For over a year I’ve followed a mostly organic diet consisting of no processed sugar or gluten. It took a lot of research to figure out what works best for me and I’m still learning. Since changing my diet I am at my healthiest weight to date (lost 10-15 lbs) and have more energy when I stick to the diet. Cancer has been shown to feed off of processed sugar and doesn’t bode well with high inflammatory foods. Two of my primary resources have been The Cancer Killers by Dr. Charles Majors (who also had a Multiple Myeloma diagnosis) and The Anti-Cancer Life by Dr. David Servan-Schreiber (lived 20 years with an aggressive brain tumor). Here’s a quick break down:

Go for it!	Limit	No-No
Organic Poultry	Organic Beef/Pork	Meat with hormones/antibiotics
Organic berries/granny smith apples	Other organic fruits	Fruits with pesticides
Food containing no added sugar	Raw Honey, Agave or Maple Syrup	Processed Sugar, Cane Sugar, Brown Rice Syrup
Organic Sweet Potatoes	N/A	Potatoes
Quinoa	Brown Rice	White Rice
Unsweetened Coconut or Almond Milk	Organic Raw Milk	Non-Organic Pasteurized Milk
Unsweetened Nut Cheeses (vegan)	Organic Raw Milk Cheeses	Non-Organic Pasteurized Cheeses
Coconut, Olive, Flax, or Avocado Oil	N/A	Vegetable and Canola Oils
Almond or Coconut Flour GF Bread/Crust	Brown Rice GF Bread/Crust	Non-GF Breads/Crusts
Zoodles (make veggies into noodles)	GF Pastas	Non-GF Pasta
Most Organic Veggies	Organic Peppers	Corn, or Non-Organic Veggies

I’m considering shifting to full out Paleo as it’s the closest diet that encompasses my own. But I’d have to give up cheese, beans, and grains completely… Eek!
