During my stay in hospital, I was figuring out ways to not get Leukaemia again. As if I would want it again anyway. The answer was sooooo simple. EAT GOOD FOOD. And plenty of it. But there was one problem. What happens when you're not hungry. Well, when I finished my treatment, I was eating basically junk. Plenty of fried food. Actually, all I was eating was chicken sausages and chips. That's all I craved. Breakfast Lunch and dinner was the same. Then it hit me. Buy Multi-Vitamins and Anti-Oxidants. I went to the supermarket and loaded up. I'm sure they won't mind a free plug but I bought Blackmores Bio-Ace Anti-Oxidants and Multi-Vitamins. Plus I also bought some Vitamin C tablets. That's when I started loading my body with the good stuff. Religiously, I took these pills every day without fail. I still eat junk food once in a while but I eat the good stuff too.
If you want to know what I have been doing exactly to stop getting Leukaemia again, here it is.
I take the vitamins, 1 each day. I take 2 Vitamin C Tablets a day. 1 of the Tablets contains 1000mg of Vitamin C. Please remember, if you plan on taking that much Vitamin C, you must drink plenty of water to flush out any leftover Vitamin C that the body may not need, otherwise, the liver will have a hard time breaking it down and the liver has enough to do with trying to get the rest of the body back in the balance. I exercise regularly to sweat out any toxins I may have in my body. I drink 3-4 litres of water a day, purified through a water filter. I eat everything, including red meat. I was not going to eat it but my doctor advised me to eat it as long as I have enough fibre in my diet because the fibre will clean me out.
The key thing which I will never stop drinking is Wheat Grass Juice. A friend of mine by the name of Stacey told me that one of his friends had Leukaemia. She drank Wheat Grass Juice everyday and after 2 or 3 months, the Leukaemia was gone, wiped out. PLEASE, don't think this works for everybody with Leukaemia. Listen to your doctor. This happens by chance and is not guaranteed. After my treatment I have been drinking Wheat Grass Juice but I am still not sorry I went through chemo. I was not about to play with my life like that.
Today, I am happy, healthy and back to normal. No-one can believe I had Cancer. And when I finally convince them that I did have Cancer, they assume it wasn't that bad. I have color now that I didn't have before and my energy levels are back to normal if not greater.
I consider this a great achievement because the type of Leukaemia that I had can come back very easily. Myeloid Leukaemia patients have a 30% to 50% chance of achieving total remission and my doctor has told me that I am doing very well. There can be many complications associated with post Leukaemia patients, but I think I have been doing the right thing. Nutritionists say that Multi-vitamins do not help. Maybe they are right but I won't take that chance. I will not take risks with my life.
