I have a great article on how to starve cancer cells I saw on the Dr. Oz show.
I haven't shared it b/c I didn't want to talk about moi.
and my deal with myself is when I blog I have to share some of me.
Sooooo....ick....here I go
5 Foods to Starve cancer--angiogenesis (Dr. William Lee)
food is a medicine we take every day.---stop bad blood vessels from feeding cancer tissue
Bok choy---contains boracinin---1/2 cup X 3 per week
Cooked tomatoes---lycopene----2-3 cups per week--heat in evoo=makes molecules more available to body
Flounder----mild white fish--omega 3--anti-angiogenic----3 X 6oz per week
strawberries---elogic acid in seed and pulp---antioxidant and anti-angiogenic
Artichokes--3 different anti-angiogenic molecules--1/4 cup artichoke per day
As for Moi---- conflicted on many fronts, will elaborate more when i am not locking down my mind to contain anxiety.
I have a minor surgical procedure tomorrow--Hysterotomy-- they will remove 5 mm of uterine wall and 2 adenomanous polyps.
All being well I will be home by 14oohrs, my friend Lori is picking me up.
That's it folks

Summer in Ottawa and Montreal, and of course food...
Hey There Everyone
Was speaking with my sister Shae, and she had bumped into Gloria who had commented that there hadn't been a recent blog....
Soooo my inspiration for this one is my sister, and Gloria.
Food Mystery
My cousin Barbara has been getting serious indigestion after eating chickpeas.
In trying to source out the cause of her distress, I happened across an article in "Canadian Living"
"Best Sleep Ever"
The article states that foods with Tryptophan (an amino acid)
has a relaxing effect on your brain by becoming serotonin,
a neurotransmitter that slows nerve traffic and helps your body manufacture
the sleep hormone melatonin.
Foods with Tryptophan
turkey, milk bananas, figs, dates,oats, eggs, chickpeas, potatoes and peanuts.
Sooo this food detective thought she had solved the mystery.
Turns out not so much.
Back to the drawing board.
Personally I would like to thank my whole family, Phenix's, Shanks', Corbett's, McNeils', Woods',
and if I left anyone out, you too. For a wonderful reunion and celebration.
Cheers to Mado and Rick, Hosts par Excellence.
I am in Montreal @ Barbara's
Saw My friend Michele today and her hubby Frank, and Her Kids, Sabrina, Adam, Michael, Matt, and spoke to Melanie on the phone. We will do our pilgrimage to Portuguese restaurant for grilled squid, octopus, and shrimp on Thursday.
Oh... I think I hear Barb and Tonya, looks like I may get dinner after all.
Meanwhile I'm sipping wine listening to the crickets.
Personally, I think I am well, finding enough time for therapeutic swims, walks, and reading,
As balanced as is possible when one is away from home.

courage is fear holding on for one more minute
Paraphrased from this months Alive Magazine
Moving Meditation helps pain.
i believe it helps All Pain--
Combining Meditation with physical activity improves our health.
For me listening to music focuses my mind and Walking changes the way i think.
one example of this is, within two blocks of my home, as I begin my walk, the world falls away, and my mind focuses on music and breathing and I feel psychologically lighter. It changes the way I think. It's some of my best Therapy.
Food Facts
Short and Simple--After having spent a week in the Okanagan, eat more fresh food.
Fruit and fresh veg are spectacular right now.
Indulge in Nature's Bounty.
Mutti you were missed!
A Nod to Aunt Lucille and Linda and a welcome to my Blog.
I have added you both to the automatic email list.
Please feel free to let me know when you want off the automatic list.
This is not everyones's cup of tea.
I am off to Ottawa on Thursday morning,
There is a Family Reunion At Rick and Mado's and I am looking forward to seeing all of you.
Golf on Friday, and Big Do on Saturday.
Lenny this is an Official invitation to attend the Golf and Family Do. I hope you will consider it.
everyone else, see ya there.
I am coping, and not feeling up to dissecting any further.
Packing lists, etc.......
hugs y'all.
