4. Ah. I wasn't sure. Some people pooh-pooh the China study. (Silly people, right?)

I wasn't sure whether you were in that camp.

That book, and the books by Esselstyn and McDougall were real life-changers for me. I went from being a sickly 50-something getting worse each year, to a very happy, healthy, vigorous and energetic 70-something who never felt better in my life. At 50 I couldn't walk across the street. At 72 I walk, jog, bicycle miles every day.

At 50 I felt either awful, or on my good days, so-so. I never had that terrific "I feel wonderful!" experience that I now have every day.

She has been vegan for many years. And she lets everybody know.. (One of those types. LOL, but she's my sister.)


So during and after my 3 months of chemo, I went vegan. for a little more than a year. Since then I do eat some meat, but not much. More fish, then some pork and chix,, almost zero beef.. I found that, having grown up in NJ in the '50s and '60s I can more easily stay on a good diet with a little meat.. it's like.. what...Like a little hit...:&gt I mean in NJ we ate dirt, man !

But because of her influence I have found some dynamite vegan restaurants.. mostly in NYC, LA area, etc..
I actually cook a lot of real Chinese, almost every night for almost last 2 1/2 years..... mostly Sichuan, some Shanghai, Guangdong and Shangdong mixed in..

have been cancer free since Sept 2012 knock on wood..

Dr G backs all his info with medical journals on nutritional research not hearsay or fake science.. Great site, non commercial..
Nutrition based medicine.. what a concept.. Like Hypocrites, the founder of modern medicine said "let food be thy medicine"... YMMV works for me..
