Hydrogenated Fats, High Fructose Corn Syrup-No No
I was listening to KNX 1070 in Los Angeles early this morning (I can get it until sun up). They were talking about a new cancer breakthrough. Of course the addendum was that it was unaffordable, even to the insured. That gives me the chance to reiterate: probably the only cancer therapy that you can afford is dietary changes. Read "Anticancer", by that French doctor. I am not a "survivor" yet officially, but have a good start.

I just buy a store-brand cheese pizza that's not too saturated fatty and add garlic for sure, onion, fresh picked Chanterelles (I'm in the Pacific Northwest).

Blend, keep running blender & drizzle in 1 cup + 2 T more canola oil. You will see when you get mayo easily enough=1 PINT. This worked well, electricity went off & didn't need any. (The mayo was in the 'fridge' already).
1/2 organic apple.
Supper: INDIAN STEW ON INDIAN DUMPLINGS-RECIPE (4 stars):
Dumplings-1/4 cup cooked green peas, 1/4 cup plain yogurt, 1/8 cup cashews chopped, 1/8 cup cilantro chopped, 1/2 T grated ginger root, 1/4 t salt, 1/2 cup instant farina, 6 T boiling water, pinch baking soda, 1 T canola oil, (optional) 1/4 cup shredded coconut.

DAY 5 61 grams protein, 27 grams fiber
Breakfast: Oatmeal, ditto.
1 cup soy milk.
1 banana.
Lunch: Went to find a healthy restaurant meal. It was challenging but we did swell. I had 2 mesquite grilled cod tacos (corn tortillas) garnished with cilantro, raw cabbage, onion with a side order of black beans & jack cheese. Pretty good on the antioxidants there. 1 1/2 Dungeness crab cakes as an appetizer. We estimated this meal at 39 g. protein and 12 g. fiber. The wife had vegi tacos, so less protein.
Supper: VEGETABLE PENNE SOUP-RECIPE (3 stars):
2 t extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 cup mushrooms chopped, 2 organic carrots diced, 1 onion chopped, 3 cloves garlic minced, 4 cups organic vegetable broth, 2 cups chopped bok choy, 3/4 cup penne pasta, 1/4 cup parsley chopped, 1/2 t turmeric/black pepper.

1/4 cup organic raisins.

1 cup cooked pinto beans, 1 jalapeno pepper seeded and minced, 1 T cider vinegar, 4 large corn tortillas, 1/4 cup soy or organic cheddar cheese, 1 tomato sliced, 2 cloves garlic minced, 1/2 t turmeric/black pepper.
Puree beans, pepper, vinegar. Spread bean mixture over tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Add sliced tomatoes, garlic, spices. Fold tortillas in half and press flat. Heat the tortillas in extra virgin olive oil (or use non-stick pan without oil) pressing with spatula until golden (about 2 minutes per side). Cut to serving triangles=4 SERVINGS.
DAY 7 68 grams protein, 29 grams fiber (with chicken dinner)
Breakfast: 3/4 cup healthy (9 g. protein, 8 g. fiber is nice) antioxidant breakfast cereal.
1 cup soy milk.
6 oz. yogurt.
1 banana.
Lunch: Clif "Builder's" protein bar. I'm stuck at work with no time for lunch!
Supper: BLEW IT, ATE AT WORK. Following is what I should have had.
2 stalks steamed broccoli.
CHAR-GRILLED VIETNAMESE CHICKEN WITH RICE-RECIPE (5 stars):
4 organic chicken breasts, 3 T brown sugar, 2 T soy sauce, 1 t garlic powder (chopped garlic would be better), 1 lb. organic Jasmine rice, 2 organic carrots shredded, 1/2 cup chopped fresh mint leaves, 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions, 1/4 cup agave nectar.
Cut chicken into 1" pieces. In shallow bowl whisk brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic. Add chicken, turn to coat. Marinate 30 minutes.
Fill a large kettle with water & boil rice until tender. Drain & rinse cold. Transfer rice to serving dish and toss with carrot/mint/scallions.
Remove chicken from marinade and brush with agave nectar. Grill/broil chicken. Turn frequently until cooked through (about 10 minutes). Place chicken on rice mixture & drizzle with dipping sauce=6 SERVINGS.
Sauce-1/3 cup fish sauce, 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 cup boiling water.
In a small bowl whisk together ingredients.
EVEN WHILE MISSING LUNCH, THIS DAY ILLUSTRATES THAT NUTRITION CAN BE SERVED.
ADDENDUM: While I did blow it a few times (during this particular week) I remained true to the spirit of good food nutrition. If these 3 meal ideas are divided into 4-6 tiny meals, much the better. In the end I decided to cross out the days (in order). It doesn't matter what day, just mix it up and eat antioxidants. One can't have a five-star meal every night, even on steak and pollutants.
Don't worry about serving size too much for supper. My wife figures me for 1 1/2 servings.
Yeah, you'll learn to like oatmeal, a perfect food. I thought bananas were a perfect food also, until they said I had proctitis. So I limit bananas a little.
I was a meat eater (like you), roast beef every Sunday, "Cheez-its" really did hit the spot. I like my new diet better, after acclimating easily.
Coffee in the morning gets stevia powder (1/8 t is enough) and USDA certified organic Half & Half or soy milk.
Look for the ORGANIC over USDA label.
A square (10 grams) of Lindt's 70% dark chocolate is allowed every day. It goes good with organic raisins and nuts of course.
Green tea is a "must" idea. (As much as is tolerable).
Add 50-50 turmeric-black pepper to everything to spice. Spare the salt. Oregano is the #3 antioxidant spice, nice on pizza, with basil.
Butter is less toxic than oleo. Just use sparingly, it's a fat.
Kashi crackers and cereals make good snacks, as do organic cashews. I bake the raw organic cashews at 300F degrees (sprinkled liberally with cinnamon, the #2 antioxidant spice) for 1/2 hour. Nice! Almonds are the healthiest nuts to eat. I'm sure you know that cashews aren't really nuts.
"Duanwood Reishi" from Dragon Herbs is my favorite Chinese herb. Their Gynostemma tea is sweet and helps with longevity in humans.
Beans, we just buy them organic, dry and cook our own. Navy and Black are the healthiest.
If I must have cookies, I eat Newman's, but they get stale fast due to lack of preservatives.
Microbrewed beer is a slight weakness.
FINALLY, we don't find our new diet to be more expensive than the traditional American nightmare.
Carbs average less than 300 grams daily on antioxidant diet.
Oh yeah-drink plenty of clean water daily

