Well, from first hand experience, I can say Dr. Day
changed my life. For the short term, the advice
she offers is right on the money and should be
placed at the top of the list of treatments for cancer.

I am still following Dr. Day and Rev. Malkmus's
Diet, the Hallelujah Diet, with the exception of
eliminating the cooked starches / grains and with
the addition of raw animal foods and some cooked
fish and wild game, which would make me 100%
paleo, and about 75 - 80% raw paleo, at that.

For a medical condition, especially a chronic
degenerative condition or cancer, a short-term
raw vegan program is exactly what is needed
because of its excellent cleansing / detoxing ability.

There is ample, real testimony from real people who healed
themselves following these diets, with my own testimony
included in that.

That these diets don't work LONG TERM for *some*
people is not justification to dismiss the short term
healing abilities of these diets.

Wonder what you are smoking, I guess?  :)

Longevity is not the real issue. Quality of life is the real
issue. So people are living longer...with the extra time
spent laying in bed, half dead or hooked up to machines.

Once again, I agree William.
