This Friday was the end of the 3 week program. everyone that we arrived with (apart from a couple of people and myself) have now left Hippocrates. On Friday everyone gets together and talks about their experience over the last 3 weeks. it was extremely emotional and amazing how this place changes everyone's life. i can pretty much tell you that most people feel the same way as i do, in their own way. they can see the transformation in their physical bodies and mental state. they are all looking forward to their new lives, healthier with higher consciousness of their existence. admittedly not everyone will find it easy, but even a small step, it's a step in the right direction. everyone made a little speech, tears of joy and endless gratitude for the education and care they had received. it was moving. i highly recommend this place to anyone and everyone who wishes to change in their lives for the better. you don't have to be ill like me to start, you can avoid all the trauma.
I know i have not posted since Tuesday, my epic walk and dance. my legs are feeling tried. it's been none stop since i got here. the place is big and i have to walk with crutches every where, from main building to the therapy room, to the poll, to the juice room, to the gym, then home and back etc. most people that are healthy or at least they can walk are complaining how tired they are, now there is me dragging my feet around, in the gym, exercising in the pool and pushing myself (reza style)! and it just all caught up with me. so i've been taking it a little slower, i need to be more patient with my legs. my target of coming home walking won't happen. it will take me longer. but i took those few steps without my crutches and danced without my crutches, and that has given me a world of confidence that i will walk again. i'm happy with this feeling.
Last week coming up. i have a lot more treatments still to do, it's amazing, it just doesn't stop. but once i'm out of here i won't have access to it, so might as well make the most of it.
i'm reading a book called: The China Study. i can't put it down. it's a study on the correlation between food/nutrition and chronic diseases (cancer, heart attack etc). it's easy read and fast, very clear and to the point. highly recommend it. I've been meaning to post a reading list, will do tomorrow. So anyone looking for a good book to read, get this asap, it will blow your mind away and changes your attitude towards your food.
I am so bought into this diet and the effect of food on health. obviously for me it's a matter of life and death, but the more i read, the more sense it all makes. it's great for me. imagine you have a major problem and you start solving it bit by bit. great feeling no? but the rabitt hole is so deep, we have been so poorly informed, it will take months and years, and tons of good books to really understand food.
My friend Kristyan introduced me to the concept of RAW food (and i will be forever grateful). he said just look into it, so i did a little research and for sure just thinking about it, cooking/heat burns food. raw food is whole food, everything in it is in its natural state. i started salads but eating a lot of fruits. one would agree that fruits are living food and full of vitamins and nutrition. one would think, good move. having read and learnt what i have learnt the last 3 weeks, my sudden increase intake of fruits was probably the biggest contributor to my cancer spreading so fast through out my body and hitting my spine etc.. (you know the rest). i was eating tons of dates (super food), apples, carrots, mangos, dried fruits, honey etc, full of sugar. the cancer cells were having a flied day and the candida in my body was flourishing starving my blood of oxygen making the cancer cells even happier. in addition i was trying to eat protein to maintain my weight, once again, as i have learnt animal protein is a huge contributor to cancer
Amazing, when you think you are being healthy, but because of your simple lack of knowledge, you're doing your body, the most important thing you own in the world, devastating damage. why are we so poorly informed!
i have been chatting to the new people arriving here, new groups of people arrive every Sunday. there are 4 different people with stage 4 cancer, same as me. you can imagine how they feel. i was convinced i had made the right decision coming here before i got here, i did a lot of reading and went to the lecture by Dr Clement in London which sealed the deal for me. but for these guys, they are just getting into the program, some talk to their doctors and are still debating if they should go ahead with their chemo. some of these doctors are so pushy, calling them and telling them they have to come back and take it, and sign a contract that they will take a full course! can you believe it. but gradually, after going to a few lectures and reading the handouts, also seeing the change in their body, the confidence levels increase and their attitude changes. this has such an inspiring effect on everyone. i just wish all these people stuck in these hospitals around the world, being pumped these devastating drugs into their veins could see this and experience this. can you imagine, when the nurses give you the chemo, they wear radioactive protective gloves incase the chemo spills, it doesn't hurt their skin. now they're putting that stuff into your body! how does that make any sense! not good for their skin, but good for your internal organs!
