On October 1, 2023, I embarked on my life changing adventure to save my life! For 90 days I’ll be eating (and drinking) 100% raw (organic) fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. That meant goodbye cheese 😭, goodbye Diet Coke, goodbye chicken and goodbye candy and ice cream! Someone told me when I was first starting off “You can’t do this with fear, it needs to be a joy and an adventure.” I embraced that attitude and dove right in.
Luckily, I had purchased the Chris Beat Cancer course so I wasn’t going in completely blind. He has his course broken down into 10 easy to follow modules (I highly recommend it if you need a healing or prevention guide). You can find more information at www.chrisbeatcancer.com. He also has some amazing testimonies you can listen to here: https://chrisbeatcancer.libsyn.com/
So, what was my diet going to look like if I was juicing/eating all Raw Whole Food/Plant Based foods? Well, the first 90 days will be a “morning green light” drink, 64oz of juice (I bought a high-quality cold press juicer, the Nama J2) that I make each morning and drink throughout the day and 2 BIG salads.
My morning green light drink is 20oz of Jason Winters tea, 1/2 of a lemon squeezed, 1TBSP ACV, along with Moringa Powder, Alma Powder, Cranberry Powder, Spirulina Powder, and D-mannose Powder. These are all organic cancer fighting power houses and a great way to kick off my day!
For my 64oz of juice I started with and have stuck to Chris’ recommended juice recipe which includes (all organic) 5 pounds of carrots, 2-3 whole beets, 5 granny smith apples, 2 lemons and 5-6 ribs of celery. All this along with 1-2 knuckles of turmeric, ginger and 1-2 cloves of garlic. There are other recipes I can rotate to if/when I need to mix things up but so far, I’ve stuck with this one.
I’ve been asked so many times “why so many carrots”? Here is a great explanation! https://adventureswithjodi.com/is-there-anything-a-carrot-cant-do/ And for those of you wondering...YES I'm turning orange!!
My 2 BIG salads a day consist of whatever fresh organic veggies and fruit I have on hand along with 1-2 tablespoons of organic sauerkraut (an awesome probiotic), some raw/organic sunflower seeds, a special blend of cancer fighting spices such as rosemary, oregano, tarragon, turmeric, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if I want to add some spice), garlic powder, onion powder, really any organic seasoning that I like.
I know this sounds like a boring diet, eating the same thing every single day but I’m finding that I’m actually enjoying it….and I feel FANTASTIC!
I started all this faithfully on 10/1 and on 10/10 my oncologist ordered blood work. I had this exact blood panel done on 9/20, just 3 weeks prior. The difference in my blood markers in just 3 short weeks was mind blowing! Truly amazing results. Everything, but my RDW (a sign of anemia), including my cancer markers was back in the “green” and my RDW was barely high, only 1.8 above normal range.
So there’s my daily diet that I enjoy each day. What happens after the 90 days? Well, that depends on my next scans which my oncologist will order when I see him on January 15, 2024. I can tell you with 100% certainly that I will maintain this type of healthy relationship with food forever. No more binge eating, no more sugary drinks, no more candy, no more booze…I don’t need it anymore. I don’t need it because part of my healing has included healing my mind, my spirit and forgiveness, forgiving everyone but mostly forgiving myself.
Until next time…..keep joy in your mind and heart!
Much love and many blessings,
Ali
