mylifeasafatgirl asked: Well I just stumbled upon your blog and I love it. I actually get so terrified of getting cancer, it's kind of insane. My grandma had breast cancer and beat it twice, then lung cancer, her sister just beat stomach cancer, and I have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity which apparently makes you more susceptible to stomach cancer. And obviously my family has a slight history of getting...

No Produce for Low Income

I had three thoughtful messages in response to my “low-income grocery” post the other day. Wanted to share them. Here they are: onemoretimevintage: I loved your last post. It is an issue that has been driving me crazy for years. I grew up, poor, in the city. My parents were divorced. Dad lived on a flourishing urban farm, while I lived with my mother and shopped on Food Stamps at...

relgetsright asked: http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2010/05/tedtalks_graham_hill_why_im_a.php Just watched a TED Talk about part time vegetarianism and how the all or nothing approach just isn't working. Thought you'd be interested to know that the compromise and moderation argument is becoming more prevalent!

malkay asked: Hey Chris,
Congrats on beating cancer! I am a 11 month survivor of burkitts lymphoma. I was wondering what you did on your 1 year anniversary. Was it anything special or just a regular day? I am debating whether to celebrate with a small party or just let it be a normal friday :)
Sincerely,
Mallory

Militant Vegetarian/Veganism

I’m not going to call anyone out by name here. But I recently saw a post from a girl on tumblr who said she was thinking about becoming half-vegetarian. This led to several reposts by vegetarians and vegans who criticized and attacked her. Basically trying to make her feel stupid and saying things like “there’s no such thing as a half-vegetarian” etc. To my Veg...

amazingracie asked: Congrats on beating cancer, Chris. I lost a infant sister to leukemia; she was undergoing chemotherapy but it wasn't enough I guess. I'm planning on running in my local Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in two weeks too. The battle against cancer is one that I hope I never have to fight, but I plan on helping others in everyway I can. I'm extremely impressed that your healthier and...

no1967 asked: Hey, man. I'm really diggin' your Tumblr. I was just wanting to ask if you've been introduced to kombucha yet? It's some of the best stuff around :)!

Also: CONGRATS on beating the cancer. I'm glad you did. I'm sure you've blessed people since--I'm one of them.

Health is about making good choices

Good morning! Just want to remind you of something you already know. Your life and your body now, are the result of all the choices, good or bad, you’ve made up to this point. The decisions you make today are creating your future life. I’m eating healthy today because I want to be healthy tomorrow. When you resist the temptation to eat junk food, you will be so proud of...

FDA Barring Food Makers from Advertising Products...

ozarkherbs: The FDA does NOT have our best interest at heart, yet another demonstation of this fact. Amplify’d from www.democracynow.org The FDA meanwhile appears to be enforcing a policy of barring food producers from trumpeting that their products don’t contain genetically modified ingredients. According to the Washington Post, the FDA has sent a “flurry of enforcement letters” to companies...

fitnfun: Fun Fact I just read: If you eat a typical amount of beef (66.5 pounds a year), switching to lean grassfed beef will save you 17,733 calories a year—without requiring any willpower or change in your eating habits. If everything else in your diet remains constant, you’ll lose about six pounds a year. If all Americans switched to grassfed meat, our national epidemic of obesity might...

If she can make it another 7 years in remission we will be so blessed. Thank you for your strength and sharing a healthy lifestyle.

nurseapple asked: thank you for following! i am inspired. my grandma (in US) is newly diagnosed with colon cancer, stage II and she has already started her chemo. i'm getting tips from your blog and i will probably let her know those. thanks, again and have a good health! :)

sam-and-eggs asked: Hi Chris,
I've been reading your blog and I am SO happy for you that you have been cancer free for about 7 years. I volunteer with a non-profit organization called Imerman Angels (they provided free 1-on-1 support to cancer fighters, survivors, and caregivers). You have such an amazing story and the advice that you are giving to others is so inspirational and sincere. I believe that...

chrissyosos asked: Amen! Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I will buy those books. Thank you for your prayers. I do believe all things work together for good for those who love God. I know God has a plan and a purpose for my life. I believe He will be glorified through my life.

God bless and thanks. :)

chrissyosos asked: Hello Chris. My name is Chrissy and I'm currently battling CML (leukemia). I recently had my spleen taken out, a few tumors have been removed, and I also got a stem cell (from an adult donor) transplant. My immune system is extremely low. I'm also doing chemotherapy and it makes me so sick. I've been reading your blog, are you telling me I don't have to take chemo, because if I...

Anonymous asked: Hi Chris and congrats on being cancer free!

I'm afraid I might have colon cancer, too. I'm waiting to see my doctor next week. If you dont mind sharing, how did you realize you might have colon cancer? Did you have symptoms? How did they find the cancer? Was your blood work abnormal?

Any help would be appreciated. I'll be watching your space for your...

timstatus asked: Hi Chris,

Really like your blog. I am doing chemo at this time for Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma. The drugs for this type of cancer are very effective. Having said that I have totally changed my diet as well and I believe this is also a big part of my road to better health and have met with Eastern doctors regarding herbs and accupuncture. Somewhere I believe there is an...

maggie-adua-deactivated20110513 asked: Hi Chris. I was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma when I was 18. I'm 23 now. I underwent surgery and chemotherapy and I deeply regret going through chemo. At the time, my parents and I were just too scared to even think about any other option. While I was going through chemo, I did more research and that's when I switched to organic food and became a vegetarian. I also drank Essiac tea...

gloriouseats asked: So, I just found you on here...and I am so looking forward to reading all of your blog!! I know I can learn something great from you!!! I myself am terrified of anything Cancer.

I think its due to deaths in my family linked with it.

I actually made a post about why I decided to lose weight/eat healhty/be healthy.

This was one of the reasons...

letsseeifyoubastardscando90 asked: Dude, after reading the Mutant Milk post I decided to stop drinking processed milk. This is the exact reason why I love your blog. It is helping me live a healthier life because I, like many people made the stupid mistake of picking up smoking at the young age of 14, I have been smoke free for about a month now and intend to keep it that way. My family has a long standing reputation of cancer...

Anonymous asked: Hi chris,

I had cancer a while back (I'm only 17) and while I didn't have chemo, I did have a shit load of surgeries. Hated them and in all honesty they seemed to botch more than they succeeded. I'm cancer free now (and I thank God everyday) but because I was so young I didn't really get a say in what I did. If I could go back and chose for myself I would...

jtwells asked: Hi Chris. Thanks for following me. I am a student of Naturopathic and Chinese medicine. We need more examples in our practice of people who trust completely in natural medicine and healthy lifestyles to overcome the worst of dis-ease. Thanks for being that example. I myself was diagnosed with HIV a few years back, and have had great success by living healthily and taking my health into my own...

erinlush asked: Thanks for the follow.
I know you get this alot, and I know you get the "I know you get this alot" alot, too. But I find your story inspirational. My nan passed away from breast cancer just over a week ago. I'm glad that you were able to 'beat' it, and experience and live your life to its fullest. I hope it's a long one!

therealityshow-deactivated20101 asked: Hello, Sir. Good evening :) You've heard this a lot of times, I'm sure, but your story is very inspiring to me and to my family. Both sides of my family had experienced cancer. Different kinds to my grannies and aunts and uncles. But by knowing your story, our family is inspired. I can't wait to tell my grandmother and our other relatives who are taking care of her (they're...
