I think that blended stuff (green smoothie) is better, but she did what she knew how to do in the 1970's. She ate laetrile (apricot pits), banned by the FDA (she had to go to Mexico to get them). She did a lot of sprouting, yes. And she ate NO meat or processed foods--absolutely nothing from boxes and cans, for a couple of years, and then stayed a very healthy eater for many years after that. When her cancer returned in another form about 20+ years later, she'd developed about 15 lbs. extra weight on her stomach (you have likely read how that, more than weight anywhere else, predisposes us to cancer and heart disease). She'd slid somewhat, and while she still ate lots of healthy food, she ate some meat and processed food too. When the cancer came back, she was very sad, recently widowed, and didn't choose to fight it with all her energy like she had before. She passed away about 7 years ago from multiple myeloma. My grandfather had cancer behind his eye that the dr. said he'd had for 30 years, and only his good diet had kept it from becoming a problem until he was in his 70's. When he passed away, she lost all her fight. She did a lot of juicing (she turned orange from all the beta carotene from carrots).

How long did she go raw, and did she eat sprouted grain with her diet? I have been very interested in a raw diet since my husband has been battling a rare form of non-Hodgkins lymphoma.
