Cancer: The Macrobiotic Diet Saved Robert’s Life
Cancer: The Macrobiotic Diet Saved Robert’s Life by Terry Ryan, Health Blogger
It has been a year since the first time I had my blood analysis done by Robert Aronson, president of Preventive Screening Services, (see my post about it HERE) and I was curious to see how I, hopefully, improved. Robert had told me that I was showing signs of leaky gut, anemia, and liver damage. He gave me a list of supplements to take and said to stay away from Advil which I was taking to fight off pain from inflammation. My legs ached at night.
I did just what he recommended, and a year later I was back to see how I fared. I did great! My blood showed I improved remarkably, and no leaky gut, no signs of liver damage, and healthy blood count. “Take a picture of it,” Robert said enthusiastically as he pointed at the screen.
My phone was back home charging up on the night table so I wasn’t able to take a picture. But I was happy to see the results.
Was I surprised? Not really because I had stuck to clean eating, eliminating sugar, and taking my supplements. The pain in my legs had ceased so I no longer needed daily Advil which can affect the liver.
Robert doesn’t mince words. He is one busy man who has devoted himself to promoting holistic health to anyone who will listen. He travels around Florida, health store to health store, and does blood analysis procedures. There usually is a line of people who have reserved a half hour time slot with Robert, and there can be no unnecessary small talk. He likes to get right down to business.
Well, lucky for him, I was a repeat customer so he didn’t have to go through the normal descriptions and pictures of what he was going to do, and what to expect. I told him to get right to the chase.
He gently rubbed the tip of my finger with alcohol and pricked it with a needle device so quickly that I hardly felt anything. Then he applied the drop of my blood on a glass plate and placed it under the high-powered microscope. He looked up at the large screen and turned the tip of the microscope until my blood cells were all in focus.
While he was doing this, I figured it was a good time to shoot some questions at him. The prior time that we met, I thought I was going to have time to thoroughly interview him for my blog, Slim Healthy Sexy. Heck no! Robert goes at the speed of light. He talks fast and there is very little time for idle chit chat. He has one mission and that is to examine your blood. Then he is scribbling suggestions down and jumping out of his seat to hand other people waiting in line a clipboard to fill out, or to grab a supplement he thinks you should take. What a whirlwind! Whirlwind but in a very nice way.
I was prepared this time having an entire year to think about what he told me. No, it wasn’t about me, it was about him. He told me that years ago, while he owned several fan stores (this is Florida and ceiling fans are a staple) he was experiencing tremendous abdominal pain. He went to his doctor who ordered a CT scan, and a large mass was detected in Robert’s colon. That along with some startling blood lab results confirmed that he had STAGE 4 colon cancer. Acutely alarmed, understandably so, the doctor told Robert that he needed surgery immediately followed up by chemotherapy. Now, I don’t know how a person can summon up the emotional strength to do this after just learning that he had colon cancer, but Robert said, “let me think about this.” Or something to that effect.
Robert went home and researched and decided to try a macrobiotic diet. He called his doctor and cancelled the surgery, and informed him what he was going to do. The doctor was so a
Not only did the doctor FIRE Robert as a patient he stopped his pain prescription. Boy, what guts it must takes to turn down your conventional doctor who writes the prescription for your pain medication, and has told you you were going to DIE within months! I can’t image having that kind of courage.
Robert told me that he had too many things going on to stop for cancer surgery. What?! Too much going on? Fan stores and a family to support vs. being treated for cancer. Wow!
Anyway, he is sitting right next to me years later so obviously the macrobiotic diet worked. I asked him (see, I’m getting more questions in this time) how did he find out about the macrobiotic diet besides just stumbling on it on Google? He said he was inspired by a Life Magazine story by Anthony Satillano. I could not find the Life Magazine article but I did find his book on Amazon. Click here to purchase it. HERE
Holy moly! A cure so easy! Could I really believe a macrobiotic diet could be it? Well, there was the proof, Robert Aronson.
Here is a link to the macrobiotic diet. Click here!
Robert told me he called his former doctor 14 months after he was FIRED as a patient. The doctor was SHOCKED that Robert was still alive. Intrigued the doctor asked him to come in for testing and much to his amazement, Robert was free of all signs of cancer. That was 20 years ago.
Here are the supplements Robert suggested I take after my last blood analysis:
Probiotics-Garden of life 30-50 Billion per day TO ORDER CLICK HERE
TO ORDER CLICK HERE per day, Country Life and take with Co-Enzymy B Complex
“It wards off dementia and Alzheimer,” he said.
I will definitely add probiotics and B12 to my daily supplements.
Thanks, Robert. Glad you’re still with us!

