I am currently journeying alongside my husband as he walks this same path with metastatic stomach cancer. It is grueling in the extreme and life changing in its impact on the whole family. My greatest respect to you and your support team for the way you continue to get through this and encourage others

I am 50, from Australia and soon I have to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy for severe anaemia. I’m loosing my iron quickly and it’s not periods because I tried a hysterectomy first 7 mths ago. I have iron infusions regularly. The fatigue without them isn’t fun. I’m now scared since this video as I have same symptoms. Never thought about gastric cancer.
Just got told blood in stool last week. Nervous.

Anyone fighting cancer please strongly consider adding soursop, juice, tea or the actual soursop fruit to your diet. Also: Lions Mane Turkey Tail Mushroom Supplement. Also Ojibwa herbs, capsule form or other. No processed foods, no sugar. ❤

[marieharris]

HOW DOES ONE EAT AFTER A GASTRECTOMY!!!???

[lookup]

This sounds incredibly Tumors do love sugar, glucose all processed foods, fatty foods, oils, dairy anything that is processed. scientific research points to water fasting once a week. Intermittent fasting daily. And consuming various types of vegetables and homemade blended vegetable juices. (avoiding ANYTHING TASTING SWEET including sweet fruits) until a person's blood tests improve DRAMATICALLY 😁👍🏻 The stomach secretes different fluids to digest different food... eating food groups 2 hours apart is less work on gastric environment. Organic probiotics prebiotic, enzyme, supplements. Tumors hate oxygen and fiber. The way food is cooked has an effect on weakening or strengthening tumors. Tumors hate boring food ie steamed or boiled veggies, water cooked foods etc. transcendental and visualization meditations, and the exercise of deep breathing into the stomach a few times daily. Detoxing endocrine and lymphatic system. These are a couple of bodily symptoms some tumors hijack.

Hope this helps someone 💕🙏🏽
