John are good resources on how to do this.

Then talk to God and listen to him talk to you. He talks to you very personally in the Bible. Tell him anything and everything, then listen to Him by reading the Bible. As you begin to understand the Bible as a book of living principles then you will be drinking the water that your spirit needs regularly.
