CANCER CURED: [cancercured] Re: Co-Dependency and Recovery from Cancer

Hi Nancy,

I had many problems with family and so-called friends when I went raw. For whatever reason, people seem offended when someone close to them makes a lifestyle change that will actually improve their life. (You are, of course, fighting for your life - which puts a whole new perspective on it).

I remember soon after I was diagnosed, I was at dinner with my father. We were eating in our favorite Indian restaurant. My father was trying to decide between chicken or shrimp. I suggested he choose vegetables instead. My father replied, "Vegetables?? But they cause CANCER!" It was actually very funny - as he meant it to be. My family still makes fun of my diet. And though I am the healthiest one of them and eat the healthiest diet, I am the one with the cancer diagnosis.

But I digress. It's important that you are only surround yourself with people who will support you - or who will offer intelligent suggestions. I'm sorry that you spent the day with someone who did not meet that criteria. Of course, the vast majority of people do not believe that diet changes will have any affect on cancer, so I doubt your relative will ever take this diet seriously for you.
