A few more thoughts on cancer . . .

As I continue down this road of healing, I am reminded that it takes a while.  Even though I have had all of the cancer removed via surgery, four holistic doctors have confirmed that I continue to be challenged as my body likes to make cancer.   There are days when I just want to get well and I don't want to tell anyone I don't feel well.  I put on a happy face and say, "I'm doing good"!  I believe there is something to the mental part of telling yourself "I AM good today!"

I have been doing so many CRAZY holistic remedies that most of you would laugh at me, but I DO feel surprisingly better.  Today, I did some blood work so we will see what my oncologist says on Wednesday.  She worries about me with my low iron and high estrogen.  But I believe God has me on this journey to help people.  And it has been such a blessing to do just that almost every day!  So many friends are getting healed and it is exciting!

I have been praising the Lord lately that I did not have to do chemo or radiation.  Truly feels like a miracle because if I had been, I would just be finishing my four month treatment and moving on to my year long dose of herceptin.  My hair would be growing back and I would be feeling more "normal" they say.  Thank you Jesus for making me a miracle to help others and not have to endure this!

Along the journey, I have learned much.  Recently, a friend sent me an email with all of this information.  There was no credit given to a single source; however, the Optimum Health Institute in San Diego does tell all their students most of these points.  Some of them I learned just researching.  I just had to share this because I believe each one of the points.  God has given me the blessing of getting to research them and now share them with you. . .


Things I learned at OHI and doing research along the way:


1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer 

cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have
multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients
that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after 
treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the
cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable
size. 

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a 
person's lifetime. 

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer 
cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and
forming tumors. 

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has
nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic,
but also to environmental, food and lifestyle factors

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing
diet to eat more adequately and healthy, 4-5 times/day 
and by including supplements will strengthen the immune system. 
 It is important to find out if the supplements you are taking work with your body.

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing
cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells
in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc., and can 
cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc. 

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars 
and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs. 

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often
reduce tumor size. However, prolonged use of chemotherapy 
and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction. 

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from
chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either
compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb
to various kinds of infections and complications. 

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to
mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy.
Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer
cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. 

*CANCER CELLS FEED ON: 

a. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc. are made
with Aspartame and it is harmful.  A better natural substitute
would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small
amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in
color Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the
gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus
By cutting off milk and substituting 
with unsweetened almond or coconut milk cancer cells are being starved. 

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based
diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little other meat, 
like chicken.  OR THE BEST IS A VEGAN DIET.  
Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites,
 which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. 

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole
grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into
an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked
food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live
enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to
cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance
growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building
healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most
vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw
vegetables 2 or 3 times a day.  Enzymes are destroyed at
temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C).. 

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high
caffeine Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer
fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or
filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap
water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 

12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of
digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the
intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup. 

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering.  By
refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes
to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the
body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells. 

14. Some supplements build up the immune system
(IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals,
EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy
cancer cells.  Other supplements like vitamin E are known
to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's
normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or
unneeded cells. 

15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit.

A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior
be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put
the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to
have a loving and forgiving spirit.  Learn to relax and enjoy life.

16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated
environment.  Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to
get more oxygen down to the cellular level. 
Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells. 

Here is to living the life that God intended for you to live with the health that He planned for each of us to have to ultimately bring Him glory until He takes us home!  Blessings!

"Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.  
My soul clings to you , your right hand upholds me"  Ps 63:7

  1. Thank you for writing this, Jeanna. I am going to send your blog link to a friend that is battling cancer right now. THank you for learning, researching and showing many people that there is another way to fight this disease than what the mainstream doctors present. Praise the Lord for all that He has done in and through you. Keep waging the war! Love, Kimberly

  2. I started a group called the Fabulous IV - all the women have stage IV cancer of some sort and are living their life BOLDLY. We meet every month. I started it for a friend of mine age 39 dx with stage iv breast ca. About a year after her dx and cancer eradication, fear began to haunt her - always looking over her shoulder. I told her i would find her other women that were rocking their life even though their journey requires fighting through stage iv ca. What started with 4 women is now 12 and growing. I am a fly on the wall when we get together as they share resources, hope, and their voice. When one has a bad day, each smiles knowingly. They walk in shoes of courage, hope and hunger to live...we can all learn something. I will keep praying. I will share your story with them. Keep righting. Keep being real; those feelings and emotions are a sure sign of living. Be Great!
