Hi all, I've had two biopsies now. The first took me 6 weeks to get over. My body just wasnt right and I was weaker, had less endurance, more fatigue. While I was not diagnosed with any infection, my...
Thanks for the links. Seems to me that every month now the medical advances to fight all cancers are accelerating. I'm not sure I can ignore that fact if the AS vs treatment debate is anywhere near a...
First - thanks for everyone who contributes to this forum. Amazing community! Im 45 - and all my tests are looking better than when I was diagnosed 16 or so months ago. I am leaning heavily toward AS...
Note that the difference between raw steel cut oats, soaked, and cooked is the amount of oxidization/breaking down of the grain that occurs. The more that occurs the higher/faster sugars spike after...
Ak123 - looking at your dinner - it looks like other than the fish days you dont have any fats? IF this is true and IF this diet works that might be it. Nuts/olive oil might be good to add there if...
