HRT - Increased Risk of Breast Cancer

An excerpt from an article on CNN Health, October 19, 2010...

A study published in Journal of the American Medical Association confirms that postmenopausal women who take combined hormone replacement therapy (HRT) are at an increased risk of dying from breast cancer.

"Women on combined hormone therapy with estrogen plus progestin were twice as likely to die from breast cancer compared to women receiving placebo," says medical oncologist and study author Dr. Rowan Chlebowski.

Read the TIME article here - The Organic Alternative

The picture of this farmer spraying pesticide on strawberries should be alarming to us all.....this is what you are ingesting unless you are buying organic. They are suggesting in the article that you can really wash your produce well....but, what about the pesticide that the plant absorbs??

Yes, dear friends, you are ingesting that too....

If you get an opportunity to hear Robert Cheeke speak, definitely make the effort as he is GREAT! He was recently in N. VA, and was super informative and down to earth. Check out his webpage here and his book is also excellent for those of you interested in a hot bod! (Uh-yea, I think that is all of us!)

Raw Food Panel Discussion, April 25, 2010

I participated on a raw food panel and the discussion was about "Raw Transformations". I, of course, spoke about my cancer journey and how it intertwined with my unplanned raw food journey. It was also nice to share (for those without a health challenge) that I have also effortlessly lost 15 pounds since last March. Everyone's story was wonderful and inspiring...

It was an interesting Sunday afternoon to say the least and I am very grateful that I was able to tell my story and perhaps provide somebody with some inspiration to improve their own personal journey in some way. Here is a picture of the four panelists...

Thoughtful Riley

Love this photo I took of Riley the day he purchased his own Wii with his (7th) birthday money. He looks so contemplative and yet so at peace. I love it in black and white, and wanted to share it with you all. My baby.

GREEN DRINKS!

I have been asked over and over what my current daily drinks consists of, so I thought I would go ahead and get back into posting a bit on my blog. Please know that I am leaving all the previous posts on this blog concerning my various daily regimens over the past 3 years, but none of them mirror what I do now, after my Hippocrates Health Institute visit in November 2009.

So, here is my daily green juice regimen - 3 green drinks a day. Also, at least 1 wheatgrass shot a day (should be 2).

One green drink in the morning (simple):

12-16 oz cucumbers
very alkalizing

Two afternoon drinks:

12-16 oz each
Cucumbers, celery, garlic, ginger, and then whatever I have on hand like chard, broccoli, kale, etc - eventually I will get a twin gear juicer and will add sunflower sprouts. I also add green algae (E3Live) to the midday green juice.

Surprisingly, these take hunger away and really satisfy you! They are sooooo good for your body!

Slurp it up baby!

Three Year CanServersary!

Today, March 15, 2010, is my three year canServersary for my initial breast cancer diagnosis. I celebrated by just yelling out into the universe, "It's my 3 year anniversary if anyone cares!"...I did get two responses back from the family of two - "WE DO!"

That was all I needed to make the day all good - no more no less.
