This possibly may be only semi-related or tangentially related, and
as well mainly just anecdotal, to this "Curing cancer with food"
thread, but for what One spring a few years ago, I noted on my cheek a
small cluster of blemishes, sort of, --kind of not too too
significant-seeming, but it occurred to me I had first noted them
about a year before, and upon refection about what I understood about
what skin cancer spots looked like, yes these were a little
uncomfortably like that. And what if this had been ongoing for that
whole year, with me just not quite noticing very much?
So, being in the blueberry business, and the bearing season coming up
soon, I decided I would see if I could make a point of ramping up my
blueberry consuming--tending in season to be liberal already--to a
particularly high level, daily when possible.
So, during July, August, and much of September, I ate I guess about
(an average of) a pint to a pint and a half probably the large
majority of days.

Come about the end of the growing and marketing season, and the
chance to slow down a little, take more note of things, etc, one day
looking in the mirror, I noted, no more my long standing
blemish/problem spot--gone, completely, no trace remaining at all!
And I had had another reason for feeling particularly good about
this--a brother of mine, just one year different in age, that same
year had mentioned to me that he had run into facial blemishes which
proved to be skin cancer which he had had to have removed. And though
in complexion and hair as my platinum blond brother, I'm still on
that hazardous (for skin cancer) light side, it was me, not him, who's
had the outdoor career.

Again, this experience is just anecdotal. But when you're the one who
thinks he's maybe just dodged a potentially serious problem, I think
you're apt to feel pretty ready to probably credit at least
tentatively, the disease fighting, health promoting aspects of a
measure you took...In this case, heavily dieting upon an item
chock-full of antioxidant/anthocyanin: wild blueberries.

I became so impressed with wild blueberries that I started propagating
them, partly in case I decide to include some in my blueberry
plantation project which otherwise of course, is just cultivated ones.
