Guest guest Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 Hi Karen, I know someone who had skin cancer. Once he knew he had it he decided to sunbathe every day for 8 hours a day. This is in NYC. I'm not sure how long it took, but the skin cancer simply fell off. He was also eating a raw food diet at the time. From what I've read and heard, most skin cancers aren't even claimed by the medical profession to be caused by the sunlight. I'd say the sun is good as long as you aren't getting burned. But each case should be taken on an individual basis. To Your Radiant Health, Happiness and Fitness, Roger Haeske P.S. Are you having trouble staying 100% raw? Are you afraid of eating fruit? Are you sick of the time consuming effort of having to juice, sprout, dehydrate and ferment your foods?

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 I don't do any of these things. Just pick it up and eat it, peel it if necessary, maybe use a knife to cut it into edible portions. rawfood , " Roger Haeske " <roger2@m...> wrote: > Are you sick of the time consuming effort of having to juice, > sprout, dehydrate and ferment your foods?

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 My husband had localized melanoma skin cancer, which is the deadliest kind of skin cancer. My kids are also covered with moles. The only way to find out if a mole is cancerous is to biopsy it. Unfortunately with HMO's the doc does not want to refer you to a dermatologist because he loses part of his doctor welfare payment. He gets paid monthly for each patient, whether he sees you or not. So, it took us ten years to get the mole off because we believed the doctors who said it was not cancerous. They were looking after their pocket books and not our health. sadly, it is more costly if you let it spread. Anyways, I have studied alot about cancer in the last several years. What I have learned is that the people who seem to get skin cancer are the ones who have office jobs all week and are weekend sun worshipers. They burn easily. The gardeners and outdoor workers are ok. Also, I read that sun glasses are not good because they trick your eyes into thinking that there is no sun out and then you can burn easily. Of course, you may want to take that with caution if you think you have melanoma of the eye. What kind of skin cancer do you have? Also, I read a few quarts of carrot juice a day is very good for cancer. The natural betacaroten is great. Red bell peppers are also a good source of that. I am not a doctor and can not give medical advice. I have studies nutrition most of my life and believe that the more raw fruits and vegetables you eat, the healthier you will be. If you are not 100% raw, steamed veggies or even stir fried ones are better than nothing. The more veggies and fruits you can eat, the better. Fresh fruit smoothies, salads, romaine lettuce salads and a great variety of fruits and veggies and especially the green ones are best for me. Good luck on your journey.

Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 Maureen I was sad to hear about your father.My cancer was basil colliding with squamous. I have been almost all raw for three months. (I still eat fresh ground peanut butter and oil based salad dressings sometimes). I feel better. I've lost 25 pounds this year, 15 since going raw three months ago. I am glad to hear your opinion of the sun. I do not use sunscreen or glasses, Basically I have a lot of sun dammage from childhood, and have the complexion that is bad for this, freckles etc. Looks like I'm doing the right thing. I drind fruit smoothies every morning, fruit in the afternoon, and usually a salad at the end of the day. Thanks again for your thoughts.
