We just came across this link to Walgreen’s page for help with chemotherapy side effects. It’s not all new to us, but it does put a lot of information on one page which is very helpful when time is of the essence. Knowledge is power!! Help yourself whenever possible and reach out when you cannot. Asking for help is just one more part of cancer care.
Here’s the link.

Howdy fellow juicers and blenders, healthy eater, and cancer thrivers,
Here’s our Turmeric Tuesday recipe(s). Enjoy! And remember, it’s so easy to add just a dash of turmeric to almost anything you are eating. Just remember that the presence of black pepper and/or a healthy fat like olive or coconut oil, nuts, or avocados greatly increases the bio-availability (according to most researchers) of the curcumin in turmeric.
This recipe comes from a Pinterest page called GrowForageCookFerment (http://www.growforagecookferment.com/how-to-make-a-turmeric-bug/) .

Here’s an article that we shared 3 years ago today to helped us move forward with The Mama Edna Project. We found it on trihealth.com and it really drills down to the basic reasons to add juicing to your daily regimen, especially if you have immunity issues or have a digestive tract that is compromised due to a health disorder or disease like cancer or due to their treatment plans.
Andrew will be teaching a juicing class with Lee Newlin of Peaceful River Farms in Chapel Hill, NC on Saturday, March 7th, 2015. Please go to the farm’s website for details on how to register. Please join us in turning locally raised produce into healthy juices. See below for Lee’s complete class schedule for the early part of the year.
