Cancer survivor credits vegan habits
Contributed by VeggieGirl
Forty-eight-year-old Mary Bukowiec is a breast cancer "survivor" in
the true sense of the word.
...
She lives with a history of cancer.
Bukowiec chose a lifestyle change by becoming a vegan rather than
conventional cancer treatments.
"I read everything," Bukowiec said. "At one time, I thought that I was
too sophisticated to fall for any alternative treatment."
Following her first diagnosis of breast cancer, Bukowiec said that she
followed everything that was recommended to her by medical
professionals.
But when the cancer returned four years later, she was shattered. And
she chose an alternative treatment that changed her life.
"I had to change my mind about that," Bukowiec said. "I started
reading scientific journals, and literature on diet and lifestyle.
"And the effects of a plant based diet and how it can help you from
getting cancer."
She said that everything she read about alternative treatments hinted
to plant based diets.
"Incredible forces led me in that direction," Bukowiec said. "After I
read 'A Cancer Battle Plan,' I decided that I am going to fight this.