after being here fore 3 weeks, i feel 100% confident but 70% competent to sprout and prepare food for myself. this is no game play or role play. i need to get home and start sprouting and continue this strict diet. i have been buying myself all the equipments, basically a whole new kitchen. i've been researching food suppliers, seeds, spices, herbs etc. i have to buy an additional suitcase to bring back my supplements. it feels like a full time job. having legs would make things a lot easier, but that in itself is a humbling experience. to top it all, i have to organise my move to Ibiza. the sooner i get out of London the better, fresh sea air, sunshine and vegetation. i'm the only person on the plane going to Ibiza for healthy living, how ironic!
i'm looking forward to getting visitors, it will be like doing a health eduction program in Ibiza. you will come there and learn all about living food, read the books and eat the good food. how great? i'm looking forward to it.
it's late now, i love you and leave you all.
look forward to some fun informative comments.
our bodies are truly amazing. did you know, we totally regenerate a whole new body every 7 years.
every living cell in our body is brand new after 7 years.
bring it on 2015.
to life force

Reza you are an inspiration to me and I hope you don't mind but I have forwarded your blog on to many of my friends. Everyone can gain an immense amount of knowledge from your succinct writings.
It is incredible journey you have begun and I am certain you will succeed!
Will definitely get over and catch up with you in Ibiza and perhaps you might like to come down and join us in Croatia this summer - it is a wonderfully beautiful place.
Hope to see you soon!
I really hope you don't mind, i have been reading your blog & am so inspired by what you're doing & your whole approach to healing. You have shared your experience with such generosity it has been the next best thing to going to Hippocrates in person !
I was at Brian Clements lecture in London the day after you & was completely inspired by the whole philosophy. I am so happy for you that being there has helped you so much.
I wish you the very best of luck with your continued healing.
Kate
Good to hear from you...you should take it easy, you've already achieved great things like walking some steps without your crutches, the rest will come in time.
The weather has been lovely here.
Mum and Sian are having a wild time on holiday by the sounds of it. Dad is doing what dad does best! Ben and Moh are working hard on MYEGO...it's getting exciting now as we'll have the products soon....then they'll be concentraing on getting those all important SALES.
Moh and I are just off for a walk along the sea wall. See you next week. Lots of Love Jade X
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us all, it means so much to so many. May your last week be really inspiring, and may every day bring a healthier and stronger you.
Dearest Reza,
It's a wonderful thing when we realize our limits and listen to our body carefully. You are very much in tune with yours. It is obvious that you have come A LONG WAY in three weeks. And it is guaranteed you will accomplish A LOT MORE, given the time.
After talking with a friend about you, he was reminded of this beautiful poem by E. E. Cummings, and I thought it was so lovely and appropriate. I hope you'll like it also:
7
because you take your life in stride(instead
e. e. cummings, 95 poems, 1958
because you take your life in stride(instead
of scheming how to beat the noblest game
a man can proudly lose,or playing dead
and hoping death himself will do the same
because you aren’t afraid to kiss the dirt
(and consequently dare to climb the sky)
because a mind no other mind should try
to fool has always failed to fool your heart
but most(without the smallest doubt)because
no best is quite so good you don’t conceive
a better;and because no evil is
so worse than worst you fall in hate with love
--human one mortally immortal i
can turn immense all time’s because to why
Love,
Nadereh
Hey Rez,
All Im thinking is those new people dont stand a chance with you around !! The proof is in the pudding as they say and even though the walking hasn't developed as quickly as you may have liked, its started, and it will come again I'm sure of it.