Will You Won't You Want Me to Make You
I heard on the radio something in regard to the Republican House trying to repeal the health care bill (or Obama Care). A fellow was testifying that the bill is so wonderful for him because insurance companies can no longer cap his lifetime benefit payments. His meds are 18K a week. You read that right. Doesn't anyone think that the price of his meds might be the primary problem? Just me? Do they cost the drug manufacturer 25 cents a week? Where is the disclosure to the American people? Well maybe when the patent expires he can get the stuff for half the price. The pursuit of life and liberty are a little rough for him at half price. Congrats my man, but illegals could numb the pain much cheaper.

Mass Suicide/Genocide Not "Safe if Taken as Directed"
The sing-a-long song is not too long: "Never wanted to live forever, never wanted to die in pain."
Anyone who doesn't agree with that tune, go read a different article.
What's this all about? I got cancer. Of course I did. Both of my parents died of cancer, just like yours did. It's genetics stupid!
What's this all about? I got cancer. Of course I did. Cancer is 15% genetically induced. Cancer is not 150% genetically induced stupid!
I have read the most uplifting and depressing book. It turns out I had a choice not to get cancer. It turns out that we are just pleading to get cancer in this country.
I checked out the food in my kitchen. Keep in mind that my family thought we had become "health conscious" since my diagnosis. (We never eat fast food.) Still, my cupboards and refrigerator is full of poisons: energy gel, vitamin C (dissolvable tablets), vegetable shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, confectioner's sugar, sweetened flake coconut, chocolate chip cookies, canned garbanzo beans, chicken bouillon, apricot jam, mayonnaise, canned chicken noodle soup, canned wax beans, dry packaged soup, bread crumbs, peanut butter, clover honey, cooking spray, packaged hot cocoa mix, fish sauce, active dry yeast, non-dairy creamer, sweetened breakfast cereal, milk chocolate covered raisins, oatmeal cookies, buttermilk pancake mix, packaged gelatin dessert, vanilla extract, mirin, frozen pizza, vegetable bouillon, frozen green beans, pork tenderloin, sweet & sour pork, sourdough hoagie buns, crushed-wheat hamburger buns, frozen corn, canned ranch-style beans, pizza sauce, sports drink, beer (ale), pickles, half & half, canned spaghetti sauce, frozen cranberry juice, diet root beer, yogurt (dairy), salami (Genoa), cheddar cheese, muenster cheese, apples, unsalted butter, tortillas, red bell peppers, potatoes, chipotle mayonnaise, green taco sauce, worchestershire sauce, steak sauce, chutneys, sweet relish, strawberry jam, grated parmesan cheese, ketchup, salad dressings, pancake syrup, bar-b-q sauce.
Now, the non-poison list is shorter. (And just try making a menu here.): organic beets, probiotic capsules, yellow mustard, harissa, ginger root, frozen organic blueberries, frozen organic raspberries, frozen organic cherries, frozen organic pumpkin, soy milk, lemon, lime, free-range organic eggs, oranges, sauerkraut, organic zucchini, organic cucumber, onions, garlic, cabbage, broccoli, mushrooms, ground cloves(#1 antioxidant spice), oregano (#3, dried leaves), turmeric (#4), protein bars, reishi mushroom extract capsules, bananas, walnuts, pecan chips, dried garbanzo beans, home-made chai tea mix, jasmine rice, whole natural almonds, extra virgin olive oil, oatmeal, white vinegar, green tea, various dry spices, black pepper, cinnamon sticks, maltodextrin (stevia), baking soda, t.v.p., unsweetened powdered cocoa, dried basil leaves (#6), mustard seed (#9), cumin seed (#7), dried marjoram leaves (#10), fresh (dried) sage (#8), dried parsley flakes (#5), cinnamon (#2, ground).
We also have our list of "unknowns". Well, you get the idea.
The important book is: "Anticancer" by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, Phd. What's it all about? Antiangiogenesis and anti-inflammation. Read it BEFORE you get cancer. If you have or had cancer and don't know what to do here it is. David is living with cancer because of his research.
Feeling like a pariah is not the answer. Chili con carne is apparently not the answer. Coke (all three kinds) is not the answer.
The book is by definition not all encompassing but it is an excellent reference.
Maybe my non-malignant wife can live a long life. This book will help her.
As an example of what this book has done for us, we felt more comfortable in our bodies immediately (next day!) after switching to low glycemic sweeteners. I would not have believed it if I wouldn't have felt it with my own being.
Drink green tea. Eat turmeric. Exercise. Reduce stress.
Maybe my son will not get cancer. IT'S NOT ALL GENETICS STUPID!
Oh, I have one thing to add to the book: Get a good mattress.
You know I think many of us generally think cancer, chemo., death.
Not necessarily. Perhaps it can be cancer, nutrition, life.

