Great Post guys. I am doing the nutrition & Supplement approach after Surgery, 70 rounds of Radiation and concurrent Chemo. Almost killed me. Once well enough to start eating again , I started mostly healthy food and about 7 months ago got serious about it. There are 2 basic concepts I think to consider 1. Get the body working again properly - this means the immune & digestive systems, liver and kidney function as the key players. 2. Give your body all the right nutrition and don't consume harmful foods.
I use a bunch of selected supplements and vitamins which have helped get the 'systems' all working again (and they are ;o) and i have eliminated all the bad stuff from my diet. Note the difference in the approach. I don't focus on what I can eat, I focus on what I DON'T eat, and that is simple.
I do NOT eat and I suggest you don't either : any animal products (Meats Dairy Chicken eggs fish), no processed foods including white four, rice pasta (only whole grain), no fried foods at all, and finally NO SUGARS at all unless they come in fruit and vegetables. If you gasp as say "I can't do that', then that explain a lot about your current diet and maybe inherent problems.
Try this for 3 months and take it seriously and then evaluate your condition. You will need to select you supplements and maybe a nutritional supplement as you need to address both steps. It's not hard and is worth the effort. I consult with a very good Naturopath along with my own research.
There are more and more stories popping up on these board from people who have had success through nutrition, diet and supplements, and they need to come forward and share their stories as many are afraid to post as they are often attacked by ...well idiots, who for what ever reason think alternative treatments and nutrition are forms of witchcraft. THis post is not for them, but for those who want a better chance at surviving this ordeal.
Best to all,
