Getting a colon cleanse

Wow talk about cleaning out a colon! I thought that eating a salad would be enough but with eating foods made from whole wheat, multi grains and of course good old organic those really do a number on the old colon (not to Mention the gas) lol! But other than that I do feel better and I have even been sleeping better (of course I still take my medicines)but I'm not waking up as often as I did before. And I have been in a better mood as well (again I'm on an anti depressant)but that along with eating organic it is helping I'm also drinking a lot of organic milk pretty much like its going out of style and I made some home made ultimate chocolate brownies from scratch and I eat one piece with milk occasionally I also got some sugar free fruit bars and I have those too. Thisn is the best thing I have ever done I only wish I had started thus earlier. (but as they say better late than never) lol!!!!!!!

Organic Pizza

OmG the pizza was so good I couldn't believe it I was amazed at how tasty it was and the pepperoni was not even spicy I was able to eat at least a third of it. We are going to continue buying this pizza Mike got himself one with feta cheese and spinach. I'm even going to stop eating as much starch too I know its not healthy either I just have to get myself in the habit of picking the right foods at the store and when I do go down the chip isle I will continue buying the whole wheat chips.

Ridding my body of processed foods

I made Pork Chops last night that were organic, they were actually good I've eaten organic chicken before so i knew that organic meats were good I also got 2 bottles of organic spaghetti sauce that should be interesting when i make that i have been having a hard time with sauces lately so i can't wait to see what the organic sauces do.

I'm glad that since i am going organic now that my b/f is doing this with me it's hard enough doing it because you need to do it to survive but when you have someone else in the mix it makes it a lot easier.

Looking Outside the Box

What a strange way to say this. I am looking at everything that has happened to me in the past 3 months and it seems as nothing has gone my way.

On November 1st 2010 I started back on chemo #3, this time because I was under the 6 month mark I had to do a different drug its Doxil now & its a pain in the ass I have had a rash, I'm having problems with my hands & fingers (as if the neuropathy wasn't bad enough) now I have to ice my hands so they don't burn. The Dr is going to lower my dosage so that should help.

I'm also starting to eat better and so is Mike we are both doimg the organic route, it's better for both of us I've noticed that I can't eat certain foods because of what's iin them but the organic is so good I don't miss the other foods.

slowly going organic

I have been a cancer survivor since 2008, I was also DX in 2008 as well. I have been told by many people to try organic foods so I have decided to look outside the box and look into a healthier way of eating.

I look at every thing I eat to check the soy content with my type of OC I have to stay away from products with a high soy content. I have recently started drinking soy milk and just today purchased Natures Basket pork chops.

Aside from what other people are telling me I myself need to do this in order for me to get on the right path. This is something I should have started when I first got DX but I guess in reality I didn't want to believe that this was happening to me.