(And just try making a menu here.): organic beets, probiotic capsules, yellow mustard, harissa, ginger root, frozen organic blueberries, frozen organic raspberries, frozen organic cherries, frozen organic pumpkin, soy milk, lemon, lime, free-range organic eggs, oranges, sauerkraut, organic zucchini, organic cucumber, onions, garlic, cabbage, broccoli, mushrooms, ground cloves(#1 antioxidant spice), oregano (#3, dried leaves), turmeric (#4), protein bars, reishi mushroom extract capsules, bananas, walnuts, pecan chips, dried garbanzo beans, home-made chai tea mix, jasmine rice, whole natural almonds, extra virgin olive oil, oatmeal, white vinegar, green tea, various dry spices, black pepper, cinnamon sticks, maltodextrin (stevia), baking soda, t.v.p., unsweetened powdered cocoa, dried basil leaves (#6), mustard seed (#9), cumin seed (#7), dried marjoram leaves (#10), fresh (dried) sage (#8), dried parsley flakes (#5), cinnamon (#2, ground).
We also have our list of "unknowns". Well, you get the idea.
The important book is: "Anticancer" by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, Phd. What's it all about? Antiangiogenesis and anti-inflammation. Read it BEFORE you get cancer. If you have or had cancer and don't know what to do here it is. David is living with cancer because of his research.
Feeling like a pariah is not the answer. Chili con carne is apparently not the answer. Coke (all three kinds) is not the answer.
The book is by definition not all encompassing but it is an excellent reference.
Maybe my non-malignant wife can live a long life. This book will help her.
As an example of what this book has done for us, we felt more comfortable in our bodies immediately (next day!) after switching to low glycemic sweeteners. I would not have believed it if I wouldn't have felt it with my own being.
Drink green tea. Eat turmeric. Exercise. Reduce stress.
Maybe my son will not get cancer. IT'S NOT ALL GENETICS STUPID!
Oh, I have one thing to add to the book: Get a good mattress.
You know I think many of us generally think cancer, chemo., death.
Not necessarily. Perhaps it can be cancer, nutrition, life.

