HOW I FOUGHT CANCERA PERSONAL STORYBy: Dr. jennifermambyalexander
Every week I met the same patients on chemotherapy, all of us on the same sad journey, learning to be brave in the midst of insurmountable odds.
THE AUDACITY OF HOPE BARACK OBAMA
The fountain of youth is controlled by the organ between your ears. It resides in the brain Start making better decisions today What is your motivation to live longer? If you are not at your best you will not be in a position to help your children and grandchildren START MAKING BETTER CHOICES TODAY
The way you think and the GOOD CHOICES you make keep you healthy and make you live longer and look better. • If you look bad on the outside it may spell trouble on the inside. • Alzheimer’s and Cancer start 10 or even 20 years before the symptoms show • The best time to start making better choices is NOW before anything starts to go wrong CANCER AND ALZHEIMER’S start 10 – 20 years before symptoms
Chemotherapy kills brain cells SO you must be on a brain healthy program after chemotherapy Avoid toxic people Meditate 15 minutes each day Calorie restriction increases longevity Lean muscle mass is better than fat LIVE ON A HEALTHY PROGRAM
Fast foods • Overweight • Less than 7 hours of sleep each night • Alcohol is NOT brain food • Excess Caffeine • Fumes from pesticides, paints, nail polish, mani/pedicure products, smoke • Family history accounts for only 20% of your health. • Stress and anxiety CAUSES OF BAD HEALTH INCLUDING BAD BRAIN FUNCTION
Okinawa has the largest percentage of healthy centenarians in the world with the lowest frequency of cancers, strokes, heart disease and dementia They have 80% less cancers of the prostate, breast, ovary and colon when compared to the western world.. FIGHT CANCER AND AGING WITH A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Have a drink of water before you eat as it helps to reduce your appetite • Stop eating when you are 80% full. • Less calorie intake with more emphasis on vegetables, fibre, whole fruit and not fruit juice, less refined flour, sugar, processed cereals and white rice, decrease breast and prostate cancer, diabetes and aging. • Minimize red meats, dairy products and egg yolk that are high in saturated fat. DIETARY SECRETS OF OKINAWANS
Eat more fish and sea foods (at least 2 meals per week) that amounts to about 400mg of omega 3. • Eat no more than a palm size of protein with each meal • Increase physical activity to reduce insulin growth factor, to maintain strength, muscle tone, fitness, to reduce osteoporosis • Increase mental stimulation SECRETS TO PREVENT AGING
Limit alcohol intake, as high alcohol intake is linked to alcohol dependent cancers. Red wine is the best alcohol to consume because it contains a powerful antioxidant (resveritol) that protects against heart disease and osteoporosis. ANTI-AGING SECRETS
Have a relaxed approach to life by being optimistic, adaptable, cheerful, independent, calm , open and with a high degree of tolerance for frustration People who are inactive, repressed, stubborn, angry, fearful, guilty, sad or depressed live shorter unhealthy lives. Do not suffer from “hurry sickness”
One study found that elderly women who lived with their retired husbands were twice as likely to die than women who lived on their own. Many wives view widowhood as the best time of their life. This sentiment is based partly on the fact that a woman’s life is bound by duty and that widowhood is the only time she is free. SENTIMENTS FROM AGING WOMEN
Mind management is essentially the key to life management Albert Einstein
Your time is limited so do not waste it living someone else’s life. • The possibility of death is no longer an intellectual concept but a reality all cancer survivors face. • Follow your heart. STEVE Jobs

Ahhh!!!!! GOOD GRIEF!!!! RELATIONSHIPS & LOVE
At the beginning of a relationship a man goes out of his way to treat you well in an attempt to prove that he is great for you. During the getting-to-know-you stage you call each other often, there is laughter, fun, you are both light on your feet. You literally fall asleep each night with your ear on the phone talking to each other. THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MEN
You text-message each other all day He makes personal sacrifices to be with you and calls you just to say “Hi” He goes out of his way to impress you and you feel that he wants to include you in this future plans He asks you “Where have you been all of his life”? AT THE BEGINNING
He is swept up in the chemistry and loves the attention a warm, loving, nice attractive woman like you gives him. He likes the way he feels and it keeps him there for 3 months. AT THE BEGINNING
Then it is 3 months. Everything gets real. All of a sudden he notices that you are a real person. You have real feelings. He has been leading the relationship along and now there are EXPECTATIONS FOR THE FUTURE that you have created from the situation without discussions with him. 3 MONTHS
