You may have heard that Beastie Boy Adam Yauch was diagnosed with salivary gland cancer this summer.  He’s taking some time off after returning from a seemingly restorative trip to India.  He emailed his fans about it:

i’m feeling healthy, strong and hopeful that i’ve beaten this thing, but of course time will tell. 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.

Anything that works, right?  Good luck Adam with both your traditional and alternative regimens.

    I hope he goes to a doctor before he realizes that eating organic lettuce and talking to invisible fairies won’t help. :(

    All the hipster woo woo in the world isnt going to help.

    He needs to be seeking traditional meds (like Chemo dude) as well as chanting naked under the moonlight.