Reliving, Regenerating the Life
I thought about letting my GCC (possible recurrence, diagnosis Jan./'10) rule me for the next 5 years, but not for long. I think that I will go hiking and mountain biking instead. For me this means moving back to the rural Great Basin Desert (I love the starkness and daily dangers even if they are not disease related), consequences be darned insofar as no availability of medical facilities. 5 more years of old growth forest green would drive me nuts. I am available for itinerary management for the back country of the G.B.D., including Az., Col., N. M., (epicenter) southern Utah, if any survivors would be interested. I know the sights (like the back of my hand) not available to traditional "tourists", including ancient American Indian archaeology & art, hiking, mt. biking, and geologic astonishments.
If anyone is interested, leave a comment and a way to reach you.
Visit my website here.
example:
"SPOOKY, PEEK-A-BOO & (Dry Fork) COYOTE GULCHES"
If you are claustrophobic, there is no way that you will handle Spooky Gulch narrows. I was walking sideways and I weigh 150. It is so narrow, locals say, rattlesnakes drop in from the top, as they cannot sense the chasm. Stick to Dry Fork Coyote Gulch's narrows if you don't like it tight. Nonetheless, Spooky is awesome, if indeed intense. Peek-a-Boo Gulch presents natural bridges (almost immediately from the south end, which is the access here described).
Steve Allen has a nice loop description in his "Canyoneering 3" (hike 19). It includes the southern ends of Spooky and Peek-a-Boo.
It's hot and dry (except when it flash floods) in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. Be cautious.
To access this area use the Dry Fork Coyote Road (high-clearance), which is 26 miles south on Hole-in-the-Rock Rd., to the left or easterly. Hole-in-the-Rock begins just east of Escalante, Utah, off of Rt. 12.
The hiking trail begins at the parking area, 1.7 miles down DFC Rd. The trail northeast will be marked, as it is popular. Do not get on the sand dune as you pass right of it. Stay right and descend into the gulch. When the Dry Fork Coyote Gulch is reached, Peek-a-Boo is the first slot on the left, as you travel down canyon, or east in Coyote. A climb up into Peek-a-Boo is required. Spooky is about 15 minutes east of Peek-a-Boo.
Brimstone Gulch is the next slot downstream from Spooky, but we did not explore it. It is difficult, as are the northern reaches of Spooky. Further along yet, past Brimstone, is a side canyon that contains a natural bridge.
Less tight are the narrows of Dry Fork Coyote in the opposite direction (up canyon), where a loop can be made to the parking area by exiting DFC Gulch left and hiking cross country SE to the vehicle.
I have no time designations for the area hiking. When the water is half gone, return to the vehicle. This is more a photographer's playground than a hike. But it is challenging.
Approximate mileages from trail head: Dry Fork Coyote Gulch 1/3 mi., Peek-a-Boo Gulch is a very short walk down canyon, Spooky Gulch additional 1/2 mile dc, Brimstone Gulch additional 1 mile dc.
If you want to see more of Dry Fork Coyote Gulch, use the Red Well Road. It travels east, 30.7 miles south (down) Hole-in-the-Rock Rd. The trail head is 1.3 miles down Red Well Rd. Dry Fork Coyote confluence is left, a half hour down the trail, as it heads east.

PASTED & PLASTERED
One of 2002's Best Films - "Spun"
First if you need help:
www.methrehab.com/meth_treatment
My own personal preface: I will always feel that "crank" chefs deserve the death penalty.
Having said that I will proceed.
I'm just a bi-polar old man but I think this film is so hilariously nasty that it is a must-see.
"I can smell the snail trails all over the store."??? If you are not familiar with that phrase it's in here. It is uttered by one of the quintessential Spanish sleaze princesses. Let's see, what else? The decongestant used to make speed is kept behind the counter as it is supposed to be. But the clerk has no problem selling thirty bottles at a time, as long as it is for a good cause. I almost busted my stitches when the nude blonde in the handcuffs was blank down below, a la 1950's mens mags or "Barbie". We can see a meth factory, but no hair please. A brilliant commentary. This whole epic is an absolute symphonic cacophony.
WARNING: Careful with that axe Eugene. This one is a hard "R" rating. I mean R leaning on X.
If this movie isn't a cult classic it deserves to be. Don't get me wrong. I'm not nostalgic for the homemade poison which it revolves around; never got into it, thank goodness. I did some equally dumb things maybe. Want to snort some aerosol spray cooking oil?
Sometimes it helps to laugh at this mean world. This movie did make me do that. Edgy would be a mild description. I rate it a thousand stars. Seldom does a film hit its mark so perfectly. It's a bulls-eye for director Jonas Ackerlund. The characters are brilliant caricatures in a very sad theme and Mickey Rourke absolutely "cooks".
The writing deserved an Oscar. Just genius.
The animation deserved an Oscar. No airbrushing there.
The makeup deserved an Oscar. They took some really good looking actors and made them look like trash. Except for Mickey. He probably didn't need a lot of help, as he fits the niche. And Mom didn't need much help. Don't look too close. She's just your average American, but I had to turn away.
I cannot tell any more. Just hold on tight.
Seriously though, this film is disturbingly desperate when the laughs are over. The bad thing is, it can really get this horrible. I've seen a friend pick up lint out of the carpet hoping that it was crank. Just tweaking man. This junk is rife in America and it makes me cry, not laugh. SPEED KILLS!!
Jim William knows what he is talking about. He was a drug-induced catatonic schizophrenic for a short time. Much was lost then. Much bonus time was gained, along with a multi-faceted identity.
