Seven or eight years ago her doctor found a small mass in her right breast. It turned out to be benign, but her doctor recommended that she get a mammogram every six months to keep an eye on it. Guess what she was diagnosed with a few months ago?? Crazy huh? Thankfully, they've been able to remove the cancer from her breast, she is not doing any chemo (pure poison), and she's now eating a mostly raw vegetarian, living foods diet to ensure it doesn't come back. 

I've really been trying to eat that way as much as possible these days. It's what I always said I'd do if, god forbid, I ever was diagnosed with cancer. Why wait though. Now that the weather is getting warmer, it's easier to eat more fresh salads, vegetables, green smoothies and fresh green juices. I've also been dehydrating, making my own crackers, veggie/nut burgers, and even healthy cookies. Did you know most of the "life," nutrients, and essential digestive enzymes are lost in food once it reaches above 112- 118 degrees. You can still have warm food. 110 degrees is hot! (Think about a hot day in the dessert sun. That will get your food warm.) 

I've been making veggie/nut burgers and wrapping them in purple cabbage leaves, instead of burrito wrappers, with mixed greens, shredded carrot and daikon, avocado, and a variety of spouts. It's fun, simple and yummy, plus, I feel great! Raw dressings are also easy to make in a food processor and are delicious. They easily keep in glass mason jars for a week or two. To eat raw, you just need a few tools and a good book. I like Alyssa Cohen's book "Living on Live Food." 

Anyway, see if your health insurance covers thermography and schedule one in lieu of your next routine mammogram. As you'll see from the following mercola.com article it's not just for breast screening, it can detect any kind of inflammation (the beginning stage of all disease) before anything invasive is ever necessary. 

There's a better way. 

Love, Christine

Please read this article. I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Hope this link works:

(If the link doesn't work, go to mercola.com and search thermography.)