I Tried The Golden Milk Recipe For Insomnia
I tried the Golden Milk recipe for insomnia, by Terry Ryan
Ah yes, the Golden Milk…its name derived from the yellow color from the focus ingredient, turmeric. (Also know as Golden Tea!). I believe I saw the recipe on Facebook sponsored by the Paleo Mom.
Follow me on Twitter.com/mslakegeorge
I looked up several other sites that had the Golden Milk recipe and some were slightly different. I decided to go with Paleo Mom’s because it was the first one I saw and well, looked good so let’s give it a try.
Who is it for?
If you have insomnia, you may want to check this recipe out. I have suffered with insomnia for years…should say HAD suffered. It no longer is a monkey on my back.
Check out my book: How I Kicked Insomnia to The Curb
Occasionally, I will have a short bout of insomnia; but nothing as bad as not being able to sleep for days in a row. But sometimes, I have a difficult time falling asleep or waking up in the wee hours of the morning wide awake. I will admit, in times of stress when I really need a good night sleep, and I am having an insomnia spell, I will take an Ambien, a prescription sleeping pill. But the hopes of finding a NATURAL REMEDY got my interest, so I tried the Golden Milk.
The 7 ingredients are: (You don’t have to run around. Purchase all the ingredients by clicking on the links below through Amazon. They are affiliate links so I do get a couple of pennies when you order this way. Keeps the web site up and running.
- Water (from the Ganges River…only kidding. Just good ole H20)
- Turmeric
- Coconut Milk (use unsweetened)
- Coconut oil
- Ginger fresh
- Peppercorns
- Stevia
I wrote down the list and briskly determined what I had and had not in my pantry and off the to the grocery store I went.
I used Organic Turmeric spice
Organic cinnamon spice
Organic Coconut Oil I found at Trader Joe’s
McCormick whole peppercorns
Organic fresh ginger root that I had purchased at the local organic farm (Jessica’s located in Sarasota)
Stevia…sugar substitute youcan pu rchase in any grocery store now
The procedure…
Take 1/2 cup of water and put in a saucepan on med heat. Add 1/4 cup of turmeric. Cook down until you have a turmeric paste. Spoon into a spare jar you have saved from the last time you used pasta sauce. You can store this in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. This is the hardest part (after you have shopped for all the ingredients).
I sprinkled more cinnamon on top.
Now take a saucepan, add 2 cups coconut milk (for the purpose of full disclosure, I used organic almond milk which is fine), 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 tsp of coconut oil, 1 tsp of chopped ginger, 4 to 6 whole peppercorns, and 1 teaspoon of the turmeric paste. Simmer that all together for about 5 mins, then strain into two mugs and add a packet of Stevia for sweetness…but I
bet a spoonful of raw honey would be good too!
I shared this concoction with my better half, and we both liked it. The turmeric wasn’t overwhelming and the ginger and cinnamon gave it a nice taste.
ZZZZzzzzzzz And…I slept like a baby. Deep sleep like back when you were 10 years old and it’s snowing outside and you’re snuggled under a down comforter. Must admit, I had some wild dreams but not sure that was related to the Golden Milk.
The science behind all the ingredients: (All the ingredients must be used for the formula to work. Oh and take before bedtime.)
Turmeric fights inflammation. See my post on turmeric HERE
Ginger offers strong antioxidant capacity and has similarly enjoyed a long history of use in folk medicine where it is traditionally used to ease stomach upset or to ease the symptoms of colds.
Cinnamon is one of the most beneficial spices on earth, giving it antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-microbial, immunity-boosting, cancer and heart disease-protecting abilities.
Peppercorns contain a good amount of minerals like potassium, calcium, zinc, manganese, iron, and magnesium.
Coconut oil help provide your body with the necessary building blocks to manufacture sleep hormones.
Stevia is just for taste. A natural sweetener.
I have read reviews and I think the Millennials were protesting about all the ingredients/steps. Millennials are forever in a hurry and simmering something in a saucepan isn’t their idea of a good time. However, and to my surprise, I found this in the heath food store. Just a couple teaspoons in water and hocus pocus…Golden Milk. Do I think this will work as well as making it from scratch? Probably not, but if you hate the idea off mixing up all the ingredients, then give this a try. Click here to purchase.
The easy way to make the tea.

