A major ally in my quest to heal cancer naturally was Clinical Nutritionist / Master Herbalist John Smothers at Integrative Wellness & Research Center in Memphis, TN. He was the first person to tell me I was doing the right thing by rejecting chemo and radically changing my diet and lifestyle. Words cannot explain how exciting that was for me... Along with a strict anti-cancer diet he recommended a lot of different supplements to support healing in my body. As you can imagine, the question about supplements comes up a lot. "What did you you take, what brands, how much, how often?" I've been hesitant to get into those details because some of the supplements I took were specific to my body's needs and may not be beneficial for every person with cancer. So recently I sat down with John and asked him to put together an updated cancer supplement protocol that I could share with you. These are the fundamental supplements that he recommends for all his clients with cancer (including me), along with strict diet modification.

Back in 2004 when I first started to research natural therapies I read every natural cancer survival testimony I could find. I found many common threads and one of them was jumping on a mini trampoline, aka Rebounding. I figured since so many natural survivors and health practitioners were doing it there must be something to it... Here's a video I made about rebounding along with a detailed blog post about the science behind rebounding.

The Cancer Control Society is a non-profit that distributes literature, books, and videos on Alternative and Natural Medicine.  Since 1973 they have been helping people all over the world prevent and control cancer and other diseases through Nutrition and Non-Toxic Therapies.   Here's a short video of me sharing my story at the 2011 CCS Cancer Convention.

I whipped up this little video to show you how I make my salads and salad dressing. Enjoy!

Another key component in my cancer fight was drinking copious amounts of herbal teas. Specifically the ones with high anti-oxidant and immune boosting properties. Most days I would have a hot cup in the morning, iced herbal tea with meals, and a hot cup before bed. I highly recommend you get these super healthy teas into your body, pronto!

I am not a doctor or a scientist.  I am a self-educated chemo-free cancer survivor and I often have people contact me who want to know more. In this post I explain in the simplest terms what I have come to understand and believe to be true about chemotherapy and why I did not do it.

If you're eating the standard modern diet full of processed food and artificial ingredients; you're putting toxins in your body faster than it can eliminate them. These unnatural chemical and mineral compounds are accumulating in all the tissues of your body, and have been for most of your life. Over time these toxins accumulate inside you until there is a tipping point at which your body is so overloaded that essential systems and functions begin to break down. This is why periodic deliberate detoxing is critical.

  These four cancer-fighting spices have powerful health benefits and were part of my daily regimen to beat cancer without chemo.  They are common, but not commonly found in American cuisine, so I had to be very deliberate about adding …

Before I get into the details of the raw vegan diet, it’s important to understand that our bodies are complex biological machines, and the food we eat is the fuel. Our bodies are brilliantly designed by God to convert all …

An unhealthy diet is a proven cause of disease. In fact, three out of four Americans die every year from diet related diseases such as cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, and diabetes. So it's exciting to see scientific research proving what natural health practitioners have told us for the last 2,400 years. In this 20 minute video presentation William Li presents a new way to think about treating cancer and other diseases: anti-angiogenesis, foods that prevent the growth of blood vessels that feed a tumor.
