Stories of Success

“I don’t look at meat as the main part of my meal. I eat less meat and more fruits and vegetables. I seek out plant-based recipes.  Lastly, I try and will continue to try to eat foods I have not eaten before, e.g. eggplant and kale. (Still not fond of kale, but at least I tried it.)”

“Two years after finishing the course I am happy to say that I’ve radically changed my diet: I eat only organic foods; I stocked up on local farmer produce and learned how to freeze the veggies and fruits to eat during the winter; I clean my home using white vinegar, Seventh generation products only; I incorporated yoga, meditation, Reiki, and massage into my routine; I did A LOT of focused emotional de-toxing which was tough work but left me much lighter in spirit; I made a concerted effort to move away from negativity (people, events, etc.); developed a balance between solitude and social activities; laughed as much and as often as possible.”

“I am grateful to so many for providing the Anticancer Lifestyle Program. It will affect my health. It will affect my goal of taking better care of myself. And it has provided me with a wonderful new group of friends walking the journey with me.”

“I now use the pedometer every day. I walk instead of driving whenever possible. I climb stairs instead of taking the elevator. I enrolled in a yoga class. I dance in my kitchen. I make sure I continue to stretch my core, use my core muscles for lifting, and praise myself for every step I take.”

“The ACLP is one of the best experiences I have had. It taught me life lessons that I wish I had known decades ago. As an ACLP alum I feel so very lucky in life. Thank you!”

“I knew changes were going to happen, but I think the extent is surprising me still. I’m happy about them. The whole experience renewed my faith in humanity. You learn you have to focus on what I can control. My food, my water, my Pyrex.”

“Excellent session. I continue to be amazed at what I didn’t know and how easy it will be to change to healthier eating.”

“I stopped drinking seltzer from cans and now bring water to work in a metal water bottle. I picked one up for a colleague, too. A bunch of us have lunch together every day and I talk with them regularly about what I learned in the environment section of this course. I try not to be the queen angel of toxins, so I limit myself to discussing it twice a week.”

“I found the online course to be incredibly helpful. It’s inspired me to make many changes to my life that I believe will improve my outcome. You have made a difference in my life.

“I am looking into Yoga as a result of our guest last night. I did not realize how fun and calming yoga is.

“I am taking exercise more seriously trying to do some form of formal exercise every day. I have lost some weight and an inch or two around my waist. I am fine-tuning my eating habits. When I am feeling stressed or tense I practice my breathing meditations with some success. I am focused on eliminating toxins in my environment and replacing them with safer products. I am worrying somewhat less and I feel more hopeful for the future.
