Evening, Peeps.
I'm actually starting this thread at the request of my Missus, and her wise (and been there before) counsel. I spoke to Aunty today, and maybe some of this comes from reflecting on what I've learned here at AFN. I'm out of the closet, and pursuing a "teachable moment"
My original intent was to be sneaky, and not tell everyone. That, I (we) believe, would be selfish and counter to what AFN stands for. So here goes, and I don't (truly and honestly, folks), want sympathy or condolences. Give that to the other guy, 'cause I feel like a mean, concertina wire eating S.O.B. right now.
A very short time ago, I was diagnosed with lung cancer. 3B, and I'm figuring out that ain't a bra size
Most likely from starting to smoke weed...... Naw, just kidding, but I do have the C. Maybe I should have started smoking sooner
Anyway, On very trusted advice, I'll be changing up a lot of things. Diet, no doubt, and putting my pH up into the stratosphere for a bit.
8+ is the goal. I just broke 7, and still dipping into the high 6's, so we'll learn as we go.
We decided this was important to put down for folks who may face the same thing, so I'll try to keep things as updated as I can.
Tonight was an olive oil stir fry with very lean (and very little) beef, poblano peppers, mushrooms and onions. Very good, I'll add.
My pH is at 6.9, and I just took a TBSP of baking soda. ( This is NOT the standard BS program, so anyone stumbling on this don't start eating this stuff in this volume, K?)
No sugar, no gluten, lots of greens, limited protein.
And lots of sex. (That's just my 2 pence).
So off we go. This is just the bully on the block, and just needs a solid kick in the kiwis.
Sorry for the ramble,
Red