Thinking of you always and looking forward to seeing the results in person before you jet off to Beefa....such a good call heading over there.....
Enjoy your last week and squeeze every last green juicy bit out of it!
Love as a big hug..
Nicks xxxxxxxxxx
Hey Rezy, again youre a joy to read and looking forward to hanging out in Ibiza for some good livin!! Cant wait to get some first hand lessons from the expert! Keep up the good vibes darlin, sounds like youre just getting higher and higher! Big kisses from the bambinito! xxxxxxxxx
I am moved just like everyone else whenever I read your blog. However, you are as impatient as ever. As you pointed out in an earlier blog you saved your life by going over there, so that's 1 miracle already achieved. Now to achieve a second miracle in the space of 4 weeks would be asking a little too much. Don't forget you are there to learn and take those teachings back with you to your new life. The rehabilitation process will take a little longer and more patience is required. Given your dedication and mental strength its only a matter of time before you walk again without the crutches. I am 100% sure of it.
Save the best for later. Imagine how wonderful it would be to go back to Hippocrates one day fully recovered?
Make the most of the weather too over there. Its April showers galore here.
Enjoy your final week.
Lots of love
Moh

PS- Za you are so funny man. Its great to see you still have your sense of humour after all these years.
Hiya
I have just oredred the china study as so many people have recommended it to me and now you have too....
I have just dusted off my juicer and ordered extra green stuff from my organic box scheme people (riverford.co.uk - if you live near devon/dorset been using them for about 6months with no issues and great quality)
Are you planning to keep up your blog when you leave H? Your writing is so inspiring it would be great if you can find time to keep it up.
Love Emma xx
Reading the blog has made us all think of many aspects of our life. It has also raised questions over what we put into our bodies on a daily basis. It got me thinking about the human body and I found some interesting facts that I thought you may enjoy reading:
A person can live without food for about 40 days, but only about 7 days without water, 6-8 minutes without air, and literally an instant without Life Force.
The heart beats about 3 billion times in the average person's lifetime.
A newborn baby has 350 bones, but a fully-grown adult has only 206.
Blood is a liquid organ.
Everyone is colorblind at birth.
Our lungs inhale over two million liters of air every day, without even thinking. The surface area of the lungs is approximately the same size as a tennis court.
Food will get to your stomach even if you're standing on your head.
Skin is the largest body organ.
The average adult is made up of 100 trillion cells.
There are more bacteria in your body than the number of cells in your body. There are an estimated 75 to 100 trillion cells in the human body.
Our brain is more complex than the most powerful computer and has over 100 billion nerve cells.
The cornea, the outermost layer of the eye, is the only living tissue in the human body without blood vessels? It receives nutrients from tears and from the aqueous humor.
Each cell in your body has an estimated 6 to 8 feet of DNA.
The total length of your circulatory system stretches an amazing 60,000 miles. That is more than twice the distance around the Earth.
In one square inch of skin there are four yards of nerve fibers, 600 pain sensors, 1300 nerve cells, 9000 nerve endings, 36 heat sensors, 75 pressure sensors, 100 sweat glands, 3 million cells, and 3 yards of blood vessels.
Except for your brain cells, 50,000,000 of the cells in your body will have died and been replaced with others, all while you have been reading this sentence.
Your heart beats about 100,000 times in one day and about 40,000,000 times a year. In one hour the heart works hard enough to produce enough energy to raise almost one ton of weight one yard from the ground.
The liver is often called the body's chemical factory. Scientists have counted over 500 liver functions.
The central nervous system is connected to every part of the body by 43 pairs of nerves. Twelve pairs go to and from the brain, with 31 pairs going from the spinal cord. There are nearly 45 miles of nerves running through our bodies.
Messages travel along the nerves as electrical impulses. They travel at speeds up to 248 mile per hour.
Our eyes can distinguish up to one million color surfaces and take in more information than the largest telescope known to man.
