Beastie Boys Adam Yauch Vegan, Organic Cancer Recovery In India
Written by Vegetarian Star on October 8th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Singers.
Adam Yauch of the the Beastie Boys is recovering from cancer treatments after being diagnosed with the disease in his salivary gland in July 2009.
Yauch took a trip to India to take advice from Tibetan doctors, who recommended eating a vegan, organic diet, however, Yauch found eating vegan in India is not as easy as expected.
In a message to his fans, Yauch, better known as MCA, explained:
“so i just got back from dharamsala, india. went over there to see some tibetan doctors, but as it worked out, the Dalai Lama was giving a 3 day teaching, so i was able to attend that as well.”
“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.”
Fellow Beastie Boy Mike D also found vegan food to be a charm, and even hired his own personal chef at one time.
The tumor was said to be in a location that did not affect Yauch’s vocal cords, but the new release date for the next album Hot Sauce Committee Part 1, which was originally set for September 15, has not been determined.
