Dear Hallie,

I am so sorry this email slipped through and I didn’t see it till now.

I have copied my nurse so she can help field questions/and be sure I see all the communications.

I can talk in the next day or so or over the weekend to catch up.

See below for my answers – also see this recent article about marijuana and brain tumors – it is one of the key things I suggested at our first meeting.

How is Beau doing?  Have you been working with Jeanne?

Please let me know when you would like to talk.

Be well,

Mark

Hi Mark,
Are you available anytime today to talk?
I do have some questions..
1) what to eat when stomach having issues? — WHAT KIND OF ISSUES — ? IS HE HAVING BLOATING/DIARRHEA/GAS/CONSTIPATION?
2) why not dairy? It has the least amount of sugar/carbs.. IT IS VERY INFLAMMATORY AND IS LINKED TO MANY TYPES OF CANCER AND HAS CANCER CAUSING GROWTH HORMONES IN IT
3) we met a friend who has the same diagnosis as Beau, He is doing really well. They (monitored through Johns Hopkins)have put him on a modified Atkins diet. He was having seizures from the GBM. He is doing really well on it, seizures decreased and speech and motor improvements. Just thought it was interesting and I wanted to share it with you. YES THIS IS THE DIET I RECOMMENDED WHICH IS MY 10 DAY DETOX DIET – BUT WITH LOTS OF LOW STARCH PLANT FOODS
4) Do gluten free things work on your diet or does it still have carbs?  NO GLUTEN FREE PRODUCTS  BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOTS OF SUGAR AND STARCH WHICH IS HARMFUL TO BRAIN
5) how about almond meal for pancakes and pizza crust? -THAT WORKS!
6)are there any tortilla's (engine 9?)that he can eat to wrap things in like eggs or chicken? how about a little rice paper for "spring rolls" at restaurant?  A LITTLE RICE PAPER CAN WORK BUT IT IS NOT THAT LOW GLYCEMIC
7)Your diet seems similar to the paleo diet, what are the differences?  IT IS MUCH HIGHER IN PHYTONUTRIENTS –SEE MY ARTICLE PALEO-VEGAN  http://drhyman.com/blog/2014/11/07/pegan-paleo-vegan/
8)what about bean soups? too much carbs? Lentil? split pea? Minestrone without the pasta?  I WOULD AVOID IT AND GO ON A VERY LOW CARB DIET -
9) how about garbanzo beans added to salad? SAME AS ABOVE
10) How about soy? Tofu? soybeans?  THIS CAN BE OK – TEMPEH OR TOFU – NON GMO ORGANIC – BECAUSE IS IS VERY LOW GLYCEMIC

At this point we are thinking to hold off on the bloodwork for Beau. We can discuss this on the phone if you would like. We are happy with the Diet and how he is feeling on it. We are not sure if we are ready for the supplements at this time. The diet and meds he is on, PT, OT, Speech,  MRI's, and bi-weekly treatments is all consuming and we are not sure if ready to add more yet.  I DO THINK THE LABS AND THE SUPPLEMENTS CAN MAKE A BIG BIG DIFFERENCE.. HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT THAT TOO.. LET ME KNOW WHEN IS GOOD – WE CAN DO SKYPE – I AM IN LONDON FOR THE WEEK.
I am at work but should be available to talk after 1:00.
Are you available then?
Thanks,
Hallie

Hi Hallie,

Glad to get a progress update.  Do you know if he did the labs that I gave Howard to do with you?
I will be around tomorrow and would love to catch up.
Does that work for you?

Be well,
Mark

Hi Mark,
The diet is going well. Beau has been easy about the food changes and he feels good eating well. He started a second dose of his medication and he hasn't been feeling great since Saturday. I actually wanted to ask what to give him when his stomach is off from meds. That is when I want to give him more starchy foods for his stomach. I gave him grainy bread with almond butter. He did not want veggies or nuts or protein..  Additionally, Beau has started PT OT and Speech 3 days a week and life has been busy with the kids and activities. ​I can try to call you this afternoon to catch-up. If I don't reach you I will try tomorrow.
Thanks so much,
Hallie

Dear Beau and Family,

I just wanted to check back in today to review your progress and review the plan.
We were waiting for labs to be done locally and for you to have a time to come up here to visit.
I have a lot of time this week if it works for you and early next week.
How’s it going with the diet? Did you get the supplements?
I am free to talk today – 413 446 33032.

Be well,

Mark
