The human body require natural food; feed your body life and life is what you will get. Keeping the body healthy is keeping the body alive. God promise “long life” He will give you; there‘s conditions-you have to do your part. never give cancer anymore than what it has already taken from you...take control and eat to live...everything you eat now, is a investment into your health...eat well but eat healthy! Don't wait until you are forced to make the necessary choice to improve your longevity!  Now, for me it was a Restoration after cancer, which meant I had to adjust my lifestyle because of the treatments that affected my immune system, I change my way of thinking about food and that helped me to adjust to a whole new way of learning how to eat, but first I started taking Vitamin C, B6 and vitamin E to boost my immune system..

Before my healing, I was diagnose with  lymphedema. A common condition when you have lymph nodes removed. It was important to avoid salt, as not to retain any unnecessary fluid. But, I also changed my diet from eating foods that made me sick in the first place...such as meat, dairy, fried foods and sugar; these food were, and still is, very acidic and unhealthy for the body. They also causes inflammation, so I had no choice, but to change decades of bad eating if I wanted to regain and take control over my life.
