Mum’s diet from now on

We are not doctors but did not want to leave everything to doctors. Here is my mum’s routine since being diagnosed: 1/no sugar 2/no white flour 3/ supplements and herbs from our favourite herbalist – supplement from Silybum marianum 3x day, 15 minutes before and after chemo tea from Silybum marianum, massage with Calendula officinalisContinue reading “Mum’s diet from now on”

Just a little explanation

I need to explain at least briefly the name of my blog. It might sound bit negative or cocky to some. Originally I wanted to name it: “You don’t have to read this”, however the name was taken. It did fit my purpose lot more. It said exactly what I meant: “ You don’t haveContinue reading “Just a little explanation”

Wheat-free 2

First I must confess. I did break my wheat-free experiment for one week. The reason is – being at home with my parents, not cooking for myself, and simply being lazy…But it was only 1 week. I thought I will look at it positively and see what is the effect. I can honestly say I did notContinue reading “Wheat-free 2”

Letting off some steam

My main impression from all this at the moment is that there is not psychological support for the patients and for their families. In my opinion, once diagnosed, one should have an access to a professional, who will explain basics about the disease, give some statistics, nutritional advice etc. It does not have to beContinue reading “Letting off some steam”

Viva la smoothie

I thought I will top up my non-wheat diet with a Nutribullet smoothie. Did hear a lot about it. To be honest, if it was me I would not have bought. It seemed like all the products shown on TV. Shiny first but when you get it – it is a different story. However, NutribulletContinue reading “Viva la smoothie”

First steps

When I started this blog I did not think that breast cancer will be one of the topics. Well, I was wrong. It has been on my mind for a while now. I did turn to internet – searching all possible answers. It became clear to me how important if not crucial is to keepContinue reading “First steps”

Blog posts must wait

I did have some good ideas for blog posts but they have all evaporated.The reason is that my mum has been diagnosed with a breast cancer. It was a surprise to all of us. We all thought it is going to be a harmful cyst. The reason we were optimistic was because we thought she is fairlyContinue reading “Blog posts must wait”

Ecto theme

I am still sticking with it. Did try to find more information about it on the web to no avail. If it has to be a journey of discovery, so be it. At the moment I am lost between menus, pages and categories. I cannot connect the blog post to the pages I would likeContinue reading “Ecto theme”

Wheat free for 3 months

I think it is very hard to go wheat-free for long period. I do try to use various flours and recently become to love spelt.

Hello world! Ehm, anybody there?

So the title from Word Press is Hello World. How fitting. I really feel as if I am opening the doors. That is why I am not changing the title. At least for now. So what is going to be all about? I admire all the people who have a clear cut idea about theirContinue reading “Hello world! Ehm, anybody there?”
