            As I took this stand, I was directed to other people with cancer issues who had fought and beaten it with a special diet that was mostly raw foods. It consists mainly of fruit, vegetables, and grains. I had to eliminate all sugar, milk, cheese, all processed foods, and � well, the list goes on forever. The diet can be found at www.hacres.com.

            Like many people, I was a junk food junkie and loved my Reese�s candy bars and double stuff Oreos. Changing what we put in our bodies can be a huge challenge and a very big, bad habit to change.  Those who succeed know that truly, nothing is impossible with the right motivation. I was going to tackle this disease with Faith and Food. I love to research, and when this diet thing came up I went nuts studying. I noticed that most people fighting cancer did a lot of juicing. Carrots, apples, green leafy vegetables, etc� so I bought a juicer and then a juice press to get the most out of the juice. I was going to go all out and drink or eat whatever was necessary. I was willing to suck it down, if it was going to bring health to me. This diet had apparently worked for others, so maybe it would work for me.

            The pressure in the eye and even the blindness in the lower part had not even been too much of a thought in light of the new discovery of the melanoma. I was on one eye drop and apparently the second valve surgery was doing its thing since the pressure had stabilized. I could see pretty good (20-40) out of the eye, so I just set my sights in to eat right, believe right, and expect God to heal. I had some healing scriptures that I printed off and would read them for encouragement. Eating healthy was fun, and I actually enjoyed it except for the cravings for Mexican food. That was brutal. Missy also joined me on this diet which was, and is a great support. I added a number of supplements with the food that I was eating to help restore the immune system so that it could do its part in fighting off the disease. Missy was very instrumental in the research and preparation of the food and supplements and there is no way that I could have done any of this without her love.
