When we are growing old or face a serious illness and the doctors can't
help, we start to look around for alternatives: healthy diet, food supplements,
magic pills, alternative therapies, change of lifestyle and so on. The trouble
is there is so much advice about what to eat and what not, what pills to take
or what exercise to do. Which leads to a creeping suspicion that much of
it is not serious.
I often find it best to talk to somebody who has faced a serious problem
and has come through it.
Mitch, I can understand if you don't want to go into details, but how about
sharing some of the generalities and ideas, as they may relate to serious
illness in general?

Thank you for that link.A brief snippet from my experience might help emphasize my interest in this subject. I had been studying gardening & food for about 18 months when I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia, for which there is no cure. Let me tell you, "Leukemia" is a word that gets your attention. Unsurprisingly, my interest in growing food for excellent nutrition ratcheted up a bit. The generalities and ideas are not too difficult; implementation is quite daunting.E. E. "Mitch" Mitchamore

subject. I haven't read Jeavons' book in depth in quite a few years.
While I realize it wants to cover a balanced diet...I wasn't interested
in that back when. Also, my idea about what is food is different than
his. So basically, you have to figure a lot out for yourself.
One thing that might help people do this is : http://whfoods.org/
There's also a book you can buy with the info in it. It is NOT a cook
book although it does contain some recipes. It is a nutrition and how to
prepare food so it retains most of its nutrition book. It has been
getting some noise on one of my gardening lists.
Happy Growing,
Morgan
