EMAIL QUESTIONS TO: eathealthy@grasslandbeef.com
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi Dr. Serrano,
I am 58 years old and was diagnosed with a
blood-based form of lymphoma almost three
years ago. I currently visit my oncologist
every three months and am doing fine. I am a
proactive type of person and want to do
everything I can to maintain the lifestyle
necessary to avoid cancer treatments if at
all possible. I have always been in very good
shape and have led an active lifestyle. I am
5'11" tall and normally weigh 155-160
pounds.
My personal regimen includes taking beta
glucan to enhance my immune system, barley
grass tablets to provide enzymes and
alkalinity, and for breakfast, a mixture of
flax oil and cottage cheese (along with
blueberries, strawberries and chopped
almonds) which has been proven to help
oxygenate one's cells. I also drink "Essiac
Tea," if you are familiar with that, three
times a day.
I have always eaten pretty healthily but
since the beginning of the year part of my
"anti-cancer" protocol has involved a strict
change in diet. I now avoid all sugar, dairy
products (except for the cottage cheese,
which loses it's dairy properties when
thoroughly mixed with the flax oil anyway),
gluten and processed foods entirely. I eat
grass-fed
beef about four times a week and
free
range chicken at least once a week. I
eat lots and lots of vegetables and some
fruit as well. With all the research I have
done in this area I have come to the
conclusion that, somewhat by default, I am
probably following the "Caveman Diet," if you
are familiar with that.
I figure I am consuming about 2500 calories
a day and taking in about 55 grams of fiber
per day.
The problem is that I have lost about 12
pounds since the beginning of the year. I
don't want to lose weight, I just want to be
healthy. My oncologist assures me that my
weight loss is not related to the lymphoma
and is most likely a result of my "diet." I
feel great but now weigh only 147 pounds. How
can I get back to my normal weight in a
healthful manner? I have noticed that
pemmican bars contain about 400 calories.
Could I safely and healthily eat a couple of
those a day to add some calories? On a side
note, it strikes me that pemmican
bars
probably could have been part of the "Caveman
Diet" in his day.
Any ideas you have would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks so much for this
opportunity.
John

Dear John:
Congratulations, John. You are doing an
incredible job by taking your health in your
own hands. I usually do not believe in
chemotherapy or radiation but I do recommend
these treatments for some types of cancers,
because they do work, and lymphoma is one of
them. You didn't tell me how active you are,
just that you are very active, and that is a
very important detail. John, I am very
familiar with all your supplements and I
would like you to add two more: Vitamin D,
about 5000 IU; and CoQ10, about 200 mgs,
because recent research showed their
anticancer properties.
John, the cottage cheese doesn't lose its
properties if you add flax seed oil; I
wouldn't use flax seed oil
because of your age and your condition. I
prefer cod liver oil or alpha omega 3, due to
the decrease in the enzymes that convert the
flax into the active form; however, flax
seeds are okay.
John, based on your weight and height you are
skinny, but besides calories, the other way
to gain healthy weight is by one or two
things: weight lifting and increasing fat
intake, not with polyunsaturated fats like
flax, but with monounsaturated and saturated
fats from organic sources, including nuts,
coconut oil, eggs, pemmican
bars, and real
organic
beef. In addition, your caloric
intake is that of an elderly lady so you are
under eating and you must eat more if you
want to gain weight. John, if you feel good
and have no symptoms, why worry so much about
your weight? You stated you feel great, so
why gain weight?
Good luck,
Dr. Eric Serrano
