My Journey with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Part 2: Soy products...

New feature to go with my original blog...

(10/13/10) My original blog was running out of room for reporting research in a easily accessable manner. I am going to try this, a second site that you may click back and forth from. This second site is for the research information. The following is my original blog.

Please keep in mind that I am not promoting anyone or any product. There just isn't enough space to note all of the sites I have been on. As I said before, listing at least one will give a beginning place to look if you are interested.

First of all, I dug into the subject of soy as I didn't want to give up the final choice of creamer for my coffee (which I am supposed to give up). I am limiting myself to a couple of cups in the morning.

The following are bits and pieces of information I have found to begin my search into soy. This page will be updated as I look further into the subject.

I am researching the following, and will find if they are true, myth, or minunderstandings.

Reading on this subject is about like Vitamin B-17, I have opened another can of worms... but, I will continue because I need to know.

...if cancer is estrogen positive, avoid soy products... they contain natural occuring estrogen that can feed the cancer."
...advise your doctor what food program, herbal and over the counter remedies you are working on. The routine you are using may interfere with cancer medicine.
...no grapefruit or pomegranates if taking Tamoxifen... what about other cancer medicine?
...soy is hidden in products, read labels.

Location of information...

This blog is not 100% anything (proof of cure, healing), only research that I have completed for myself. Every attempt has been made to note the publication, author, web site that the information came from. I am sharing all of this so that someone (or more) may have their curiosity triggered and begin to look into how they can help themselves be a bit healthier.

I know that for many, myself included, that the "cure" for cancer can't possibly be as simple as some articles want us to believe. After reading as much as I already have, again I repeat my thoughts. I don't believe there is "one" remedy, but I do believe that if I implement numerous changes to my lifestyle it will make my entire body healthier. In turn, a healthier body, system, mental and emotional stability will give me a chance to fight this "beast" as some call it. Some of the changes are really simple to make, switching out the old with the new when grocery shopping, reading labels, portion control, diverting my attention when craving (harmful) goodies, having healthy snacks readily available, etc. No, I am not perfect. I am a work in progress. When I falter, then I pick myself up and start all over again. It's easier than when I tried dieting for vanity reasons, because this time it is for my life.

Any miscellaneous post over seven (7) days old will be listed in the archives listed below, right side of screen.

BELOW ARE STAND ALONE pages. Click on topic to view. After reading, click arrow in upper left of screen back to home.

What's up with the 2nd blog?

As you know, I have been doing research on cancer, and what I can do to help myself as well as the doctors, medicine, treatments, surgery, etc.

Even with listing minimal information on each subject I find interesting, space still runs out in a limited forum. I don't have the money to begin a web page, so thought I would link two blogs together.

First blog (prayerfaithandhope.blogspot.com) is going to be more personal information. I may (or may not) first post research on this blog, then transfer it after a couple of days.
or
Second blog (this one ~ marieskidneycancerpart2.blogspot.com ) will have research posted here after relocation from first blog or initially.

There is an address listed at the first of the blog for the other site. You can click back and forth. Well, I am hoping that it works that way. I am not a computer tech... but, I try. Marie
