Lloyd and I have only been together 3 years but he has stuck with me through some really trying physical times already and I am humbled at his heart. I was in an accident 5 years ago and it's left me with occasional 'bouts of disability - really occasional - but I don't think Lloyd knew he was signing on for how bad it gets sometimes. It was extremely humbling the first time he had to carry me from the bed to the bathroom. So, I love him all that much more dearly for all that.

That is soo sweet. He deserves an extra hug just for that!

Of course, since we were both middle age when me met it's been some series of finding out the reality of those things in our relationship. His trying physical moment was that he's had a scare with prostate cancer. Turned out to be NOT cancer but I am now doing my best to transition to feeding him a more nutritious diet, starting with an abundance of fresh veggies and supplements targeting balancing his body out. There's improvement but he's not on board for going vegan since he did not have cancer. I'm still working on daily menu planning so that he can stay in a better position NOT to contract that disease. It's been gratifying to pick up from your posts that I'm on the right track. I must be reading the right books.

My husband and I met in our forties, too.

The main goal in staying healthy is to alkalinize your body. Most of us are much too acid and that promotes cancer. And the stuff you'd think would make you acid, like lemons, vinegar, limes, etc. actually help alkalinize you!

I can send you my anti-cancer protocol if you're interested. One thing I discovered was kombucha tea. It's the strangest drink and a little pricey if you buy it, but making it yourself is practically free. It's sooooo good for you, full of micronutrients and B-vitamins. Some people say it cured their cancer! The main goal in staying healthy is to alkalinize your body. Most of us are much too acid and that promotes cancer.

I am interested in your protocol. Especially in that tea. We drink various herb teas daily, some because we just like them but others because of health benefits. Well, and I grow lots of yummy tea makin's so we just enjoy a little of that because it's here.

I had a mother-in-law about 15 years ago who overcame colon cancer on the type of diet you describe. Her main goal also was alkalinizing the body and she taught me a lot at that time which I have forgotten. Lloyd does enjoy a huge variety of food so he will try everything. But, he's an old meat and potatoes guy so I have to introduce the new and just decline quantities of the standard. Which is okay for now since he is cancer free. I just intend to do everything to keep it that way so I cook a lot of what I think he needs and he eats it cause he likes food.
