Each year in the United States, approximately 14,000 children are diagnosed with cancer. That is just crazy! I mean crazy! We need to change something. No one, I mean no one, especially a child shouldn't have cancer.

Its a strange feeling walking through a "normal" life. Like I had a big secret. Going about my normal day at the grocery store. I felt weird. I had received a letter from a friend. Which there was a letter of one of her friend (a Mother) going through some of the same things. It was comforting, that I wasn't alone in these feelings.

I was pretty lucky to have such a great community of support during this time. Everyone from Bosses, Co-workers, Family (almost all out of state) Friends, Elijah's friends, Elijah's middle school teachers.

After we found out, we of coarse hit the internet searching for cures. Any info on this type of cancer. What we found wasn't very promising. Like I had said before people in their 50s+ What I had found was after treatment there was a seven year survival rate. Almost always the cancer seems to come back at some point. I was super determined to help do all that I can to safe my son.

I have worked in the health care industry for over 8 years. I know that Alkaline in super important. Eating alkaline rich organic foods will certainly contribute to a more alkaline environment in the body which does reduce the risk of getting cancer. The majority of the foods and drinks most people consume are acidic such as meat, grains and sugar, with colas and other soft drinks being highly acidic. I only let my kids drink about 2 sodas a year. We don't eat that much meat. Sugar, not much either. 

So I changed a few things in Elijah's diet. I cut anything that had sugar. All processed foods like a loaf of bread, it has added sugar in it. I was lent a Juicer from my boss, so I started Juicing : Carrot/Celery/Apple, and Cucumber/Kale/Tumeric/Ginger/Green Apple. I also had him to drink Barley Grass (Alkaline) I started to have him drink it 5 times a day. (which was recommended by a co-worker, one of his friends had cancer and had done only Barley grass.  Barley may suppress carcinogens in the Intestinal Tract due to the Protease Inhibitors content of Barley. I got that last bit of info from HyperHealth A computer doctor compiled data base at the place where I work.

I added more broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower almost to every meal. I also added dried powdered mushrooms to everything. Lean protein, like chicken, and turkey. Lots more blue berries. I had Elijah to eat very clean.
