I arrived in Spain at 3.00am. Drank a Gin & Tonic on the beach and knew it would be MY LAST in a very long time.
If I wasn’t going back for the prescribed treatment for breast cancer I needed to come up with A PLAN.
WHERE TO START?
Cancer is a systemic disease, so it makes sense to look at the whole body, not just the tumour – that was my BELIEF.
I still had to start SOMEWHERE and the most logical place was FOOD.
That much quoted saying by Hippocrates in 460 BC
“Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food”
MUST have some truth in it, I began my research and my DETOX.
I stripped out everything I found that was linked to cancer. All animal products, including dairy, eggs, coffee & tea – I loved my tea with milk & sugar. Processed sugar, ALCOHOL – as a daily drinker this was really TOUGH. This was proving really hard and every ounce of my WILL POWER was being put to the test.
I started experiencing DETOX symptoms very quickly, banging headaches, nausea, anger, frustration, POOR ME, cravings – especially for the BUILDERS TEA!
Everything I put in my mouth I Googled to see whether it was good for cancer or bad for cancer.
I made teas from fresh herbs and ginger & lemon, I drank water, I didn’t get dressed for days, wandered about the apartment in my pyjamas, I was so ANTI SOCIAL!
I wasn’t a huge fan of the world at that moment in time!
10 weeks I did this for, day in, day out.
No Cheating!
I began to realise that along with food, I needed to work on my MINDSET… So that’s what I did next
