Hi,

I have been listening to the 2nd Annual World Cancer Summmit online. It is a series of lectures from leading alternative therapy experts. I have not posted it previously because it is kind of off topic for AS. It has been very sensible and grounding and by no means quackery, very very interesting.

However todays is particularly relevant in that Max Gerson discovered through developing a diet to stop his migraines it also appeared to heal the immune system. I haven't listened to it all yet because it is only available to listen to for free till 8pm New York time tonight. I wanted to give you guys a chance to listen to it if you so wished. I have found the transcripts of last years online so I should imagine they will be available free at some point. Yesterday a journalist was speaking and what he had to say about drug trials was interesting.

I have googled the list of foods and at a quick glance it looks very much like the sort of foods that would be used in a juice fast. There are interesting comments as to why certain foods are excluded so that your body may heal such as all fats excluded except raw flaxseed oil.

I know this is known as a cancer diet but it may be another approach for healing the gut? Completely against the grain for such as the SCD and GAPS diet in that it excludes animal fats etc.

Another interesting thing that has been a common theme throughout the series is a positive outlook. In order to heal you need to deal with any conflicts you may have and stresses etc. Easier said than done unfortunately.