Our hearing is so sensitive it can distinguish between hundreds of thousands of different sounds.
Our sense of touch is more refined than any device ever created.
We give birth to 100 billion red blood cells every day and about two million red blood cells every second.
When we touch something, we send a message to our brain at 124 mph.
We have over 600 muscles.
We exercise at least 30 muscles when we smile.
We are about 70 percent water.
We make one liter of saliva a day.
Our nose is our personal air-conditioning system: it warms cold air, cools hot air and filters impurities.
We have copper, zinc, cobalt, calcium, manganese, phosphates, nickel and silicon in our bodies.
If you yelled for 8 years, 7 months and 6 days you would have produced enough sound energy to heat one cup of coffee.
During the first month of life, the number of connections or synapses, dramatically increases from 50 trillion to 1 quadrillion. If an infant's body grew at a comparable rate, his weight would increase from 8.5 pounds at birth to 170 pounds at one month old.
The average life of a taste bud is 10 days.
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC...
Our bodies contain enough water to fill a ten-gallon tank.
We have enough carbon to manufacture 900 pencils.
Fingernails are one of the human body's strongest components. They contain keratin, which is also found in rhino horns, which refuses to erode after death.
Babies are not fully naked in the womb. In fact, their entire bodies are usually covered in a thin layer of dark hair by the end of the fifth month of pregnancy, which disappear when the baby is born.
People blink once every four seconds. That's because the eyelashes act as windscreen wipers, keeping dust and grime from getting into the eye itself.
Humans are one of the only mammals who are unable to 'turn' their ears in order to hear approaching predators.
An embryo is genderless for the first 6-8 weeks of pregnancy. Only after that the body decides whether the baby will be a boy or girl through dominant hormones that emerge.
Every tongue has its own individual print, which is unique to each person.
The big toe is actually one of the most important elements within the body, as it balances the skeleton and enables the owner to move forward when walking without it, we would simply fall over.
If the population of China walked by you in single file the line would never end because of the rate of reproduction.
If a person has two-thirds of their liver removed from trauma or surgery, it will grow back to its original size in four weeks time.
On average, you breathe 23,000 times a day. You take about 600 million breaths during your lifetime.
Among the top ten causes of death in the US are toxic reactions to correctly prescribed drugs, which make more than two million Americans seriously ill every year, and kill 106,000 more. Incorrectly prescribed drugs account for another 90,000 deaths each year!
The odds of being struck by lightning are about 600,000 to one.
It is normal to lose 100 hairs per day from the scalp.
We take about 600 million breaths during our lifetime.
There are more bacteria in your mouth than the human population of US and Canada combined.
There are more than 1,000 chemicals in a cup of coffee. Of these, only 26 have been tested, and half caused cancer in rats.
The average human body contains enough: Sulfur to kill all fleas on an average dog, Carbon to make 900 pencils, Potassium to fire toy cannon, Fat to make 7 bars of soap, Phosphorus to make 2,200 match heads, and enough water to fill a ten gallon tank.
If you could save all the times your eyes blink in one lifetime and use them all at once you would see blackness for 1.2 years!
WOW! Parker,
What fascinating information about our body! The funny thing is, I found it so interesting, I read it all!!
Now only if I could remember most of it. Is there anything about how many brain cells we lose as we get older, and this is without taking any drugs! I feel it's getting worse every year.
Between you and Reza, I think you can start your own health institute. Sign me up as your first student!
All the best,
Nadereh
Reza, may you Rest In Peace in the knowledge that you made a big difference in the lives of those of us fortunate enough to have met you. From your Hippocrates friends, Lilla (Mom) and David
Hi Reza Jan
Just wanted to say I´m thinking of you my great friend. Life is good in Denmark, hope you are also cherishing it up there and keeping an eye on us. I have so changed my ways since our last post, thanks to you I am now living life. Miss you. Ardy
