Hoping to set the minds of his fans at ease, The Beastie Boys‘ Adam “MCA” Yauch sent out a massive email to his devoted followers discussing his recovery from salivary gland cancer.
Adam took this time to travel to India and talk with Tibetan doctors about alternative medicine and advice on how to proceed. During his time there, he was fortunate enough to attend a “three-day” teaching, hosted by the Dalai Lama himself! He confesses that the experience has been very good for him, helping him to feel “healthy, strong and hopeful”, which is what we love to hear.
Adam also writes:
“I’m taking Tibetan medicine and at the recommendation of the Tibetan doctors I’ve been eating a vegan/organic diet, which surprisingly enough was harder to do in India than it is now that I’m back home. Here I can just shop for the right food and cook… a lot easier than depending on restaurants. When I was in India I visited an ani gompa (a nunnery) called jamyang choling. They did a puja (religious ceremony) for me to help me get well. One nun said to me ‘we do prayers and then you are better.’ So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice.”
Whatever works, whatever helps, keep doing it!
We hope he continues to feel better!