My view while writing this blog…
Who is the Medical Medium?
Who is the Medical Medium and what does he claims causes autoimmune disease? by Terry Ryan, Health Blogger
The medical medium is, Anthony William, the now famous author of the New York Times best selling book, Medical Medium. According to William, he has the miraculous talent of being able to diagnose illnesses in individuals just by being close to them. Previously, he was giving phone consultations for $500.00, but he is now so popular and busy that he has suspended one on one consultations, according to his web site. He does however, have a few great YouTube videos that I would recommend that you watch. Just type in Medical Medium in the search bar.
“Anthony William’s God-given gift for healing is nothing short of miraculous. This landmark book sharing Anthony’s immense knowledge of how to prevent and combat disease will impact the medical community for decades. Don’t wait for this information trickles its way into the mainstream in to 15 years. Buy this book and start getting healthier right now.”
-David James Elliot, Scorpion, Trumbo, Mad Men, CSI:NY

The most prominent message that William promotes throughout his book is that autoimmune disease is caused by Epstein Barr Virus (EBV). Many people remember catching the “kissing disease” in high school or college called mononucleosis. Its main symptom was debilitating fatigue. What many people don’t realize is the virus stays in their body in a dormant state, and will SOMETIMES be activated again when people are in a high stress and low immune condition.
>>Click here for the Holistic Epstein Barr Virus Protocol recommendations.<<<
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), also known as human herpes virus 4, is a member of the herpes virus family. It is one of the most common human viruses. EBV is found all over the world. Most people get infected with EBV at some point in their lives. EBV spreads most commonly through bodily fluids, primarily saliva. According to William, it is the ROOT OF ALL AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES.
Symptoms:
Symptoms of EBV infection can include
- fatigue
- fever
- inflamed throat
- swollen lymph nodes in the neck
- enlarged spleen
- swollen liver
- rash
Not everyone is convinced that EBV is the cause of everyone’s autoimmune diseases. In Isabella Wentz book, The Root Cause, there are 6 main causes.
- Your genes. Family history sets you up. (Not sure I agree with this.)
- Gluten Sensitivity. If you have an autoimmune disease, you most likely have a gluten sensitivity.
- Glutamine and Zinc depletion
- Parasites! (Ugh! Didn’t see that one coming.)
-
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Caused by taking too many antibiotics, eating too much junk food.
- Candida (Fungal infection)
And if you read other books…you will get different takes on WHAT CAUSES AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE? Confused? You bet!
Do not ask traditional medicine this question. “What causes autoimmune disease?” They are educated on how to treat a disease and not how to prevent it or the root cause. How do they treat autoimmune disease? They treat the symptoms with medications.

William has a deep and raspy voice with almost a tinge of somebody who smoked too many cigarettes. He laughs freely and often, and is incredibly passionate about what he preaches. He calls the voice he hears speaking into his ear, Spirit. His first scan (reading from Spirit) was at the age of 4 when he pointed at his grandmother and said, “Lung cancer!” Obviously his family was baffled that a 4 year-old would say lung cancer, but unfortunately for the grandmother, she indeed did have lung cancer diagnosed a few weeks later by a doctor.
For a while, William wanted to turn the voice off that was speaking in his ear, Spirit. He would shimmy up trees trying to get as far away from the voice as he could, but to his dismay, the voice was always to be with him. Eventually, he accepted it as his duty and privilege to be able to diagnose people.
I’ve seen him give health readings on TV to the host of whatever talk show he was on. He told one woman that she didn’t need to worry about the calcium deposit in her breast that was showing up on the mammogram that had her and her doctor concerned. Needless to say, she was relieved, and she had not mentioned any of her health problems or concerns prior to the scan. He also said she had a thyroid problem that needed to be addressed. (Ugh! Who doesn’t????)
On another show, he told the host that she had an inflamed pancreas and she burst out with, “I knew it!” Seems she had been suffering with a pain in the right side of her rib cage, and had already made an appointment with her doctor. He also told her, much to her shock, that she had a kidney stone.
William is not the first medical medium. Edgar Cayce (March 18, 1877 – January 3, 1945) is a historically famous medium who had the talent to diagnose ill people just by looking at them. You can read more about Edgar Cayce, a fascinating person, by clicking on this link. EDGAR CAYCE

Here is Anthony William’s new cookbook.
William is a proponent of fruit and lots of it. Just like the poor avocado a few years ago, fruit has taken on a bad reputation that it was not good for you. How can something that is made by nature, as long as it isn’t drenched in harmful chemicals or corrupted by GMOs, be bad for you? Yes, fruit contains sugar but your body and brain need the right kind of sugar that fruit contains.
Fruit saved me. When I upped my fruit intake, I was able to energize my body so I was able to return to activities that for a while, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, had prevented me from doing.
Medical Medium, the book, covers a lot of topics towards healing including, medication, menopause, Lyme disease, gut health, essential angels, etc.
I give the book 5 stars just for the reason it answers a lot of questions for me. The book also gives HOPE that there is a way back to health. I always thought my autoimmune disease was brought on by EBV that I came down with after attending the Montreal Boat Show in 1991, and it rears its ugly head every once in a while, usually when I least need it to. Anthony William confirmed my intuition.
