A quick note on sugar:  There are some theories about cancer and sugar on the web.  Please research it and make your own decisions. You can easily use a sugar substitute. We used real sugar in the recipes below for the chemotherapy phase of treatment with the theory that if sugar did encourage the rapidity of cancer cell growth and division, that was the best thing to do during chemo. (Chemo is targeted at fast growing cells.)  Post-chemo we will reduce excess sugars.
