Starting the day with an hour of directed meditation sets the tone. I had my wheatgrass juice at 5:30am followed by meditation and then some lemon water in the main hall. At first, I went searching for breakfast, since we are brought up to believe it is the most important meal of the day. Apparently, this idea was started by the cereal companies. Profits do have a major role as input to our beliefs. I am not really missing breakfast now that I have been here a few days. We always have the lemon water and at 10am there is a green drink (a vegetable combination).
My personal program requires garlic with each meal and with my green drink. Fortunately, most people have garlic, so there is no need to cover your mouth when you talk, everyone smells the same, so no one notices.
When I arrived for lunch, I could feel the excitement in the air. The Chef had prepared spaghetti and meatballs. Even the staff was waiting to partake in this departure from the normal fare. Of course the meatballs were vegetables and the spaghetti noodles were zucchini and the sauce was also vegetable with no tomatoes. It was amazing. All my favorite foods can be replicated using vegetables and a variety of spices. There are weekly classes to teach us food preparation, good thing, since I am currently clueless.
My protocol for neutralizing my cancer is a strictly veggie diet. No sugar, or dairy, or fruit. All of these are food for cancer and my goal is to starve the cancer and feed my body.
Because of my pacemaker and stint, I cannot use any magnetic equipment, therefore most of the spa services are not allowed. I get to replace that time with Swedish massage. Not a bad deal, eh? My stint needs to be replaced as soon as I return home. It has already exceeded the 3 month life span by 2 months. Pardon me for not being in a hurry to "go under" again. So some of the exercise equipment is irritating as well. (No, not just an excuse!!:)). I still ride the hell out of my bike.
I was privileged to have a personal meeting with Dr Anna Marie. Dr Brian and Dr Anna Marie are the driving forces behind the Hippocrates Institute and I guess only exceptions to the norm meet with her. My cancer is considered rare and its location makes it difficult to remove, so I hold lots of hope for this approach. Dr Anna asked to video tape me for a future DVD and I agreed. I figure she holds the same belief for positive results, because this is a before and after type video.
Colonics are out because of my stint. I have mixed emotions about missing out on those sessions, since it was not tops on my list of fun things to do. However, Dr Anna Marie suggested enemas and wheatgrass implants should be increased to three times a day! HOHUM
Leftover meatballs for dinner with my digestive enzymes, of course, and then back to the room to figure out the bag of supplements I have been prescribed.
