Juicing Forum

Hi Guys,

I am back home after my opp,

Astonishing results.

The tumour was still there but smaller and was excised using the tools in the colonoscope. A second smaller tumour was found and it too was excised.

Both tumours go for pathology, with results in three weeks.

The surgeon (A professor of surgery at Adelaide University – flown in to do my opp) said he was not concerned and to see him again in three years – for another colonoscopy.

Prior to my commencing juicing I had a colonoscopy. Samples of the tumour were cut out as was samples of the adjacent colon wall. The results of the pathological testing was cancer in both the tumour and colon wall.

IF the pathological testing of the excised tumours shows NO cancer. It could ONLY be juicing that has helped me. I have literally done nothing else.

At the moment I am quite bewildered by the results and have asked to see my Doctor tomorrow for further clarification. I need this quantified. I am too “fuzzy” today after the anaesthetic.

The last month has been most unpleasant. Wills made (without my wifes knowledge – I love her too much to upset her). A financial planner engaged with a brief to examine ALL the “What If's”. etc..

I will write after my meet with my Doctor – who attended the surgery.

Mal! Thank you for such a quick update. You've been on my mind and in my prayers for several days now. I'm so happy to hear your report!!! It will be really interesting to hear what else your doctor has to say. Did you tell him about your juicing? Sorry if I sound nosey since we don't even know each other, but I'm so excited for you and very motivated to continue juicing as a way of life. I want to live long and live strong!!
So I add my congratulations and best wishes to you along with Donnie and all the others who have their hearts invested in your journey to health!

So HAPPY to hear this news. I know waiting is the WORST for the pathology. But it sounds like the MD thinks he could do a thorough job on the tumors with just the scope. That sounds very promising.

Will keep you in my prayers and hope to hear the final confirmation that you just need to be monitored every 3 yrs.

Hi Mal, thank you for staying connected. I check frequently for your posts. Our thoughts and prayers are with you as you provide care and comfort for your friends.

Thank you PattiRob & Donnie for your kind words...

My wife & I did the "night shift" last night... She is still with us this Wednesday morning. She is 86 yrs old and her kidneys have failed, she also has cancer of the liver. Sorry if this seems "Off Topic", clearly it is not related to Juicing.

On the juicing front, we are travelling with (our now much loved) juicer.

I am in an odd situation - I am in a capital city with an abundance of fresh food. This morning we tried a Thai Dish called (phonetic) "Cannum Chin". The vegan version contains lots of fresh Ginger, blended mushrooms, chillies, fresh ginseng root, fresh turmeric root and a few more herbs & spices.

Not sure I can juice given my surroundings at the moment, however....

I am wondering how these tasty aromatic root veggies will juice (not the mushrooms). I guess a blend of Ginseng, Ginger & turmeric combined with ???? Could be quite healthy.

Thanks for reading

Thanks Donnie... Whilst it is an odd topic for your forum, I understand and commend your philosophy of drawing people together.

My friends mother passed-on this morning about 6am... Surrounded by family and friends.

It is a mixed family of Buddhist and Roman Catholic, however there is no incongruity. The old lady is Buddhist and Monks will attend this morning...

Sadness prevails - as it should do for now. Soon we will celebrate her life - a rich full life....

Thank you for reading - Mal

Mal, I had colon cancer surgery last year, for a bad polyp that the colonoscopy couldn't handle. Mine was laproscopic through the navel; the surgeon at Cleveland clinic did an amazing job, she made one tiny cut inside my navel, removed the polyp and resectioned my bowel and only left a very tiny scar right inside my belly button. The not so fun part is the diet they put you on after for six weeks...no fresh fruits or veggies, canned only and lots of soft starchy meals...I hated it. But every doc is different, and you may have a completely different diet recommendation. I was fortunate to have had no bad lymph nodes, and I am considered cancer free. I hope this goes well for you, I remember how scared to death I was, this was cancer and the first and only surgery I had ever had. Good luck; my thoughts and prayers are with you, my dear.

Mal, I'm so glad you included us in your journey. My dad was just diagnosed with prostate cancer last week and it has spread beyond his prostate. The Dr. is very concerned and will be presenting him with a care plan on Monday. I'm going to suggest a juice fast for him and even offer to help my mom prepare his juices. He's a little skeptical of natural healing methods, so I'm really hoping he will be open to at least trying it. I appreciate your writings and especially your transparency. It seems that everyone is fighting something. Thanks again for sharing with us. I'm going to mention you to my dad and perhaps he will even read your story!!
I am keeping you in my prayers and believing that you will continue to live cancer-free!!!

Donnie: What would you suggest for a cancer-fighting juice recipe? I've been looking around on various websites, but thought maybe you would have an idea. Thanks for any help!

My support here is finished. My friends wife has interned her mothers ashes after having them blessed by the Monks.

We leave for our home state/city tomorrow. About a 3000 kilometre journey.

Once I get home to my house, I will conclude this blog, to the best of my ability. I just need to consult with my family doctor before committing "pen to paper" as it were.

Regards

Mal

Hi Mal.
Great inspiring story and amazing support from Donnie and the other members on this forum. I sincerely hope all goes well for you and I look forward to your conclusion. Gary.

Thanks Gary, I have no answers yet... But will post as soon as I do. Yes Donnie's support is amazing - considering he gets no money out of it... I hope it gives him "good karma".

I am back on the "juice", may as well give my body the best chance whilst waiting for the 'medical profession". I am planning a 10 day fast.

In a capital city now so have abundant fresh foods available.. Will add the cancer fighting foods as much as I can...

Warm Regards - Mal

Hi keyleesmom,

Thanks for your support, I wish VERY MUCH that I could post a conclusion.

I go back to hospital (as an outpatient) today for another battery of tests. I am currently juicing with 10 days in mind but I will reassess at the end of the fast to see if I can go longer. I too am very glad I found this site.

Warm Regards - Mal

Thanks PattiRob,

Tests tests and more tests... I have been scheduled for my third colonoscopy in the next ??? but Doc said ASAP.

I also have had a slight stroke... The stroke happened just before I started Juicing the first time. I think I was lucky - given my high blood pressure at the time - to have found "juicing". My BP is now 116 to 130 over 77-90. Resting/Ambulatory. I self diagnosed the stroke whilst in my isolated location. I attend the stroke centre of my hospital next week.

I am still juicing full time as I write, I also walk about 1 hour a day. I eat with my family (we sit at the table) I have modified my fast to include 1 Avocado and one Banana I join the family to consume this.

I would like to enjoy a vegan meal each evening - any thoughts out there? How will it affect the fast?

Regards - Mal

Thanks Donnie,

I have lost enough weight - below my goal now. Also I am taking BP readings for two weeks AM & PM. The stroke centre want these. The Highest reading is 124/84 - Lowest 107/80

My wife has suggested an Asian "stir Fry" of assorted veggies inc.. those that do not juice, like Aubergine (Egg Plant), mushrooms, and some squash. Seasoned with cayenne pepper.. Barely a teaspoon of oil. I will juice breakfast & Lunch.. If these "mods" cause any spikes (e.g. a rise in BP) I will report back here. (for the benefit of others)

Juicing has saved my life - I am certain of that.
