Getting diagnosed with cancer at 27 years old

[Tboy]

Sorry to hear about this but I think you seem smart and I admire the approach you are taking. Something that changed my life was the satisfaction meditation but it's important to do that in conjunction with mindfulness meditation in my opinion. If you are able to do it, it will quite simply generate happiness for you at least for certain periods each day and will grow your overall default state to a happier/more at peace one. I feel this can be helpful when dealing with anxiety about the situation and going into negative thought loops.

 

Love and health to you

I read that a long water fast can be really good for cancer. The first thing I will do if I get diagnosed with cancer is go on a 10 day no food fast, fuck everybody else and what they say.

I would do the same, although it's easy to say when not diagnosed; when things actually happen our behaviors and ideas can quickly change.

In the US there is the True North Health Center, a clinic specialized in fasting that could help you @Adventure seeker conduct your fast in a safe way, should you decide for it.

that can help with healing as well a diets, but I’m pretty ignorant on what those could be.

There are many perspectives, and it is easy to get lost in the sea of information that is the internet today.

My personal belief is that an SOS-free, plant-based, ancestral diet, paired with lifestyle factors (getting sun every day, especially in the mornings to activate mitochondria via infrared, not eating after the sun has set, going to bed on time, sleeping well and 7-8+ hours, etc.) can help your body an immense way by modulating your immune system. There is also evidence for keto diets for specific types of cancers -- you'd have to research that.

It is of course not guaranteed that lifestyle factors will be enough to allow your body to reverse cancer, but as one of the nutritionists and visionaries I most admire on the topic, Dr. Eduardo Corassa says, "doing what's right is never wrong". I add his website should you want to book a consultation; the website is in Portuguese but he speaks English quite well.

Don't let the diagnosis disencourage you from maintaining and further improving your diet and lifestyle factors. These are the base. Don't let doctors tell you that diet and lifestyle do not matter. Trust your body and its capacity to heal itself, while keeping your mind open to do what is necessary, including chemo if that is the best route, always with the help of health practitioners you trust.

There is also the work of Dr. Valter Longo, where he shows that his fast mimicking diet makes the body more resilient to chemo while making the cancer cells more sensitive to it. Might be another weapon in your arsenal.

There is also the book from Dr. Alan Goldhammer "Can Fasting Save Your Life?". It's more geared towards metabolic syndrome, but there you can find relevant information such as how to calculate fat loss and the most crucial parts of fasting. For long fasts, it's recommendable that you do in an experienced institution, if possible.

Another thing to consider is a raw food diet. There is evidence of toxins that accumulate significantly in fried and baked foods (but much less in boiled or steamed foods) being present in higher concentration in tumor areas. Of course, correlation is not causation, but something to consider.
