Swayze is battling inoperable pancreatic cancer, and it has been suggested that he only has two years to live.

This is very sad. I hope that somehow his health can turn around.

I am a big fan of Patrick Swayze. A couple of months ago, a friend of ours was diagnosed with lymph cancer which had spreaqd to his marrow and his spleen. It was so pervasive that Kemo would kill him, so he went on a 30 day liquid fast, directed by alternative practitioners and nutritionists, including a regiment of detoxing, cleansing, and a change in his life style.

He is growing stronger every day. Diet is everything! Cancer (and arthritis) cannot develop in an alkaline ph body chemistry, and that is achievable by eating lots of natural green raw foods, like complex salads, and absolutely no processed foods and sugars. We are what we eat.
