I've been reading the posts on this group for quite some time, but
haven't posted. Regarding Weston Price, there is no doubt that he
did some excellent work in studying people and diets in primitive
tribes. However, it seems to me that what primitive tribes in
isolated civilizations ate years ago has little to do with what
someone with cancer in our highly civilized cultures should eat.
I don't see the point in posting about the diets of primitive tribes
or the diet recommended by the Weston Price Foundation. Even though
the WPF has many good recommendations, they are focused on healthy
people, not people with cancer.
From reading the purpose of this group, my understanding is that it
is supposed to be about alternative cancer treatments.
This discussion about whether The China Study or Weston Price offers
better advice seems out of place here. Neither author worked with cancer patients and how to help them overcome the condition.
What I find helpful is information about how people in our complex, stress-filled, polluted civilized world have been able to combat cancer. I appreciate the messages that others have offered on this topic. We all seem to agree that overly-processed, refined food products are not good for us. From what I can tell, modern research and scientists concerned with health are recommending a plant-centered diet with more fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Plus, it's more than diet, it's also learning to relax and avoiding stress and stressors, developing a philosophy of thinking and feeling positive about ourselves and our lives and having a supportive community of family and/or friends that we can talk with and enjoy.
