The information you hold in your hands can change your life, whether or not you have had cancer. This book is a compilation of my personal experiences with terminal cancer, my research findings, and a collection of various other things that I hope you may benefit from. It is important to realize one truth above all else before you continue. Life has no guarantees. Every individual is a unique creation with a specific purpose for living and I believe has a certain path that they must walk in order to reach their own potential. We often become frustrated because our lives do not seem to be the way we want them. It is easy to make excuses for not taking action to change things, to blame others, and to allow fear to immobilize you; to take a wait-and-see attitude when it comes to accepting control of your own behavior and making changes that can drastically alter your life. Believe me, I know what it is like to have been a procrastinator and faultfinder. Now I like to imagine that I am the captain of a ship that represents my life. I make the decisions about how to navigate treacherous waters. I use the technology available to me, I refer to maps that have been created by people who have sailed these waters before me, and I allow the influence of my gut instincts. I have met people who gave the control of their ships over to another person or worse, refused to take control at all, When you do this, you are at the mercy of the sea. You are tossed about and if you reach land at all, you are probably not going to end up where you want to be. Its a better idea to plan the route towards your destination and take control of the helm.
When my oncologist told me I only had eight weeks to live, I picked my jaw up off the floor and said to myself its now or never and got busy. I felt like there was something I could do to be an active participant in the fight against cancer. Let me emphasize that I was given no hope by a doctor that had already seen me accomplish things that were amazing for ordinary healthy people, nonetheless people in my condition going through chemotherapy, surgeries, and radiation.
If you read about the different types of cancer patients, you will learn that the ones who are active in their treatment are most likely to recover. Cancer forced me to dig deep into myself and find strength and purpose I never felt before. I could no longer rely on modern medicine because even with all the technology we have today nothing could save me, according to my doctor. Because of this, I had no choice if I desired to live but to turn to alternative therapies to combine with the medicine and have hope that something I could do would work. I learned that people every day are either cured from cancer, go into spontaneous remission, or the cancer simply disappears with no explanation. I wanted to be one of those people that could share a testimony of hope with others.
Many alternative therapies focus on nutrition. Did you know that medical doctors are not required to have extensive knowledge about nutrition? Most medical universities offer one mandatory course in nutrition and thats it. I remember when I first heard I was terminal; I was desperate to get my hands on a plan that I could start immediately. I wanted to go to a holistic center where I could learn better nutrition and alternative treatments. My insurance wouldnt pay for it and in order for them to reserve me a spot, I was required to put up a deposit of $24,000.00. Thats twenty-four thousand dollars for a deposit! I wasnt going to allow myself to be victimized by a society that only seems to care about people with money. I decided the only alternative therapy I could afford was to design a program for myself from the research I could find. I will go through my reasoning for this plan below but here it is.
I used a very common sense approach that was a combination of all my research. This was a 3-point plan:
1) Cleanse the body 2) 3) Feed it nutrients 4) 3) Love myself
At present, my new medical team is astounded. Even though most of my brain at one time was overrun with cancer, I have a quality life and since I started using my own resources to fight this disease, the spread of the cancer has halted and even reversed. They have called me their walking miracle.
Remember that it may have taken cancer years to develop in your body and so it may take years to reverse it. Never give up. The one thing I promised to myself and those closest to me was that I might lose the battle in the end but one thing was for sure: I would go down fighting. And thats what I intend to do.
I hope that my story will inspire you and get you excited about taking control of your own life. I want you to get busy today. Dont wait. I wish you a long, healthy, productive life and I offer you this information as what I see as my own purpose in life, to help others. Good luck to you and keep the faith!
