Hi.

Welcome to my blog. I write about the intersection between diet and health. Hope to give you enough information, to help you decide whether or not you want to change your lifestyle. Enjoy reading and learning!

Has Your Breast Cancer Metastasized?

Has Your Breast Cancer Metastasized?

Stay hopeful.

When cancer has spread from the original site to a different part of the body, it is called metastasis. The statistics can be grim for metastatic cancer, but there are many women who have lived 5-10 years after diagnosis.

When women are diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer, it means that the original tumor has metastasized. Sometimes this happens at the time of the initial diagnosis, other times it is diagnosed months or even years later.

Women who have survived their initial bout with breast cancer, often mention that in the back of their mind, they are always waiting for the “other shoe to drop.” The longer they go, that feeling begins to fade into the background.

Until… it drops…

Common secondary sites for breast cancer metastasis include the bones, the lungs, the liver or the brain. Even though the cancer has moved, it is still breast cancer.

Is there a way to improve your odds?

According to Dr. John McDougall, “Patients need to be told that even with advanced cancer, there is sometimes recovery, called ‘spontaneous regression.’”

He continues, “People with a body full of disease have recovered. Simple logic would lead to the conclusion that “such a miracle” is more likely to happen for someone in good health, rather than in poor health. The only way I know to consistently improve health is by replacing destructive habits with supportive ones. The most powerful of these necessary changes is the kind of food you put into your body.”

One such case of spontaneous regression Dr. McDougall has seen is the case of his patient, Ruth Heidrich. Her remarkable recovery from metastatic breast cancer, which had spread to her bones and lungs, was diagnosed nearly 35 years ago. Today she still lives cancer-free.

If you would like to improve your odds of a “spontaneous regression,” eat a no-fat, plant-based diet, get some sunshine and exercise.

This is a cost-free, side-effect-free treatment.

To get started, download Dr. McDougall’s FREE booklet, ‘Red Light, Green Light.’

If you have had breast cancer or you are currently in the throes of this horrible disease, I urge you to try a starch-based diet. You can find all the information you need on the internet or in books, but if you would like more help and support, think about attending Dr. McDougall’s 10-day-program in Santa Rosa, California. If you are unable to go to California for 10-days, but you still want some help, sign up for a “get-acquainted-phone call” to discuss my programs.

Best of luck and I hope to hear from you about your progress over the years!
