      This simple straightforward story provides invaluable insights into how, by taking their healing into their own hands, following the science of nutrition and healthy living, cancer patients can reverse the damage built up from years of typical Western diets and behaviors, to produce dramatically better outcomes than by leaving their health entirely in the hands of their doctors. Conventional medicine plays a role in healing but certainly not enough to solve this lifestyle-driven disease. The author explains very simply and clearly how one goes about filling that gap. For example, which supplements to take and which foods to avoid, since medical doctors are taught nothing about nutrition in medical school so say nothing to patients about it. I found this book to be a very useful starting point in taking my healing into my own hands. Many thanks to this author for writing and distributing this groundbreaking little book. Every cancer patient must read it!

    I’m Not Feeling Very Good

    I’m very much average. My entire life has been spent in the middle of the road. Most of us don’t want to admit that we are average, but unfortunately, too often, that is the truth. With me being one of the masses, and just average, you probably want to know how I was able to beat pancreatic cancer. Was it the fact that I was treated with radiation, surgery, and chemotherapy that I survived? Perhaps! However, I seriously doubt my experience with the standard three regimens offered as a pancreatic cancer cure at the time was the only reason that I survived my maladies. When I was diagnosed (1996), the two-year survival rate for pancreatic cancer was less than five percent. The five-year survival rate was less than one percent (these statistics haven’t changed much in the last twenty years).

    The reason I have survived, and I say this with confidence, is because when I reached my fifth-year survival anniversary, I specifically asked each of my doctors if they would take credit for my being alive? The answer I received was a resounding NO! Each doctor did tell me they would love to take credit for my unusual results but in all honesty, they couldn’t. However, the one thing that each one of them did tell me was, Whatever you are doing…don’t stop. Being a good patient, I took their advice! I have never stopped my regimen I began at the very beginning of my cancer treatments. That regimen came about after I read several books about cancer (all kinds of cancer and not just pancreatic cancer) and incorporating a lot of common sense. My cancer regimen is the subject of this book.

    I’m not sure when my cancer developed, but I’m positive it was over a period of time (it has been estimated that it takes cancer at least ten years to grown into a one-centimeter mass). I know I gave the cancer all the necessary tools to manifest itself because of my lifestyle. I ate all of the wrong foods — a lot of meat, anything fried — and I was a very heavy drinker. I found myself to be forty-plus pounds overweight with combined cholesterol levels around three hundred forty. My triglycerides were even higher. My family doctor put me on Lipitor in order to reduce my cholesterol. I took Lipitor, a statin drug, for just two
