Health and Nutrition Strategies For<br />
Cancer Survivors and Everybody Else<br />
WHAT’S IN YOUR DIET?<br />
My life’s mission and passion is about mitigating<br />
cancer, and its effects. When I hear terms like, “I’m<br />
fighting cancer”, and I’m cancer-free, I’ve wondered what<br />
it means? A few years ago, when I facilitated a “Man to<br />
Man” prostate cancer support group we often discussed<br />
those subjects to develop strategy’s.. It was always<br />
inconclusive. Here’s my take.<br />
Fifteen years ago when I was diagnosed, my cancer<br />
mentor and brother Mel, helped me to understand that<br />
the best strategy to fight cancer was NOT to cede your<br />
control of your health. The group agreed and added that<br />
your medical advisers or team are your hirees..You’re<br />
buying their services, they’re providing you with their<br />
expertise and options, You are the decider.<br />
The support group also thought it imperative to have<br />
a Comprehensive Treatment Center’s opinion as part<br />
of your decision making process, either as your primary<br />
source of information, or for a second opinion. Comprehensive<br />
cancer treatment centers (there are 70 in the<br />
U.S.). They are the best providers to determine the most<br />
effective strategy for you. That might be radiation, chemical,<br />
hormonal, immune or watch and wait observation,<br />
their opinion will inform your local provider.<br />
I chose John’s Hopkins (Sidney Kimmel Clinic) for my<br />
cancer team, because of their propensity toward a<br />
dietary-link based strategy, and their easy commute. I<br />
tested their dietary assertion by participating in a phase<br />
one and two clinical trial testing muscadine grape skin<br />
capsules. It controlled my cancer for over two years.<br />
I’m convinced. Cancer cells are tricky, their strategy is<br />
to mutate and adjust. Your challenge is to counter that<br />
adjustment with your own adjustment. My strategy to defeat<br />
their adjustment is by using food.. To me that means<br />
strengthening your immune system. Strengthening your<br />
immune system means strengthening your diet.<br />

As far as ‘the term “cancer-free”, I’ve never been an<br />
advocate or understood how the term got into use. It’s a<br />
misnomer. A surgeon might say he removed a lesion or<br />
tumor and announce “I got it all”.<br />
Cancer cells are microscopic. So you got microscopic<br />
maverick cells in your bloodstream looking for weaknesses<br />
and ways to evade your immune system. In our toxic,<br />
carcinogen laden environment, everyone has cancer cells<br />
at some level. Nobody is cancer free,it’s just non-detectable.<br />
Next month I’ll be 80 years, and I’ll be developing strategies<br />
for the next 3 years. I’m beginning an adventure<br />
in a 62 and older community (Overture,VB) . My new<br />
neighborhood provides enough food options to optimize<br />
my diet, to levels I’ve never approached. I have access to<br />
products like impossible (vegan) burgers, and nondairy<br />
cheese. I’m thinking about alternating a modified Mediterranean<br />
with a vegetarian diet, and monitor my blood<br />
work which I do quarterly. Medicare and a supplement<br />
will cover the cost.<br />
<strong>Final</strong>ly, I thought I should recognize “The Green Bronx<br />
Machine” as a top ten Health and Wellness program in<br />
the country. These are inner city kids growing food and<br />
exporting their expertise all over the world.<br />
Food, must be focused on to mitigate the effects of our<br />
increasingly polluted environment.<br />
Before we get into that, I wanted to give a shout out to my<br />
cancer mentor, and brother Mel who helped me formulate<br />
strategies and perspectives to manage my cancer. .<br />
As far as “cancer free” is concerned, I’ve never been an<br />
advocate or understood the terminology.<br />
