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 angry with Robert that he said, “Robert, you will be dead in four months if you do not go through with the surgery and chemotherapy!”

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

Fabulous autobiographical story about a Philadelphia physician and hospital administrator who has metastatic prostate cancer. One day, feeling hopeless, and resigned to an early and painful death, he picks up some hitchhikers. They ask him why he is so depressed, and upon hearing about his condition, they pronounce it not so difficult to cure. Of course, the Dr. is very skeptical, but he agrees to meet their friends and so is introduced to macrobiotics. The book is about Dr. Sattilaro’s healing journey and how his new macrobiotic food and friends help him return to good health and give him back his life.To Dr. Sattilaro’s surprise, the life to which he returns is much richer and filled with infinite gratitude.

Holy moly!  A cure so easy! Could I really believe a macrobiotic diet could be it?  Well, there was the proof, Robert Aronson.

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!
