Lisa's Cancer Story!

In 2003, my sister was diagnosed with endometrium cancer. Her doctors told her that this cancer would possibly kill her!

Thankfully, several months prior to the diagnoses, we had suggested that she begin to watch "Your Health" on Family Net. Because of this she had changed her eating habits, was drinking plenty of clean water, and had taken sugar out of her diet.

She had the surgery to remove a large tumor (which was in her uterus and had attached itself to her tail bone) and a cluster of tumors on one of her ovaries. The removal of a lymph node showed possible cancer in other parts of her body. Her doctors stressed to her the need for chemo and radiation. Telling her again "This cancer will kill you!"

After the surgery it was time for the family to get involved. Of course we kept watching "Your Health" as we had done for the last several year and relaying as much information as possible.

As mentioned earlier, Doug Kaufmann was the host at that time. But he often included regulars Dr. Dave Holland and Jami Clark R. N. (Certified in Chemotherapy). Dr. Patrick Quillan (former nutritional director of Cancer Centers of America) was also occasionally on the show.

When Doug Kaufmann was the host of "Your Health" the theme of the show was the relationship of Fungus/Yeast to modern illness…even cancer.

We bought Doug’s book "The Germ That Causes Cancer", and Dr. Quillan’s book "Beating Cancer with Nutrition" along with "Foundations for Healing" by Dr. Richard Becker who at that time was also a frequent guest of the show.

Feeling armed with enough information she decided to take the 28 radiation treatments but at her doctor’s reluctance refused the Chemo. She even had to change doctors because he told her she could not take vitamins, herbs or supplements during radiation. He scoffed at changing her diet and taking out sugar, saying that their was no scientific evidence that sugar fed cancer and shaking his head as if it was crazy to suggest such a thing.

She continued her diet, staying on it better than anyone. Very Strict. She ate absolutely no sugar, processed foods or trans fats, etc. She’s takes Vibe, (a liquid vitamin/mineral formula) Beta Glucan, IP6, Wheat Grass Supplement, Probiotics, Psyllium Fiber, Omega 3 fatty acids, Olive Leaf Extract, alternating with Capryllic Acid, and continues drinking filtered water. She’s exercising (walking daily) and has lost 60 pounds (that she wanted to lose) and feeling better than she did 20 years ago.

During the radiation treatments the nurses couldn’t believe she wasn’t having any side effects and was looking so healthy. But we know that it is her love of God and prayer (which is a big part of her life) and the proper nutrition and supplements, which kept the radiation from ravaging her body.

After the radiation treatments, her new doctor still pressed her to take the Chemo. After discussing the diet and nutritional supplements she was taking and again her desire not to do the chemo, he suggested she have a Pet-Cat scan to check for signs of cancer.

The Pet-Cat scan showed no Cancer…Halleluiah!

Today she is continues with a healthy diet and no sugar. This is a way of living now, one that brought her back from the brink. She is sure of that!

For those of you still unsure whether you believe that sugar feeds cancer, a Pet Cat Scan is radioactive glucose (sugar) injected into the body. Humm…Interesting!

Otto Warburg won a Nobel Prize for proving that SUGAR FEEDS CANCER over 75 years ago, although you'd be hard pressed to find a doctor who is aware of this information. It's time for people to wake up and realize that they must take their health into their own hands. Health care in the USA is a business designed to keep folks in a revolving door and is NOT about health at all.
Update: 7-08 It's been 5 years since her cancer surgery. Lisa just had another visit to her doctor and another pet scan. Her results were amazing! Still no sign of cancer and she is looking and feeling better than ever.

At her appointment the doctor confided again that her cancer was as bad as it gets and told her she really should have died. She shared again all that she had been doing and he told her to keep it up.

A friend alerted me to this website of food-based supplements that have quite a wide array of applications. They are currently generating a lot of interest in the medical community. Not only have these formulas shown promise as natural cancer supplements but they have also shown promising results with other serious ailments. These supplements were formulated by a team of medical professionals who were disillusioned with the track record of western medicine in treating and curing disease. They turned to traditional Eastern medicines and found promise there. After a decade of research and development, they created a line of food-based formulas that are rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation at the cellular level is cited as the pre-cursor of most diseases. Fermented soy and curcumin are two key ingredients used in these formulas and they have both had positive indications in cancer research trials. In one trial curcumin not only repelled progression of cancer, but also broke down the dose of a common chemotherapy drug, making it less toxic to the body but the drug stayed just as powerful in treating the cancer. There is a wealth of clinical trials, research information and testimonials of people who experienced dramatic reversal of symptoms on this website that may be of interest – www.jivasupplements.org

Great blog with great & informative posts. Great post of fighting cancer disease.
Every human body has the innate power in it to heal itself from Cancer. But first of all, we need to treat any toxic burdens in the body & then nourish our body, mind & spirit with good food supplementation, exercise, emotional feeling, positive thinking & spiritual thoughts.
