66 Miles and NFE #2


66 Miles!

Today I figured out that three  20 minute walks per day seven days per week,  have added up to 66 miles in the last month that we have been on this program.  I should have counted the carrots celery and lettuce Leland has drunk in that time period too : ).

He continues to be stronger and Dr. D says from all the signs that he is doing well, and the Protocel is doing its job. We are grateful for every good day.

Mark is here for a few days which is very nice for us.  He cut down several scrawny trees and one medium size tree today, burned a lot of brush and generally made himself useful.  We had lunch outdoors in the wind and the sunshine watching over the fire.  For supper he made wonderful crepes from whole grains which we filled with sliced partially frozen dark cherries and cashew cream which had vanilla and a little stevia in it.  Very nice treat, and all on Leland’s plan.

Notes From the Experts #2

50 percent of the immune system is in the gut. Care and respect for the immune system is a matter of life and death.  Good nutrition, truly healthy food and regular exercise are vital to a well functioning and protective immunity against the many threats to health. Dr D. says that chewing one’s food to the consistency of applesauce is necessary for good digestion, and Dr. Blaylock maintains that unless food is thoroughly chewed,  that only about 30% of the nutrition is available to the body.

Dr. Blaylock also states that a wide variety of vegetables is very crucial to supporting the immune system, that plants contain numerous and often powerful phytochemicals in their leaves and stems which not only suppress tumors, but are also protective of the cardiovascular system.  Eating just a few favorite vegetables repeatedly is not sufficient for this protection. Our vegetables for today included peppers, yams, eggplant, zuchinni, tomatoes, lettuce and carrots.

Just last week the American Cancer Society made a statement that the most important predictor of a successful recovery from cancer and best chance of no recurrence is a good diet and regular exercise.
