Birthday lunch for another friend today, with a surprising boost to alkaline theories! The birthday girl is a cancer survivor, still in chemotherapy but will find out tomorrow how the treatment is progressing. Her oncologist told her that sugar feeds cancers, so she did not want dessert, although the restaurant had some beautiful and tempting ones. I and another friend who were with her didn’t have dessert either.
While I had fish (lox with capers) and a little rye bread and sort of a cheesy mixture to spread on the bread, and therefore cannot say it was alkaline except for the greens that came with it, I did continue my 58-day coffee abstinence, didn't even consider wine, and had a very good ginger-lavender tea. I feel excited and uplifted by the experience because it seems that some allopathic physicians, at least, are understanding more about the roles of our common foods.
Another friend and I walked our dogs around the neighboring lake, noticing that the dogs, off their leashes as the area was deserted except for us, covered ten times as much territory as we did! They are such fun to watch: running like greyhounds, the smaller one as fast as the larger pooch.
