Change In Diet and Daily Routine

So immediately after I was diagnosed I began doing research and, along with the help of my wife who is well versed in holistic and alternative healing, began implementing changes in my diet and daily routine.

I switched from drinking coffee to green tea.  The catechins are the anti-cancer components in green tea and I read that you don't want to brew the tea at boiling point because it destroys them at that temperature.  A comprehensive study details catechin content results based on brewing temp and time and the sweet spot is around 176 degrees for 20 minutes.  The longer it brews, up to 80 minutes, the more catechins are present but who wants to wait that long to drink their tea.  So I'm using a thermometer to microwave the water to that temp (just over 2 min) and then steep the tea.  I also read catechins are better preserved with vitamin C.  They recommend adding citrus to your green tea, the best being lemon.  So I'm doing that as well.

I'm drastically reducing if not wholly eliminating refined sugars, alcohol, red and barbecued meat since they all contribute to cancer growth.  I'm using the anti-cancer oil my wife blends.  She also told me that cancer thrives in an acidic environment so I should try to get my body chemistry more alkaline.  She ordered me test strips to determine my pH and recommended and eat more fruits and vegetables that aren't acidic.  A quick Google search provided other ways to become more alkaline.

Apart from that I'm working hard at being positive and reducing negativity from my life.  I'm continually open to all possibilities and options to beating this thing.

I'll close with a quote my wife texted me in the middle of the night..."A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles."  I am grateful for everyday that God gives me.
