You know I agree whole hea...Kimberly - oh my love. You know I agree whole heartedly with everything you are saying. As I just said on Facebook to another post on the subject: "These movies have not made a huge impact on my eating. However, I eat TONS of veggies and have for years... so it was more life-affirming than it was life-changing for me. It did give me more foder for my constant food/nutrition addiected mind though... which is always cool. lol... And I do love seeing what food trends come out that are actually promoting *real* food. Paleo, Primal, Forks Over Knives... none are better or worse in my opinion... becuase they ALL promote eating real, whole, living food. Yay! Bring on the livng food!"<br /><br />*smooch* Praying for you Kim. <3<br /><br />Blessings,<br /><br />ValVal in the Rose Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13891260349692305609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-13405077246372365992012-02-17T12:36:12.356-08:002012-02-17T12:36:12.356-08:00As you can imagine, with lymphoma I've been re...As you can imagine, with lymphoma I've been reading like crazy on the subject. There actually *are* doctors who are doing wonderful things without chemo or at least low-dose chemo and other alternatives. Strangely enough, one of the best books I've read on that subject is by Susanne Somers (!!). She interviewed quite a few of the most successful researchers who are having great results with alternatives in "Knockout".<br /><br />And as to the meat thing - there has never ever been research on the cancer and meat link that wasn't done on CAFO meats. I personally think meat is in no way the culprit, but all of the ::bleep:: that is in/done to meat in industrialized countries. When you look at traditional societies that eat plenty of meat, but not the horrible CAFO meat that we've consumed, the cancer stats are equivalent to veg societies. Anyway, soapbox here :-). Grass-fed organic meats are part of my arsenal :-).Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06915296389588265724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32434721.post-26542871530560808982012-02-17T07:15:21.284-08:002012-02-17T07:15:21.284-08:00Nessa that is AWESOME!

We've been "Plant Strong" since September and for both my husband and I we both lowered our cholesterol by over 50 points so far on diet alone. More than any drugs have done for us. We feel so much better and healthier. So glad you got to see this movie! ;o)Nessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06445582866952410180noreply@blogger.com
